Shavonne is a struggling ghost writer, barely making ends meet, living in a poor neighborhood that has recently been stalked by a serial killer. To make matters worse, he has an actual stalker who keeps leaving cryptic messages on his door and somehow things actually get worse, he has a strange new neighbor who spends all of his time in front of Shavonne's door peeling onions of all things. As Shavonne struggles to find a job to help him move as away from his weirdo neighbor, he discovers a dark secret about him, one that leaves him trapped and indebted to a murderer.
This definitely has some promise. It's interesting how Shavonne just kinda does whatever Llewellyn says even before he finds out he's a murderer. He really seems like such a pushover, and yeah I guess he's had a pretty hard life so I suppose it makes a bit of sense that he is attracted to this human that's showing him kindness but I think he gives in too quickly. Llewellyn is freaking weird, though. I mean, I can see him being both the serial killer and the stalker on one hand, but on the other, I really can't. I'd lean more towards the stalker than anything, though. Either way, he definitely creeps me out.
I was intrigued enough that I'll read volume two to see where this goes.
As always, thanks to NetGalley and Yen Press for the eArc!
