Kris Ripper has a new book series out called Queers of La Vista, and you absolutely need to be reading it. This soap opera-inspired series set in the fictional small town of La Vista, CA is home to a diverse and engaging cast of characters… and a murderer who is preying on the La Vista queer community.

Mel calls it “fabulous” and “[her] favourite so far” in the QOLV series (check out her five-star review here)! Each book can be read as a stand-alone.
