If you like messy bisexuals in Italy (horror and romance varieties), these are the books you will need to read this summer.

Diavola by Jennifer Thorne: what's worse, being the problem child black sheep on a vacation with your entire adult nuclear family, or discovering that the Tuscan villa your parents found on AirBnB is haunted by a 500-yr-old bloodthirsty ghost?

The Pairing by Casey McQuiston: what's better, a food-and-wine grand tour of Europe with the ex you were supposed to take the trip with four years ago, or the same tour but with an added competition to see which of you can have more hookups?

Anna is off on vacation with the family. This family just happens to be absolutely infuriating. However, when they arrive at their villa in Italy, Anna immediately gets a distinct feeling of wrongness. This only gets worse as she learns more about the area and, of course, the villa.

This book says so much in a very small amount of time. It's a really quick read. It's a short book. And while speaking on just basic horror story vibes, it really includes a lot about family dynamics that I(especially as an only child!) found really interesting, and also I think it's an important topic.

The atmosphere is everything in this book. I found this to be almost un-put-downable!!! And all that but also with the perfect kind of dark humor made this a hit for me.

Out March 26, 2024!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!

This is the first book I read this year, literally on January 2nd. I like the first reading of the year to be special and this one sure didn’t let me down!

If I had to describe it in only a few words, I would probably say it’s a horror fairy tale. It’s eerie, heartwarming and masterfully written.

I loved the pace, the peaceful beginning, the build up that give you the time to wonder, to ask yourself “how is it going to start?” When it actually starts, the change is natural as much as it’s abrupt. You live it with the characters, you feel how the protagonists reacts, get shock, but also how she adapts, how she changes and grow. She doesn’t only feel real, you get to know her the way you would get to know a real person.

Of this book I also truly appreciated the ending. Without spoilers I can say that it makes sense, it’s extremely rational and still respectful of the rules of its world. Think about all the times you finish a book and think: “Why didn’t they just try doing X?” Well, here they do, and reading it was really, really satisfying!

Diavola by Jennifer Thorne

"Thought the house ate you." "Not yet."

This was a light one for me. The entire Italy chunk is effectively creepy and filled with just enough malevolent dread to save itself from some of the more groan-inducing, cliché family drama tropes. Some of those early, eerie moments really got to me, but the characters and thematic elements throughout just weren't interesting enough for the ludicrously overdramatic family nonsense to take up the real estate it does in a <300-page horror story.

Then, once it moves to New York, the pacing stumbles severely and almost ruins the book as a whole, making me mostly give up caring about anything that happened to our main character. Thankfully, though, we're given a deliciously wicked climax, and things wrap up in such a delightfully dark manner that it makes up for the tedious nature of the Pace family and those New York scenes.

Ultimately, those early moments and that climax saved this one, satisfying enough to leave me mostly happy with my reading experience.

6.5/10

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

Upcoming in 2024: Diavola

Anna has only two rules for the annual Pace family destination vacations: Tread lightly, and survive. It isn’t easy, when she’s the only one in the family who doesn’t quite seem to fit. Her twin brother Benny goes with the flow so much he’s practically dissolved, and her older sister Nicole is so used to everyone—including her blandly docile husband and two kids—falling in line that Anna often ends up in trouble for simply asking a question. Mom seizes every opportunity to question her life choices, and Dad, when not reminding everyone who has paid for this vacation, just wants some peace and quiet. The gorgeous, remote villa in tiny Monteperso seems like a perfect place to endure so much family togetherness–including Benny’s demanding new boyfriend (it’s Christopher, not Chris). That is, until things start going off the rails–the strange noises at night, the unsettling warnings from the local villagers, and, oh, the dark, violent past of the villa itself.

Diavola is a adult gothic horror, set for release March 26!

Question: how do people without a fandom obsession live? Like what do they think about 24/7? How do they spend their time if they’re not actively trying to decode some cryptic message, scrounging the internet for pieces of information or frantically combing through every social media post their favorite author/artist/ person has ever posted to piece together “clues”?
