In a small Alaska town, a boy is found with his throat ripped out and all the blood drained from his body. The inhabitants of Deadhart haven’t seen a killing like this in twenty-five years. But they know who’s responsible: a member of the Colony, an ostracized community of vampyrs living in an old mine settlement deep in the woods.

More of a murder mystery than a horror novel
Reviewed: 03-21-25
If you’re looking for bone-chilling horror, this is not the book for you. (Try Tudor’s book The Drift instead.) The Gathering is a murder mystery with spooky, paranormal elements but nothing really jumps out at you. That said, this is an excellent book. There were a few moments where the performance came off as a little shaky, but overall I had a grand time listening to this.

Misha knows that chasing success in Hollywood can be hell. But finally, after years of trying to make it, his big moment is here: an Oscar nomination. And the executives at the studio for his long-running streaming series know just the thing to kick his career to the next level: kill off the gay characters, "for the algorithm," in the upcoming season finale.

This book was a helluva wild ride! The narration was excellent, which really made the novel shine, but the writing itself was the real hero here.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Fun fluff to read quickly during a slump
Reviewed: 08-25-24
This book isn’t anything special, it was honestly a little disappointing in some ways, but it was exactly the thing I needed to get out of a reading slump.

Story5 out of 5 stars 7,210
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 181
Will is in Bristol for a brand-new start. He’s got his outrageous flatmate, Emma, his job at the bookshop and he’s totally infatuated with Gus. A French Bulldog. An actual relationship with an actual man seems about as real as the science fiction novels Will stacks on shelves all day long. And then into his life walks Ben. Ben is all the things Will isn’t: confident, charming (bordering on cocky), popular, a Jiu Jitsu champion, and generally deflecting life’s problems as easily as dodging a clumsy throw on the mat.

A really sweet palate-cleanser
Reviewed: 12-24-23
I’ve been following Alex Bertie online since we were both fourteen, and we came out as trans at the same time. Reading this newest work from him feels incredibly gratifying; he’s grown so much as a person. I read mostly dark, sad books and this was a nice palate-cleanser from my usual doom and gloom. I’m looking forward to reading more from him in the future.

Such a stunningly beautiful treasure of a book. The narrator was pretty fantastic and the characters…man, the characters. Phenomenal. I’ll be obsessed with this book until the day I die and eagerly looking forward to what Everina Maxwell has in store for us next.

Kelly Williams Brown had 700 bad days. Her marriage collapsed, she broke three limbs in separate and unrelated incidents, her father was diagnosed with cancer, and she fell into a deep depression that ended in what could delicately be referred to as a “rest cure” at an inpatient facility. Before that, she had several very good years: She wrote a best-selling book, spoke at NASA, had a beautiful wedding, and inspired hundreds of thousands of readers to live as grown-ups in an often-screwed-up world, though these accomplishments mostly just made her feel fraudulent.

Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch. There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister.
