S.E Welsh's Favourite Comfort Read
I can't sleep unless I read before bed, so the reality is, books in all genres and forms are my comfort reads. However, my go-to read when I'm feeling out-of-sorts is Gail Carriger's Soulless. I love a good Victorian or Steampunk romance, but this one has the power to pull me out of a serious funk with it's dry humour. As I live in the tropics, we don't have to worry about the cold weather, but in the wet season I curl up on the hammock swing on our verandah and listen to the rain roar as I read or write. Surprisingly, it's really soothing.
The book I come back to again and again because it inspires me is Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart. I love Carey's world building and couldn't be more in awe of her love scenes. The words wrap me up for hours and, though it is quite a long book, I've been known to read through the night to finish it, even though I know how it ends. My husband hates it when I pick it up--he doesn't get much sleep either when I'm too invested in a book. Says I make too many noises.
About Seer - The TItanomachy Book One
A Seer has surfaced—but she’s blind!
Chloe Santos is an immortal with a whole world of problems. The victim of an attempted murder that left her blind, horribly disfigured, and stuck with powers everyone thought eradicated, it’s safe to say she’s at a low point in her life. But then she’s blackmailed into investigating a kidnapping with links to her past. It could put herself, and everyone she cares about, in danger.
Including her Warrior Soulmate.
Phobos has a millennia of blood on his hands. As the son of Ares, he’s done horrific things in the name of keeping the continued existence of immortals a secret. Only all of that changes when he meets his Soulmate.
Allegiances shift, trust is thin and Chloe has to decide if she should risk everything to make the world a better place. Even if that means sacrificing her own chance at happiness.
You can buy Seer here.
