Books:  See You at the Summit, Dead Fakes & Night Terror

Me - If you want a book that focuses on the struggles of bisexuality and coming to terms with your sexuality while also being completely infused with queer hope and joy, then look no further! See You at the Summit follows Simone Whitaker, who has finally accepted her bisexuality and come out at the age of 29. She gets a job at an immersive museum that celebrates Pride and the LGBTQ+ community and is ready to embrace and explore her newfound identity by flirting and going out with women, but instead, to her dismay, she finds herself falling for a straight man.

Simone was a flawed character. She was an extreme people-pleaser and spent much of the book struggling to admit to herself and others what she actually wanted. As a result, she made many self-destructive decisions that were hurtful to others or just embarrassing to watch. However, throughout the story, she made an active effort to understand herself and all the facets of her identity. She learned to start standing up for herself and her needs and desires, and she sought out the help and support she needed to become the best version of herself. It felt rewarding to look back during the last few chapters of the book and see how far she had come from the beginning.

Through Simone's new job at the Rainbow Museum and her work trip to a Pride festival at a ski resort, she formed friendships with many new queer people who became a strong support system for her and helped her along her journey to self-discovery and growth. That sense of community was one of the most heartwarming and enjoyable aspects of the story.

As for the romance aspect, it was cute, but I found it slightly lacking. The love interest, Ryan, initially came across as so rude and abrasive that I couldn't imagine ever rooting for him to end up with Simone. Luckily, after their first few encounters in which he spoke to her with complete disrespect for no reason, she confronted him, and he sincerely apologized. While his explanation of going through personal struggles didn't excuse his treatment of her, he did change his ways and treat her well going forward, which helped. The two of them had decent chemistry and shared many cute moments. I mostly liked them together. However, due to the personal issues they each struggled with, they seemed really incompatible, and they both would have been better off staying single and focusing on themselves for a while longer. Despite that, I wasn't upset that they ended up together, and even though they weren't a perfect couple, they were still enjoyable to read about.

The place where this book shone the brightest, though, as I alluded to above, was in its discussions of queer identity specifically, bisexuality. Bisexuality representation in media is sorely lacking, and that is one of the reasons it's so important for books like this to exist. Simone deals with both internal and external biphobia throughout the story as she struggles to come to terms with what it means to be in a relationship with a man as a newly out bisexual woman. She faces hurtful comments from others and questions what it looks like to be bi or queer, as well as where she belongs. However, ultimately, she comes to understand that she is bisexual regardless of who she is dating because queerness comes from within. While it seems like a simple and obvious message, it's one that we don't often see in books, especially those centered around adult characters. This book is just so abundantly bisexual and queer, and that's a beautiful, important, and necessary thing to see.

Mom - Dead Fakes & Night Terror are the first two books in the new Bleak Haven YA Horror series by Vincent Ralph. Although these books are part of a series, they are completely different from each other, and there are not even any characters that carryover from one to the next. Accordingly, if you love a series where you never know what to expect from one book to the next, you may enjoy this one. 

In Dead Fakes, a mysterious website suddenly appears that allows users to view their own slasher film-related death. When people start dying for real, the clues point to Ava's late uncle, a notorious murderer.  Ava could never reconcile the uncle she remembered with the man who committed those horrible crimes, and she is determined to uncover the truth of both what is happening now and what happened that night. 

This is an exciting, fast-paced book. It is full of unpredictable twists and turns and has a surprising ending. If you like a bloody, gory, dark horror thriller, you might enjoy this book. If you prefer more psychological terror, you probably will not.

The second book in the series is Night Terror. When masked intruders looking for the legendary Burning Book, which allegedly has a thirst for flesh, break into the mall bookstore where Noah is working, a horror is unleashed that puts anyone in its path in mortal danger.

Whereas the previous book in the series was more of a true-to-life crime story, this book is more of a zombie thriller. Accordingly, if you are not into that sort of thing, you will not enjoy it. It is also loaded with nonstop violent action scenes and would undoubtedly make an exciting film. Thus, if you don't like a lot of violence in your books or you are not good at visualizing action scenes in your head, you may not enjoy it as much. 

Movie: 7 Keys

Today, we are talking about 7 Keys. Lena and Daniel get together when they are both stood up by their dates. They end up spending the night breaking into houses where Daniel has previously lived, since he has kept the keys. However, they are both hiding secrets, but one's secret is infinitely more dangerous.

This is a unique and exciting film full of one shocking twist after another. If you enjoy a dark, gore-filled thriller with a side of romance, you may enjoy this one. However, if you are more sensitive and prefer your terror to be more psychological than physical, you may not. 

And that's our view.  Dead Fake and Night Terror were published last Tuesday, January 20, 2026. See You at the Summit was published today. 7 Keys is available On Demand starting today.

Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday.
