It's ok to decide someone is an auto-buy author after the first chapter, right?
 Bath Haus by PJ Vernon has made him into just that for me.
 Utterly addicting and at times, heartbreaking. Ridiculously enthralling prose. Thrilling and dark and raw and no-holds-barred storytelling. 
 I'm just throwing in random thoughts here because I don't want to spoil anything about this book. It's one of my top reads of the year and utterly unforgettable. And I am so excited to have discovered such a talented new author.
 That said, Bath Haus is not for everyone. Step away, pearl clutchers!
 A lot of triggers here - sex, violence, addiction, infidelity, and beyond. Know what you're going into (though do so blindly?) and enjoy!
 Recommended!
