A Work in Progress
I read and review 52 books a year, both published and self-published works. I am not sure how I came across this book. My review will be directly to the author.
Congratulations J. T. for writing and releasing your book. You have a good story and interesting characters. To take your writing to the next level, I recommend you take advantage of editorial apps and even AI to learn how to improve your writing skills.
Releasing the stories within, is the easy part of writing. The editorial process is challenging and tedious, but essential. If you've had this book edited before you released it, you may want to consider having other editors take a look at it. Sometimes authors have to use multiple editors.
The reason I gave you a 3 star review was because your writing needs several more rounds of editorial revisions. It was challenging to get through the book, because of its need for further editing and revisions.
New authors can't expect to have the same skills as authors who've been writing for decades. Read a lot of their books and learn from them. Enjoy the learning process and keep writing. I wish you the very best.

If you fancy visiting rundown Victorian and Georgian buildings, prepare to shiver. After reading this marvel of dread, decay, and darkness, each time a light flickers, or a scratching sound jolts you, the hairs on your nape will stand on end. The perfectly dark atmosphere Atkinson creates assaults your senses, making you gasp for air, as your skin crawls and you, feeling vulnerable, observed by something perverse, malevolent, ever concocting more horrifying ways to murder you, might try to run away from the shadows—which, surprisingly enough, are not what one should fear the most. Although I wish there were a foreword, to better explain what Malach and Cassiel are or what their agenda is (I presume it would be clearer to someone who read Book 1), the tragic turns and swerves in Katherine Black and Tom Fell’s story desperately attempting to escape impending doom grips you like a claw, bites into your flesh, traps you in an atmosphere so terrifying it redefines what a happy ending could mean to those who follow the wrong star for the sake of love.

A dark gothic tale of having no choice turning into terrible choices again and again
The author has a very stilted style of writing that leaves the reader to infer and make assumptions about who is speaking and what the whole subject matter is.
I was engrossed in where the story was going but I did skim a lot of the repetitive detailing. I ended up enduring to get the ending and see what happened, but I can’t say I would readily pick up another book by this author.
I ended up on this book after reading the first in the series and wanting to know if the author makes a habit of appalling subject matter. I was pleased to find a more traditional sense of horror without using harming children as the plot device.

Strange happenings wrap around two people. Katherine Black and Tom Fell are two people trying to find love among the dark secrets that haunt them. The tale takes readers into a dark world of mystery. I felt the story is well written, with a definite link to horror, but also it's a look at people trying to find love despite what they may also be hiding.

Great sequel
Awesome second book in the series. Really enjoyed it. A must read if you've read the first book. Highly recommended.

It's not easy to hit my "uncomfortable" button or as I like to call it my "ick" reaction. J.T. Atkinson did very well with this. I was uncomfortable all the way through. It's the way we want to feel when we read horror and not many authors manage it when the reader's day job is an occult practitioner.
Katherine is luring young men to their deaths. The creatures she hands these luckless men over to are soulless, supernatural cannibals who like their food kicking and screaming while they eat. When she falls in love with Tom, will she give him up to save herself?
You'll have to read to find out.
