Burden Falls by Kat Ellis

"'But maybe ghosts aren't quite what people think they are, not trapped spirits or anything like that. I see them more as … scars.' 'Scars?' 'Hmm … like a mark left on a place by some traumatic event. And maybe they only become visible when that same kind of trauma-energy occurs in the same spot.'"

Year Read: 2024

Rating: 3/5

About: A year ago, Ava Thorn's parents were killed in a tragic car accident, and now she and her Uncle Ty are being forced to move out of the family's manor. Worst of all, the Millers are moving in, a rich family with generations of bad blood with the Thorns. When one of her classmates turns up dead and missing their eyes, there are whispers of Dead-Eyed Sadie, the local urban legend, but it's Ava who turns out to be the police's prime suspect. Trigger warnings: parent/child death, car accident, drowning, fire, eye horror, drugging, bullying, threats.

Thoughts: The beginning of this book is brutally depressing: dead parents, horrific car accident, loss of childhood home, bullying, poverty. Ava's troubles just go on and on, and they're all awful, real-world problems rather than escapist horror ones. I struggled through the first hundred pages while I waited for things to get going. I don't know that the gloom ever lifted, and maybe that's a sign I'm aging out of the genre. Instead of being scared of the legend of Dead-Eyed Sadie, I was mostly just sad for these kids dying so young.

Ellis's urban legend is a lot of fun, and there's quite a bit of mystery and backstory behind Sadie. I enjoyed it, but I don't know that I ever believed it was real. If the book attempts to walk the line between supernatural and human killers (and I'm not positive that it does), it doesn't do it very well, and I was always looking for a human suspect. Ava's development is decent, largely fueled by her enemies-to-lovers arc with Dominic Miller, and I enjoyed their page-time together probably more than anything else. The reveal is a bit weird, but there's some nice tension at the end, and I was satisfied with the way it all turned out. A step down from Harrow Lake, but not a bad read altogether.

November 2024 TBR

Hello friends!! Welcome to my November 2024 TBR. A post where I will attempt to take my best guess at what I will feel like reading for the upcoming month. I don’t know about anyone else. But now that we only have two months left of the year, I am starting to panic hardcore about my 2024 reading challenges. Like, it’s totally not going to happen. And that’s ok. I mean, some of them will. Some of…

Latest haul!

I went to my local book store yesterday and thought I’d share what I got. I went through the bargain section, of course, so about half of the books on the list came from the bargain section. The others were found just while I was browsing the rest of the store. I could pretty much live at the book store if I had endless money………..

Read of Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis (2020) (299pgs)

[thebookishcrypt]

Review: Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis

“Harrow Lake is a held breath.”Lola has to be one of my favorite protagonists of all time. Her morbid humor and sass knew no bounds and I loved every minute of it. I know for a fact I’m going to be thinking about Lola for a long time to come. I wish we could get a second book following this cast of characters but I know that is wishful thinking.There is not much I can say except that:1: I loved…

gf's mom female reader x ellie williams

ok got a request for gf's mom x ellie, but i posted it accidentally & deleted it whoops. SO lmk if ur the anon that requested this!

cw ; nsfw. cheating. age gap, ellie is in her 20s. strap sex. adultery, u have a husband :(.

"oh, god... this is bad. this is bad."

ellie pants, her eyes wide as she watches you bounce on her strap— the one she had worn in favor of your daughter. she knew this was wrong on both ends, but oh that just made it so much more exciting.

a stereotypical beginning; ellie came over to visit her girlfriend. you had told her before, she was— 'welcome any time, you're family!'

but her girlfriend was out with her dad for the day, doing whatever. you told her they wouldn't be very long, a few hours at most, and she could wait around... if she wanted.

and she did.

she didn't, however, expect to have the view of you riding her on your couch. she hated to admit it— but you were good, really good. better than her girlfriend, that's for sure. you hadn't even complained about your thighs being tired yet. she began to envy your husband for having the opportunity to see this every night.

you moan, your eyes fluttering open to look at her slouched against the sofa. you smile down at her, not a hint of remorse in your eyes for fucking your daughter's girlfriend. that just turned ellie on more, gripping your hips tightly and guiding you back on forth on her strap.

she groans as the harness nudges and rubs her throbbing clit, her head falling back on the couch as she pants. she trembles slightly against your touch, your manicured hands sliding down her chest and squeezing her boobs over her wife beater.

you lean forward, taking advantage of how her head is thrown back to lick slowly up her neck to her jaw, nipping at her skin. ellie's brain goes fuzzy at the feeling of your wet muscle and lips on her skin, "fuck." she whispers, turning her face to catch your lips with hers in a sloppy kiss.

its so wrong, but it feels so good. you lift your hips and drop down onto her strap over and over, it filling you better than your husband could ever do. you moan against her lips, her big hand sliding over your stomach, between your thighs to thumb at your clit.

