Gale writes the kind of mm dark/gray romance that makes you question your life choices in the best possible way. When not crafting morally questionable characters doing questionable things, she can be found buried in a book, rolling dice in yet another D&D campaign, or frantically crocheting while binge-watching whatever series has stolen her soul.


She is a gaming enthusiast, horror movie aficionado, and BL manhwa collector who believes the best stories live in those deliciously gray areas. Between wrangling her four kids and making elaborate to-do lists (that will definitely be ignored), she is always down to geek out over a good book rec or debate which problematic character deserves more love.

I also kept a list of ways I definitely wanted to kill Levi and Asher 😅

So to answer your question: a stack of hand drawn maps. For the NPCs that would still be alive, I rolled dice to decide that. I had 5 more horrifying monsters they could have encountered, a bunch of puzzles, like 15 clues that could have helped, but as I worked through the story, I realized Levi would definitely miss a good chunk of them because Asher was being Asher.

Levi's fumbling through his first few resets in the sanitarium are VERY MUCH based on how I played Outlast the first time: I got scared, ran around like a ding dong, and died a lot. (less)

Solemn Vows by C.J. Tuma
"Solemn Vows carries the cozy elements of First Oaths while finally shaking Penny and Kit's false sense of security. This series has been a slow burn but the stakes are rising...I'm looking forward to seeing what still lurks in the cult's shadows.
