Posts about this title from Death by TBR Books
I shared a post on Instagram recently but wanted to give even more book recs on here for Pocahontas characters and the reasons I chose each one.
THOMAS
- The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling & Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid
Both stories center control, repression, and systems that look orderly on the surface but are quietly rotting underneath. That tension between logic and something deeply wrong mirrors Thomas perfectly.
KOCOUM
- Never Whistle at Night: Back for Blood & Bad Cree by Jessica Johns
These both ground horror in ancestry, land, and generational memory. Together, they reflect Kocoum’s connection to community and the idea that the past is never truly separate from the present.
JOHN
- The Hacienda by Isabel Canas & The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell
Both books trap their characters in controlled, domestic spaces that slowly turn hostile. That loss of authority in the face of something supernatural lines up with John’s need for certainty.
RATCLIFFE
- Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin & The Violence by Delilah S. Dawson
These are both brutal, society-breaking narratives where survival requires adaptation to constant violence. They match Ratcliffe’s world, where chaos isn’t an anomaly, it’s the baseline.
FLIT
- Maeve Fly by CJ Leede & A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers
Both lean into indulgence, performance, and female rage with a sharp, self-aware edge. That mix of chaos and control fits Flit’s unpredictable, almost theatrical energy.
MEEKO
- Nothing Tastes As Good by Luke Dumas & Bloom by Delilah S. Dawson
These stories start soft and intimate before shifting into obsession and transformation. That progression mirrors Meeko’s curiosity and loyalty evolving into something more complicated.
PERCY
- Diavola by Jennifer Thorne + Rouge by Mona Awad
Both focus on vanity, image, and identity unraveling under pressure. They reflect Percy’s arc from surface-level entitlement to a more self-aware, fractured perspective.
POCAHONTAS
- White Horse by Erika T. Wurth + Shutter by Ramona Emerson
These both center cultural memory, spiritual responsibility, and connection to land. Together, they align with Pocahontas’s role as someone who carries history rather than escapes it.
I'm definitely going to do more of these types of posts. Everyone has their own niche on Instagram and I think since I love watching and reading so much it's a great way to combine the two. Also, the books for each character are readalikes so generally if you like one you'll like the other.
