"Ashley Bustamante's Vivid is as rich and colorful as its title suggests. The land of Magus blooms to life from page one, drawing you into an addictive world of irresistible--and forbidden--magic. I simply couldn't put it down. Readers will swoon over this fantastical debut." -- Sara Ella, award-winning author of the Unblemished trilogy and Coral--Sara Ella

"Captivating. Ashley Bustamante expertly draws the reader into the Magus world where Red and Blue magic thrive and Yellow magic is outlawed. Vivid felt like reading a fresh new take on a dystopian society and something akin to The Story Peddler's magic. If that isn't enough, the relationship between Ava and Elm kept me flipping pages for more." -- Candice Pedraza Yamnitz, author of Unbetrothed--Candice Pedraza Yamnitz

"I was swept away in the magical world of Vivid. This rich fantasy is bursting with romance, mystery, and characters both dark and delightful. Strikingly original, Vivid is a story that you'll remember long after you close the book." -- Jessica Arnold, author of The Looking Glass and The Lingering Grace--Jessica Arnold

"Vivid is exactly the magical read I was looking for! It's an exquisite story with unforgettable characters, and I cannot wait for more in this series!" -- S.D. Grimm, author of Children of the Blood Moon series and A Dragon By Any Other Name--S.D. Grimm

This first book in a new series is focused on worldbuilding...compelling magical fare for early teens. Innocent romance...and the hint of a battle to come will hook readers for the next installment. -- "Kirkus Reviews"
