Sapphic Cozy Fantasy Delight

One of the standout titles this week is "We Were the Universe" by Kimberly King Parsons.

What was meant to be a refreshing vacation with her best friend evolves into an existential crisis, propelling Kit towards fantasies of disrupting her monotonous life. This compelling story touches on themes of grief, friendship, and the complexities of motherhood.

“A story that navigates the labyrinth of loss and the yearning for a new beginning.”

Gothic Fiction with a Sapphic Twist

If gothic historical fiction piques your interest, then "Spitting Gold" by Carmella Lowkis is a must-read. In this gripping tale set in a world of deception, the once fake spirit medium, Baroness Sylvie Devereux, finds herself drawn into a final con to support her sick father, thanks to the reappearance of her disowned sister, Charlotte. The tension between reality and illusion adds a thrilling layer to this already riveting narrative.
