Thank you so much to Cooper S. Beckett for reaching out and offering me an ARC of Osgood As Dead. Expected Pub date is Feb 6th, 2025.
This was a fun queer supernatural sci-fi novel. One thing of note is that this is book 4 out of a series. I really appreciated the fact that at the beginning of the novel there was a recap- which makes it easy to jump right in. The story follows Prudence 'Os' Osgood's journey as she 'wakes up' with Locked-in-Syndrome. An elder god is creating a resort world in her mind- trying to take her body.
I really loved Os's character! She was funny and I found myself laughing at her inner monologue quite a few times. Beckett's writing skills are wonderful and I found this novel very easy to read. Although this isn't considered a horror novel, I do want to warn readers that there are a couple of bloody/graphic scenes within these pages. You will also run into a spicy scene quite early on.
If you love queer Sci-Fi romances, I definitely recommend picking this one up!
