We couldn’t have done it without you!
(If you shared or plan on sharing a post, please tag us @L2L2Publishing so we can feature you!)
We love to publish the kinds of books we love to read, that speak to us, that are great fun, or that we can’t stop thinking about. The entire Dear Hero series feels that way to our team.

Not only that, our authors are the best, and we are so pleased to have been able to publish these books by Hope Bolinger and Alyssa Roat.
We’re excited to bring you more wonderful books!
Three releases are scheduled for 2024, and we can’t wait to tell you all about them.
In the meantime, take a look at our bookstore to see if there are any titles you’d like to catch up on while we get these new books ready for you to devour.

~The L2L2 Publishing Team
Coming soon: Lena’s Privilege by Kristen Stieffel, Silence by Laura L. Zimmerman, and Quell the Nightingale by Michele Israel Harper. Which new book are you most excited about?
Dear Hades is a spinoff story from the Dear Hero and Dear Henchman duology, and it can be read without reading any other book in the series.
You can get it now from your favorite retailer, or you can scroll down to the bottom of this post to buy it directly from L2L2 Publishing.
We hope you love this fun new story as much as we do!
About the book:
7:30 PM
Persephone: You ever wanna murder a deity?
7:34 PM
Hades: . . . Let me guess, your mom?
Persephone: Wow, babe. You’re great at this game.
Rising from the Underworld into the twenty-first century may have seemed like a second chance for Medusa, but love is elusive when heroes would rather slay a monster than date her.
Disliked for his dire prophecies, blind prophet Tiresias would rather make a new life for himself than join heroes on another monster-hunting venture. Perhaps meet someone . . .
The two match on DearHades, a dating app for resurrected monsters, shades, and demigods curated by Hades and Persephone, whose fate hangs in the balance of the app’s success. No pressure.
Caught amongst meddling gods, murderous heroes, and a classic Greek bet, Medusa and Tiresias may have signed up for more than a dating profile.
You are invited to an online release party!
This party is tomorrow at 7:30 PM EST! And even better? It’s online, so anyone can join.
Hosts Alyssa Roat, Hope Bolinger, and Michele Israel Harper are excited to chat with anyone who attends and give away many of their favorite books.
See you there!
We can’t wait to hear what you think of this new release from L2L2 Publishing.
And please leave a review!
Happy reading,

Up next: Azriel news and Silence the Siren preorder goodies! (Hint: You can view them here.)
Burn is the third and final book in the Firebrand Chronicles. If you haven’t read the first two books, Spark and Flare, now is the perfect to catch up before Burn releases on May 26th!
From the back cover:
Life: 1. Brenna James: 0.
An AWOL talent, an enemy-occupied hometown, and a Life Shade boyfriend—Brenna James just wants something to go right. Although her family has been given sanctuary in Syeira, Brenna will never be safe as long as Rune is hunting down and killing Firebrands.
Can someone please wake her up already?
When a prophecy sends Brenna and Baldwin on a confusing quest, they aren’t sure where to begin. They must find the Caelestis Staff, a powerful object that both cuts and mends space itself. Rune wants it too, and he’ll use any lethal tactics necessary to obtain it.
Yeah, nightmare material right there.
A traveling oasis, plenty of man-eating mermaids, and one Skeleton King later, Brenna seriously doubts she has the edge she needs to confront Rune. When Brenna’s faced with the biggest test of her life, will she burn like the Firebrand she is? Or will she burn out?
And now for the lovely cover itself.
Thank you for joining us today, and we hope you love this gorgeous cover and wonderful new book as much as we do!
We are loving the incredibly positive responses we’ve received from endorsers, bloggers, and reviewers. We hope you love this book as much as they (and we) do!
All About Keen:
You must walk the darkness to find the light.
Half-faerie Caoine has no control over the banshee lament she sings each night, predicting the death of others. A senior in a brand new high school, she expects the same response she’s received at every other school: judgment from fellow students over her unusual eyes and unnaturally white skin and hair. However, when Caoine arrives at West Lincoln High, for the first time in her life she finds friends. Real friends.
But being a teenager is never easy, especially when the star soccer player, Oliver, sets his sights on her. Allowing him to get close means revealing her curse to the human world. She can’t let that happen. Life spins further out of control when her lament comes out during the day, those whose death she predicts die right in front of her, and a dark faerie known only as the Unseelie prince blames Caoine by leaving her the creepiest notes ever. Her curse is not supposed to work like that.
In a race against time, Caoine must uncover the Unseelie prince’s identity and stop a spell before it unleashes hell on earth, all while trying to control her banshee song and finding a place among her peers.
Senior year just got real.

