Night Skins: Tall Tales of a Black American Princess

by KD Blade

In the dark forest of Sweetwater, magic is real and love will eat you alive...
Genna Bellwether is a Black American Princess. She lives in a castle, rides horses, is a world traveler, and can turn into a coywolf, a coyote-wolf hybrid. When Genna loses her temper, things catch on fire.
Her best friend is a boo hag, a skin witch, who has lived in the forest next to her castle since Lewis & Clark trekked across Pennsylvania.
Katie McBride is a vampire princess who lives on the other side of the forest. Katie wants Genna to be her bride. The McBrides want the Bellwether fortune, which comes from a cursed gold mine.
Genna said no. No one says no to a vampire. Not for long.
Genna must protect herself, her family, and her castle from vampires, werewolves, witches, and the townspeople of Sweetwater.

It took me a little while to get accustomed to Blade’s frenetic writing style, but the action grabbed me immediately and didn’t let go. The characters are powerful and fascinating and the descriptions of both luxury and magic are lush and rich. And the spicy scenes WHEW top notch. The author handles nuanced discussions of generational trauma with grace and incisive honesty. It’s so raw, and I am fully obsessed with this book!
