Raise the Blood by Nenia Campbell
4.25
Content Warnings: sexual content, blood, gore, death, murder, sexual harassment, sexual assault, attempted rape, torture, misogyny, gaslighting, toxic relationship[s], emotional abuse, and physical abuse.
Mention of: animal death, animal cruelty, death of loved one[s], rape
Wow...this book takes you for a ride!
It's giving "The Invitation" mixed with "Ready or Not"...and more that I'm forgetting at the time 😅
I didn't really know what I was getting into when starting this book...but am I glad I did!
We get a dark romance set mostly in an old Victorian house in a small town...where the whole town seems to have something negative to say about the family that lives in said house.
I love how from the start I was wanting Nadine to give into the flirty Cal and just see what he's all about...but of course when she finally decides to I'm screaming "ABORT! RUN IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION FOR YOUR SAFETY!" 🤣🤣🤣
Ngl I didn't even pay attention to the description of Cal because all I could think about was Thomas Doherty [The Invitation]
This was another book though where I think the leading lady should have forced some groveling from the leading man...knocked him down a few pegs for the treatment he put her through by him...😮💨
Any who...if you're looking for a dark romance with a thriller/mystery/horror film vibe I highly recommend diving into Raise the Blood!
