*SPOILERS AHEAD* Although it was slow and confusing at the start, as soon as the plot picked up it did not release me from its clutches. I enjoyed getting to visit new places, and really get to spend some time with quadrants. I adored each and every "side" character and their relationships and banter.

Strange Beasts written by Susan J. Morris is everything you want for this season. Gothic, historical, 20th century France, monster hunting, slow burn romance, sapphic, shall I go on? From the first page, we are instantly transported to a society of monster hunters located in London.

I listened to Fairy Tale by Stephen King on audiobook and was instantly hooked. The first half of the novel follows Charlie Reed, a seemingly normal teenager, and Mr. Bowditch, a grumpy old man who lives at the top of a hill, as the former helps the latter recover from a fall. Charlie grows to enjoy Mr. Bowditch’s company which includes taking care of his German Shepard, Radar.
