Nine Moons in a River of Stars : Phase One by Xen
5.0
➸ romance, horror, urban fantasy ...
➸ small town in the 80's
➸ lots of povs
➸ stressful vibes
➸ the sun isn't rising today
➸ short novellas serial
this is not my usual genre, the body horror elements had me properly creeped out. The mysteries of why, what, how, are still making me wonder two weeks later. Nine moons is something that doesn't fit one genre, it's a lot of things and book 1 gave us only a glimpse. Sho and Naoki are giving us the soft feelings of childhood friends to lovers in the making but oh my will the road be rough.
❝ Sho’s heart already belonged to someone here. And he didn’t want it stolen by the sea. ❞
if you like stranger things, under the dome and the shape of water, you should really give this serial a try. (book 2 is out today)
❝ People still laughed and drank coffee and clocked in for work and walked their dogs and kissed and fought and smiled and sighed and hoped and wanted and cried, even while your world shattered and fell apart, and everything moved on for everyone except you. ❞
there are a lot of characters in this world, in this bubble of a town. and this was the first episode where I enjoyed visiting every single one of them without being confused and having to check the character list at the beginning of the book. i'm always moved by Cole McCade's writing. and this was no exception. I still don't know where this story is going, it's all vibes, and weirdness and slice of life and very human characters. I like it a lot, there is nothing like it.
❝ Now just what makes you think you have to do something to be worth wanting around? ❞
