(Forgot to add The Epic of Gilgamesh to the stack, but I guess that’s why I’m not a bookstagrammer.)….knee-deep in ancient Mesopotamian research for my current fantasy WIP.

"Well this is definitely the first YA fantasy romance I've ever read that references Romans 7 in the final chapter.

“She hated colds. There was nothing romantic about them. Fainting spells were dramatic, life-threatening illnesses were interesting, and a handsome prince could always rescue you in the case of a twisted ankle, but all colds produced were puffy eyes and a red nose.”

“You’re dead,” Amyot said, bearing down upon Benedict.
Benedict flashed an exhausted grin. “I don’t think Death likes me,” he said breathlessly. “We keep running in to each other before deciding to go our separate ways.”
