From the Sunday Times bestselling author of B&N's best books of 2022 A Dowry of Blood, comes a spellbinding and vibrant new series.

The Devil knows your name, David Aristarkhov. As a teen, David Aristarkhov was a psychic prodigy, operating under the shadow of his oppressive occultist father. Now, years after his father’s death and rapidly approaching his thirtieth birthday, he is content with the high-powered life he’s curated as a Boston attorney, moonlighting as a powerful medium for his secret society.

But with power comes a price, and the Devil has come to collect on an ancestral deal. David’s days are numbered, and death looms at his door.

Reluctantly, he reaches out to the only person he’s ever trusted, his ex-boyfriend and secret society rival Rhys, for help. However, the only way to get to Rhys is through his wife, Moira. Thrust into each other’s care, emotions once buried deep resurface, and the trio race to figure out their feelings for one another before the Devil steals David away for good…

Trigger warnings for discussions of addiction and withdrawal.\ \ Hi there Disco Dancers,\ \ As it’s Disability Pride Month, I’ve been reflecting on conditions that don’t get a huge amount of rep. While addiction isn’t necessarily a disability, it did pop into my mind. I’m 5 years sober and clean, and I love it when I come across books that represent this experience well.\ \ Here are 3 of my faves:\ \ The Final Strife by Saara el-Arifi.\ \ \ \ In this African and Arabian-inspired fantasy, a queer woman from a downtrodden class has trained her whole life to overthrow the ruling, oppressive regime. When the plan sets in motion, however, she finds all is not as she’d been led to believe.\ \ The FMC in this series has an addiction to a kind of seed, and goes through periods of withdrawal and suffers a lot because of it. It was a hard read occasionally, but I felt it was treated sensitively, and she is never magically cured. Even when she is weaned off the drug, she has to put work in to maintain her health. It’s a great aspect to a well rounded character.\ \ Evocation by ST Gibson\ \ \ \ This is a polyamorous occult romance between a sorcerer, a medium and a witch. The medium is a wealthy man in his mid-twenties, a sober alcoholic, who reconnects with his ex-boyfriend, the sorcerer, who knew him when he was drinking. Occasionally they have flashbacks to those times, and we see how it put a strain on their relationship, and the love and support that they show each other through all of it.\ \ I felt it was a good depiction of how sobriety doesn’t magically make the past go away, and how people can grow and heal together.\ \ A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall\ \ \ \ In this historical romance, a trans woman reconnects with her ex best friend who knew her when she presented as a man, and now believes she died in battle. Her best friend is now wounded, depressed, grieving, and struggling with a laudanum addiction.\ \ I’ll admit, this book did take me a while to get into because I thought the initial set up was unfair to the best friend, but I absolutely loved it by the end. And the intersection of addiction, pain management and depression was represented well.\ \ Much love, take care,\ \ Disco x\ \ Upgrade for $5 or login

🕯️ October Hopefuls 🕯️

Yes, I read gothic and dark academia fiction all year round, but that doesn’t stop me from building a special October TBR. Here are 7 books I’ve been saving specifically for spooky season, including a very Strange Beasts from my favorite little publisher, @bindery_books and @theinkyphoenix, which comes out in just a few short weeks!

Which one should I read first and what’s on your October TBR?
