Summer Sons

"Set in the stifling last gasps of summer, Vanderbilt grad student Andrew investigates the apparent suicide of his closest friend – while being haunted by his ghost. As Andrew searches for answers, he falls into a world full of bad boys, fast cars and centuries-old secrets. Summer Sons is an atmospheric Southern gothic wrapped in the spirit of dark academia, a combination I loved. I was equally intrigued by the twisting plot and the slow-burn romance, and Lee Mandelo’s visceral style brought the mounting pressure to life. A jagged story packed with loss and queer longing, Summer Sons is addictively tormenting."
