Creepy, unique, and mind-altering. Deadstream is a mix of mystery and paranormal done in a mixed media style of writing. I enjoyed this book so much and feel like it touched on really important topics and philosophical ideas. Open the door 🚪

Okay....I was literally bored the whole book, but THAT ENDING. Excuse me. You cannot pull a freaking twist like that. Rude. Now I'm sucked in. 🙃

I don't know what this says about me, but I loved this book and this whole series. It's dark and twisted and absolutely hilarious. This dark rom-com is the perfect laid-back reading material for those who have a very dark sense of humor.

For fans of "Blood Over Bright Haven" and "Babel," The Otherwhere Post brings to the table a unique magic system involving language, writing, and words. The world building is rich and imaginative. This story will have you hanging off every last sentence as we follow our main character who has lost everything: her family, her past, and even her name.

Slow start, then builds. Snow White reimagined. What happens after 2p years of slumber when her kingdom is in ruin by Blight? It gave very "Annihilation" and "Wilder Girls" vibes. If those books were your thing, you'd enjoy this.

Set in the 80s + hot ghost + ancient Egyptian mythology. It's like you put all my favorite things I hyperfixate on in one place. Loved it. Need book 2 now. 🥰🥰🥰
