“He couldn’t help it. He went where she led, like a paper kite on a string. He was hopelessly caught, twisted in her branches. His line tangled. His spine splintered. His sail all in tatters.

Dark Academia Hive Stand Up! 🍁📚🖊️

What is Dark Academia, you ask? The truth is, nobody seems to have an exact answer. Some describe it as an aesthetic, like images of students wearing tweed blazers during fall, reading classical literature, and using a typewriter. Another description suggests that it’s a book that features an academic setting, like a college or boarding school, and usually features some kind of a dark twist. Hence, dark academia. Whatever aspects you tie to the culture, we have the perfect list for you.

A girl and a god, alone in communion ...

In the winding underground tunnels of the Library, the great peacekeeper of the three systems, a heinous secret lies buried -- and Freida is the only one who can uncover it. As the daughter of a Library god, Freida has spent her whole life exploring the Library's ever-changing tunnels and communing with the gods. Her unparalleled access makes her unique -- and dangerous.

With the world at the brink of war, Freida embarks on a journey to fulfill her destiny, one that pits her against an ancient war god. Her mission is straightforward: Destroy the god before he can rain hellfire upon thousands of innocent lives -- if he doesn't destroy her first. Start Reading THE LIBRARY OF BROKEN WORLDS! 

In SHADOW COVEN, The Haunting Season has ended, but dark magic lingers in the shadows. Iris is set to become a Reaper, tasked with banishing souls who refuse to cross over. Logan still hears the howling Wolves and realizes that the Haunting Season may have awakened more than just her magic. Thalia finds herself heading to a place she swore she’d never go again: home. Meanwhile, Jailah is focused on her internship with the Haelsford Witchery Council – until she discovers a treacherous magic hidden beneath Mesmortes. Separated by distance, the coven is surrounded by magical and mundane threats that must be defeated before they lose their witchery--and each other--forever...

Delaney Meyers-Petrov is tired of being seen as fragile just because she's Deaf. So when she's accepted into a prestigious program at Godbole University that trains students to slip between parallel worlds, she's excited for the chance to prove herself. But her semester gets off to a rocky start as she faces professors who won't accommodate her disability, and a pretentious upperclassman fascinated by Delaney's unusual talents. 

Delaney wants to keep her distance from Colton -- she seems to be the only person on campus who finds him more arrogant than charming -- yet after a Godbole student turns up dead, she and Colton are forced to form a tenuous alliance, plummeting down a rabbit-hole of deeply buried university secrets. Start reading THE WHISPERING DARK!

Mars has always been the lesser twin, the shadow to his sister Caroline's radiance. But when Caroline dies under horrific circumstances, Mars is propelled to learn all he can about his once-inseparable sister who'd grown tragically distant.

Mars's genderfluidity means he's often excluded from the traditions -- and expectations -- of his politically-connected family. This includes attendance at the prestigious Aspen Conservancy Summer Academy where his sister poured so much of her time. But with his grief still fresh, he insists on attending in her place.

What Mars finds is a bucolic fairytale not meant for him. Mars seeks out his sister's old friends: a group of girls dubbed the Honeys, named for the beehives they maintain behind their cabin. They are beautiful and terrifying -- and Mars is certain they're connected to Caroline's death.

But the longer he stays at Aspen, the more the sweet mountain breezes give way to hints of decay. Mars’s memories begin to falter, bleached beneath the relentless summer sun. Something is hunting him in broad daylight, toying with his mind. If Mars can't find it soon, it will eat him alive. START READING!

The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew⁠ ★★★★★⁠ ⁠ The Whispering Dark may just be my favorite OwlCrate read of 2022. It's brilliant, combining multiple magical elements to create a seriously compelling mystery. Throw in a romantic subplot, and you've got something…magical.⁠ ⁠ My only regret is that we didn't see more of this world. And by the world, I largely mean the school. Yes, we get glimpses at the classes and even some buildings around the property. But it felt like there was so much more to explore! This lack of exploration left a blank hole in the middle of the novel. Not a deal-breaker, but it would have been nice to see more.⁠ ⁠ Delany's character is arguably one of the most compelling elements of this tale. She clearly has abilities – her acceptance of Godbole makes that clear. But it takes a while for us to really understand what those abilities are. However, her connection to Colton hints at some of it.⁠ ⁠ Overall, I'd say that this is a solid fantasy read. I would have liked to see it about a hundred pages longer (or more) to have time to flesh out the world and some of the secondary characters. Then again, I'm a greedy reader, so that may just be me being unfair in my demands, as per usual.⁠ ⁠ Highlights:⁠ Young Adult⁠ Fantasy⁠ Romance⁠ Urban Fantasy⁠ Secret Societies⁠ Deaf Protagonist⁠ Enemies-to-lovers⁠

Hello everyone and happy Friday! The last Friday of 2022 and also the last haul of 2022 😂 but never fear, I have (many) more to share with you. I couldn’t resist the 30th anniversary edition The Secret History having only previously had it on Kindle before now. I’m looking forward to re-reading it again at some point next year hopefully! I also already have a paperback edition of The Regulators by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King) but I needed this edition as it matched my Desperation edition. What’s a bookworm to do? 😉😂 The Regulators is also a pick for the wonderful #keeperofkingbookclub for 2023 😁 Finally, The Whispering Dark was sent in a recent @illumicrate box and looks gorgeous. It’s been described as The Raven Boys meets Ninth House which would sound great if I had read either of those books 🙈 Reading a bit further into the synopsis it promises to be “a dark, atmospheric fantasy about a Deaf college student with a peculiar connection to the afterlife.” Sounds good to me! I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #bookhaulofshame #thesecrethistory30thanniversary #donnatartt #theregulators #stephenkingasrichardbachman #thewhisperingdark #kellyandrew #illumicratespecialeditions #morebooksplease📚 #booksimexcitedabout #booksineedtoreread https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzVRtiLVPZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Read an Excerpt: The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew!

"A haunting, dreamlike tale of sacrifice, love, and obsession." -- Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Delaney Meyers-Petrov is tired of being seen as fragile just because she's Deaf. So when she's accepted into a prestigious program at Godbole University that trains students to slip between parallel worlds, she's excited for the chance to prove herself. But her semester gets off to a rocky start as she faces professors who won't accommodate her disability, and a pretentious upperclassman fascinated by Delaney's unusual talents.

Colton Price died when he was nine years old. Quite impossibly, he woke several weeks later at the feet of a green-eyed little girl. Now, twelve years later, Delaney Meyers-Petrov has stumbled back into his orbit, but Colton's been ordered to keep far away from the new girl... and the voices she hears calling to her from the shadows.

Delaney wants to keep her distance from Colton -- she seems to be the only person on campus who finds him more arrogant than charming -- yet after a Godbole student turns up dead, she and Colton are forced to form a tenuous alliance, plummeting down a rabbit-hole of deeply buried university secrets. But Delaney and Colton discover the cost of opening the doors between worlds when they find themselves up against something old and nameless, an enemy they need to destroy before it tears them -- and their forbidden partnership -- apart.