"god, don't stop. don't stop..." she whimpers, feeling the heat in her stomach build up fast. you pull back, planting one of your hands on her thigh behind you to give you leverage to bounce on her harder. your other hand comes up to palm and knead your breast, providing yourself with more pleasure.

she lifts her head to watch you, continuing to abuse your clit to force you over the edge. her eyes wander down between your legs, focussing on how your pussy swallows her strap and leaves in soaking.

you're so close, and so is she. the trill and risk heightening the experience. and suddenly, your hips stutter, hearing the familiar jingle of your husband's keys and the sound of your daughter's laughter outside the door.

"oh, shit—"

BLOG NEWS: Check back later!

I now run a Riordanverse roleplay Tumblr Community! Everyone is welcome!

Kat if she had a Wikipedia page (her lore summarized)

Portrait done by the incredibly talented @apollos-coolest-child

Oh, hi! Didn’t see you see there. I’m Kat Carter!

Okay, lemme think… I’m fifteen, daughter of Apollo currently at Camp Half-Blood with my homies <3

When I’m not at camp, NYC is my home base. You can probably find me in Apollo cabin: practicing monologues/songs, playing matchmaker (it’s not just for Aphrodite kids!), or staging a kitchen coup d’état so I can bake something delicious.

he gets his own category:

@ellis--wakefield — my boyfriend <333

he’s really cute and he’s great at capture the flag and he’s nice to the newbies and damn he’s just idk how to even describe him ‘cause words cannot

Former… um… let’s just say people I used to know:

@lukemessedup — Good boss, bad business

@lieutenant-of-kronos — I regret letting him convince me to join up but he’s a nice guy.

@alabaster-c-t — Yep. You read that right. Bro is apparently not dead, nor has ever been.

@the-song-of-the-moon — We’re starting an ex-Titan Army therapy group together :3

Uncle Kronos (links to the Wayback Machine of the first version) — Literally cannot believe I wrote this. Uncle Kronos was a good person. I think I’ll always miss him, but I’m glad he found peace. Here’s to you, Uncle K.

@existence-is-pain-ahhhhhhhh — need I say more? He’s awesome. Case closed.

@the-better-castellan — new addition to the List Of People Who Aren’t Dead After All! They’re cool trust me

@peyton-is-cool — I missed him loads. Thank the gods he’s safe—he’s been in Texas? I guess?

Totally irresponsible pseudo-father to half of CHB (he does actually care about campers but he’s got a reputation to uphold):

@dionysus-god-of-all-things-wine

My fellow campers, love y’all:

@thanatoss-favorite-demigod — best murder road trip buddy a gal could ask for

@thehadescabincounsler — I’ve adopted them into Apollo cabin. They’re now officially an honorary child of the Sun Dude.

@thatonebitheaterkid — my sibling. too many pets (affectionate)

@that-dam-daughter-of-poseidon — my absolute bestie <3

@poseidons-favourite-daughter — training together ⚔️! She’s so sweet and a year rounder so I won’t be alone come fall

@yes-im-a-daughter-of-hades — she just got back from Tartarus, so you know what that means!… binge watching everything pop culture. Phineas and Ferb say what?

@lady-ariadne-of-milan — my coolest big sister. Be nice, she’s been trapped as a flower since, like, the Renaissance.

@bill-son-of-boreas — Ayyy! My Norwegian bestie!

@internal-bloodshed — I’m like ninety percent sure he wants me dead. If I step a toe out of line and hurt Ellis, my body will apparently never be found.

@the-better-stoll-brother — If anyone messes with him one more time I’m throwing hands.

Shoot me an ask, camp can get kinda boring!

(Psst. My general tag is #kat carter on the case, and my lore tag is #from the archives of kat carter)

(Extra psst. Do you want more Kat Carter content without actually having to roleplay? Send me an ask by picking something from my tag #ask game!)

[clonerightsagenda]

Forget space nobility, the Vorkosigan worldbuilding I have been most charmed by so far is the station that uses algae to convert CO2 back into oxygen and breeds newts in the tanks to keep the algae under control and now they have so many surplus newts to eat that everyone's sick of it, so they sell them to tourists at a markup saying they're frog legs.
