This novella is erotic horror. Ehvy is our main character, she is a medical examiner, a bit quirky, she has been having odd dreams. She goes on a tour at an old manor and realizes the deceased lady of manor who she sees herself as in the dreams. She meets the current owner of the manor, and he has been in her dreams too, sexually. Little does she know, he is a Vampire. The story unfolds from here. It’s spicy, bloody, sexy and a sucking good time. Great read, and I would recommend to anyone who likes it spicy and can handle some blood. Don’t be intimidated by the trigger warnings.
