I liked to introduce myself before any dives into my novel. It was written with real world scenarios and situations, some of which I have firsthand experienced. This book is a dark paranormal romance with a strong female lead. There is descriptive death and violence portrayed throughout. Very strong language and explicit sexual scenes.

I also would like to make my readers aware that I am a first generation Caribbean American and my characters range from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds due to the diversity of my family and there are nods to significant historical finds throughout.

Also there will be deep dives in mental health and abuse. If anything I have described is not to your liking then this is not the book for you. There will be a second installment that will be much darker than this one and will depict a rape scene the first few opening chapters.

There also will be foot notes to certain chapters for a song that fits the main focus of that chapter. An anthology page is also being listed to help with key terms used throughout the second book as well.

Out of Many, One people.
