    GLOW Legends Series by Morgan Brice Release Date: August 28, 2026 Review Glow had a bit of different vibe than the others, but no less entertaining. Where the others had a central storyline about them making to it to the solstice bash, Glow takes a departure that involves Dan moving towns.   On the run from hunters and terrible podcasters (seriously, not everyone should be allowed a microphone), Dan finds himself taking refuge in Fox Hollow where his online friend, Quinn, lives.   Beyond the stress of running, there’s the usual nerves of coming out as cryptid, meeting new people, learning to trust, and falling in love.   It was a lot fun with great small town/sanctuary vibes.   Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Let your light shine. When Dan Connor, the Dover Demon, is pursued by bounty hunters, he seeks sanctuary in Fox Hollow in the Adirondack Forest. Dan inherited the spirit from hi...

  YARD SALE Legends and Fury - Book Three by EM Lindsey Release Date: August 27, 2026 Review Too blind for some, not blind enough for others- what an exhausting world to live in.
