Thank you to CLASH Books for providing a review copy.
I was absolutely blown away by Victoria Dalpe's short story collection, Les Femmes Grotesques, last year. I jumped on the chance to review Selene Shade, and I was not disappointed. This book leans very much into horror urban fantasy, and I really enjoyed it. I've been reading some really heavy books lately, and this was a nice change of pace. The lore and world-building is really cool. Even though there is some romance, I didn't find it too annoying. 4.25 stars
