What do you get when UP meets The Notebook and then have a baby with Don't Go in the Basement (Goosebumps) meets Alfred Hitchcock ???
You get Whispers of Apple Blossoms!!!
This romantic horror story will have you flipping through your emotions rolodex trying to figure out what it is you are feeling. In moments where you are enjoying the love story between Henry and Edna you still have a sense of dread knowing there is no such thing as happy endings in horror.
I felt love, joy, sadness, anger, dread, fear, claustrophobia, confusion, and everything in between. My head continuously came up with guesses on where the story was going and every single time I was wrong.
This story is so beautifully and lyrically tragic. Add this to my top reads ever!! If it does not become a movie...I will be disappointed because its such a consuming story with everything anyone could possibly want in a Romance - Horror mashup!!
Thank you so much Brett Mitchell Kent (with Lethe Press) for sending me my very first physical ARC and more importantly for sharing such an amazing story with me and the world!!! I can not wait for your next masterpiece!
