This week I can’t wait for:

A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth

Expected publication: 23 February 2021

Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books

From Goodreads:

Choose your player.

The “ironborn” half-fae outcast of her royal fae family.
A tempestuous Fury, exiled to earth from the Immortal Realm and hellbent on revenge.
A dutiful fae prince, determined to earn his place on the throne.
The prince’s brooding guardian, burdened with a terrible secret.

For centuries, the Eight Courts of Folk have lived among us, concealed by magic and bound by law to do no harm to humans. This arrangement has long kept peace in the Courts—until a series of gruesome and ritualistic murders rocks the city of Toronto and threatens to expose faeries to the human world.

Four queer teens, each who hold a key piece of the truth behind these murders, must form a tenuous alliance in their effort to track down the mysterious killer behind these crimes. If they fail, they risk the destruction of the faerie and human worlds alike. If that’s not bad enough, there’s a war brewing between the Mortal and Immortal Realms, and one of these teens is destined to tip the scales. The only question is: which way?

Wish them luck. They’re going to need it.

Why I Can’t Wait for this book:

I’m not really into Fae books, but I’m drawn to this idea of 4 queer fae teens in a contemporary city. More urban fantasy and less paranormal romance.

I’m also generally not drawn to books because of covers but if that fae on the cover is the fae we get inside, I am so here for that.
