The Taking of Jake Livingston

marygrace_ryan shared a tip "For his first book, Ryan Douglass hit the nail on the head for a spooky, deep, introspective, and gay story! This is an absolute must read (pay attention to TW though)!"

onika_jancetic shared a tip "I really enjoyed this. I don't often read YA fiction cause it falls into a lot of tropes but queer YA fiction seems to be on the rise and I'm here for it. I appreciate this book for tackling horror as well as addressing the stress of being a gay Black kid who is trying to contend with his abilities as a medium, being in the closet and attending a majority white school. It was a refreshing read and I'm happy to have experienced it."

highcourtbooks shared a tip "Received as an ARC - this book not only touches on important topics with the main character being a POC that’s a part of the LGBTQ+ community- but it’s fun, fresh, and disturbing. Love it."

mr._guy5 shared a tip "I don't usually read books in one day, but this was one books I couldn't put down. The story never feels dragged on to where the reader loses intrest. I really liked how I could not only relate but feel like i was living in shoes of whoever I was reading because it made the story spookier, depressing, frustrating, joyful, romantic, and ect. This isn't my #1 book but this is definitely top 3. #horror #lgbtq #black"
