BETA READERS SEARCH

Hello everyone! I am looking for beta readers for my historical fantasy novel, A Drink to the Monstrous. 🩸 It's 100k words long, and you would be asked to fill in three feedback forms over the course of your reading. 

Pitch: 

Paris, 1901. Sasha Rousseau knows how unkind the world can be to the monstrous and the queer. That’s why she opened the Alcove, a club where anyone is free to be themselves — except vampires. These are creatures of appetite. Where they lurk, violence follows.  Sasha can cast her share of protective spells, but she’s yet to find one that can pay her rent. When she is offered a ridiculous sum to help solve a murder, she usually wouldn’t hesitate. It’s life-changing money — enough to buy the Alcove. But this offer is coming from Isadora Valori: a whip-smart, ambitious, infuriating wretch. And the one vampire Sasha loathes most of all.  Isadora has no memories left of what happened between them, centuries ago; Sasha intends to keep it that way. If she can keep her secrets and her temper, she can solve this case, get paid, and never see Isadora again.  That is no easy feat with the obsessive loathing beating in her chest. Especially when it seems that though Isadora does not loathe her back, the obsession is very much mutual.  But with woundless corpses piling up and a murderer capable of poisoning memories, solving this case may awaken more dangerous ghosts than old betrayals.

The Alcove

What are your thoughts about the alcove scenes for mergana? Do you think there were more that we don't know of?

What are your thoughts about the alcove scenes for mergana?

my headcanons

morgana knew a lot of the hiding spots in camelot. she knew the citadel and city by heart. she was truly the lady of camelot.

she has observed merlin there before and memorized his schedule and habits. this was her own personal secret thing. something that she keeps even from guinevere.

my thoughts

i like the clandestine, forbidden vibe of it. the whole concept and lore of it has so much potential.

i like that it's something that only the two of them know about.

also morgana is still the "outsider" looking into the daily life of merlin (hunchback of notre dame reference). she always has that vibe of not belonging anywhere

there's an aspect of it where morgana is always the one reaching out to him first. some people may describe it as a trap. but it also is testament to morgana's patience and willingness to stew and wait for opportune times to get to him even in her innocence, in her fear and in her anger.

when merlin hid in the alcove to watch and hide from her as she fought the guards in s4, i felt sad coz unlike morgana who always bared herself to him whether in trust and in hate, at the end he still hid from her from the alcove where she was always was vulnerable and honest to him.

Do you think there were more that we don't know of?

i wish yeah. it would have added more flourishes to their dynamic if they both had happier moments there.

but honestly no. i dont think there are more moments between them in that alcove. those scant two instances where they were actually alone in the alcove were too heavy in nature for them to be followed up with anything less heavy.

thanks for the ask

funniest part about the voyager conspiracy is that seven comes up with two different theories about chakotay and janeway’s “real mission” and in each one tuvok is the main collaborator in alliance with one against the other. average polycule moment where you’ve been led to believe through a series of circumstantial but convincing evidence that the other two are conspiring against you. and that the third guy involved in both conspiracies is a double agent. third guy of course has no idea this is going on on account of going about his job and life normally but still, likely place for tuvok to be

jason should have the right to

a. sleep in bunker 9, cabin 10, or cabin 9 with leo and piper

b. sleep in cabin 2

c. sleep in the woods and wilderness. probably in like a tree or random rock covering or something.

simply because he is scared of thunder i do not make the rules

alternatively leo and piper sleep in cabin one with him as emotional support

chiron be considerate let the boy wander like the lost soul he is

A lowered ceiling creates a special alcove for a built-in couch on the lower level. The couch doubles as a bed when visitors stay overnight.
