Book Description
I think there is a real monster at the haunted house.
Greta
I met the guy of my dreams at the haunted house. Sweet and hot. I want him.
But there’s something hunting me from the shadows. The shadows themselves wrap around my ankles when I’m not paying attention. I’ll have to figure out how to save myself from the them before they catch me for good. On top of that, I have to figure out the mixed signals Eithor is sending me.
How do I save myself and my heart?
Eithor
The light shined so bright that night that I thought they were flood lights. It wasn’t. It was my fated mate.
I crave to eat every emotion from her. Her happiness, desire and more. But she fears the shadows that lap at her feet. She’s running to the witches to get rid of the shadows—me. After a steamy afternoon, I know I can’t control the shadows around her. I will have to tell her the truth.
Will she accept the monster I am.
My Review
Eithor is a shadow monster and when he meets Greta while he's working at a haunted house, he makes her sit and eat something because she got really scared. He asks her out on a date, and they are happily getting to know one another, but she's scared of the shadow tendrils that keep following her around and has no idea that those tendrils are just Eithor because he doesn't tell her. He's afraid she won't be able to accept his true form. She is the light to his darkness.
Greta gets the witches involved when someone at the hospital she works at tells her about the "Nameless" and they fill her head with all kinds of horrors. Eithor should have told Greta what he is when she goes to a store and asks someone about a book on "The Nameless". So she has to make up her mind who to believe and who to trust.
Eithor should have told her the truth of what he was before he tried to have sex with her and then panicked because his shadow tendrils moved on her on their own. He would have had no reason to panic if he'd been truthful with her in the first place. His lying and omitting the truth from her didn't sit right with me at all. But when he was finally truthful and showed her his true form I really liked how he used his tentacles/tendrils. *If you know, you know* Use your imagination. LOL
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
He is super fine.
ReplyDeleteYes, he does have that going for him.
DeleteYeah, no lying thanks
ReplyDeleteHe shouldn't have lied.
DeleteI'm with you on the whole lying/omitting thing.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a bad way to start a relationship.
DeleteVery good
ReplyDeleteIt was fun.
DeleteLOL, sounds like he got his own scary moments because he hadn't come clean with her.
ReplyDeleteHe sure did.

I followed back.
DeleteYou captured the push and pull between Greta and Eithor perfectly—and yes, honesty would have solved a lot, but the tension sure made things interesting. I’m glad the ending landed for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Honesty is the best policy but there always has to be some kind of drama in the middle of these books.
DeleteA good read is always good.
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
DeleteHooray, that's better than the 3 one!
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteAh yes, the withholding vital information trope. That irks me. It annoys me so much that I will IRL tell people things if I think things are being withheld.
ReplyDeleteit irks me too.
DeleteSounds cool! Haha using my imagination ;-)
ReplyDeletelol I couldn't explain it without probably getting flagged.
DeleteI get so disappointed when an author uses predictable plot lines like "you should have told her." But glad it ended up mostly good for you.
ReplyDeleteI do too.
DeleteA better score for this book ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Yes, this was a good read.
