Review: Sundark

Sundark: An Elle Black Penny Dread - Elizabeth Watasin, JoSelle Vanderhooft

Set in an alternate Victorian era were magic lurks along with creatures that go bump in the night, Elle Black is a psychic investigator. Happy with her wife, her past intrudes when Elle sees a vision of her deceased husband... but how can he be found when she watched him be buried? Unsure if he is a ghost or a figment of her imagination, Elle jumps at the opportunity to investigate a potentially haunted house.

 

Sundark is a well-written and fun novel that combines mystery and horror along with spirituality and LGBT relationships. I don't want to say too much, in the fear of ruining the book, but I will mention that I love the caring and supporting relationship between Elle and Faedra and the way that their marriage is quietly accepted by the other characters we meet, even though who might have looked askance at first. The plot of story is interesting and has enough twists that it isn't obvious what the ending will be, and the pace of the story is perfect, neither dragging nor feeling rushed.

 

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
