💬 Name a favorite 2021 book cover! . Check out this stunning cover for BEASTS OF PREY by @ayanagray_! In this much-anticipated series opener, fate binds two Black teenagers together as they strike a dangerous alliance to hunt down the ancient creature menacing their home—and discover much more than they bargained for. BEASTS OF PREY releases September 28th! Is this one on your radar yet? . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Magic doesn't exist in the broken city of Lkossa anymore, especially for girls like sixteen-year-old Koffi. Indentured to the notorious Night Zoo, she cares for its fearsome and magical creatures to pay off her family's debts and secure their eventual freedom. But the night her loved ones' own safety is threatened by the Zoo's cruel master, Koffi unleashes a power she doesn't fully understand—and the consequences are dire. As the second son of a decorated hero, Ekon is all but destined to become a Son of the Six—an elite warrior—and uphold a family legacy. But on the night of his final rite of passage, a fire upends his plans. In its midst, Ekon not only encounters the Shetani—a vicious monster that has plagued the city and his nightmares for nearly a century—but a curious girl who seems to have the power to ward off the beast. Koffi's power ultimately saves Ekon's life, but his choice to let her flee dooms his hopes of becoming a warrior. Desperate to redeem himself, Ekon vows to hunt the Shetani down and end its reign of terror, but he can't do it alone. Meanwhile, Koffi believes finding the Shetani and selling it for a profit could be the key to solving her own problems. Koffi and Ekon—each keeping their true motives secret from the other—form a tentative alliance and enter into the unknowns of the Greater Jungle, a world steeped in wild magic and untold dangers. The hunt begins. But it quickly becomes unclear whether they are the hunters or the hunted. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #beastsofprey #ayanagray #yanovels #yabookstagrammer #yabookseries #bookcovers #coverreveal #toberead #alwaysreading #bibliophile #bibliophilelife #bibliogeek #bibliofeature #mybookfeatures #readmorebooks #readersofinstagram #booksofig #readinglife #flashesofdelight https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBIPcJnfp8/?igshid=jw5y41z3419d

Past And Future Reads: February 2022.

I know I’m super late with this monthly wrap up. I don’t really have an excuse, time just got away from me. I think I did quite well during February. The first two on this list are books I mentioned I had started last month but hadn’t finished. I also mentioned A History Of Wild Places in January too, but unfortunately I have had to temporarily put it aside. Just couldn’t get into the right…

🧙‍♀️ HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🧙‍♀️ A while ago, I was tagged by @lost.in.fairytales to do a #blackbookstack, and I figured why not make it WITCHY? These are just some of my witchy books, and not even all the ones that are black 🖤 And the only one I've read of these yet is A LESSON IN VENGEANCE by @sosaidvictoria, which I LOVED, but clearly I aim to read them all 😁 So there you have it, my #witchybooks #blackbookstack! I hope everyone has a safe and healthy and fun Halloween, if you celebrate, and/or a beautiful Dia de Las Muertas. If you decide to do a witchy book stack or black book stack, feel free to tag me so I see it! #witchyvibes #witches #bookstagram #bookstagramit #bookstagrammer #ncbookstagrammer #ncbooklovers #happyhalloween🎃👻 #alessoninvengeance #victorialee #paybacksawitch #lanaharper #labyrinthlost #zoraidacordova #beastsofprey #ayanagray #thewitchhaven #sashapeytonsmith #witchessteepedingold #ciannonsmart https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqnk4QrJPf/?utm_medium=tumblr

ℚ𝕆𝕋𝔻: Do you have a favorite animal? What is it? ⁣ ⁣ I have two favorites that I can’t choose between . . . sloths 🦥 and elephants 🐘! Owls🦉are also up there! ⁣ ⁣ Beasts of Prey features some of the coolest (and freakiest) magical beasts and animals! I read this awesome book last week and I absolutely loved it. It was a bit slow to start, but once it got going I could not put it down! The cliffhanger ending was totally epic and I can’t wait to find out what happens next. ⁣ ⁣ My favorite part was definitely the imagery and the depictions of all the beasts! I can’t wait to see how they look on screen in the Netflix adaptation! I do have one complaint though … why is it always spiders!! Warning to all arachnophobes, there is a horrible sequence involving spiders that I had to skim through. I really hope the show doesn’t include this scene! ⁣ ⁣ Huge thank you to the Penguin Teen Influencers program for sharing this e-arc with me! ⁣ ⁣ ✨Challenges✨⁣ #MyFictionalMusings - monsters ⁣ #MyFandomObsessionsOct21 - wicked #fantasyfriday⁣ ⁣ ✨Hashtags✨⁣ #PenguinTeen #BeastsOfPrey #PenguinTeenInfluencers #BookToScreen #FairyLoot #PrettyCovers #AdvancedReadersCopy #ARCReview #ReadersAssemble #MagicalBeasts #MagicalReads #Cliffhanger #DebutAuthors #AyanaGray #MonstersAndMagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDQFDXrhKI/?utm_medium=tumblr

