These are the deep, dark fantasies that we hold deep within us. Now both Sinistre Ange and Raisa Greywood have taken those fantasies and put them in print. Increasing my heartbeat, keeping me up late at night telling myself lie after lie that I would only read one more chapter until I finished the book. Sinistre Ange is one of my one-click authors and until this read, I had not heard of Raisa Greywood. That changes as of now. I’ll definitely be checking out her library and put her on my follow list. This is a recommended read for me.
I received this book for an honest review. Raisa Greywood and Sinistre Ange has done a fantastic job with this dark twisted horror stories filled with demons beyond your imagination! These stories were fast paced and will have you living your darkest fantasies. Well done ladies!!! I highly recommend this book if you want to take a ride on the dark side.
A luscious, delectable feast of darkness that will take you to places you never imagined!
Since this is an anthology, I’m going to focus on two of the six stories in this book.
WITCH by Sinistre Ange
Even now, I wonder. Would I do it all again? I was broken, heartsick, grieving, so very naïve. I couldn’t bring them back. Could I avenge them. How? Then I stumbled across it, its siren call pulling me in. So—I did it! I had no idea what I called into being. That night changed everything. Outwardly I’m still Lyana. But now I have limitless power…or do I? WITCH! How could I not have known? I’m no longer that simple village maiden. I knew there was a price. I thought I understood. And did Leonard really try to warn me? I know two things. My soul’s already forfeit. And I will spend eternity with…WHOM? Wait…that’s NOT what I agreed to! Or was it? I should have known. Dancing with a demon is oh, so tempting. Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it!
THE DEVIL’S DOORBELL by Raisa Greywood
“Life is good in Leviticus City.” We’re the fortunate. Newmerica survived. At least that’s what Layman Mark, Mother Judith, Reverend Gabriel…everyone says. Is life really so hard? Not if you’re a man. A woman? Public floggings, canings, even crucifixion aren’t uncommon. And for what? Why are there only Women’s Commandments? Why does a woman have to be pious? Why unquestioning obedience? Why…why…why? My unholy thoughts, actions, sins fill me every day. But it’s okay, right? They can’t see me, read my mind, can they? Then the Sentinels come for me in the dead of night, and I know. Servant Abraham growls out my sentence, “Ruth Tyler shall receive 642 lashes.” Even when Reverend Gabriel steps in to mitigate my sentence, I know it’s the end. Who could have imagined what happens next or what the outcome will be?
This book is filled with the most delicious, decadent, and oh, so very dark stories I may have ever read. The title is absolutely perfect. I loved every word. I don’t know how to tell you just how wonderful all these stories are except to say every single one is perfect. I got pulled into every story, immersed in the wickedness that swirled around me. And it wasn’t just the darkness that pulled me in. This may be a series of short stories, but both Ms. Greywood and Ms. Ange are geniuses. The creativity, world building, depth of character development are incredible. I’ve read full length novels that don’t have this kind of imagination and inventiveness. Every character, major and minor, is inextricably woven into each story. There’s nothing and no one in any of these stories that doesn’t make you shiver. The ending of each story blew my mind…every time! If you like the darker side of romance, you absolutely have to read this book. Raisa Greywood and Sinistre Ange are at the top of their game. I wish I could give it more than five stars. It’s AMAZING!
A final note. This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language, dark themes, and some non-consensual sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. Check the book blurbs and reviews available on Goodreads, BookBub, and Amazon. Use Amazon’s “Send a free sample” feature. I loved this book and can’t recommend it highly enough! Congratulations Raisa Greywood and Sinistre Ange. You just set a new bar for excellence!
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
