Do you think Visser Three caught yamphut during the events of book 29, and how do you think the Yeerks handled it? We know from Aftran that Yeerks can actually see what’s going on with the brain (which makes sense), so it’s likely Esplin could identify if Alloran’s tria gland started to swell. But how would they have countered the symptoms in the other Controllers? Was there just a massive “flu outbreak” that week? Did Jake give Tom the yamphut? Did any of the Animorphs pass it on to Mr. Chapman while at school? I need to know what the consequences of this were, it would tell us more about how yamphut actually works.

Book 29 of the 50 book challenge. Year of impossible goodbyes by Sook Nyul Choi. A autobiography of living under the Japanese and then the Russians in North Korea until she and her brother escaped to South Korea. Her cousin and Aunt died in North Korea seen as traitors for helping others escape. Her mother escaped later and her father and older brothers escaped after wwii ended. Her older sister escaped in 1950 when the Korean War started. It’s a good book.

The Demon Lover by Juliet Dark

Callie wasn’t supposed to take the job at the remote Fairwick College, she wanted to wait out for an offer of her number one school. Yet, when she went to the interview it all felt right. And now she’s here, her boyfriend is thousands of miles away and her nights are held hostage by disturbingly sensual dreams. Sensual enough to feel guilty towards said boyfriend. Except, her dream lover is so alluring that she cannot say no.

Perhaps these dreams are the direct result of her own book: The Sex Lives of Demon Lovers. That book was the reason she found herself at Fairwick College to begin with. Her lifelong passion for the intersection of lurid fairy tales and Gothic literature got her the job at Fairwick;s renowned Folklore department.

Soon enough though, Callie realises that the dreams are alarmingly real and she needs to fight for her life.

This book sparked my interest because it’s rather different from the supernatural/fantasy books I usually read. The cover art didn’t hurt either—It’s gorgeous, simple yet haunting. 
I haven’t read many stories that involve Fae, because somewhere in my teens I read a book to turned me off of them. This book made me realise they deserve another chance. Not to say that it’s only fae in this book, because there is a multitude of creatures and I loved that. 

Now, please note that this book is very much for adult audiences only. Their is a lot of explicit sexual content. 

With that said, I loved the characterisations. The characters are divers, heavily flawed and interesting. Callie isn’t all powerful and perceptive. In fact she can be easily lead astray, even when her instinct tells her to be more aware of those around her. She is kind and forgiving and strong just the same. 
The world building is compelling and complex and it drew me in. All the different creatures had flesh out lore, even though the information isn’t all laid out immediately. You really learn along with Callie and I love that in a book.

This book was fun and interesting and I’m glad it was suggested to me on Goodreads.
