Last chance to get the preorder goodies!
Hello, friends!
Less than one week to go for DAWNBREAKER! So according to the Rule of Seven, it’s time for me to tell you about my book again. Here’s a PR/Article of Interest:
interviewed me here! We talked about rejection, writing spaces, and what I’d be if I weren’t a writer.If you haven’t sent in for your DAWNBREAKER pin yet, this is the last call! Here’s how to get one:
How to enter:
Preorder DAWNBREAKER
Fill out the form and email marketing@holidayhouse.com with your receipt and mailing address (US only)
That’s it! It’s two steps! But you should move quickly, because they are only sending out 50 of these packages and I don’t know how many have already been claimed.

Now, according to the various Rule of Seven articles, I should make myself look really popular and smart with word-of-mouth from friends/colleagues. So here’s a nice graphic my publisher made with Kirkus’s review for DAWNBREAKER. And below that you can see reviews and blurbs (from some of your favorite authors!) for NIGHTRENDER.
What the reviews are saying:
★ “Carefully plotted. . . sprinkled with tantalizing clues for secrets yet to be revealed. The devastating cliffhanger will leave readers eager for the second book of this dark fantasy duology.” —BCCB (starred review)
“Action and court intrigue fuel the pace of this duology-opening fantasy from Meadows. . . ." —Publishers Weekly
"The worldbuilding is rich. . . . Will reward Meadows’ fans and entice them to return for the sequel." —Kirkus Reviews
What other authors are saying:
An astoundingly creative new world populated by characters readers will fall in love with from a master of the fantasy genre. I loved every page!
—Lisa Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Magician
"A vividly imagined fantasy as awe-inspiring as Nightrender herself. A gripping adventure that fascinates as well as entertains. Thought-provoking and powerful. Jodi Meadows is a master storyteller!”
—Kathryn Purdie, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bone Crier’s Moon
“After reading just a single chapter of Nightrender, I knew it was something special. Jodi Meadows’ latest fantasy will suck you in as steadily as the Malice leaks into the world of Salvation and then hold you captive until the very last page. With cunning charcters, epic stakes, and stunning worldbuilding, this novel is not to be missed. Utterly enthralling.”
—Erin Bowman, Edgar Award—nominated author of Dustborn and Vengeance Road
“Exquisitely crafted and endlessly fascinating, like the Nightrender’s black-glass wings.”
—Pintip Dunn, bestselling author of Star-Crossed and Malice
“If you’re looking for a unique read, you need to pick up Nightrender! Not only does this book stand out in a crowded market, it also has some of my favorite character tropes. Immortal protagonist? Check. Morally gray protagonist? Check. Sweet cinnamon roll hero? Check. Jodi Meadows’ latest is a character-driven fantasy full of political intrigue, monsters, and fight scenes that will make you forget you’re reading a book in the first place.”
—Tricia Levenseller, Publishers Weekly bestselling author of The Shadows Between Us
“Jodi Meadows weaves a spellbinding tale of warring kingdoms, political intrigue, breathless action, and forbidden magic, but her complex characters are the real standout. Reaching the last page, I didn’t want to let the Nightrender go.”
—Kathleen Peacock, author of Globe 100 Book You were Never Here
"NIGHTRENDER is a story as dark and sharp as an obsidian sword. Gods and monsters, heroes and hellish creatures clash in this sweeping epic fantasy, where danger lurks around every corner and evil is in the very fabric of the world."
—Nicki Pau Preto, author of Crown of Feathers
Okay, that’s it for now! I hope you have a great almost-weekend and get lots of reading time.
And if you made it this far, I have a survey for newsletter subscribers going. This won’t be the only time I mention it, obviously, but just fill it out once, if you feel like answering some questions.
Congrats Jodie! Can't wait to read!
