I want a fantasy series with a new magic system. Not centered around a firebird, or death, or fairies. #MSWL

I am craving an epic High Fantasy Romance. Think WINNER'S CURSE or ACOTAR. #MSWL

I wan the snap, crackle and pop of the character chemistry that Sarah J. Maas has in the ACOTAR. And I don't mean the sexy times, but the actual character interactions (side characters and all) #MSWL

Also I blame @chatgreenfield for why I can't stop thinking about a teen in cozy mystery. Maybe murder at the quilting club, or underground grandma karaoke goes awry.

Side note, I am a huge fan of the TRULY DEVIOUS novels so you can also see the influence there #MSWL

And jumping off mermaids: PROFESSIONAL MERMAIDS. Have you all seen the people who make the super realistic mermaid tales? Or do you know there mermaid meet ups? Or that you can take a class to learn to swim like a mermaid (it's a scuba diving class) #MSWL

Mermaids. I know I am picky, but I know the mermaid story for me is out there.

It'll be atmospheric, mermaids won't talk under water, hell it might not even be set in the water. #MSWL
