I'm tired and angry at me. For letting myself get smaller and smaller in the hopes that he would notice me more. But how can someone notice you if you keep getting smaller?

Ella is from The Glass Gate by @hannasandvig Here's another chibi for ya. Ella here was another that I got done sketch wise last year. I think she came out cute, but MAN that dress took me a bit to get through haha! Ella is a young woman wanting to be free from her step family constantly belittling and overworking her. That is, until her friend tells her about a place she's never heard of before, a place called Faerie. Ella wants nothing more than to be an amazing fashion designer, but she feels her portfolio is pretty underwhelming, she needs something that'll help make her portfolio shine through all the others, and thanks to a proposition she overheard from a fae Prince, Ella might just get it, and perhaps, something more. . . . . #chibi #whimsicalfeatures #fanart #artgram #digitalartist #latinamericanartist #artistofig #fantasy #fantasybook #yabook #nabook #wip #doodles #sketch #photoshop #photoshopartist #animestyle #animeartist #theglassgate #hannasandvig #romantasy #yafantasy #nafantasy #indieBook #indieauthor #cinderella https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYFWANO4Yj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Heart of the Moon Series has been an extraordinary journey for me. Over the past ten years, I have had these characters and their stories stirring in my head. I released three of the four books out of this series over ten years ago, but landed on a new path that deterred me away from my characters. Now I am ready to finish their story, but I feel that the first three books didn't do them justice, so I extended the first book and will be doing the same with the others. Now I feel confident that everyone will fall in love with my characters as I have and I can't wait for people to get to know them.

Welcome to the Heart of the Moon Series, where Britt will go through more than she ever thought possible as she stumbles into the supernatural world, all while going through the heartaches, betrayal, pain, devotions, and the suspense of paranormal romance!

Children of the Night Review

4/5 stars Recommended for people who like: fantasy, steampunk, multiple POVs, vampires, reimaginings Big thanks to Netgalley and Victory Editing for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review! This is a clever take on reimaginings, and I liked how different aspects of each of the OG gothic monsters played into the characters. It was fun trying to guess how elements of each of the original stories would come into this book, and potentially future ones. I liked how seamlessly the monsters, Unnaturals, and steampunk elements fit into 19th century Venice. However, I will say that it didn't really feel like 1800s Venice, it just kind of felt like that setting was there as a prop and not a lot was really done with it, so I'd've liked to see more of that Venetian aspect and more of that historical aspect. I did really like the concept of the Academia and the Scholomance, and think both added a layer of tension and creepiness to things. Likewise, I enjoyed Ayanda's home and would definitely like to see more of it and her family. They do play a minor role in this book, but I am a kicker for mutants and schools and found families, so I would be satisfied if we could get an entire book dedicated to the Unnatural family living in Venice. While there are four POVs, I think for this book Ayanda is the main MC. As a Draculesti Unnatural, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Dead (Undead?) and gains strength when near them, so naturally she turns to vampire hunting as a hobby. I would like to know a bit more about this hobby of hers and when it started, because Marina, her adoptive mother, seems fairly surprised at her behavior yet Ayanda seems to have a pretty good grasp on what she's doing so it also feels like it's not a new thing. There's a bit of mystery about Ayanda's background that this book begins to get into, like breadcrumbs, so it'll be interesting to see what else is uncovered about her in future books. Jette is scientifically minded and is able to work through complex issues and invent helpful things. She has an interesting arc in this story, and while it is necessary for her, I almost wish that she had her own book within which to work these things through. By the end of the book it seems as though she's accepted some things about her dual nature, though of course this could always backslide. Belle also has a backstory hidden with amnesia, though I think parts of it start coming out in this book. Her existence (or the type of Unnatural that she is) speaks to more layers of living-dead, Natural-Unnatural than is fully covered in this book, so I think it'd be interesting to see where that goes and what's revealed through that. Belle's a loyal one and will fight for her people if given the chance, and despite how unsure she is of her own power at the beginning. I'll be honest, it really felt like Belle and Jette were going to be a thing in this book, and then one of them drops the word 'sister,' which kind of threw me off. Their relationship definitely felt more like romantic love than familial, so I'm wondering if the author realized that and backtracked or if it's something that will be dealt with in a future book. Yurei is the character I feel like we know the least about, despite him getting a decent amount of POV time. He seems to have the threads of a couple of different stories in him (Phantom being the most obvious), and I'd like to get better insight into him. The main chunk of the book is dedicated to hunting the Big Bad vampire, which is likely why Ayanda is the MC. I liked how Safra chose to include a bunch of different kinds of vampires and had them be different species rather than just choosing one or two, I think it made it more interesting and added a good depth to the story. I also thought the different levels of vampires (lesser vs. greater, not-dead servants vs. dead, etc.) were interesting. This is a fun, action-packed book if you’re looking for a light read!

