WHOAAA. 🌊 Merciless Waters is a wildly imaginative sapphic tour de force. Packed in just 124 pages, this novella is immersive, inventive, and inviting. Come for the tender yet teeth-sinking eroticism, stay for the searing prose and lush worldbuilding. There’s a lot more I could say, but you should let this dark and delightful tale surprise you! I read it in basically one sitting, and as a ~slow reader~, this never happens. Dear universe, plz deliver everything Rae ever writes right to my doorstep, tyvm!
