Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week!
Let’s hear it for ANOTHER gorgeous Angry Robot cover reveal:
Daisy’s starting a new job and stylish city life, but mage-hunters out for her dark magic threaten to destroy her vogue image.Ā
In the flourishing metropolis of Soot City (a warped version of 1920s Chicago), progressive ideals reign and the old ways of magic and liquid mana are forbidden. Daisy Dell is a Modern Girl – stylish, educated and independent – keen to establish herself in the city but reluctant to give up the taboo magic inherited from her grandmother.
Her new job takes her to unexpected places, and she gets more attention than she had hoped for. When bounty hunters start combing the city for magicians, Daisy must decide whether to stay with her new employer – even if it means revealing the grim source of her occult powers.
Moonshine by Jasmine Gower. Releases in February 2018 from Angry Robot. The cover is by artist Jonathan Coulthart, who’s also done a few other Angry Robot covers. I’ve read several books dealing with the Roaring Twenties and magical alcohol, so I’m really looking forward to this, and I think the Art Nouveau cover design fits perfectly with the story blurb!
Interesting cover and very catchy. Sound interesting. Have you read “A Criminal Magic?” I love the book so much and am always looking for more like it although it will always be one of my faves.

Yes! I really enjoyed A Criminal Magic, and that’s what this reminds me of in a way.
I love that cover and it sounds like it will be an awesome read! I am definitely adding this one to my wish list. Thanks for sharing!
It does sound good, and you can’t beat the cover, so it’s a win-win:-D
I agree, mixing magic with the Prohibition Era is a rather intoxicating combination. š I really enjoyed Lee Kelly’s A Criminal Magic, which had a similar premise, so I’ll be interested in hearing your thoughts on this one if you have a chance to review it!
That’s the book I was thinking of too, when I saw this. I think it worked well, hopefully this will too:-D
On a not-so-related note: I saw your Instagram photo with Tom Hanks!! How did that happen?
LOL! I wasn’t there, it was my daughter and some kids in her choir. They were actually on a TV show last week called XQ Super School, and Tom Hanks was one of the celebrities. He was totally cool and super nice to the kids and took that selfie with them. Plus my daughter got to be on stage with DJ Khaled for about 5 minutes. It was pretty cool!
I love the cover to this one:)). Thank you for sharing Tammy!

It’s beautiful, and I would totally put the artwork on my wall!
That is an amazing cover, no doubt! Go Angry Robot!! And the Roaring Twenties era- this might be one I need to get.

It is awesome, right?
Angry Robot is really killing it with their covers lately! This was another one with a story premise I wasn’t quite sure about, but can’t deny I was super impressed by the cover!

Yep, the cover is what grabbed me. I think the story could be good too:-)
That cover is gorgeous! As is the plot, of course! Great find, Tammy!
Thanks Verushka, I definitely want this book sitting on my shelf
Magic and the Roaring Twenties… sounds like an amazing combination! š
Thanks for sharing!

Wow, Angry Robot killing it on covers. Love the sound of this one!

i love the setting for this one – not a lot of books set in the era and so I tend to find myself intrigued when I do come across a book – plus, that cover would certainly grab anyone’s attention wouldn’t it.

This looks absolutely gorgeous! Is this the same artist who drew the cover for Under the Pendulum Sun? That one’s beautiful too. You know how much I love historical fantasy, so clearly I need this in my life.

Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s the same artist. I’m a huge fan of his after seeing what he’s done in the book world lately!
Wow! Everything about this looks/sounds wonderful!
