The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

The scream that brought them together

The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

December 28, 2025 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I’m completing my quarter cannonball with The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill. The novel is a book within a book. Hannah is writing a mystery focused on Freddie, an Australian woman on a writing fellowship in Boston. She meets three strangers in the Boston library reading room: Cain, a fellow writer and handsome, Walt, a rich law student with no work ethic, and Marigold, a goth-esque psychology student. They hear a blood-curdling scream like someone being murdered…but no body is found. That is, […]

Fangs by Sarah Andersen featuring a red cover and a vampire dressed in black goth style bat wing dress

Goth love

Fangs by Sarah Andersen

December 27, 2025 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Fangs by Sarah Andersen chronicles a supernatural love story between Elsie the vampire and Jimmy the werewolf. The graphic novel is a series of comic vignettes with a loose linear progression of their relationship. They awkwardly meet and discover they both have “fangs” in common. This was both funny and sweet. They may be monsters, but they’re super relatable. Eventually, they move in together and learn each other’s unique quirks. She can’t be in direct sunlight, a natural goth. He turns into a wolf when […]

A Man for Mrs. Claus by Rebekah Weatherspoon

It’s all about Mrs. Claus

A Man for Mrs. Claus by Rebekah Weatherspoon

December 27, 2025 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I needed to get into the holiday spirit, and A Man for Mrs. Claus by Rebekah Weatherspoon did the trick. Even though I’m recovering from surgery, I also wanted to read along with The Ripped Bodice LA fantasy book club. This was their December pick, and I was able to snag the Cover Snob special edition. This North Pole Santa-verse finds angels recruiting souls to bring holiday cheer. We meet Tiffany, aka Mrs. Claus, saying goodbye to her current Santa Claus husband. He’s moved on […]
