I loved this book, which shouldn't be surprising since I've enjoyed all her of her other books. But this one definitely stood out for more than a few reasons.

First, it's a romance horror or horror romance depending on how you view it. I never really know which genre should go first in a blending one. Is it the one the for which the author is best known for or alphabetically? Either way it's both and it does balances both phenomenally. There were a few moments (coughs in Chapter Nine) where I would see how it started and be like "No, no, no, not starting that tonight." My dreams are vivid y'all and I don't need help with my nightmares thank you.

Second, Black love. Always love to see it, especially when both protagonists are roughly my age and not young twenty-somethings.

Third, it was a strong story. It really was. The horror was there without being overbearing and while it had a happy ending (which it had to cause romance) the horror was nothing to scoff at either especially if you're one who likes atmospheric horror. It's got that in spades.

All in all, again LOVED this book. I will definitely re-read it and hopefully Helen gets her own story soon. Because I would love to hear more about her.
