★ ""I will now be staring at a wall for the foreseeable future. Literally sitting here at a loss for words. Having a moment of, wow that was an absolute masterpiece of a read. I NEVER wanted it to end. How do I move on... How do I put words together to truly convey ALL that this book was for me..."" -- Kaylareadsallthetime ★ ""BE STILL, MY GOTHIC HEART... I'm a huge fan of the Brothers Grimm, and this story had me feeling as though I stepped through a portal right into one of those atmospheric and disturbing tales. But more complex and intense... and romantic. This exceptional blend of true darkness and horror with classic elements of fantasy and romance is absolutely intoxicating to me and exactly what I want when I reach for ""dark fantasy romance""!"" -- Tatianna, Goodreads ★ ""I. AM. SPEECHLESS. Just wow! Maevyth is so mouthy and peculiar. She was such a compelling female character. Zevander is just so moody and broody throughout the story, and when that possessiveness kicks in, man, he is unrivaled ... If you love it dark, broody, and gothic, I promise you will not be disappointed."" -- Kyndra, Goodreads reviewer ★ ""Spectacular ... This dark high fantasy, that reminds me of the Witcher, is without a doubt, one of the best books I have read this year. The gothic atmosphere, the details in the world building and lore, the magic system, the intricate plot, the character development, everything was so well executed and just incredible."" -- Blackclaws, Goodreads reviewer ★ ""This is GOTHIC DARK FANTASY! Immaculate dark fantasy vibes all around ... This is just an EPIC dark fantasy world with an intricate and fascinating plot. This story has different realms, species/creatures, races and a unique magic system. We also get lots of horror elements."" -- Kayla M., Goodreads reviewer ★ ""This one's for the goth girls ... The world of Anathema is a literal gothic dream. Dark, captivating, mysterious to no end ... It's the kind of book that makes you feel seen, makes you feel at home in all your dark, twisted glory."" -- OfWitchBrew, Goodreads reviewer ★ ""Riveting storytelling with the elements of fantasy, tortured dark heroines and heroes, mages, monsters, and Eating Woods. The extravagant world-building keeps the reader engrossed, challenged, and on baited breath every chapter. I did not want to put it down!"" -- Amuse Me Books Blog ★ ""She blew my expectations out of the water... Anathema was dark and delicious with well-placed horror elements, all the while riddled with palpable tension between Maevyth and Zevander. Their romance is a delectably delicious slow burn and will continue into the second book in the Eating Woods duology."" -- Annica, Goodreads reviewer ★ ""The depth of the world is riveting, astounding and crafted with such attention to detail, the reader cannot help but be fully engaged ... Anathema was everything my soul has been searching for. My new obsession. My happy place. My dream world."" -- Sarietales, Goodreads reviewer
