Jsin Graham has made quite the impression with this short, but exceptionally sensual novella. My only criticism is that this book started off a bit too slow for a novella, however the pay off in the end was worth it. Understandably, it took awhile for me to become fully invested in this unique story as a slower pace is the way to go when building up supernatural elements and tension. Quite a few great themes touched on within this short story, so I look forward to seeing what Graham is capable of with a full length novel. Overall, quite impressed with what I read and I look forward to seeing the author growth and expansion of his catalogue.
