All Saints Hotel and Cocktail Lounge

By: Nathan Monk

Narrated by: Nathan Monk

Murder. Mayhem. Millennials. What was supposed to be a night of hope and change unwittingly launches an adventure into chaos as five friends uncover a dark past, a secret society, and a sinister plan.

Leo, Joy, Shane, Clementine, and Nick have known each other since high school, but life has taken each of them in vastly different directions. Our story begins as they all gather together to celebrate the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

In Nathan Monk's latest novel, he weaves together a story that spans decades set against the backdrop of friendships built around a neighborhood bar. Using his powerful storytelling and immersive characters, he transports us through the troubles of the millennial dilemma. The All Saints Hotel and Cocktail Lounge is a stunning story of collective trauma. The audiobook travels through time looking at major events from 9/11 and the Columbine Massacre to the technology boom through the lens of an unsuspecting cast of characters who are simply attempting to survive a world that doesn’t seem built for them.

This Southern Gothic tale confronts some of the darkest parts of our modern history and takes the listener on a journey through the perils of the Great Recession, the Occupation of Wall Street, and right up the edge of a global pandemic that will transform the world as we know it. Who will survive the unprecedented events that unfold? Not even student debt is as perilous as the adventure you are about to embark on. No amount of cutting back on avocado toast and caramel lattes can save you from the dangers ahead.

In his unique style, Nathan creates characters that are at times hard to like but impossible not to love. This tale is full of betrayal, romance, and kitchen grease as this ragtag group of friends attempt to make the world a better place and are confronted with the question, “Do we even have the power to make any meaningful change at all and if not, is there even hope?”

Pull up a barstool, light ’em if you got ’em, and pour yourself a tall glass of suspense and romance masquerading as casual sex as you journey into the seedy halls of the All Saints Hotel and Cocktail Lounge.

LOVED IT SO F-ING MUCH

A gorgeously heartbreaking tale of loves, losses and revelations. I absolutely adore Father Nathan Monk's reading of this beautiful book, as if we were sitting at the big round table with a couple of drinks and he was telling me a story. Going now, to listen to it again.

An Authentic Triumph Over Difficulties

Very proud of what Father Nathan Monk has done by not only writing this book, but going ahead to create meaningful representation of a highly misrepresented community and setting an example of hope for all in the community he represented who are usually told “you can’t”!

How A Dream Wrecked Me

I loved this book. The author's voice was so true and even though I'm Gen X, it resonated with my feelings about the world we are living in. The dream sequence was so short, but it meant so much me. Thank you for not listening to the people who told you that you were less than.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

This was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to listen again. Thank you for sharing with the world, Father Nathan.

Bukowski reincarnated as a Leo

Yes, Bukowski was a poet, Leo is not. The angst, joy and rapture of the 90s and beyond that Leo navigates us through is wonderful and heart wrenching. Nathan is masterful at character development with all genders. A powerful work that pulls at your heart strings leaving you crying in one chapter and will leave you cheering in the next chapter.

I highly recommend this book. I look forward to hearing Nathan’s latest book and hope He reads it.
Enjoy!!
