Reviews

"This is not a fluffy romance. There is animal sacrifice. There are creepy visuals that would make Guillermo del Toro green with envy. The book is deeply concerned about people being made monstrous, a very rich, queer place for a story to go. It knows the weight of terror, and what survival costs, and still wants you to feel that life -- and love -- are worth it."
--The New York Times

"An enchanting conclusion to The Gideon Testaments, Saint, Sorrow, Sinner's religious horror and sapphic romance deftly weave together into a story that's bloody, rich, and tender."
--Morgan Dante author of Providence Girls

"Eerie as a haunting, biting as the midwinter night, and as tender as the ache of new love, Heart, Haunt, Havoc lingers long past the last page."
--K. M. Enright author of Mistress of Lies

"[Heart, Haunt, Havoc is] filled with dark magic, romance, and high stakes, this is a fast-paced read that pulls you through to the dramatic conclusion and doesn't disappoint!"
--C. M. Rosens author of The Crows

"Sharp, sexy, and full teeth, this one is going to leave a mark. A compulsively good read filled with heart, heat, and plenty of bite! Bishop and Colin will steal your heart without question. I just wish we had more of them! Queer Constantine meets The Exorcist, in this sharp, sexy, read about exorcisms, haunted houses, and the ghosts we carry with us. A must-read for queer horror fans!"
--Jen Karner author of Cinders of Yesterday

"Masterful! Moon has an expert understanding of characters and unique voices. Each novella of The Gideon Testaments is strong enough to stand on its own, but the holistic story woven through all three is a gripping, emotional, queer triumph that will leave readers believing in the strength of community and love in healing traumas, as well as the power of intention and self-love."
--Lucien Burr author of The Teras Trials

"Anchored by the bedrock of Freyds Moon's hypnotic prose, Saint, Sorrow, Sinner sets their protagonists against the bloodied altars of love and faith, weaving a story that will capture readers sure as a rabbit in a snare. This capstone to The Gideon Testaments trilogy draws together its entire cast in a vivid, fast-paced haunting, where queer bodies are the brutal, beautiful flashpoint between predator and prey."
--Rien Gray author of Double Exposure

"A Gothic saga about magic and love, full of heart and gore, romance and horror, Freyds Moon has masterfully crafted characters who bleed life onto the page. A captivating voice with brutal precision that will leave you as utterly, irrevocably obsessed as I am."
