Dahlia Emily Danforth's book is actually adult this time around!

Rainbowheart Thanks for the heads up! I had assumed it was YA.

Rainbowheart Removed A Curse of Roses. Looks like it got an earlier 2020 release.

Rainbowheart I just had to delete a *ton* of pre-2021 releases. Please guys, read the description before voting!

Also removed Blackwater, Ill Shadows, The Meadows, Second Coming, The Ojja-Wojja, The Lock-Eater, Alone Out Here, Forever Is Now, These Precious Stones, Fire Becomes Her, Spin Me Right Round, Of Story and Spirit, The Black Volume of the Dead, The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester, which all got pushed to 2022 or later, along with Payback's a Witch and Read Between the Lines, which are both adult fiction.
