Description

Seattle boy Emerson Oakley is about to find that the strangest thing about his first year at West Virginia’s Vance University isn’t the neighbor in the next dorm over, who ghosts him after one kiss. It’s the fact that he keeps having his life saved by a stranger who seems to know about each accident before it happens. Morrie Crisp, whose moth-person powers finally emerged at the most inconvenient time, is just trying to figure out how to deal with their crush on the boy next door, and all the different ways they’ve seen him die. As Emerson tries to get to the bottom of who his pre-cog savior could be, his relationship with Morrie becomes extra complicated as their undeniable attraction to one another becomes a liability to both. Even as Morrie struggles to keep Emerson safe, Emerson is intent on igniting the fire between them, into which Morrie is naturally drawn. What is a reasonable response to falling in love when the world itself is without reason? Unfortunately, neither one of them has any idea.

As a gay West Virginian native and cryptid enthusiast, I ADORED this book. I grew up with this folklore and culture (and had a huge crush on mothman in my teen years) and getting to read it as a queer romance made my heart soar. The writing is excellent and kept me hooked throughout the whole story. And I loved all the little references to other WV cryptids (the snarly yow and flatwoods monster deserve love too!!) and culture (I too am a Tudors stan.) Also shout out to that TAZ amnesty reference. I desperately want more Emerson and Morrie, I would read a series of this and I'm planning on buying my own copy come February!
