Preparing to sell our home and move to Atlanta! Know anybody who wants to buy a house in the city Town & Leisure called, “the number 1 city people want to move to in 2025”?
When I read the title - and saw the cover art - of Mothman Is My Boyfriend by McCayla Coyle, I thought I’d be reading a cute, breezy, potentially clever light romantasy - like a G-rated version of one of Chuck Tingle’s infamous cryptid eroticas.
This is not that.
Sarafina is the fourth book I have read by Philip Fracassi, and it is definitely my favorite so far. Unlike many from my part of the United States (the "South"), I have never been a big Civil War buff, but the promise of supernatural witchiness encouraged me to read this, and now I encourage you to do so.
We Call Them Witches by India-Rose Bower is an interesting mix of post-apocalyptic coming-of-age story with pagan mythology and a touch of romance.

During a live punk-rock New Year's Eve TV programme, the presenter gets a phone call from a psycho calling himself "Evil" saying that when New Year's strikes in each US time zone, he will murder someone.
A group of three friends on a snowmobiling trip find themselves stranded at an abandoned lodge isolated in the mountains. They discover that an old woman resides in the hotel, along with an evil entity that she is keeping in the basement.
Six young adults struggle with their personal demons while staying at a secluded mansion during a dark and stormy night where a seemingly innocent game of 'taboo' brings out their inter-most secrets which soon leads to murder.