Nova Albright, the first Black homecoming queen at Lovett High, is dead. Murdered the night of her coronation, her body found the next morning in the old slave cemetery she spent her weekends rehabilitating.

Tinsley McArthur was supposed to be queen. Not only is she beautiful, wealthy, and white, it's her legacy — her grandmother, her mother, and even her sister wore the crown before her. Everyone in Lovett knows Tinsley would do anything to carry on the McArthur tradition. No one is more certain of that than Duchess Simmons, Nova's best friend. Duchess's father is the first Black police captain in Lovett. For Duchess, Nova's crown was more than just a win for Nova. It was a win for all the Black kids. Now her best friend is dead, and her father won't face the fact that the main suspect is right in front of him. Duchess is convinced that Tinsley killed Nova--and that Tinsley is privileged enough to think she can get away with it. But Duchess's father seems to be doing what he always does: fall behind the blue line. Which means that the white girl is going to walk.

Duchess is determined to prove Tinsley's guilt. And to do that, she'll have to get close to her. But Tinsley has an agenda, too.

Everyone loved Nova. And sometimes, love is exactly what gets you killed.

QotD: If you were thrown into a competition to meet the love of your life, would you take part? Also, would it be a Prince/Princess or one of the competitors? Alright, time to talk about book 1.5 in The Faerie Tale Romance series, The Lily Gate by @hannasandvig TLG is a The Frog Prince/The Princess and the Frog retelling with a talking frog who loves sweets, a bachelorette competition, a half fae half human princess who takes charge of her own life, and a true love's kiss. You follow a young woman named Tuala, a fae princess who loves to bake and likes order just as much. This competition to find the love of her life her mother concocted should be simple enough. Fae princes from around the Seelie kingdom just need to take part in 3 competitions, and win each one and earn a . . . Kiss from her. Tuala isn't super stoked to kiss a bunch of guys, but her mother swears that a way to find love is to feel the sparks from their kiss. Alright, should be easy enough, except, someone Tuala was expecting to meet hasn't arrived, even though a talking green frog is telling her otherwise. This was the third book I read in this series. It was so fun and cute and I actually enjoyed the challenges in this bachelorette style competition. If you're a fan of The Frog Prince or The Princess and the Frog and just want a cute, fun, chill romancy filled read, give this story a try. I think you'll have a lot of fun 😁 . . . . #bookstagram #fantasybook #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #bookdragon #ilovebooks #bibliophile #bookcommunity #thefaerietaleromance #yafantasy #yabook #nafantasy #nabook #hannasandvig #romantasy #cozyfantasy #portalfantasy #romancebook #thefrogprince #retelling #thelilygate #indiebook #indieauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxbNHzLNsO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"People have an annoying habit of remembering things they shouldn't." IG cut off portions of this piece so you can see the full version on 🐦 and others. I did it! Here's my take on Brom from the Inheritance Cycle by @christopher_paolini I honestly didn't think about drawing him until someone left me a comment asking if I was going to draw him next. So I did! Now I'm debating adding Oromis to my list of characters from this series to draw haha! Next up is Elva. Here's character 7 of 10? Where I decided to practice more on Procreate. So some of the Inheritance Cycle headshot fan arts will be done on that program, because must practice lol. I hope you guys like my take on this character. . . . . #whimsicalfeatures #artgram #animestyle #animeartist #digitalartist #procreate #ArtistOfIg #procreateartist #brom #dragonrider #eragon #inheritancecycle #fanart #eragonfanart #christopherpaolini #fanartfriday #bookart #bookfanart #youngadult #yabook #fantasy #fantasybook #yafantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnw97morzp1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Book Review: Borrow My Heart by Kasie West

Borrow My Heart by Kasie WestMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Appropriate for middle schoolers 🙂This book is so cute. I have been looking for more YA to give recommendations to my favorite middle schooler. It is hard to find a modern YA book that does not make you cringe or get current trends wrong. Kasie West does a great job on not doing any of those things and giving you a good story.I really…
