“Mooncakes is that spellbinding, magical-girl queer romance you’ve been looking for.” –Readers Digest “If Mooncakes were a spell, it would be a housewarming charm that settles with care into the softest parts of a home and makes the houseplants grow. I wish I could live inside this book.” – New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft.

Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery. 2019 Goodreads Choice Award Finalist 2019 Cybils Award Finalist2020 Hugo Award NomineeA 2020 ALA Rainbow Top Ten Book
