Happy, Happy Release Day to Adverse Devices: These Mortal Wings,
by Elizabeth D. Marie!!
I love, love, LOVE Elizabeth's fantasy series, Crown of Stars---a SEVEN book series of faerietale retellings, starting with a story inspired by Beauty & the Beast. [YESSSSS] You've never read retellings like these, y'all! They are filled with an epic, fantastical storyworld, AMAZING characters, clean romance, and ACTION-PACKED adventures with a darker, grim side of things. I was seriously terrified during certain scenes... But each book is OH SO GOOOOOOOD.
That said, knowing how much I loved those books, when I heard she was releasing a new trilogy in an entirely different genre, I HAD TO READ IT. And so, here I am, happily a part of the launch team!!
You can find my review link below. :] But for now, read on and just go ahead & add to your TBR list. ;D
Help me welcome the release & congratulate Elizabeth!!

IT'S A WAR WHERE GODS AND MORTALS CLASH…
In Lebab, man walks in the shadow of the White Tower, taking for themselves many wives and sacrificing their children to the gods who rule the great city. Society sees only one purpose for women: to increase the honor and prestige of their husbands by bearing sons. Without a male relation to take charge of them, they are left destitute and cast-out into the poor sectors.
Elishah relies on her brother to provide for her; he has always protected her and encouraged her to pursue her dreams of dancing.
Until a devastating explosion leaves her alone in the world.
But she never should have survived.
One man steps forward in the aftermath, to tell her she has a rare and powerful gift...
The Wings fight to protect mankind from an ancient evil that has been spreading its poisoned roots throughout the city since the beginning of time––from a world that lives unseen beneath the surface.
And the legendary gods of Babel are rising once again.
Yehoshua knows his fellow Wings cannot win this battle alone. Elishah could be the key to a long-forsaken genetic code. With her help, they could defeat Babel once and for all.
If he can convince her of the ability flowing through her veins…

series Crown of Stars. She has been writing and imagining worlds since she was a child - where stories like The Chronicles of Narnia helped shape her imagination and draw her closer to the Master Storyteller and Creator.
Her heart is to provide clean, epic fiction for teens and adults. She believes in the power of stories and the truths they are meant to remind us of: that there is an unseen battle taking place, and we are a part of that battle. We are meant to shine a light into the ever present darkness and hold fast in faith for the return of the Great Lion, when all things will be mended and made right again.
Elizabeth makes her home in Northern Indiana, enjoying her wooded-country surroundings and time spent with family and friends - writing under the supervision of her bengal-mix, Captain Cal (who spends more time snoring than supervising).
When she is not writing, Elizabeth can be found reading from her never-ending TBR stack, eating ice cream, drawing, binge watching classics like The Dick Van Dyke Show, and caring for her home - whatever she can manage while dealing with the aftermath of being diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2019. She loves connecting with her readers and talking about all things books, movies, fairytales (Beauty and the Beast is her favorite!), and the Bible.
As always, she would like to remind readers to KEEP THE LANTERNS BURNING AGAINST THE NIGHT; HOLD THE DARKNESS AT BAY.

Intrigued??
Come on, you can confess it. *wink wink* Seriously though, I enjoyed this novel & hope you do as well should you happen to pick it up at some point. :] We need more of these clean Urban Fantasies, in my humble opinion.
Anyway, Happy Release Day! And God be with you, my friends!

To each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass, and a book of rules,
And each must make, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block or a stepping stone.
