Book Blurb:


You never see the claws until you feel them.

Chase has been taking care of headstrong Tiffany since he turned her into a vamp. When she does the unforgiveable, he whisks her away into hiding. She hopes their bond will go from maker and child to lovers, but there’s a looming presence that won’t let them ride off into the moonlight together. Or let them go unpunished.


Witch Bitch:

An afternoon spent with friends and new girlfriend Luna, has Mason feeling hopeful about the future, after his struggle with depression.

Too bad, for a city full of women, his soul searching takes him to an even darker place. Two is company, three is murder.


My Review:


Get ready for some spine-tingling reads in this romantic horror anthology. Is romantic horror a genre yet? If not, Tamela Miles just invented it. Each of these short stories is a delicious blend of horror and paranormal romance. Each story is a complete tale with a tight cast of characters and a spooky plot. You’ll swoon as you scream in terror.


The Swinging Tree is such a well written story. The ghostly haunting is creepy and sent chills down my spine. The characters are realistic and relatable.


Hands Clean is one of those tales that’ll stick with you. Very well written with a plot most everyone will relate to. Quick reading as I couldn’t put it down.


Be Home by Sunrise is a vampire romance with a twist. I connected with Tiffany right away. There’s a morality vibe to this spooky tale that I found refreshing.


Witch Bitch is a magical tale you won’t soon forget. I got goosebumps while reading. I connected with the characters, especially Mason.


Paper Dolls is one of those stories that will fill your heart with terror. In Sin City, this tale oozes horror of the worst kind. Such brilliant writing in a short story is difficult to pull off but Tamela Miles pulls out all the stops.


My Rating: 5+ stars
