I'm feeling some major Halloween vibes right now so all I want to read are gothic romances and vampires, and HER SOUL TO TAKE was, like, exactly what I needed in this moment to scratch the itch. Not only is it a deliciously smutty story about a demon with a degradation kink, it's also darkly atmospheric, with cults, demons, eldritch horrors, sacrifices, creepy small towns, and cannibalism. Wooooo.
I actually don't have too much to say about this one, to be honest, mostly because I think it's best to go in cold (unless you need to review the trigger warnings). For a horror romance, it's pretty lite on the actual horrors; I think the biggest triggers are probably the degradation scenes and the nipple piercing. The romance itself is actually pretty sweet once it gets rolling and the banter is top-tier, even as it shifts from enemies to lovers. Loved Rae's alt girl blogger vibe and the shenanigans Leon got up to with his fork tongue. The cemetery "dining" scene will be living rent-free in my head for a while. Also, there's a chubby kitty named Cheesecake that lives.
Can't wait to read more of their work.
4.5 out of 5 stars
