satyrane 's review for:
If I Stopped Haunting You
by Colby Wilkens
I received a free copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press; all opinions expressed are exclusively my own.
This was an interesting read, and mostly enjoyable, but also a little odd. I was left with some very mixed feelings about elements of the story after I was done, but would also gladly give another book by this author a try.
The romance element could use a little more backstory or motivation beyond "one character assaulted another" in the beginning (hitting someone hard enough to leave a scar is a little much to me). There are small points of mentioning that these two characters have a history that I think would have been great much earlier in the book, or if it was clearly stated that the spiritual connection was enhancing their hidden emotions.
All in all, it's a pretty enjoyable romantic story with some really excellent elements, though the conflicting emotions raised by the main characters' relationship did affect my ability to stay in the story.
For sensitive readers, there are supernatural elements, body horror, explicit sex scenes, assault, slurs, and racism.
