All new post apocalyptic m/m romance coming your way!

🌷Blurb:🌷
Bastian has made it his purpose to scavenge survival knowledge to trade with those who need it the most. In a world destroyed by a deadly parasitic fog, that’s basically everyone. Life is hard in a waterlogged country prone to inclement weather and mutant butt worms.
Just when things can’t seem to get any worse, he ends up captured by a cannibalistic cult. Trapped in their cave where his only prospect is to become someone’s dinner, Bastian meets his one chance of escape, the human equivalent of a mental breakdown, Felix. A cheerful, unstable disaster of a man who dreams of seeing the sky, touching some grass, and getting infected.
Felix also happens to have a valuable talent that could buy Bastian supplies, favour, maybe even a future. But as they flee the cave and struggle together to stay alive, his contempt for the jaunty cannibal turns into the biggest risk to his life yet.
Because falling for someone in the middle of fighting blood-thirsty cults and mutated parasites will absolutely get him killed. Especially when that someone not only relies on him for survival, but insists on being infuriatingly irresistible.

Happy Release Day to Miners of the Resilience by @mossy_rebellion !! 💚

This series features a Monster romance, M/M romance, horror themes, found family, magic, copious whump, and an incredibly satisfying relationship between a clawed and armored oversized monster and his tender, breakable twịnk.

Here is a fragment of one of my favorite quotes and favorite moments from this book (no spoilers!)

"There raged such a fierce sincerity in his words, so raw with devotion, that it set Tau’s very being alight. It made him want to offer more than he could feasibly give. More than his flesh and his dwimmer. He wanted to surrender every fragment of himself, from the point of his toenail to the deepest crevices of his mind. He wanted to be unmade by love, piece by piece, until nothing of him remained but what lived inside Oliver’s heart."

This is the third book in the series. I had the honor of arc-reading it, and it's WILDLY good. If you like any of these tropes, I deeply encourage you to check out this series and author! All books in the series also feature human-made art BY the author EVERY 👏 CHAPTER 👏 There's TONS of character art, and it's so good.

If any of that interests you, take a moment to add this book or series to your tbr list or wishlist. I can't recommend it more!

Genre: MM romance, horror, and fantasy

Tense/POV: 3rd person past, shifting POV

Standalone or series: series that must be read in order

I’m utterly delighted I got the chance to ARC read indie masterpiece Miners of the Resilience by @mossy_rebellion. This is a deeply favorite series of mine, and book three exceeded all expectations. If you like indie books, monster romance, and MM romance; if you like horror, hurt/comfort, and found family that are just entirely off the charts, then you will be remiss if you don’t at least look into Penny Moss and this series. It’s *so good*, so unique, and so wildly captivating. This book, book three, was deeply satisfying–intense and painful, yes, but beautiful too and soo good I can’t even explain it to you.

Not to mention, there is ART, made by the author all 25 chapters of this book. Full color art, TONS of character art, and all so gorgeously rendered. As a reader? I feel totally spoiled. Like, how will I read anything else after this? Genuinely, I don’t think anything will ever quite measure up.

In any case, I had to abridge my ARC book review just a bit for the sake of space. My review is long, but to be honest, it doesn’t feel remotely long enough. Resilience is such a work of beautiful, loving brilliance.
You can read the full review on most of your favorite book review sịtes or on quietwriters dot substack dot çọm.

Miners of the Resilience will be released in just a couple of days on December 31st!! Get your copy now or add these books to your TBR lists. If it wasn’t clear, I absolutely recommend this series to you as strongly as I possibly can!! 💚💖📚

Q: What's a book or series you recommend to everyone?

MM romance ARC book review! ✨️📖

I love a novella that has a little bit of everything as this book does! For instance, besides a reunion of ex-boyfriends with a GREAT DEAL of yearning, there’s also a thrilling plot with intrigue, betrayal, and surprises. And for microtropes? This book has snappy dialogue, Christmas themes, secret organizations, spƴ gadgets, and slụttƴ little glasses. Not to mention, once again, excellent diversity across the characters here from C. Quince.

As I mentioned, I could FEEL the yearning between Arthur and Harun from the moment they set eyes on each other, flashbacks filling in some of the gaps of their history. It was easy to see how much they missed each other, and I so enjoyed watching that fire re-kindle between brushes with danger AND jealousy, giving them a second chance. These two managed to FIND each other again, and it was satisfying to watch.

Meanwhile, the overriding plot was full of intrigue, keeping the characters on their toes and me on the edge of my seat. Old acquaintances, secret organizations, and a crazy, deadly plot set for the Christmas Eve party kept Arthur and Harun busy while trying to figure out whom they could trust. This all created so many unknowns that I felt just as eager as our main characters did to find the answers, and what I loved about it all is that despite the unknowns, Arthur and Harun never doubted EACH OTHER. They knew from the beginning the other was the only one they could 100% trust and doubt never crossed their minds.

Overall, this is an epic novella not only with romance but with PLOT, which I love, SET around Christmas! Give me a Christmas-themed book that has action, suspense, wit, diversity, and qụẹer characters, and I’m a happy reader. I very much enjoyed this. If you’re looking for a spƴ book, an M/M romance, or Christmas novella, this one will check all of those boxes.

Thanks for reading! You can also find my full book review on your favorite book tracking sịte.
This book releases TOMORROW on December 9th, so scoop it up now for your Christmas reading list 👀🎄✨️❤️
