There are a lot of scary stories included in this book. It's a perfect collaborative piece for those people that like lore and spooky tales. I enjoyed a good half of the stories. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

For all those dark hearts out there, a Valentine's day book looking at the terrifying legends and stories surrounding romance. Oh this was such a fun read. It's a great book that has modern mysteries, legends, origins and so much more. It's morbid, its got a bit of horror, and its just such a fun read for anyone who loves a bit of a darker look into romance! Plus the book is filled with gorgeous art pieces!! Seriously snag this for any gothic heart out there!

I loved every minute of this book. It was full of stories written in such an engaging way that I found myself reading more and more, unable to put it down.

Thank you for the opportunity to read!!

This is a quick read that covers the history of Valentine's Day lore from ancient Greece and Rome through early Europe, the urban legends of the 1950's and more. It's a mix of fact and fiction with some parts being more interesting than others. I appreciate that the author included lgbt representation and I really liked the illustration style.

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book was interesting! I enjoyed the lore and knew some of them and I found it to be fun and interesting. It was a short book but nevertheless, fun to read!

This short book is super interesting. I knew a lot of the lore but I still found the book fun. I would buy it for my teenagers.
