It feels like cheating so post a review about a book dedicated to yourself, that you helped birth. So as a warning, this might be a little bit biased.

In The Garden of Echo is hot, horny and disgusting in the best way possible. I didn't know it was possible to make gore that fucking sexy. If you have a weak stomach, don't read it. This one is for the lovers of extremely obsessive and codependent queer relationships. I won't be surprised if Echo and Ender become the definition of romance among the queer indie lit community.

I'll never stop being amazed at how queer people write horror, it's refreshing and creative and simply delectable. Similarly, trans people always manage to take body horror to a whole new level of fucked up, which Wolfe heavily capitalised on for ITGOE. Not gonna lie, wish it was me.

I can't wait to see what comes next in the series, I just know it will be the grossest sexiest stuff I've ever read. Needless to say, I'm ruined for vanilla smut, if there isn't at least one unconventional hole being used I don't want it.

Happy release day, my love.
