One of my favourite novellas. Staggering in its autopsy of a Horrible Relationship with a Certain Type of Man. Also, bears! And it's PINK!!! (I am becoming increasingly unhinged about books with pink covers)
Time to stock up on snowy, dark reads! 🩷
What happened to Jade Hunter?
When Jade goes missing in the Alaskan wilderness, everyone is shocked. She was scheduled to speak at an academic symposium but never turned up. What was Jade really doing in Alaska? 🐻🐾

London scares me. And this collection from @unheimlichmanvr.bsky.social cements my feelings that it is not a place for me.
