Lovely Dark and Deep is book 1 of a dark urban fantasy that sucks you in from the very first line. Its terrifyingly creepy plot captured my mind and kept me on edge the entire time.

Things I LOVED about this book
🖤 Strong Female MC
🖤 The family dynamic
🖤 Stranger Things vibes
🖤 Chilling mystery element
🖤 Modern eerie and dark setting

I am a very visual person, so I mostly watch fantasy rather than read it due to the genre's tendency for overwhelming worldbuilding, but everything about this book is captivating.

Cain's superb writing swept me away, igniting my mind with vivid imagery and a darkly alluring atmosphere. It's such an easy and inviting read and I couldn't help but bond with Cass and her siblings, who I now want to protect with all of my soul. I have found my new fave series and there is nothing you can say to change my mind!

Oh and let's not forget that cliffhanger! 😱 🤯
Thankfully, book 2 will be available from 30 Aug, so you won't have to wait long to scratch that itch. (Psst, it's flipping perfection! My review will be coming soon so keep an eye out )
