Grace and Blood

by Eric Keys

reviewed by Reed James

“I have always love singing about The Blood. Even as a little girl I always took comfort in the image of being covered by a flowing fountain of blood.”

Gracie is young woman, newly turned eighteen, and working as a babysitter for her handsome neighbor Kevin and his wife. On the surface she’s a normal, young woman, but beneath it she’s sociopath, only wanting to satisfy her own lusts. She has the hots for Kevin, but he’s married and having an affair with Gracie’s own mother. When Gracie encounters a spirit swimming in a dark, forest pool, she sets out to claim all her desires.

Sex and violence are intrinsically linked in Grace and Blood. This young temptress has no qualms killing anyone in her way to get what she desires. Fluids mix and Gracie revels in both blood and semen, often together, as she enjoys her murderous passions.

Grace and Blood has vivid, disturbing imagery that any fan of slasher horror will enjoy this story. Death and eroticism mix from Gracie’s voyeurism to her self-pleasure over her victims to deviant sex with her partner-in-crime. If you like your eroticism to be more visceral, than this is the story for you.

I give it 4 out 5 stars. I felt the supernatural aspects detracted from the story and transformed Gracie into a passive protagonist. For $0.99, Grace and Blood will disturb your eReader with sensual murder.
