    Tourist Season by Brynn Weaver (Part 1) | 417.1

    Hey HBs! We're back! And we're back with some stabby energy because what could be better in this moment? We've got a Brynn Weaver spinoff that made all our dreams come true, and made Mel's gardening heart very jealous: TOURIST SEASON. It's book one in her new trilogy The Seasons of Carnage. She's a transplant taking over the mantle of "protecting" her new small town, one wood-chipped tourist at a time. He's a tourist who's determined to turn the tables on her and enact his revenge for the accident that killed his brother and ruined his life. But there's a magnetism neither of them can explain! TW: depictions of caring for an elder loved one with dementia/Alzheimer's. Oh and, like, brutal murder, drowning, dismemberment, and more. Look, man, it's a Brynn Weaver book. Bonus content: Cookie Monster impressions, Mel gets jealous of Harper's compost resources, BIRD watching because she's Harper STARLING, we've upgraded to a Cuck Couch here at HBHQ, and so much more!