✨✨REVIEW✨✨

Beasts of Prey by Ayana Gray~5🌟

This was an ARC that I won in a BookishFirst giveaway. Thank you so much to BookishFirst and the publishers for providing this copy for review! Definitely be sure to get this book when it releases in September!

I seriously loved this book so much. I loved that it was split between three main POVs, Adiah (first person, told in past), Koffi (third person, told in present), and Ekon (third person, told in present). It was such a unique reading experience!

Next is the writing style. 10/10! I loved Ayana's writing style so much! It really transports you to the world of Lkossa! I can't wait for the sequel!! Koffi and Ekon are such amazing characters and I want to be back with them so bad. The magic system was unique and you can tell it took a while to put together. It's so thought out and I really appreciated it.

The whole story/setting was very African inspired and it was brilliantly done! In the author's note, Ayana says that the language (yes!! There's a whole new language! Think Ravkan or Kerch from the Grishaverse) was based off of the Swahili language, which is such a cool language to build off of. I loved the addition of new plants (edible and deadly) and animals (mostly deadly) in the Greater Jungle. It made it feel like it was a real place.

The twist at the end... I will never get over it! It leaves the reader wanting more, and I was just in shock for the last 20 pages. I even started to tear up a little. Definitely be sure to read the trigger/content warnings (I'll post them in the comments!), and go preorder Beasts of Prey NOW!!!

(Swipe for synopsis! Sorry for the typo on slide two, it should say Shetani 🙃)

Congratulations, Ayana Gray!!!! Have you read BEASTS OF PREY and BEASTS OF RUIN? Are you as excited as we are for the @netflix TV adaption screenplay written by @melodycooperfilm?!? Reposted @ayanagray_ On its surface, BEASTS OF PREY is wish fulfillment, the story of two Black kids (a warrior-in-training and a beastkeeper at a magical zoo) who go on an epic mission into a magical jungle to hunt down a monster. Within its pages though, I like to think there’s a bit more there. It’s the story of two teens grappling with grief, trauma, and the overwhelming fear of finding their place within their communities and world. It’s a story that celebrates Black history and mythologies, while hopefully opening up new worlds for kids to question and explore. It is a book that has changed my life in many big ways, but so many tiny ones. Thank you to everyone around the world who has embraced BOP in all her fullness. Thanks to my agent, @petejknapp, for believing in her first, and thanks to the wonderful team at @penguinteen for giving her a home to grow up within. Of course, thanks to the many readers, educators, family, and friends, who have championed this book and series from the very beginning. My heart is full with gratitude. #ayanagray #beastsofprey #yafantasy #yafantasyseries #bookbirthday #yalit #bookstagram #booktok #blackstories #blackstoriesmatter #blackstorieshavepower #storyteller #fantasybooks #blackcreatives (at Sistah Scifi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqA-Lbir8eK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QTOD: What are you planning on reading this month?⁣ ⁣ Like usual, I have no idea. I am hoping to read #BeastsOfPrey by #AyanaGray since I was supposed to read it last month, but we'll see how that goes.⁣ ⁣ I was fortunate enough to be approved to read it on NetGalley but unfortunately life got in the way. 😔 I'll leave the synopsis in the comments, if you're interested.⁣ ⁣ I'm still really excited to read it though. I just need to figure out how to fit reading back into my schedule.⁣ ⁣ How do you find time to read when you get busy?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #BookReadHappyHour [So the darkness shall be light.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #PenguinTeen #vscobooks #bookreviewer https://instagr.am/p/CUliydQLFyk/

We know we are late, but congratulations Ayana!!! Reposted @ayanagray_ In a pleasant, end-of-year surprise, a huge thanks to @kirkus_reviews for selecting BEASTS OF RUIN as one of its Best YA Novels of the year. This is the second time one of my books has made this list, and it’s an honor to be included along some fantastic titles! Sophomore books are notoriously difficult, but I am grateful for everything this book has taught me about myself and my abilities. I can’t wait for you all to meet Book 3 soon (which now technically has a real title!!) Don’t forget that you can order signed and personalized copies of all my books from my local indie @wordsworth.ar for the holidays!
