Join us for our final meeting of The Book Lounge’s Fantasy Book Club for 2026 as we dive into Death's Obsession by Avina St. Graves—a haunting gothic paranormal romance novella steeped in desire between a woman and the grim reaper.

This meeting is perfect for readers who love morally complex characters, dark mysticism, and stories that explore fate and compulsory infatuation. Expect immersive discussion, bold theories, and deep dives into character choices and . A glass of wine is included to keep the conversation flowing as we unravel this richly imagined world together.

BONUS FUN: Because this is our final meeting of the year, we're throwing a little Christmas party! We'll start the meeting 30 minutes earlier than our usual time, and after we chat about the book, we're making a Hear Me Out Cake! A HMO Cake is viral social media trend where friends gather around a cake to confess and display their unconventional, bizarre, or embarrassing fictional and/or animated crushes. The more unhinged the better. This is a safe space.
