Widdershins by Jordan L. Hawk
5.0
4.5
And only because this needed a bit more editing and it distracted me from what would otherwise be the best queer paranormal/horror/mystery I've ever read. I kid you not, the wonderfully paced romance, the mystery and all the creepy stuff work in perfect harmony and make it almost impossible to put this book down. Now, I am not normally into gay romance books because they're always written in an unrealistic way, or in a way that ignores the individuals as characters while rushing to get them to the sexy times but this isn't the case here.
I loved seeing the awkward scholar start to come into his own, and on his own terms, with the dashing detective as his muse. And I was touched by the genuine way this book dealt with trauma and gay relationships - not just the sexy times, but all the important awkwardness that happens when two people start out. I wish I could give it a more articulate review but even after my fifth read I'm still too giddy to manage it.
