Feast While You Can By Mikaella Clements, Onjuli Datta

In this genre-bending tale of queer love and horror, *Bait and Switch*, Angelina Sicco is stuck in Cadenze, a deadbeat mountain town where the mundane is suffocating and the locals are just as grim. She spends her days walking her scrappy dog, hanging out at the local dive bar, and luring queer women to her sleepy town with little hope of anything changing. That is, until the night of a family party, when she meets Jagvi—a brooding, handsome figure with an aura that feels both familiar and unnerving.

Jagvi’s return to Cadenze awakens an ancient evil, a monstrous force that starts infiltrating every aspect of Angelina’s life, feeding on the chaos, passion, and desires that have long simmered beneath the surface. But when Jagvi touches her, the evil recoils, drawing them into a fierce and secret romance. The more they are drawn to each other, the more the monster grows stronger, feeding off the intensity of their connection and consuming everything that makes life worth living.

As the power of the monster escalates, Angelina is faced with a terrible choice: protect her future by severing ties with Jagvi, or risk losing everything to the darkness that has claimed her town—and perhaps even her soul. In this chilling and intoxicating love story, *Bait and Switch* is a haunting reminder that the monsters we fear are often born from the very passions we try to deny. 📚❤️
