Rusalochka’s True Tale: A Dark Slavic Fairy Tale of Love and Sacrifice
by Gemma Ray (Goodreads Author) |
|
| As both a romance writer and a history teacher, I found Rusalochka’s True Tale completely enchanting. It blends the emotional depth of a love story with the rich atmosphere of Slavic folklore in a way that feels timeless and deeply human. The romance ...more | |

| I thought that this collection was haunting, but in the best way. Each story dives deep into one of the deadly sins, blending horror with real human emotion. Some were eerie and subtle, others downright chilling. I especially loved the Southern Gothi ...more | |

“Sometimes people rise above their past, sometimes not. And sometimes the people you least expect it from—like Raylan and my father—have a way of surprising you in the end.”
― Fated to Love You
― Fated to Love You
“I want you to know I have never loved anyone like I love you. More than Darcy loved Elizabeth or Heathcliff loved Cathy. I just don’t want to make you a widow.”
“I never really understood why Brontë is considered to be a romance writer. We were required to read Wuthering Heights in high school and I always believed that her novel showcased the bleakest aspects of human nature. The story provided readers with a small yet unforgettable glimpse into the depths of human cruelty. Personally, I never considered the story romantic because the love shared between Cathy and Heathcliff was fatal, not just for themselves but for those around them. Their souls were incompatible, and they were a toxic pairing. Despite their love, passion, jealousy, and desire for connection, they were unable to recognize this fact.”
“I was never a fan of Victorian romance novels.”
“It was never one of my favorites. It’s often viewed as one of the great romance novels of all time, but I think it represents something darker: the fatal, selfish side of love, obsession, and abuse. To this day, I have not encountered a more accurate depiction of how love can become selfish.”
“Why do you say that?” Xuan asked.
“Because I think you have to love someone in the way that I love you to truly understand what love means... and to understand how wrong the story is. My soul and yours are the same in a way that Catherine and Heathcliff’s could never be. Widow or not, I will never stop loving you, Xuan. You have mesmerized me. My very soul has been entangled completely by you over these past three years. If Brontë or Austen could write the greatest love story of all time they’d write our story. And whether you marry me or not, how I feel about you will never change.”

“Xuan being there didn’t make any sense. This wasn’t a fairy tale. Handsome boys don’t just magically appear screaming your name the moment you need them.”
