If you’re anxiously waiting for your copy of Onyx Storm, may I suggest filling that time by reading To Shape a Dragon’s Breath, an amazing fantasy novel set at a dragon academy with a queer Indigenous protagonist and multiple hot love interests?

LOOKING FOR A SIGN is about a queer woman who, in order to find her soulmate, takes on a challenge to date one person of each astrological sign. Modern dating chaos + New Orleans adventures + astrology fun! 💜✨🔮

Reading a horror novel during a camping trip is an objectively bad idea, but when you’ve got an early copy of Tananarive Due’s next book, waiting is not an option! 📚👀
