✨THE HOLLOWS is officially out now in paperback, ebook, and hardcover!✨

If you’re into sword-wielding witches, haunting ghosts (including 27 ghost cats 🐈‍⬛), and tempting demons—all wrapped up in a sapphic love story—this one’s for you!

With its eerie, unfading fog, enchanting shops selling cures in the forms of pastries and flowers, and its crystal market, Misttown is the perfect witchy haven. But when the fog vanishes, replaced by a strange green smoke, and ghosts begin to roam the streets, everything changes.

For Brume, a witch whose modest talents include being haunted by ghost cats, baking heartbreak-soothing treats, and uprooting moss and weeds, her uneventful life takes a dramatic turn. Not only is she the only one able to see the ghosts, but when she loses someone to the smoke, she has no choice but to investigate.

Accompanied by a half-demon, a bone witch, a seer, a necromancer, and a herd of ghosts, Brume embarks on a journey that might do more than solve the curse; she might find herself and the magic she has always been too afraid to embrace.

Overview: Estranged from her mother and with only virtual friends to keep her company, Sandy Meyers has always felt alone. That changes when she meets Joyce, a mysterious and quiet woman who makes one solemn promise: To keep Sandy safe. Though puzzled by Joyce’s words, Sandy treasures their brief connection—until Joyce vanishes without a trace. Fearing the return of her loneliness, Sandy quickly bonds with Carter, a charismatic and renowned artist she meets at a club. But as their relationship intensifies, Sandy’s behavior takes a dark and violent turn, inexplicably tied to the haunting allure of Carter’s art.

Sometimes the mad genius necromancer crosses paths (again) with the witch from a traditional witching family and there's just. . . magic.

Blurb: A LGBTQ+ cozy urban fantasy novel for fans of The Ex Hex, and October Daye.

What’s a little necromancy between family? 

For the Crow Witch, Icarus "Rus" Ashthorne, Moondale seemed the perfect hiding place. But like they always say, you can't go home again, and Rus finds out quickly that nothing is how she remembered, while at the same time very little has changed. Then she comes face to face with the only woman she's ever loved, Az Elwood, and... well, things get messier than she thought they ever could.

The Elwoods are a staple of Moondale, respected, feared, powerful, and Azure Elwood was always happy with her place amongst them. Happy to play the part of the good little witch, until Rus Ashthorne. Eleven years ago, Rus got on a bus and left Azure behind, but she's back, with two little girls trailing her like ducklings, and enough unspoken things between them to drown the town. Now witch hunters are knocking at their proverbial door, the council of magic is being a real pain in the ass, and Rus wonders how much magic it’ll take to protect the people she loves from herself and the danger following her.

I discovered this wonderful sapphic novel called Mrs. S,” written by K Patrick. I love the writing style; there are no quotation marks, and it's very stream-of-consciousness, which I find makes the story more immersive. There's not much in the way of plot, mainly just vibes. It's set in a boarding school, and it follows the relationship between the butch matron and femme headmistress. This book is so good that it's actually homophobic that I didn't find it during Pride Month! Anyway, if you haven't read it already, go give it a read!

“I am not here out of obligation. I am not here because of divine duty. I chose to be here, Asterin. And if this ring tipped the scales and killed you, this world wouldn’t be worth walking.”

Please witness this stunning illustration of my princess and her bodyguard, Asterin and Oriana, from FALLING STAR! This gorgeous piece is by imedmi on Instagram, who also illustrated and designed the cover for FALLING STAR, which I can’t wait to show you when the time comes!

💫 And if you love this piece as much as I do, stay tuned! I’m planning to include some special goodies bundled with the book when I finally release it!

💫 if you’re just popping in, hey! I’m Jasmine, and I write dark, emotional stories about finding weird magic where you least expect it, and the messiness of being human. FALLING STAR will be my self-publishing debut, and it features bi rep, soulmates-gone-wrong, a haunted FMC with a martyr complex, a magic system inspired by Greek mythology, and lots of sapphic pining.

🩵 For now, you can add FALLING STAR on Goodreads and StoryGraph, subscribe to my newsletter (link in my bio!), or follow me here (or IG and TikTok) for more updates!

Crier’s War

8.5/10 low spice ya but doesn’t feel too ya post apocalyptic robots girls being girls 😉

The sell: ENEMIES TO LOVERS. HUMANS VS ROBOTS. What does it mean to be human? What does attraction and passion feel like? So interesting world structure I found the past little stories very interesting for once. Story is about a naive smart robot princess Crier and The traumatized warrior rebel human girl Ayla. Something to keep in mind even though it doesn’t feel like it both girls are around 16 or 17 which might not be so weird for most people but there are some YA actions which because the story is in general written well will make you go wtf are you acting like that? But both of them are mentally unstable lol. Anyways I enjoyed the twists of the mystery the slow reveal that both sides of the ships maybe don’t fully understand the other side. I enjoyed the romance it felt warm and natural. I think if you like Scifi Fantasy put it on the list. Although let me say it’s more Fantasy than scifi if you get what I mean.
