SUMMARY:December Fab Fantasy Book Club: Blood Over Bright Haven
DESCRIPTION:Screenshot\n\n\n\nCome join the discussion – wine and apps are free and as always our clubs are free and open to all\, PLUS the book club picks are offered at the 10% off book club discount. \n\n\n\nBlood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang. This first edition hardcover of Blood Over Bright Haven will appeal to collectors with its red stained edges\, intricate red and gold foil on the jacket\, a full-color endpaper map\, and an interior illustration from the world of the novel. \n\n\n\nBlood Over Bright Haven\n\n\n\nMeet Sciona\, a fierce mage whose lifelong dream is to join the High Magistry—the exclusive governing body within the University of Magics and Industry. Against all odds\, Sciona becomes the first woman admitted to the order\, but she soon realizes that her hardest battles are only beginning. Her male peers in the High Magistry are quick to dismiss and ostracize her\, assigning her a janitor in place of the qualified assistant she expected. \n\n\n\nThis “janitor\,” however\, turns out to be much more. Once a part of a wandering tribe\, he lost his family and homeland to the forces he now seeks to understand. His journey into the city has left him disillusioned but determined\, and he sees his work alongside Sciona as a way to uncover the truth behind his family’s destruction and the oppressive power that keeps people like him on the fringes of society. \n\n\n\nSciona and her assistant forge a tentative alliance that leads them to a dangerous discovery. At its heart\, this story is about power\, privilege\, and the cost of ambition\, and Sciona is a character who must confront her own biases to see the larger picture. \n\n\n\nFor fans of thought-provoking fantasy with a strong feminist and socially conscious edge\, Blood Over Bright Haven is a must-read. Its high-stakes plot\, intricate magic\, and complex characters will resonate with readers.

SUMMARY:December Thrill in the 'Ville: My Darlings by Marie Still
DESCRIPTION:Come join the Thrill in the ‘Ville thriller book club discussion – wine and apps are free\, and as always our clubs are free and open to all\, PLUS the book club picks are offered at the 10% off book club discount. \n\n\n\nThis month\, we’ll be chatting about My Darlings by Marie Still!  \n\n\n\nThis is a chilling suburban noir set in the deceptively serene Washington D.C. suburbs\, where a respected philanthropist and PTO mom’s secret life as a serial killer thrills any of us seeking a deep\, psychological thrill. \n\n\n\nMy Darlings by Marie Still\n\n\n\nThink “Desperate Housewives” meets “Dexter.” \n\n\n\nNo one was supposed to know. I’ve always been so careful. My Darlings\, how did we get here? \n\n\n\nEvil lurks behind the perfectly manicured lawns\, ornate iron gates\, and long winding driveways of affluent DC-but not for long. Stay-at-home mom Eloise Williams sits on the boards of many distinguished charities. In addition to being a doting wife and mother\, she is also a serial killer. \n\n\n\nYet it turns out Eloise isn’t the only lady in D.C. society playing a part. As the hidden lives of Eloise’s inner circle are exposed\, the body count rises. When stalkers becomes prey\, Eloise desperately clings to control. \n\n\n\nMoney and power can only buy influence and safety for so long. Eventually\, the façade crumbles\, exposing a chilling reality hiding in plain sight. \n\n\n\nTrigger warnings: This dark thriller has a bunch: child death\, suicide\, hazing\, bullying\, murder\, infidelity\, brutal slayings\, domestic abuse/violence\, child abuse\, and torture. If you read thrillers\, you get that. If you don’t\, this may not be where to dip your big toe.
