About this listen

A sweet sapphic romance takes a deadly dark turn in this sharp-as-a-knife novella with the slow build menace of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber—from a New York Times-bestselling author hailed by Chuck Wendig as "a storyteller working at the top of her class."

Rosemary meets Ash at the farmers' market. Ash—precise, pretty, and practically perfect—sells bars of soap in delicate pastel colors, sprinkle-spackled cupcakes stacked on scalloped stands, beeswax candles, jelly jars of honey, and glossy green plants.

Ro has never felt this way about another woman. With Ash, she wants to be her and have her in equal measure. But as her obsession with Ash consumes her, she may find she's not the one doing the devouring . . .

Told in lush, delectable prose, this is a deliciously dark tale of passion taking an unsavory turn . . .

Contains mature themes.

This book seemed to have a slow burn but constantly gave me an anxiety about what could go wrong. The description is great and the story seemed to be over far too soon. It's the ending you won't see coming.

Slow but thrilling

Loved the slow beginning and interesting story and plot twist. I would recommend it for those that love to listen to horror and mystery

Great plot twist

The story was entertaining and an easy one to follow. The narrator was off putting and made it hard to get into the book. It was read in a very breathless, sultry way that didn't fit with the story.

Godd story, narration was of putting

I was expecting the dark twist... but then it just kept twisting. Great commentary on boundaries and the implicit biases of women being "softer" or "nicer" than men.

wow

this is a must read for dark romance fans! the love story is so enthralling but there's enough foreshadowing to let you know SOMETHING is coming just not how it will play out. the twist at the end had me gasping and rewinding to make sure I heard it correctly. SO GOOD.

what an ending

It was genuinely refreshing to read as sapphic horror is not a very common genre. Still, unfortunately, I found myself cringing throughout the novel as our protagonist overdid the whole I’m-not-like-other-girls-I-read shtick. We’re also made to believe this woman is a “genius” when we’ve been given not only no reason to think so, but an abundance of evidence in the other direction. Though, I might be biased in disliking our protag because the narrator’s performance was so painfully awkward.

Refreshing but irksome

This book got to me. It's been quite a while since a horror novel did that. I can't recommend it enough. At first I hated the narrator, but I quickly got used to her odd cadence. The narration grew on me. It's not long, give it a go!

Actually Disturbing

the ending

This book is a work of art! I loved the short ‘n sweet chapters, the beautiful language throughout the story was dripping with sensuality, I wanted to jump into the book and be one with those muffins and the muffin maker. I knew whatever was going to happen would be thrilling, and boy was it! Delilah Dawson is a word genius 😉 I wished it would never end! But it was such a lovely little thing and I cannot wait to read it again.

COULD NOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS!!!!
