Hey awesome,

I know this is a little late, but that's totally on purpose because: today is RELEASE DAY!!!

Ally is live and in the world, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. Several early readers have yelled at us for making them tear up in public places, and at least one meant to put it down but ended up staying up until 4 a.m. to finish it, so ...you've been warned?

Seriously though, the ARC recipients have been enthusiastic and that's tamped down my nerves a bit. Kacey and I are so proud of what we've done, and I really hope you check it out and enjoy the heck out of it.

Ally is available now at the usual place. What can you expect, beyond an emotion or five?

"It's better to die free than to live a slave."

When the Mercenary Guild tried to bend the galaxy's deadliest assassins to their will, the Depik shocked the galaxy by choosing mass suicide to enslavement. Only those Depik not present on their home planet of Khatash survived to retreat to the shadows, to plan, to form alliances, to rebuild and look forward to the day when they could retake their home from the Veetanho invaders and exact revenge.

That day has finally come. And this time, the Depik do not stand alone.

While this is not the end of Hunters in the 4HU, it is the close of the 3-book arc Kacey and I planned. We'll be sure to let you know what's next - I'm more than happy to tease we have some really fun stuff in the works behind the scenes.

That's all from me for now - I'm in the homestretch of my Hit World kickoff with Bill Webb, and combining holidays, time with amazing family, and aggressive writing goals is...an adventure. So back to that with me. In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful weekend - hopefully full of great reading!

Til next time,

Marisa
