Low stakes, sweet characters, and found family - this book felt like a warm hug.

First of all, this was a beautifully written novel, balancing perfectly between the old fashioned language of Stoker and its own modern voice. Giving life to the wife and lovers of the infamous vampire lord - outside of the events of Dracula - brought an interesting and, I think, refreshing take to the bloody tale. 

Pretty confident this will be one of my Top 10 Reads of 2024 - I simply loved it from page one!

Grappling with the death of her father, and determined to finish what he could not, Atlas embarks on a month long hike through California's Western Sierras. Given a blank slate of an identity upon arrival, Atlas - now Maps - will work alongside Sugar, Junior, Books, and King to rehabilitate the trails they travel. 

A journey in multiple ways, this is a lovely tale of grief, friendship, connection, and the struggle to find yourself again when life is no longer what it once was.
