Burning Demons
by Mina Elwood
To escape his abusive stepfather, Tate moves to Alabama after reaching out to his father. There he meets his stepbrother, Wren, who he is instantly attracted to.
At first the boys get on like oil and water, constantly bickering and antagonizing each other, but as they spend the rest of the summer getting to know one another, the attraction between them gets harder to deny.
Their relationship is not without some struggles though--there's the whole "taboo"-ness of them being stepbrothers and having to keep their romance a secret, Wren being closeted in a small southern town, and Tate's asshole stepfather popping up.
Overall, a fantastic debut!

CW: childhood abandonment, sexual abuse/manipulation/grooming of a minor, loss of a parent (off page), bullying, homophobic language + aggression, physical violence (not between MCs)
