Eater of Lives

Spectr #4 / 6
by Jordan L. Hawk
Eater of Lives (Spectr #4) by Jordan L. Hawk
Unrated

When a supernatural killer is implicated in a string of cannibalistic murders, federal exorcist John Starkweather must track the demon down with the help of his live-in lover, Caleb Jansen. Caleb is possessed by Gray, a vampire spirit who is a natural demon hunter.

Caleb’s desire to find the killer is tempered by the knowledge his own time is running out. If John can’t successfully figure out how to exorcise Gray before forty days are up, the possession becomes permanent.

When John’s ex shows up, looking for a place to stay while visiting the city on business, tensions mount even higher. Lines are drawn, and Caleb learns that some decisions, once made, can never be changed.

Jordan L. Hawk

Jordan L. Hawk didn’t set out to become one of the most beloved voices in queer paranormal fiction—but once they began weaving tales of haunted pasts, dangerous rituals, and fiercely loyal love, there was no turning back. Blending supernatural suspense with rich emotional depth, their stories have quietly reshaped the landscape of LGBTQ+ speculative fiction, drawing readers into worlds where magic, monsters, and romance coexist in perfect tension.

Raised in North Carolina, Hawk grew up steeped in folklore and ghost stories, the kind whispered across porches and remembered from yellowed pages. That early fascination with things lurking just beyond the veil shaped their storytelling instincts, but it was their passion for character-driven narratives that gave their work its pulse. Whether conjuring eldritch horrors or reimagining Victorian settings, Hawk always centers the fragile, complex humanity within the fantastical.

Their Whyborne & Griffin series became a quiet phenomenon among readers looking for more than just thrills—delivering tender, sometimes harrowing explorations of identity and love, set against a backdrop of occult mystery. With each book, Hawk built a loyal following not through flashy marketing or literary accolades, but by consistently offering something rare: queer characters who are not only fully realized, but also heroic in their vulnerability.

Hawk writes with a rhythm that feels both grounded and arcane, pulling from gothic tradition while modernizing its sensibilities. Their prose can be lyrical one moment, then tightly coiled with suspense the next, mirroring the emotional push and pull between their protagonists. Beyond Whyborne & Griffin, their Hexworld and SPECTR series continue to expand their signature universe—one where love defies the odds and even death doesn’t always have the final say.

An introvert at heart and self-described history geek, Hawk balances their love of the strange with a deep respect for the past. Their work resonates with those who want their monsters complex, their lovers haunted, and their endings hard-won. Jordan L. Hawk may not court the spotlight, but for those who find their stories, the spell is lasting.
