pickEvery year I add the newest Stephen Graham Jones novel to my TBR; every year I fail to read any of his work. This year I'm quite vexed with myself for failing, because the brilliance of his work is exactly what I didn't know I needed.
This was not an easy book to listen to. Jones's characters come alive on the pages in a horrifically real way, that makes you care and hate them with equal measure.

pickHorror hits different when it‘s built on real history. SGJ‘s The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is a brutal, layered reckoning with colonization, genocide, and stolen memory. Bloody, yes—but also intimate, literary, and unflinching. The vampire angle is clever, but the real horror lies in the history we‘ve whitewashed. A haunting confessional you won‘t forget. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The third book in a row by this author. I‘m enjoying his work. All ready to go tomorrow night.

The middle of this book gets bogged down (seems to maybe be a theme for Broadbent‘s second-half of a duology), but otherwise, I loved this.
The characters continued to grow, the twists continued to surprise me, and the romance continued to make me swoon.
The epilogue has me *very* interested in the final duology. Can‘t wait to see what she does with it!
A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson is Constanta's story, Dracula's first bride. 🧛♀️

pick‘This is my last love letter to you, though some would call it a confession....‘
Dark and seductive, this is a deliciously written tale of passion and deceit, and the bonds forged between the rival consorts of Dracula.
Book 1/Vampire Companion ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickAs lover of Jane Austen and member of Fictional Hangover's https://www.fictionalhangover.com/ Vampire Book Club I definitely had to read Jane and the Damned.
I think author did a good job of mixing Jane and Vampires. Love story was bit silly, but enjoyable read. I'm putting Book 2 Blood Persuasion on my December reading tbr.

pickAn absolute guilty pleasure read that I loved when it first came out. Rereading it on the beach was both addictive & made me roll my eyes. Obviously the relationships are toxic, but it‘s also incredibly entertaining. It‘s like eating a giant tub of ice cream, not great for you, but it taste good in the moment. Don‘t base your relationship goals off this book, but it‘s perfect teenage yearning vampire drama. I‘m off to read the rest of the series.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I finished this last night, and my brain is still reeling from the ending!
I thought this was a good continuation of Broadbent‘s story into a second duology, and I feel like I can see where she‘s going now with the series overall.
I am very glad the next book is out, because I need to start it immediately!
