The Fabulous Life of Renée Ahdieh

Author Spotlight

As dedicated book lovers, we want to know everything about our favorite authors. And, well, that sometimes leads to extreme social media stalking stalking. Such is the case with Renée Ahdieh, author of the The Wrath and the Dawn and The Rose and the Dagger. Her latest book, Flame in the Mist, is coming this May, so we thought it was a good excuse as any to creep on her Instagram and see what she was up to!
