Hide and Seek<\/a><\/em> (2022) Josh Lanyon<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Hide<\/a>Andy was already headed home–to the small Maine town where his great uncle has his small antique store, but when he arrives, things are made even worse: his uncle was in the hospital after being badly beaten during a break in.<\/p>\n

It makes Andy’s reasons for running home seem smaller.<\/p>\n

He must have finally got a good look at Andy\u2019s face because he made a choking sound and said thickly, \u201cWhat\u2019s the other guy look like?\u201d <\/p>\n

Short answer? An asshole. <\/p>\n

\u201cI walked into a door.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIf that\u2019s the case, I hope you kept walking.\u201d <\/p>\n

Andy smiled because smiling was his default.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To pour salt into his wounds, he learns his childhood crush has returned to town–the crush he thought was dead. <\/p>\n

So Andy has to discover who broke into his uncle’s home\/store and almost killed him, make sure his own ex doesn’t find him to try and finish that job, and decide if he can trust Quinn.<\/p>\n

I’d set aside this story to read when I didn’t know what I was in the mood for–it worked perfectly and was just what I needed to get out of my own head.<\/p>\n
