5 star review reading: β€œThe perfect blend of spice and horror” This book takes many dark and chilling themes and a creepy setting and blends them together with the spice just perfectly. I loved the romances between Meya and her two loves and how both unfolded differently but just as naturally. When we meet Meya, she is already on the run and just trying to survive, the full weight of what she has endured has not yet hit her when even more trauma comes her way. This book is about vampires and steamy romance, yes. But it's also about Meya re-learning how to be a human being and finding herself again after so much hardship has beaten her down. There is a scene at the start that sticks in my mind because even those the people who hurt Meya are dead, it's clear she still doesn't feel safe yet; her mind is still living through the trauma even though her body is safe (or as safe as it can be in the castle of a vampire....). This is true for most trauma survivors. It takes a long time for the mind to finally realize the danger is past and this was so perfectly portrayed in this book. Come for the spice and horror, stay for the healing and trauma recovery. ~Β Lily

4 star review reading: Erotica and horror can make for entertaining bedfellows, but they can be a difficult act to balance. If the story leans too heavily into horror, it can make the erotic scenes feel tawdry, there to shock the audience as much as the acts of violence. If its eroticism is the overpowering factor, it can make the horror itself feel cheap, giving it a B-grade type of feel. Thankfully, My Lord by L.B. Shimaira manages to balance these two components, ensuring both aspects complement each other. With a strong sense of character that examines its protagonist’s trauma as it tells a story about her growth, My Lord becomes something stronger than a simple combination of erotica and horror. ~ W.A. Stanley

5 star review reading: I just put this book down, and β€œWOW” is all I can say. I didn’t know what to expect going into this other than a dark fantasy full of polyamory and queer themes, but that’s just from what I know about the author. This book takes the reader into a dark fantasy world where men aren’t what they seem, human servants are disposable commodities, and love is found in the most unlikely of places. Whatever you’re thinking, this book will take you elsewhere. You won’t expect it, but you’ll love the ride. The mystery behind the darkness is worth wading into it, and the intrigue behind every twist and turn will have you turning the page with anticipation, wanting more. Shimaira has penned a frightening story with BDSM aspects and polyamorous love, all with consent at the front and center. There are content warnings for this book that one should heed, but it is a lot of bloody fun. ~Β DanielΒ Aegan

Poem text against black background with skull image: Sarah Doyle Night dances her Dance of the Dead, darkens her eyes with bold kohl, thinks I Shadow, laughs privately. Night is bone-bare, holds out a finger for Moth to still himself - but Moth, electrified, craves only Moon. Moon wears her Sunday best, drapes mist over an exposed shoulder, experiments with gold highlights, and is pleased. Moon feels her own fading, becomes raggedy-fragile, shying from the brassy Sun; listens, bitterly, to birdsong. *First published by Black Bough Poetry #darkpoetsclub #shortlist
