The Gathering by Jack Whitney

5.0
This fantastic novella is releasing on January 20, 2022 on Kindle or in paperback and it will be available on KindleUnlimited too! It’s not a brief novella either - it’s 332 pages long in paperback!
The Gathering by Jack Whitney is a companion novella that tells the events of what occurred during the Grand Gathering of Haerland during Dead Moons Rising.
It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Gathering, a very critical meeting of all of the leaders throughout Haerland, complete with a feast and dancing. We received a large overview of the event during Dead Moons Rising, but this goes much more in depth with the character interactions throughout, both in important situations and more compromising ones 😏. The banter as always was exceptional, as were the more tender character bonding moments that I love so much and are so well executed. The spice was also super detailed and frequent, matching the vibes of the rest of this extremely sexy (and sex positive) series. Overall, I loved it and thoroughly enjoyed being back in this world with some of my favorite characters!
What I especially appreciated was that this novella could be read immediately after Dead Moons Rising to better understand the events of the Gathering, or after Flames of Promise to be reunited with the characters depending on what you want to do. It is labeled as book 1.5 in the Honest Scrolls series, but I believe that the reading order can be extremely versatile.
Please read trigger warnings before reading this ADULT (18+) dark fantasy novel series, including this book.
Huge thanks to Jack for an ARC of this book! I was so happy to be back in this world and am eagerly awaiting the third book in the Honest Scrolls series!