Seriously such a good book. Now just a few more details before we show you that gorgeous cover.
Keen releases on Tuesday, July 9, 2019.
Keen’s blog tour will be Monday, July 1st–Friday, July 12th.
The months leading up to a new release are a crazy and busy time at L2L2 Publishing, but they are also our favorites.
After all, a new book is about to be born!
This month, we will be releasing Flare: The Firebrand Chronicles, Book Two by J.M. Hackman, the riveting sequel to Spark.
We cannot wait to share this new book with you.
From the back cover:
Brenna travels to Linneah via portal to visit her boyfriend Baldwin, only to find heartbreak. Betrayal. A serious case of never, ever wanting to see him again. Worst summer vacation ever.
So when her best friend Tiny invites her on a road trip to meet Tiny’s fiancé, Brenna jumps at the chance. Even if her mother disapproves. Even if it’s through a dangerous travel portal. Even if Tiny has never met this fiancé handpicked by her dad. Anything’s better than staying in Linneah.
But the trip disintegrates into disaster. The two friends are separated, Brenna is kidnapped, and not only are Brenna’s Firebrand skills tested to the limit, she must participate in the dangerous event, Starfall . . . or go home. Broke. Alone. With a shattered heart. Sonot fun.
And then as if that’s not bad enough? Brenna discovers a plot that could spell disaster for everyone she holds dear. And no one believes her.
Can she prevent a bloody government takeover? And what will become of Brenna’s broken heart?
(These links will be updated as the posts go live.)
We hope you will join Author J.M. Hackman as she tells you all about the world of Flare!
Facebook Release Party for Flare
And we cannot forget Flare’s online release party on Facebook! We hope you will join us.
As with our other release parties, we will have games, trivia, and tons of prizes. (Okay, mostly books or bookish prizes. That is, after all, what we love best! New books!)
We cannot wait to celebrate J.M. Hackman’s latest release with you.
Happy Reading!

What readers said about the first book in the series, Spark:
“J.M. Hackman’s Spark is a fun ride for your imagination. She weaves a sweet tale of action, adventure, and romance, sprinkled with humor that any lover of fantasy should be excited to read. Hackman crafted such a beautifully creative world that by the end of the book, you’ll want to visit the kingdom of Linneah for yourself and share in Brenna’s adventures. Great start to a wonderful new series.”
—Julie Hall, award-winning author of the Life After series
“Finally—a well-written and impossible-to-put-down YA speculative that is safe to read and can be enjoyed by all ages! Spark is the kind of story teens crave: gripping, fast-paced adventure; unpredictable twists; a strong heroine; and a touch of romance. Parents, I believe, will appreciate this new voice in clean YA speculative fiction and the morals that are presented throughout. J.M. Hackman, a talented debut author, does an excellent job at weaving in inner challenges of self-discovery that teens in our modern world understand and will identify with. Teens, you’ve been warned: expect to lose sleep over Spark!”
—Tessa Emily Hall, YA author of Purple Moon(2014 Selah Award Finalist) and Unwritten Melody
“Spark is a trip into a creative and unique fantasy world with adventurous characters and lovable mythical creatures. It’s a story for young teens—and the young teens still living inside the rest of us.”
—Kat Heckenbach, author of Finding Angel
“As a bookseller who reads bunches of books, I have rarely been so captured by an alternative reality fantasy as I was from the very first page of this marvelous new book. I was smitten with Brenna, the snarky, confident, sixteen-year-old who exhibits wit and grace (and fire—you’ll see). You will love this fun story crafted by a great writer who chooses wonderful words and colorful phrases, sometimes with stunning results. As the drama unfolds, you will learn why Hackman started Spark with the fitting line from C.S. Lewis that there are no ordinary people. Wow.”
—Byron Borger, owner of Hearts & Minds Books
About the author:
J. M. Hackman loves thunderstorms, bookstores, and happy endings. She’s never met a reading nook she didn’t like and prefers soul talk to small talk. When she’s not writing, she spends time with her two munchkins and her handsome husband who supports her in this crazy profession. Her days are filled with writing stories, consuming massive quantities of dark chocolate, and looking for portals to other worlds. You can find her at www.jmhackman.com.
We had two stunning novellas release over the Christmas holidays, and we wanted to share them with you if you haven’t already seen them.
Resistance by Amy Brock McNew is the first of three planned novellas in the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles. This book interlaces with Reconciliation, yet tells the story of Nate and Ilona instead of Liz and Ryland, and comes before the next full-length novel in this series, Resilience, to release mid-2018.
Now a little about the book itself:
Nate Vaughn lives in Ryland’s shadow, always the little brother, always the screwup. After their parents die, he embraces a world of greed and destruction. There, he is powerful, using his God-given gifts to demolish those weaker than he.
He is untouchable. He is in control. Or so he thinks.
Ilona Romenenko is a survivor. She has endured unimaginable torment at the hands of evil and remains unbroken. Her mission: to save those who suffer as she did. Yet she encases the deepest parts of her heart in steel to protect herself from further agony.
She is untouchable. She is in control. Or so she thinks.
When Nate and Ilona are called to fight side by side, their pasts collide, forcing them to face their demons and the growing feelings between them, stealing precious control. Will Nate let go of his past—and will Ilona open her heart—before their demons destroy them both?
Beast Hunter by Michele Israel Harper is the prequel novella to the soon-to-be-released Beauty and the Beast retelling, Kill the Beast. This book introduces our readers to Ro, the huntress who has been hired to sneak into an enchanted castle and kill the beast residing within. We are also planning a 2018 release date for Kill the Beast.
Here is a little more about this book as well:
Ro’s people are starving. A curse has overtaken her land, blackening the soil, wiping out crops, and bringing ruin to all. She doesn’t know what to do.
The only people who thrive are the huntsmen, brought in by the mysterious Gautier to stem the flow of ravenous creatures looking for food.
When Ro accidentally kills a wolf, an idea begins to form. Could she become a huntress? Earn enough livres to feed her family?
But her world is shattered when her father promises her to a beast in exchange for his own life. If she doesn’t go, a curse will fall on her family worse than the one destroying their land. But Ro is determined to save her family another way.
Will Ro have the courage to seek her own fate instead of the one pressed upon her?
We hope you enjoy both of these new titles and that you have a lovely new year.
Happy Reading!
