JANUARY 26th - Nobody Like Us is coming! Pre-order now available. Initially, we planned for this one to come out mid-January, but it's so much longer than we expected that we wanted a bit of cushion in case we need extra weeks of editing.

✨ The Cover Reveal and Blurb for Nobody Like Us are still to come! 💖🥤🦅💫🎄

And you've now learned the title of the FIRST book in the Cobalt Empire series! It's called BURN BRIGHT -- and we'll be revealing this gorgeous cover in the back of Nobody Like Us! You'll also learn which Cobalt is the main POV for Book 1.

Thank you for all the love & support surrounding these families and this saga!! It means so much that you're all here and hyped on what's to come with us. BEST FEELINGS!! (Also, we're trying our best not to cry because this really is so emotional for us in so many ways. We're pretty sure we'll be tearing up on the Extra Podcast this month.) *hugs all around* *clinks fizz sodas*

All the love in every universe,

Krista & Becca

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

THIS IS SO, SO EXCITING !!! 🩷🩷 I have absolutely no idea how I’m going to make it through Nobody Like Us!! Luna and Donnelly are two of my favorite characters and I know I’m going to crumble when their story is over !! AHHHHH!! Cobalt Empire confirmation 🥳🩷🥳🩷🥳. I’m OBSESSED with the title and the “Love Burns Hottest When It’s Blue” is going to send me to an early grave 😭

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I’m crying because it really is the end of the era 🥹😭 But when one stops another starts!!!! I’m sooo excited for Cobalt Empire and can’t wait to hear all about what’s coming next for you guys and all of us!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou for giving us this gift of continuing with the characters we have grown to love and want more of! You could have easily stopped after NLU but not only do you have more stories to tell and want to stay with these characters you created and adore but you listen to your readers and have heard our unconditional love for ALL things Hales, Meadows, and Cobalts (and the Abbeys too!!) Cobalt Empire, we’re ready for you to burn your brightest because we already bleed blue 💙💙💙

Amelia

AHHH THE MOST EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!! i am SO READY for NLU and the cobalt empire series!!!!!!😍😭🩷💙

Jenn Rohrbach

So ready for all the epic-ness that’s to come!!!

shi luvs st.cobalt

I am **sobbing** over these graphics. The transition into a new chapter beginning? Gosh, my heart can’t handle all of these emotions. (TT—TT) This was such a **beautiful** way to do these announcements. I cannot thank you enough for creating these worlds & these characters that mean so much to me. It is bittersweet to see the LU chapter coming to a close, but I am excited to continue onto the next chapter with you all. XOXO, Shi 🤎✨

Ellieeeee

OHHH MYYYY GODDDDD IM SCREAMINGGGGGG

Sarah E. Green

Tell me why this has me crying?! I’m so excited for all things KBR in the new year!!!

Ellieeeee

I recon Beckett or Eliot 🤭

Bella Stanley

THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING NEWS!!! Christmas came early 🎄🎁📖💙🔥

Zeynep

I read this post maybe 5 times hold on

Abby (Eliot’s version)

And I called Cobalt Empire YEARS ago!! Legit told my friend when she started reading Like Us 4 years ago - “you have 10 of the parents and 5 of the kids, so far, but there’s going to be more in Like Us cause I know Sulli and Luna will have books too but prepare yourself cause I can see another series after that’ll focus on the Cobalts since there’s so many of them and they can even call it Cobalt Empire since that’s how they are referred to as in the books… it’s be perfect which I bet money the twins already know and have mapped out what each book looks like!” I WAS RIGHT 💙🥰🎉

Virginia Emmel

OMG!! I’m SO excited for both of these books!! I’m so emotional that the Like Us series is ending, but so happy we get a Cobalt Empire series! Can’t wait!!!💖💙

Sarah

I have my bets on Elliot. I think they said something about not doing the twins first, at least not Charlie, so Elliot is the next. He also loves fire so…

Mary

Sitting on the couch crying screaming!!!!

Isabella

OMGGGGGGGGGG. I AM SO EXCITED😭😭😭😭

kj Lewis

We can stay friends!! We were going to have to break-up if you ended without this! 😂

shi luvs st.cobalt

I am also looking at this line from MLU in a new light after this title reveal (👀): “Tom Carraway Cobalt has always been an ember in the dark. Eliot is the one burning and burning on fire.”

Javiera

Rachel

I CANNOT wait to read the last Like Us book, but at the same time I’m so devastated it’s the end!! 😩 I have become so attached to these characters over the past several years. I really don’t want their series to end 😭 But you ladies are so talented and I’ve been on this ride pretty much from the beginning of the Addicted Series. There’s no way I’m jumping off now because I know I’ll love whatever comes next! 💜💚🩷

“Burn bright” makes me think of the poem “tiger tiger burning bright”. It’s the name of a great poem book with amazing pictures even.

Amy Mitchell

Me too! I'm the 26th. Happy bday to us!

Kristin

I’m so excited! Thank you! 💙💙💙💙💙

Sarah

I’m guessing it’s Tom, because he wants to be a rock star and burn bright🤷🏻‍♀️ Really hoping I’m wrong and it’s Beckett & Jo.

Jadyn

aww i’m so happy and excited for y’all!! it’s so bittersweet but at least we’ll still have another series in this world! i’m excited for the cobalts series 🤍🤍

Lily💌

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

Hanna

I am so EXCITED

Lois

Has to start with Charlie, HAS TO! 🫶🤗🌟💕(Please!!)

Teresa

It it HIGHLY unlikely that the first book Main POV will be for Charlie , Krista and Becca have already said I'm podcasts that they would want the readers to see Charlie in his brothers perspective first books we get into Charlie POV. So we have 1 or 2 brothers who will get a book before Charlie.

hannah

I was just thinking about this today! It would be so fun to start with Ben - I feel like we know about him, but it would be fun to get in his head and see his brothers from his perspective. He’s the outlier!

Dawn Therrian

I was thinking Charlie too but the first may be Conner??? I vote Charlie though. As soon as nobody like us is on audible I will restart from the first addicted book and listen through. It’s my favorite way to start for a new series

Dawn Therrian

Ok so I think it might be Becket since he just lost his job.

Nikki

Does anyone know when the new series will be coming out?? I’m too excited for this
