Abyss of Nightmares by Stevie Hostetter

dark emotional

3.5

Overall, the idea is interesting.  The poetry itself is well written and the mix of real and made up phobias is fun.  However, each poem ending with what the phobia was did get repetitive especially with the title also being what the phobia was.  I'm not a huge poetry reader, however, so this stylistic choice could be common in the poetry world.

Thank you to netgalley and St Martins Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a nice, cozy book.  The middle did get a little repetitive with the FMC constantly doubting the MMC for no real reason, but overall reading this book was like getting a warm hug.  Brother's best friend, childhood crushes and  HEA makes a very sweet read.  Very mild spice, more so than fade to black but not over the top.
