About this deal

Noir and fantasy often seem to go together, but those two elements seldom uplift each other quite as well as they do in Even Though I Knew the End” —The Washington Post C. L. Polk is the author of the World Fantasy Award winning novel Witchmark, the first novel of the Kingston Cycle. After leaving high school early, they have worked as a film extra, sold... Read more LAST NIGHT AT THE TELEGRAPH CLUB meets season five of Supernatural in this fantastical and sapphic noir. Atmospheric and enthralling, I finished it in one sitting! This is a romance for the ages, and a story I can't wait to read again and again! Off came my gloves. I cut the little finger of my left hand, hissing as blood welled up. I held out my hand and spoke: “Blood, join with blood and reveal it.”

one of my favorite elements is how historical queer culture is represented in the book. helen and edith frequent a gay bar where they can be together openly, but otherwise they pretend to be close friends only. they also frequent a diner, where they put on fake wedding bands to help secure their ruse as two innocent hetero wives. these are simply the facts of life, their methods of survival.

I listened to an audiobook for this story. The names of the angels were difficult to follow. I couldn't tell who's who. I listened to the part with the killer twice to figure out who. Still unsure. Despite the patriarchal structure, women do dance and love and live; they hold good jobs and work magic, both figurative and literal. There are hints at what the world could be, were they all free to grow and shine beyond their world’s limitations, if they could claim their power—even though they know the end. Tordotcom Publishing is thrilled to announce Even Though I Knew the End, a new novella from C.L. Polk! The deal was brokered by Caitlin McDonald at Donald Maass Literary Agency, and is scheduled to publish in Fall 2022. This is a must-read for those who like their queer fantasy with a little grit and a lot of soul (pun intended).” — Booklist, starred reviewtrigger + content warnings: a lot of mentions of homophobia, mention of conversion therapy, institutionalization, talk of loss of a loved one, mention of a car accident involving death, abduction, murder, gore, ritual killings, human sacrifice, a lot of blood depictions, self harm for blood for magic, possession, misogyny, brief mention of throwing up, gun violence involving cops, a lot of smoking + alcohol consumption. But this is also a book about sacrifice and love and hope and how those three things can take so many different shapes, yet sometimes they look the very same. I highly recommend this one and pray it will be the first book in a series. I’d read this book a dozen times, two dozen. I always held my breath, waiting for Daisy to come to him. Jay hoped every single time, and I hoped right along with him, even though I knew the end. Many thanks to Tor Publishing and Raincoast Books for sending me an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court (Light Novel) Vol. 2 (Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale ... Swap in the Maiden Court (Light Novel)) Honestly, where do I begin. This was WAYYY too short. Too short, too good. I need more. More of these characters, of this world, of this writing, please. Delaney didn’t matter. I was smiling so hard, I could feel the cold on my molars. Ted was here, this week of all weeks. Here, when I thought I’d never see him again. “Teddy. It is you. You transferred out of Ohio? Are you here in Chicago to stay? You’ve got to be an initiate by now; have you earned your third degree?”
