The Widows Monster

"This book is for fans of gothic romance, dark atmosphere, lovers of beauty and the beast, and those who love good love triangle/why choose tension. Bonus points if you like your heroines older and wiser." The Gerstoff Woods are no place for a proper woman to live, but Ailénor Deniaud has not been proper or right for some time. Stripped of nearly everything after the death of her husband, Lord Renaldeen Trauston, Ailénor starts a new life for herself on the edge of the dark forest and away from the judging eyes of Krágen's citizens. Winter approaches, and Ailénor struggles everyday against the elements and her own sorrow, while those who helped put her in her new life still walk the city streets with heads held high. But when a dark beast of the woods arrives in her clearing and sets its sight on her, she finds her heart torn between a cursed shifter and the man hunting him. Through it all, Ailénor may just find the chance for survival and love... And revenge on those who hurt her the most. "I cannot stress enough how much I loved this book. It scratched that gothic lit itch that I’ve been trying to fulfill and was easily a five star for me. I genuinely hope Campbell writes more books like this one soon. If you like love triangles, brooding lawmen, a seductive beasts, and a woman coming undone between them, this book is seriously worth picking up." "This book wrecked me in the best way. If you love gothic vibes, morally grey monsters, and heroines who burn the world down for what they love…this one is for you. 💀🖤" "If you love broken characters, tragic tension, and worldbuilding that feels like a spell, read this. It’s not a comfort book. It’s a catharsis." More from S.M. Campbell Corrupted Tides: Eldritch Depths Book 1
