ALL THE NEWS - plus a very naughty joke at the end.

There's so much news to share this week, so I'll get right down to it!

First of all: Starting tomorrow (June 1st), Book of Matches Media is hosting a group read-along (a.k.a. a big, fancy, virtual book club) of Inked! So if you haven't read it, are looking to re-read, or just want to be part of a super fun experience, come join us on Discord! I'll be there all month, answering questions and offering exclusive insights into the Gilded Blood series. I can't wait to hang out with all of you!

The second piece of exciting news is that ALL SIGNED BOOKS ARE BACK IN STOCK! Thank you so much for your continued patience as I've repeatedly sold out of titles these past few weeks 😓 To help make up for that, please feel free to use TLC10 at checkout for 10% off all books (including all deluxe color editions and the Lightning Conjurer omnibus), plus free next-day shipping.

Lastly, for those of you who don't know, I help run Indie Fantasy Addicts - an 8,000-strong group of voracious readers and fantasy lovers. And this June 21st marks our biggest event of the year: the Summer Reading Challenge! Basically, you spend the summer reading books and making friends, but with the extra added bonus of scoring prizes, signed books, and cash! If you aren't already a member of IFA, come join us! And then sign up for my SRC reading team, Malevolent Mermaids, which I'm co-leading with urban fantasy authors Heather G Harris, Lauretta Hignette, and Megan Haskell!😱 It's going to be a blast!

Paired with the growing list of conventions and signing events I'll be attending, this summer is shaping up to be one hell of a party! I can't wait to see you all!

PS - for those degenerates who stayed for the "very naughty" joke at the end, here it is:

What’s a four-letter word that ends in “k” and means the same as intercourse?

❤️ 🧡 💛 NEW RELEASE💚 💙 💜

Synced is finally here, and the early reviews* are already bringing me to tears 🥹

I've poured my heart and soul into the Gilded Blood series - particularly this, the finale. I've agonized over Talia and Zayn's relationship, their character growth (both individually and as a couple), and the hard-fought ending I knew they deserved. And I was ready to hold off the release as long as I needed to ensure they - and you - got the ending all of you deserve. Luckily, Talia's spirit flew from my fingers to the page, resulting in the longest, most epic book of the series being written in the shortest amount of time.

In the end, I have never felt so proud of a finished book, nor so anxious for you to read it. And I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that you will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

By the way - for those of you who haven't yet read the first 3 books, I'm running a series sale all week long! Additionally, this week only, you can get 20% off the first three books (and free shipping) through my shop! If you've been eyeing those signed deluxe color editions, now's the time to grab them!

Thank you so very much for your support. I cannot wait to hear what you think of Talia, Zayn, Biscuit, Mavros, and Dee-Dee's final adventure! ❤️Rachel

❤️ 🧡 💛 *EARLY REVIEWS 💚 💙 💜

"Wowzers!! I am in awe of this last book in the series, what a mind blowing finale! Can I give it more than 5 stars??!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Mel W.

"Synced is the sequel (and finale) we have all been anxiously waiting for and Rachel Rener delivers! Few books have put me so close on the edge of my reading chair as this one!+ (Bonus Star for this book standing out as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!)" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Jessica L.

"[Talia and Zayn's] journey was MOST unexpected. My golly did I shriek out a few times! Some shrieks were in terror, some in dread, others in pain and tears, yet others in pure joy! Magnificently, earth-shatteringly, mind-bogglingly bloody awesome!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Beba A.

"You will laugh, cry, scream in rage, scream in happiness all while reading one of the most amazing story/series. Seriously, I am so incredibly sad right now as this is the last book in the series. But, I absolutely loved it and couldn't put it down. Just to prolong it I would set it down but not even a minute later I had to pick it back up." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Darcy S.

"This series is a work of art. If you haven't read it yet, just do yourself a favor and grab it now. You can thank me later." - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Marie R.

"Rachel Rener is, as far as I’m concerned, a master chef of words and wonder. She mixes action, humor, romance, love, drama, and a perfect amount of heat to bring this series to an end with a book that is as good, maybe, even better than the first three." - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Raven and Chris
