Hello my lovely followers,
I’m thrilled to be one of the blogs promoting the cover reveal and give a small sneak peak of Avion Gale’s and Roan Parrish’s super queer classic retelling of Bram Stroker’s Dracula, called Thrall.
You love the dark topics, the thrill and the suspense? You are fond of the whole mystery about a certain Count called Dracula (who isn’t what he seems) and secretly ever thought Van Helsing is a really cool dude? 😀 And you always thought Mina and Lucy were the better couple? 😀
Well all your callings will be answered but with a few twists! The authors say:
“For fans of My Favorite Murder, Black Mirror, and anyone who is terrified of online dating.”
Dive into Thrall, out September 27th and read the modern queer of Dracula retelling with not only one but two(!!) queer couples! Check out below who. 😉

Dating Sucks & Love Bites
Happy couple Mina Murray and Lucy Westenra have begun to garner national attention for their quirky New Orleans true-crime podcast, Shadowcast. When Lucy’s brother Harker disappears while researching the popular new dating app Thrall, they’re thrown into a real-life mystery. Aided by their social media expert, Arthur, and Harker’s professor, Van Helsing, they follow the trail, hoping to find Harker before it’s too late.
When their investigation crosses the path of a possible serial killer, the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur. And as they race against the app’s countdown clock, so does the line between friendship and love. What starts as a flirtatious rivalry between computer-savvy Arthur and techno-averse Van Helsing becomes much more, and Mina and Lucy’s relationship is tested in the fires of social media.
As they get down to the wire, the group discovers that nothing on their screens is as it seems—including their enemy.
A modern retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Excerpt
A. Van Helsing
I…no. You know you’re young enough to be one of my graduate students? Though much better dressed. But if your flirting is sincere, then I welcome it. I can’t deny that I felt something between us this morning.Arthur Quincey
I, uh, definitely felt something
Ugh, sorry, that was a terrible joke—you should be impressed, I never get this nervous. but seriously, so did I. It’s definitely sincere.A. Van Helsing
I am also nervous. I…I suppose I don’t quite know what to say next. I’ve never attempted to flirt on a—what is this, chat?Arthur Quincey
OMG, Gus. (I’m…look, that name reminds me of the musical Cats, which I loathe so can I call you Van?)
It’s kind of hot you just said you were nervous btw (and yeah, it’s chat)A. Van Helsing
I got the feeling you were calling me Professor on purpose, no? Yes, I suppose I can suffer through Van, if you must.
Ah, well, I’m very gratified you think so.Arthur Quincey
Yeah, because I like it. The professor thing is totally a turn-on. And I like the idea of making you like that name, Van. Just because no one else has.
Isn’t this excerpt superb? Well, pre-order the book and get it on September 27th. :3

Author bio – Roan Parrish
Roan Parrish lives in Philadelphia, where she is gradually attempting to write love stories in every genre.
When not writing, she can usually be found cutting her friends’ hair, meandering through whatever city she’s in while listening to torch songs and melodic death metal, or cooking overly elaborate meals. She loves bonfires, winter beaches, minor chord harmonies, and self-tattooing. One time she may or may not have baked a six-layer chocolate cake and then thrown it out the window in a fit of pique.
