Queer Reads: EM Lindsey

For the fifth of Wednesday’s post, we have two sports: hockey AND baseball. 

E.M. Lindsey writes a variety of topics in the romance world, and I haven’t read nearly enough of their books. Lindsey’s books are full of really well written angst, disability rep, and trauma, with a healthy side of well-communicated kinky spice. 

The hockey books are two duos, one co-written with Marina Vivancos, and the other one solo written. While I enjoyed all of them, the West Coast Sin Bin books, Breakaway and Soft Hands, have the added bonus of being set in Denver. I love a story set in my home state. 

The baseball trilogy is also set in Denver, and features a sports world where out players are a thing (which the hockey books do too). Lindsey does hurt/comfort really well, and book 3 has a fantastic redemption arc in it. Out of the 9 or 10 baseball books I read (and attempted to read) in April, these three were definitely my favorites. 

On my to-read list of basically every other book Lindsey has written, so check them out. 

Remember folks, read queer all year.

Wolfie and Four friendship appreciation doodles! They're shared secrets besties! I hope Four's distrust of the shadow crystal doesn't drive anything between them. Wild found his way into this compilation with a force. It seems I can't draw Wolfie and not include him too!

Another thing I hated in Season 2 is how often and explicity they call Vander "father". Sometimes it's more powerful to leave things unsaid, especially when they are perfectly understandable already. We know already that Vander (and Silco) were surrogate fathers to Vi and Jinx. You don't have to beat us over the head with it by having them call him father every time and even DAD💀

They did it very sparingly in Season 1 ("he's our father too" and "you're my daughter, I'll never forsake you"). The rest of the time it's left unsaid and packs much more of a punch because of it! Vi and Jinx also never directly refer to the men as "dad" or "father", they only ever call them their names. It's just another way that Season 1 was much more mature than Season 2. It had restraint that Season 2 didn't.

Finally got to see these freaks in action! And... they were bullying an old man. Which was very cool, because Ketheric is the worst dad ever. Then they left to let ME bully that old man, which was even cooler. Great first impression. (NO SPOILERS PLEASE I AM VERY SLOW)
