It's too hot out and most of Tumblr is already in "how long til October" mode, but Summer can be spooky season too!

Empty Smiles by Katherine Arden: middle grade horror, fourth in chilling and intensely atmospheric Small Spaces quartet.

The Lake House by Sarah Beth Durst: creepy and suspenseful YA wilderness survival story about three girls who arrive at an off-the-grid summer camp only to find no one left alive -- except whatever is hunting them.

The Devouring Wolf, by Natalie C. Parker: coming-of-age adventure featuring terrifying legends come to life, friends, foes, and queer werewolf kids.

The Honeys, by Ryan La Sala: sun-drenched summer horror set at the elite, bucolic Aspen Summer Conservancy Academy, where Mars knows he'll never fit in -- but which may explain his sister's death. Psychological suspense, toxic traditions, complex friendships, bees.

Bone Gap, by Laura Ruby: lyrical and haunting combination of science and myth, magic and realism, beauty and rage. In a town where people sometimes slip through the gaps, no one asks too many questions when Roza disappears. Nobody except Finn, who knows she was taken -- but who can't describe the man who took her. And there are more bees.

Camp Sylvania by Julie Murphy: body shaming isn't the only horror awaiting Maggie Hagen at summer "fat camp." Spooky, hilarious, heartfelt middle grade.

The Devouring Wolf by Natalie C. Parker

Today's sapphic book of the day is The Devouring Wolf by Natalie C. Parker!

Summary: "A queer tale about kid werewolves, big bad mistakes, and terrifying creatures in Natalie C. Parker's exciting middle grade debut.

Little wolf, little wolf, here I come.

They say that the Devouring Wolf isn’t real, just an old legend, a giant creature who consumes the magic inside young werewolves. The elders tell the tale to scare young pups into obedience. It’s a spooky campfire story for fledging wolves. Or is it?

It's the eve of the first full moon of summer, and twelve-year-old Riley Callahan is ready. This is the year she will finally turn into a wolf. She has to—no one transforms after twelve.

Nothing can ruin her mood: not her little brother Milo's teasing, not mama N’s smothering, and not even her other mom C’s absence from their pack's ceremony. But then the unthinkable happens—something that violates every rule of wolf magic: Riley doesn't shift.

Along with the four other kids who somehow didn't transform, Riley is left with questions that even the pack leaders don't have answers to. And to make matters far worse, it appears something was awoken in the woods that same night. A creature with an insatiable hunger . . . has the Devouring Wolf been awakened?"

We fall into silence. Any way I turn, I cut myself on things I want to say and hear, each of them too awkward to ask.

I’m hoping the next anthology book Zoraida and Natalie work on in the Untold Legends series is about werewolves. There’s so much you can play around with using werewolves or just werebeasts in general.

Sapphic main character with two moms; trans girl side character; nonbinary side character; biracial Black/white side character; Latina side character

#i enjoyed reading a werewolf book that was about the community/family of a pack #due to the plot there is not a whole of actual werewolf content tho #liked how queer is was that's always nice to see in a mg novel #the ending did wrap up rather fast but again it is a middle grade novel #this is the first in a duology so i will probably track down the sequel #the devouring wolf #natalie c parker #2023 reads #lulu speaks #lulu reads the devouring wolf #books

NetGalley Update | 29th May

Read:

Evocation: I loved the haunted, beautiful writing of Dowry Of Blood so you can imagine my disappointment not to find it here. This was an early DNF.

When Among Crows: I pre-ordered this for the beautiful gold tones and the gold sprayed edges. And it's ORANGE. Anyway, I also DNF'd this because I got confused somewhere around the vampire boxing match and then there was a singing banshee? idk.

New:

Come Out, Come Out: An absolutely genius title, this is about a group of Queer teens and an incident where one of them, Mallory, didn't make it home. Years later, living straight, cisgender lives, Mallory reappears and they start to remember who they really are, and what happened that night.

June Reading Wrap-Up

I ended up reading 10 books this month. Definitely more than I would have expected if you asked me on June 1st. It does help that I listened to four audiobooks over the course of as many days.

Every book I read this month (except The Way of the Househusband) was queer. I read queer year round, but I always pay special attention to make sure my #PrideMonth reads are especially queer.

What was your favorite book this month?

Books read:

• Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu

• The Way of the Househusband vol 8 by Kousuke Oono

• Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

• Stealing a Thief’s Heart by C.L. Cattano

• The Devouring Wolf by Natalie C. Parker

• The Princess and the Grilled Cheese by Deya Muniz

• The Witch King by H.E. Edgmon (reread)

• The Fae Keeper by H.E. Edgmon

• My Dear Henry by Kalynn Bayron

• Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee

[G]rowing up happens in little surges. We grow up in moments—when we encounter such stupidities in ourselves that our only choice is to grow past them or into them. Maybe that's why some kids grow up too fast and others not at all.

Quick Review: Vampires Never Get Old (ed.) by Zoraida Córdova & Natalie C Parker Rating: 3.5/5

“Congrats! Mubarak! Badhaaee ho! You’re a vampire now. Welcome to the afterlife!”

This anthology was a lot of fun! Each story is so creative and there are some wonderful diverse perspectives included. My favourite story was definitely "In Kind" by Kayla Whaley where a disabled girl enlists the help of a vampire after her father tries to murder her instead of continuing to take care of her. An excellent read for any fans of our fanged friends.
