About this listen

A queer, dark academia YA story about a mysterious boarding school, a brotherhood that must stay in the shadows, and an ancient evil that could tear it all apart.

In the fall of 1991, Zooey Orson transfers to the Blackfriars School for Boys hoping for a fresh start following a scandal at his last school. However, he quickly learns that he isn’t the only student keeping a secret. Before he knows it, he’s fallen in with a group of boys who all share the same secret, one which they can only express openly within the safety of the clandestine gatherings of the Vicious Circle—the covert club for gay students going back decades. But when the boys unwittingly happen upon the headmaster’s copy of an arcane occult text, they unleash an eldritch secret so terrible, it threatens to consume them all.

A queer paranormal story set during the still-raging AIDS crisis, Fraternity examines a time not so long ago when a secret brotherhood lurked in the shadows. What would Zooey and his friends do to protect their found family?

The story felt a little slow in places but made for it later down the line.

It’s rare that I find a book I struggle to put down after a reading session, but this one has earned its place among the few. I loved and routed for the main characters, I laughed and I cried. I felt like I was right there throughout it all. Many chapters had me on the edge of my seat. The characters and their relationships felt so real. And the performances were outstanding. I felt for the characters and all that they experienced. I really hope there is a sequel!

One of the best, most engaging books I’ve ever read
