Story
When Paul enters university in early 1970s Pittsburgh, it’s with the hope of moving past the recent death of his father. Sensitive, insecure, and incomprehensible to his grieving family, Paul feels isolated and alone. When he meets the worldly Julian in his freshman ethics class, Paul is immediately drawn to his classmate’s effortless charm. Paul sees Julian as his sole intellectual equal — an ally against the conventional world he finds so suffocating.

He is to begin an apprenticeship as a bookbinder - a vocation that arouses fear, superstition, and prejudice among their small community, but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse. For as long as he can recall, Emmett has been drawn to books, even though they are strictly forbidden. Bookbinding is a sacred calling, Seredith informs her new apprentice, and he is a binder born.

When Emery Hazard and his husband, John-Henry Somerset, arrive home from their honeymoon, they’re shocked (understatement of the year) to find a boy waiting for them on their doorstep. Colt, 15 and eager to pick a fight, claims to be Hazard’s son. It’s almost a relief, then, for Hazard and Somers to be called out to assist the Dore County Sheriff’s Department with what seems to be an impossible murder: a man has been found stabbed to death in a stretch of woods, and the only set of footprints in the soft ground belong to the victim.

Publisher's Summary
Lee Mandelo's debut Summer Sons is a sweltering queer Southern Gothic that crosses Appalachian street racing with academic intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost.
Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers, until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves Andrew a horrible inheritance: a roommate he doesn’t know, friends he never asked for, and a gruesome phantom that hungers for him.
As Andrew searches for the truth of Eddie’s death, he uncovers the lies and secrets left behind by the person he trusted most, discovering a family history soaked in blood and death. Whirling between the backstabbing academic world where Eddie spent his days and the circle of hot boys, fast cars, and hard drugs that ruled Eddie’s nights, the walls Andrew has built against the world begin to crumble, letting in the phantom that hungers to possess him.

Critic Reviews
"Summer Sons is a southern summer in book form: hot and hungry and haunting. I couldn't put it down." —Alix E. Harrow
"Truly intense: you can smell the blood, the sweat, and the petrol. It absolutely rips." —Tamsyn Muir
"At once a raw, beautifully written gothic and an adrenaline-fueled debut, Summer Sons heralds a rich new voice in speculative fiction. Lee Mandelo is for real." —Andy Davidson

A surprise of the best variety!
I wasn't sure about this book in the beginning. It was engrossing and written in such a way as to immerse the reader in the scenes as if they were living it themselves, touching all 5 senses at the perfect moments, more so than any of the books I have read recently.
I struggled in the beginning because the plot is the very definition of slow burn and the author builds the story bit by bit leaving pieces of the story for you to follow like frustrating bread crumbs. Because it was so well written I kept listening until the pieces slowly came into focus (as intended I'm sure) and it was well worth it. The narrator was well chosen. He made it easy to distinguish between characters and to follow the story as it unfolded while never distracting from the plot by using only the changes in pitch, volume and emotion that were called for and no more.
The author has combined bitter sweet romance, mystery and spine tingling spookiness in just the right quantities to create a story that comes to life all around you. The characters are believably realistic, flawed and equal amounts endearing and l irritating and unlike far too many M/M novels the focus is on the telling of the story and not rushed relationships or one sex scene after another (though what risque tidbits there are will leave you hot and bothered in all the best ways). It also managed to really and truly give me the creeps which is no easy feat.
It's's well worth the read/listen and I can't wait to see what else the author has written so I can add it to my collection. I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself. I can't imagine anyone regretting it.

Queer Southern Gothic At It's Finest
I’ve seen this novel compared to Maggie Stiefvater’s “Raven Cycle” series a few times and I agree. There are many, many elements of this story that mirror and compliment that one. However, it must be said that this book is far more adult and far less whimsical.
But trust me, that’s a good thing. Seriously, read this book.
This story is about grieving. Bottom line. The pain Andrew is going through after losing his best friend Eddie is visceral. If you’ve experienced loss of a loved one, some of this will be hard to get through because it will cut a very deep and familiar path through your heart. Compound that with the anxiety of coming into your sexuality and coming out? It’s a powder keg of raw, real shit. And I’m so here for it.
If you’re not a fan of slow burns, then you should probably get out now. This story’s pace is edging at its finest. Masterfully holding on to its tension and keeping us from any kind of respite or relief for so long that when it all starts to finally unravel It. Is. Exquisite.
I cannot recommend this book enough.
Will Damron is an incredible narrator and I will absolutely be looking for other things he has narrated. Surperb job.
A few extra thoughts: The horror elements are subtle at first but unlike the slow burn of the story, they amp up pretty quickly. There’s a fair amount of gore, especially toward the end, but nothing so traumatizing it needs mentioning. That being said, I should put a warning for suicide and suicidal themes here. Please proceed with caution if this is something that triggers you.
There are also heavy sexual themes, and yes, there is sex (fist pump). It’s not overly graphic, but it’s not a fade to black either. The romance element of this story is a bit in the background but at the same time, it’s one of the main cogs driving things forward. You’ll understand once you read it. It’s excellent, trust me.
And last, but certainly not least, I am ecstatic over the trans representation. Thank you, Lee Mandelo for writing a major character who is trans but not having their “transness” be their defining feature.
In closing: Read This Fucking Book.

Struggled to finish!
Core of the story was decent but the over the top melodrama of the characters was irritating and honestly confusing. This was probably a combination of the writing and the narration. The interactions amongst the characters was wildly unrealistic and I found myself just frustrated. Also the obvious attempt at being "current" and "woke" was distracting and unnecessary . I hate giving up on books so I made it to the end but was left unsatisfied.

excellently creepy
I was very pleased to find some paranormal fun reading in the LGBT category that is actual fiction. It's not a romance novel, even if there are people who are romantically involved. I listened to it while camping and nearly gave myself about 8 heart attacks. The relationships are interesting and the plot is very creative. The university campus shenanigans feel so real. The end is satisfying, which I require because real life isn't always that way. Awesome book!

A fun horror
I really loved the characters and Andrew's growth and it ended in a satisfying arc.
Some aspects I found a tad predictable but I still enjoyed it.
The Voice Actor, Lee Mandelo does a stunning job at bringing this story to life.
I took a risk in trying out this book as I haven't found much success in finding any good LGBT Horror books but I was not disappointed.
I'm not much of a writer but I feel inspired to write my own story having read this.

Sexy af but like… not super interesting
There seemed to be a fair bit of anticipation for this book and it was just okay, which made for a bit of an anticlimax.
I found that the main story was not as interesting to me as the homoerotic undertones that I desperately wanted to bubble to the surface. This either means I’m a horny piece of shit or the story was a bit thin.
The ‘magics’ that managed the supernatural aspect of the story were frustratingly vague and while nobody is asking for Harry Potter level explicitness, I would have liked some more clarity. The vagueness gave the writing this strange pretentious or forced tone that made me dislike it.
The narrators voice is BLOODY GORGEOUS and I could have listened to him read the phone book.
