<strong>This is such a special book of short stories</strong>
This book of short stories about Black Love and magic is amazing. The author had me captured from page one, sentence one. The first story, Blood Ties made me cry because it was beautiful for so many different reasons. After the first story, I knew I was going to finish this book in one sitting. Every story stands on it own and could easily be it’s own full length book ( and I definitely slid in the authors dms and told her that). This book has passionate Black Love, Cautionary Tales, Speculative Romance, Black Sapphic Love, some fantasy,—EVERYTHING is between these pages and I highly recommend reading this book.
