A review by exorcismofemilyreed
The Eighth by Stephanie M. Wytovich
3.0
"It was comforting to see another's regret spattered all over their face, especially when it was their own blood."
I want to say upfront that this book is a dark romance, and I am not the ideal reader / reviewer for this subgenre. I think I was expecting a bit more horror, which is why I picked it up. I'm also a huge fan of Stephanie Wytovich's poetry, so I was going to read it no matter what it was about.
Stephanie writes so well, and that's evident here, but I just struggled to get into the plot. That has to do with my own preferences, not her storytelling. I liked the concept of the book, but it was too heavy on the romance aspect for me to really be invested. If you like the religious aspects from season 5-ish of Supernatural combined with dark romance, you should definitely pick this one up.
