“‘You were created for more than to bear the weight of your shadows—but you have to choose to no longer let them define you. You have to choose to let the light shine through the shattered pieces.’”

This was absolutely Magical. ☺️✨🧚🤩

I was spellbound the first time I read this when it came out, and it was every bit as gripping the second time around!

Dust was my first introduction to Kara’s writing and I’ve read all her books since. Fun fact: it was also my introduction to Enclave Publishing, which because of this GORGEOUS cover, my family had dubbed Enclave as the official “pretty book cover company.” A very well deserved endorsement. 🤩

Peter Pan has had my heart ever since childhood when I watched the Disney version over and over. This grown-up, darker, grittier version of the beloved classic was everything my heart needed. 🥹💛
