In Jamison Shea’s sequel to I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me, our main character, Laure is overly frustrated with her life situation — being a vessel for the Wicked Dark, in I Am the Dark That Answers When You Call. Laure is not a mortal. She knows she has special powers that tend to harm more than help people. She clearly likes this edginess, this ability to control others, since she lost control of other things in her life including friendships and a future career in ballet in the previous book. But little does Laure know the true background to why she’s really in the situation she’s in — not just the pact with Acheron — which explains her deep down anger from the trauma of being abandoned by her mother. Laure will jump back and forth between her above ground Parisian world, which will still include ballet here and there, and the catacombs of Elysium as it decays and threatens her life, which is confusing at times. Ghosts will haunt her. Friends will turn on her. Readers may root for her to survive only to see her commit acts of horror that made this reader shake her head on multiple occasions wondering how this story got published. The mix of a romance into this graphic horror writing felt forced. There’s no suspense. This is an additional purchase if a student asks for it and there’s budget to spend but overall this readers would no recommend it.
