Veal is a queer adult novel that follows Lawrence and her best friend Anastasia as they run away from corporate life to enroll in a college in a small town known for the grisly murders of its women. At her new job Lawrence meets Franky, a woman who’s convinced a monster stalks the streets and is to blame for all the deaths.

Most Valuable Player is a queer YA romance that follows a cocky star quarterback and the football teams water boy. There’s nobody Cameron can’t win over, as the star of his team, until Mason rejects him. To make matters worse Mason ends up tutoring him so he can stay on the football team after his grades drop.

Don’t leave the estate. 2. Don’t go into the garden. & 3 stay away from the charming son of the estate, Laurie.

how to get free ARCs
ARCs are advanced reader copies, aka books that are soon-to-be-released that need beta readers, editors, and reviewers before final publication!! you can get these books for free and leave helpful feedback for the author/publisher while being ahead of everyone else for potential new bestsellers!
