High quality & extremely adorable!

Oleander Ambrose is at his finest. Having just come home from two years at Conservatory, he is an adult now. He knows what he wants and he’s ready to begin his life and Juniper is a huge part of that plan. That is until he learns things about his past and must defeat the demons that come with the memories.

Juniper Harlow has always known what she loves and she throws herself into that passion fully. Her greenhouse, she feels safe there. Her plants, she knows how to talk to them. People, not so much…except Oleander. Oleander feels right, she grew up with him after all. But when he comes home from Conservatory a man, suddenly Juniper must figure out how to be around this new person and live with these new feelings.

This a bewitching love story that has small town charm, witchy enchantments, and fierce friendships. I absolutely loved reading this. By the end, I was completely smitten with these characters and I wish I lived in their little part of the world so I could visit them again and again. A cozy romance at its finest.

Really enjoyed my time with this book, and the only complaint I'd really have is I WANT MORE. The Dead Space vibes, the horror of the situation, the feeling of helplessness. Damn this author made me feel and shudder and wince and hooboy.

Highly recommend this for horror and scifi fans.

Breached is a great, quick read for sci-fi horror lovers that enjoy the likes of 'Pandorum' and 'Another Life'. I finished this book in about 3 days because I only set it down when the real world needed me. (Which was too often). The novella follows multi-POVs after an explosion puts two crews in a life or death situation on a far away space outpost. Disconnected from the rest of the universe, and even each other, Candace and Travis have two very different ideas of how best to survive. It isn't just the systems being down they have to contend with, but a terrifying monster roaming the halls. Seeking victims.

There is a lot of gore moments that made me squirm (I'm sensitive). They were really well described. The author clearly has a handle on body-horror. I strongly recommend reading the Content Warnings before hand.

Lawrence J West writes from many different perspectives in this novella, which really enhanced the anxiety of being cut off and alone in space with a monster. The character Aeon was hard to stomach. Candace I wanted to shake. And Travis I yelled at. Rita was probably my favorite! What I am getting at... West gave us a well-ranged cast of characters that invoked many different emotions out of me as a reader. Something we need in horror stories featuring of multi-POVs.

I look forward to reading more works from this author in the future. Hopefully my squeamish side can handle it.

Absolutely love this hoodie, the green color is perfect and has quickly become my go to hoodie
