Hold My Heart by Koji A. Dae digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Suffering from severe depression, Emma seeks out a serial killer who will kill her in the most gruesome way she can describe. But when she backs out of their agreement, she discovers the murderer is host to a parasitic creature from another dimension that feeds on the extremes of pleasure and pain. When the creature turns its attention to Emma, she is torn between the ecstasy of desire and guilt over her new urges. At the same time the killer, no longer protected from his memories by the creature, has to face a century of gruesome murders, including the death that started everything.

 

Hold My Heart is an uncompromisingly dark horror novella about desire—and the things we'll do to get what we really want.

 

Praise for Hold My Heart:

 

"Seductive to the core. Hold My Heart is an intriguing thrill, its world tinged with noir atmosphere and a passion for grime on skin and tongues on blades. And with a creature too? This is everything you could want from a messed-up threesome."

-- Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth and A Game in Yellow

 

Content Warnings:

Murder, self-harm (cutting), mental health issues (depression), and sexual aphasia.

Hold My Heart Reviews

3.5
“like nothing else ive ever read”
“.. not sure how this story got 4 stars.. Personally, it was just okay for me. It really just felt like a half-hearted fuckfest. Almost Like the author was just trying to be graphic for shock value, yet they didn’t really pull it off. 🤷‍♀️ but I’m also not really into sexually explicit content in books or movies if it doesn’t add somthing to the plot. But to each their own I suppose. This one was just a no for me, dawg.”
“This book was such a great quick read- perfect for those looking for a quick suspenseful, horror, sci-Fi based book. We first meet Emma, who basically hires someone to un-alive her. She meets up with a serial un-aliver, Daniel or D, changes her mind about the deal and D takes her back to his place. Things get sexy instead of deadly, although physically you can see D at war with himself. He lets Emma go, however she wants more. Just before she leaves she witnesses something unearthly, but this doesn’t stop her from wanting more. D is not what he seems and has many secrets- one that controls him body and soul. Although this book was amazing- I really wish it defined when the point of view changed. You can tell the point of view changes because Emma seems to live a more “normal” day to day life and D‘s chapters are more unhinged *I received a free copy of this book via Booksirens in exchange for my honest review*”
