New Book Release: Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher
Blurb:
In an isolated desert town, a young woman seeking a fresh start is confronted by ancient gods, malevolent supernatural forces, and eccentric neighbours. A witty horror-tinged fantasy, perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Chuck Tingle, and Rachel Harrison.
When Selena travels to the remote desert town of Quartz Creek in search of her estranged Aunt Amelia, she is desperate and short of options. Fleeing an unhappy marriage, she has exactly twenty-seven dollars to her name, and her only friend in the world is her dog, Copper.
On arrival, Selena learns Amelia is dead. But the inhabitants of Quartz Creek are only too happy to have a new resident. Out of money and ideas, Selena sees no harm staying in her aunt’s lovely house for a few weeks, tending to her garden and enjoying the strange, desolate beauty of the desert. The people are odd, but friendly, and eager to help Selena settle into her new home.
But Quartz Creek’s inhabitants share their town with others, old gods and spirits whose claim to the land long predates their human neighbours. Selena finds herself pursued by disturbing apparitions, visitations that come in the night and seem to want something from her.
Aunt Amelia owed a debt. Now her god has come to collect.

I got this book through Amazon First Reads. I haven’t read it yet but it’s on my kindle and hopefully I will get to it soonish.
Ooo yay! Everything I’ve read so far by Kingfisher has been really great.
I haven’t had anything that I’ve hated but so far nothing has beat Swordheart for me.
Oh, I haven’t read that one yet. I’ll have to try it! I adored A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking and Bryony and Roses was pretty good too.
I haven’t read either of those yet.
I think you’d vibe with em for sure.
I definitely want to eventually get to all of her books but it’s a slow process.
Yeah, there’s always so much to read! I’m doing good on catchup though.
