The Secret History meets Lie with Me in Micah Nemerever's compulsively enjoyable debut novel - a feverishly taut Hitchcockian story about two college students, each with his own troubled past, whose escalating obsession with one another leads to an act of unspeakable violence.
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. Paul will stop at nothing to prove himself worthy of their friendship, because with Julian life is more invigorating than Paul could ever have imagined. But as charismatic as he can choose to be, Julian is also volatile and capriciously cruel, and Paul becomes increasingly afraid that he can never live up to what Julian expects of him.
As their friendship spirals into all-consuming intimacy, they each learn the lengths to which the other will go in order to stay together, their obsession ultimately hurtling them toward an act of irrevocable violence.
Unfolding with a propulsive ferocity, These Violent Delights is an exquisitely plotted excavation of the depths of human desire and the darkness it can bring forth in us.

Histoire
Cutthroat political consultant Thom Morgan is thriving, working on the governor of California’s presidential campaign. If only he didn’t have to deal with Clay Parker, the infuriatingly smug data analyst who gets under Thom’s skin like it’s his job. In the midst of one of their heated and very public arguments, a journalist snaps a photo, but the image makes it look like they’re kissing. As if that weren’t already worst-nightmare territory, the photo goes viral—and in a bid to secure the liberal vote, the governor asks them to lean into it. Hard.

Histoire
In 2013, the Toronto Police Service announced that the disappearances of three men—Skandaraj Navaratnam, Abdulbasir Faizi, and Majeed Kayhan—from Toronto's gay village were, perhaps, linked. On January 18, 2018, Bruce McArthur would be arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, and later sentenced for the murders of eight men. This book tells the complete story of the McArthur murders. Based on more than five years of in-depth reporting, this is also a story of police failure, of how the queer community responded, and the story of the eight men and the lives they left behind.

I’m a man with too many secrets, so the last thing I need is a new roommate with a sexy smile and blue eyes that see right through me. Eight years ago, Roderick left town after high school. We’re not friends. I owe him nothing. But back then, I let one of my secrets slip, and he’s the only one who noticed. Part of me knows I should run far, far away. But the other part wants him to come upstairs and spend the night. But if I let him in, I could lose everything.

Excellent, suspenseful, searing.
All the ingredients of a passionate tortuous love story with tragic implications and resolution. Calls to mind the writing of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Evelyn Waugh and Edmund White.

Wow!
My! This was so good and also so tragic. Holy toxic relationship, batman! They were fascinating and heartbreaking.
Looking forward to more books from this terrific author.
Also, the narrator was out of this world good. Seriously. Never did I encounter someone who could so perfectly embody eat character's voice. It felt like a full cast of performers.

An Intellectual Novel of Toxic Codependence and Unspeakable Violence
This is my favourite book of all-time. I’ve read it at least once a month since I bought a hardcover copy in June of 2021, and every time I read it, I still find something new within its pages, and always feels like the first time.
The audiobook, in its 14-hour glory is no exception. Micah Nemerever’s words are given new life by narrator Michael Crouch, who manages to give each character a unique voice, and he’s able to perfectly capture every emotion in each line of dialogue. I couldn’t have asked for a better narrator for this audiobook.
This story is completely all-consuming, from the knowing dread of the prologue to one of the most perfect final lines I’ve ever read. These characters will sear themselves permanently into your memory. There’s a reason I re-read or re-listen to this book every month.
Fans of V.E. Schwab and Donna Tartt especially, will definitely not want to miss this!
