10 Reasons to Read The Reanimator’s Fate

December 7, 2025December 7, 2025 Kara JorgensenLeave a comment

Now that we are less than two months away from the release of The Reanimator’s Fate (TRM #4), I wanted to give you a few reasons why you should read it (or look forward to it):

Community– this book has a lot of focus on community, the importance of it, the different ways we are in community with each other in small spaces and the world at large.
Cursed objects– while there aren’t any haunted dolls or cursed gems stolen during colonization, there is some new magic in the way of curses, an antiquated method of magic that packs a punch.
Books, libraries, words– last book was very textile heavy, and this book is definitely more focused on the impact of books and words and the way we contain and share knowledge.
The origins of the Paranormal Society– we finally get some more background about how the Paranormal Society came to be and how it functions as a supernatural entity. It’s a little weird.
A look to the future– this story is very much about how we impact the world around us on a micro and macro level, so with fate being involved, there’s a lot of talk about Oliver, Felipe, and Gwen’s futures.
Growing some spines– as the cover may suggest, Oliver and Felipe both grow a spine and stand up to some people, real or imagined, in order to become someone new.
Felipe confronts some inner demons– this was definitely hinted at in book 3, but Felipe is facing down more of his inner demons and finally taking them on.
Prophecies– the prophecy from “An Unexpected Evening” rears its head. If you haven’t read that short story yet, I highly recommend doing so, especially since it’s free!
Oliver gets to tell people off– I don’t know about everyone else, but I really enjoy when Oliver finally snaps and goes off on people who deserve it. In this book, we have more than Oliver pops-off incident. Conversely, he also does a lot of heavy lifting for Felipe emotionally in this book, which feels like a good balance.
This is the final novel in the Reanimator Mysteries series– while there will be a short story collection with all of the in-between stories and several brand new ones, The Reanimator’s Fate is the last big story I have planned for Oliver and Felipe, so I hope you will come and see them off.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, I hope you’ll preorder The Reanimator’s Fate, coming out on January 29th. You can get it all major retailers, and the paperback will be out in January.

Or start the series with The Reanimator’s Heart in ebook, audiobook, or paperback (and in library systems).

The Reanimator’s Fate Cover Reveal

November 23, 2025November 23, 2025 Kara Jorgensen1 Comment

Today is the day we have all been waiting for, the cover reveal for The Reanimator’s Fate (TRM #4). Crowglass Design has outdone himself with the cover for The Reanimator’s Fate! The cover is *chef kiss* and captured the strain the boys are under in the final installment of the Reanimator Mysteries series.

If you haven’t read book one, you can start the series in ebook, audiobook, or paperback, or you can grab book 2 or book 3 in any of those formats. I also have a sale going exclusively on Itch.io where you can get each ebook for $1.99 until the end of November.

The Reanimator’s Fate is the fourth book in the Reanimator Mysteries series and will be out January 29th, 2026. You can preorder the ebook now at all major retailers, and the paperback will be available in January closer to release day.

Check out the cover, current content warnings, blurb, and preorder link below:

An autistic necromancer, his undead love, and a future in peril

The Paranormal Society has been Oliver’s home for over a decade, yet he still isn’t sure where he fits. At Gwen’s suggestion, Oliver joins the mutual aid committee, but between misunderstandings, sabotage, and a life-changing proposition, Oliver once again fears he is out of his depth. At least there’s one thing he can count on: Felipe and the cases they solve together.

Felipe has always been the one everyone can depend on, but after years of bloodshed, fighting, and death, the cracks are beginning to show. The gruesome cases that once sustained him, now fill him with dread to the point that he questions how long he can keep going before he breaks. But if he isn’t a weapon, then what good is he to anyone?

A sinister plot against magical folks is unfolding, one that threatens to destroy the Paranormal Society from the inside. Can Oliver and Felipe grow into the men they were always meant to be, or will their doubt spell their doom?

CWs include but are not limited to: Murder, descriptions of corpses/autopsies, on page sexual content, ableism against autistics, suicidal ideation, violence, blood, gore, anxiety attack, medical peril

the cover for The Reanimator's Fate by Kara Jorgensen. The background is black with purple and white accents. In the center is a book with a ribcage and spine that lines up with the book spine. Around it are suns, moons, and a dagger. On either side of the book is a man reaching desperately for the man on the other side. A tether of lines joins their chests

As much as I hate to write the last novel for Oliver and Felipe, I absolutely love the cover Crowglass Design has come up with. I think he has knocked it out of the park, and I hope you all love the book as much as I do. You can preorder it at all major retailers or add it on Goodreads. The preorder link is a universal link that will take you to Amazon, B&N, Kobo, and more.

Paperbacks will be available in January closer to release day, and the audiobook will be out in spring or early summer of 2026.

There will be a book of collected short stories for Oliver, Felipe, Gwen, and several other reader favorites coming out in late 2026 as well, so stay tuned for that!

Here is the new blurb for The Reanimator’s Fate:

At Gwen’s suggestion, Oliver joins the mutual aid committee, but between misunderstandings, sabotage, and a life-changing proposition, Oliver once again fears he is out of his depth.
