Read it after: Serpent & Dove
About the series: A witch and a witch hunter find themselves in a marriage of convenience. No, that’s not the beginning of a joke, but rather the premise of Shelby Mahurin’s debut series. In this fantasy world, witches are feared and burned at the stake by the Church. If that sounds a bit grim, don’t worry. There’s also plenty of sass in this enemies-to-lovers tale.

same here wanting to read these new ones but having like 20 old ones
Lol, where's the new Market of Monsters book?
My copy of Wayward Witch is on its way. So sad to see this series end. Hopefully, the publishers will let Zoraida write Nova's story someday.
Umm. You have the character name wrong on The Lost Book of the White. It's Lightwood not Lightfoot.
I’m excited about blood and honey, the silvered serpent, majesty, and iron heart

So many books so little time. Hope heaven has a library with all the books one wants to read.
Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan CrowBrilliant series, eagerly awaiting the 3rd book. below is a blurb about the 3rd book, more people should check out the series.
Strange things are happening in Nevermoor...
Morrigan Crow faces her most dangerous challenge yet in her latest Wundrous adventure.
Morrigan Crow and her friends have survived their first year as proud scholars of the elite Wundrous Society, helped bring down the nefarious Ghastly Market, and proven themselves loyal to Unit 919. Now Morrigan faces a new, exciting challenge: to master the mysterious Wretched Arts of the Accomplished Wundersmith, and control the power that threatens to consume her.
But a strange and frightening illness has taken hold of Nevermoor, turning infected Wunimals into mindless, vicious unnimals on the hunt. As victims of the Hollowpox multiply, panic spreads. And with the city she loves in a state of fear, Morrigan quickly realises it's up to her to find a cure for the Hollowpox, even if it will put her - and everyone in Nevermoor - in more danger than she ever imagined.

There are so many things I can do while listening. Sometimes the task or the book loses some attention, but mostly it's a win-win. Terry Pratchett's books narrated by Seth Briggs are particularly delightful; I even re-listen to those! particularly when grumpy, or low on other options
So excited to read Iron Heart!! It feels like it's been foreverrr <3 Y'all go read Crier's War okay?? It's an absolute masterpiece!
