Summary

Lexie, Dylan, and Harper have always lived by one unspoken rule: don’t cross the line. Their friendship has survived late-night laughs, breakups, and every storm life could throw at them. It’s the one thing they’ve never risked until now.
 
One night, too much wine, and a single reckless kiss cracks the boundary they swore to protect. Suddenly, playful teasing shifts into raw attraction, and Lexie feels the ground beneath their trio start to tilt.
 
Lexie wrestles with the weight of wanting more. Harper can’t keep ignoring the feelings he’s buried for years. And Dylan, steady and quiet, sees more than either of them realize offering space they didn’t know they needed.
 
But desire this sharp cuts deep. The more Lexie and Harper give in, the harder it becomes to pretend nothing’s changed. The closer they get, the greater the risk of breaking the only bond that’s held them steady.
 
Can love grow without tearing their friendship apart or does crossing the line mean losing everything?

    THE MALEVOLENT VOLUME EXPLORES THE MYTHS AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF BLACK BEING, ON A CONTINUUM BETWEEN THE MONSTROUS AND THE SUBLIME. 
      
    Subverting celebrated classics of poetry and mythology and examining horrors from contemporary film and cultural fact, National Book Award winner Justin Phillip Reed engages darkness as an aesthetic to conjure the revenant animus that lurks beneath the exploited civilities of marginalized people. In these poems, Reed finds agency in the other-than-human identities assigned to those assaulted by savageries of the state. In doing so, he summons a retaliatory, counter-violent Black spirit to revolt and to inhabit the revolting. 
      
    “Reed blends intersectional politics and bodily hunger in precise, thorny language.”—New York Times
