  Jacob Carlyle has been living his best life as a successful political pundit. His comfortable existence goes into meltdown, however, when right-wing activists go public with a hidden-camera video of Jacob in a hotel room with the married son of an ultra-conservative politician. 
  Suddenly Jacob is the target of attacks from both ends of the political spectrum, and he retreats to his late grandfather's remote farmhouse to try to sort out the mess he has made of his life. 
  He finds an ally in childhood friend Benny Stokes, and with Benny's quiet encouragement, Jacob finally begins work on his long-delayed novel, although not without distractions from invading wildlife, a hostile barn cat, eccentric contractors, and his evolving feelings for Benny. 
  Jacob soon discovers that he can't build a future without first coming to grips with the past.

  Negotiations with the LA vampires have failed.  
  Having survived the attempted razing of their enclave by the dragons, the vampires are now holding Jordan’s sister hostage and are demanding a unicorn for her safe return. There’s only one problem.  
  Unicorns aren’t animals. They are wild magic best left alone.  
  Jordan holds the media responsible for Katie’s capture. If they had stayed out of his private life, she would’ve been safe. With Edra banned from LA and Jordan unable to even look at the case, there is nothing they can do to facilitate her release unless they want to risk catching a unicorn. 
  The vote that will decide the status of mythological people draws near, protests are increasing, and wild magic is creating havoc in the city. Jordan and Edra are pushed to their breaking point. When Jordan encounters the unicorn, it gives him what he craves most: escape.  
  As tensions rise, lines are drawn. Edra is on his own to save Jordan and the city.

  The Male Gazed - On Hunks...

  Manuel Betancourt has long lustfully coveted masculinity—in part because he so lacked it. As a child in Bogotá, Colombia, he grew up with the social pressure to appear strong, manly, and, ultimately, straight. And yet in the films and television he avidly watched, Betancourt saw glimmers of different possibilities. From the stars of telenovelas and the princes of Disney films to pop sensation Ricky Martin and teen heartthrobs in shows like Saved By the Bell, he continually found himself asking: Do I want him, or do I want to be him?The Male Gazed grapples with the thrall of masculinity, examining its frailty and its attendant anxieties even as it focuses on its erotic potential. Masculinity, Betancourt suggests, isn't suddenly ripe for deconstruction—or even outright destruction—amid so much talk about its inherent toxicity. Looking back over decades' worth of pop culture's attempts to codify and reframe what men can be, wear, do, and desire, this book establishes that to gaze at men is still a subversive act.Written in the spirit of Hanif Abdurraqib and Olivia Laing, The Male Gazed mingles personal anecdotes with cultural criticism to offer an exploration of intimacy, homoeroticism, and the danger of internalizing too many toxic ideas about masculinity as a gay man.
