Annette Jordan's review of Vanquished (The Elder Tree Trilogy, #3) 5/5: Vanquished by Erica Rose Eberhart was one of my most anticipated reads of 2026 and it certainly did not disappoint. I fell in love with these characters in Tarnished and with the dramatic ending ...

Congratulations @ericaroseeberhart.bsky.social , Vanquished is finally out and what a finale to one of my favourite series !

The cover of What Happened That Summer has the title in white against a backdrop of a gradient of purples, pinks , oranges and yellows. There is the back lit image of a girl with flowing hair, arms outstretched and the silhouette of a roller coaster above the author's name

What a great way to kick off my 2026 reading @laurapauthor.bsky.social , fantastically immersive storytelling , a love story that had me rooting for a second chance and an ending I did not see coming !

Daughter of the Otherworld Iโ€™ve been reading Shauna Lawlessโ€™s books since the very first book and was immediately hooked. Retellings of Irish history with magic, myth, and folklore interwoven into the stories? Coโ€ฆ

If you love Irish History, folklore, mythology, and strong characters, I highly recommend Daughter of the Otherworld by @shaunalawless.bsky.social ! Part of the Gael Song Era 2, I encourage you to pick up a copy.
