SUMMARY:Lavender Book Club: Disco Witches of Fire Island by Blair Fell
DESCRIPTION:Join the Lavender Book Club to discuss Disco Witches of Fire Island by Blair Fell on Thursday\, June 25th\, 6:30-8:00pm\, at the PGH Equality Center. \nAbout the Book\nUSA TODAY BESTSELLER! \n“Heartfelt.”—The New York Times \nHit the dance floor with a coven of queer witches on 1980s Fire Island in this gay fantasy romance about finding magic\, love\, and family in the face of tragedy. \nA heartwarming LGBTQ+ novel for fans of steamy romance\, loathe-at-first-sight\, and Red\, White\, and Royal Blue. \nThe paperback edition will have sprayed teal edges and foil on the cover!It’s 1989\, and Joe Agabian and his best friend Ronnie set out to spend their first summer working in the hedonistic gay paradise of Fire Island Pines. Joe is desperate to let loose and finally move beyond the heartbreak of having lost his boyfriend to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. \nThe two friends are quickly taken in by a pair of quirky\, older house cleaners. But something seems off\, and Joe starts to suspect the two older men of being up to something otherworldly. In truth\, Howie and Lenny are members of a secret disco witch coven tasked with protecting the island—and young men like Joe—from the relentless tragedies ravaging their community. Problem is\, having lost too many of their fellow witches to the epidemic\, the coven’s protective powers have been seriously damaged. \nUnaware of all the mystical shenanigans going on\, Joe starts to fall for the super-cute bisexual ferryman who just happens to have webbed feet and an unusual ability to hold his breath underwater. But Joe’s longing to find love is tripped up by his own troublesome past as well as the lure of a mysterious hunk he keeps seeing around the island—a man Howie and Lenny warn may be a harbinger of impending doom. \nThe Disco Witches need to find help—fast—if they’re to save Joe and the island from the Great Darkness. But how? Fans of spicy queer romances with a dash of fantasy will fall in love with this stunning novel of community\, love\, sex\, magic\, and hope in desperate times. \n(Source: Penguin Random House) \nAbout the Author\nBlair Fell writes and lives in New York City.
