Fans of The Rose Society, Graceling, and Six of Crows will thrill to the masterful world-building and fiercely flawed heroine in this heart-pounding follow-up to Julia Vanishes, book two in the Witch s Child trilogy. Adventure, murder, romance, intrigue, and betrayal with a 16-year-old heroine that is both fierce and flawed at the same time. Hypable.com Julia and a mismatched band of revolutionaries, scholars, and thieves have crossed the world searching for a witch. But for all the miles traveled, they are no closer to finding Ko Dan. No closer to undoing the terrible spell he cast that bound an ancient magic to the life of a small child. Casimir wants that magic will happily kill Theo to extract it and every moment they hunt for Ko Dan, Casimir s assassins are hunting them. Julia can deal with danger. The thing that truly scares her lies within. Her strange ability to vanish to a place just out of sight has grown: she can now disappear so completely that it s like stepping into another world. It s a fiery, hellish world, filled with creatures who seem to recognize her and count her as one of their own. So . . . is Julia a girl with a monster lurking inside her? Or a monster wearing the disguise of a girl? If she can use her monstrous power to save Theo, does it matter? In this riveting second book in the Witch s Child trilogy, Catherine Egan goes deep within the heart of a fierce, defiant girl trying to discover not just who but what she truly is. Praise for Julia Vanishes: Egan s debut novel sparkles. A beautifully rendered world and exquisite sense of timing ensure a page-turning experience. Publishers Weekly, starred review Readers will find themselves immediately immersed in the narrative and invested in the fate of Julia, who is both feisty and flawed. Booklist, starred review Julia s a wonderful, fully realized heroine. . . . For those readers waiting for the sequel to Marie Lu s The Rose Society, a well-realized page-turner in the same vein.

mangokittty @TricksyTails the only thing that stinks is that they‘re not microwave safe. 7y
TricksyTails 👎 I take forever to get through my drinks and need to constantly reheat. They're so cute it might be worth the lukewarm drink though 😆 7y
mangokittty @TricksyTails I know what you mean. I don‘t like my drinks hot or cold, so I try to drink them fast during the sweet spot of luke warm. 7y

This is what our reviewer had to say about #JuliaDefiant the sequel to last year's #JuliaVanishes by @bycatherineegan "I would recommend JULIA DEFIANT to fans of classic fantasy. With the slower pace, it can be hard for it to keep up with some of the popular series today, but [it] is definitely rewarding."
