I love how this story is written. Stephanie has such a skill with these little one-liners that really pack a punch and they are placed so perfectly throughout the story. The use of the prompts works really well and I especially love the witchy-vibes that Stephanie adds in the second chapter. Fumiko and Rose are interesting characters and I'm excited to see where they go as the story progresses.

A regular museum worker one day, Raul Mendez finds his life turned upside down when he gets dragged into a supernatural grapple for power that threatens to plunge the world into eternal darkness.

Goose Thoughts

The supernatural element in this story works incredibly well and I love how easily it fitted into the more mundane aspects that we see early on. Raul is such a fun character. His reactions to everything that was happening to him were hilarious, especially his reluctance to accept it as reality. It was a lot of fun and felt very realistic. I can't wait to see where this story goes.

In 1814, Lady Marienne is left for dead on the streets of London. With her final breath, she makes an oath to the Goddess of Darkness, cursing herself to an eternity as a vampire. 

Marienne's lover, believing her to be truly gone, flings herself to her own demise. Lady Marienne rises from the grave to find that the love of her life has ended hers. In her moment of despair, she calls upon the Goddess of Moons to bring back her lost love, cursing her to reincarnate as a werewolf.

Eighty years later, Marienne tracks down the reincarnated Lady Elisabeta, only to find that she has no memory of her past life and is now engaged to a Mr. Jonathan Harker. 

Marienne will take back her lost love, even if it means setting the world on fire. Lovers reunite in a dark entwining of souls; a morbid wedding of ghouls and ghosts.

Jamie's worldbuilding in this story is so good. They do such a great job at making it seem entirely ordinary for the most part and then throw in the fantasy elements of the story throughout the chapters. Each chapter comes with a hysterical chapter title that describe the chapter perfectly. Marienne and Elisabeta are interesting characters and I really liked their relationship. It shall be interesting to see where it goes from here.
