She Calls From the Grave might sound like a spooky Halloween themed book, but in reality it is a paranormal romance that caught my attention from the very second that it got into my hands by chance. At first, when I picked up this book, I thought I would most certainly not like it for any reason. Why? Because I hate paranormal stories since they typically tend to freak me out a lot and in general do not match up with my more cheerful and excitable personality. I'm more of the type of person who would prefer to read about bunnies and colorful rainbows over something as spooky or freaky as paranormal books and fiction. Even movies I watch are not usually horror movies- I tend to stay away from those and just avoid horror in my life for the most part because I don't see what it has to do with reality and my personal life if it teaches me nothing, affects me in no way other that scaring me and truly just honestly exists for no reason, as I happen to see it.But here is where the surprise came in and I actually decided to see what this book would be about, since it just so happened to be written actually by my favorite author, the brilliant Sandra Ross. Now, Sandra Ross herself is typically known for her grand ability to write erotic romances and other love and passion involving stories- definitely nothing on the brink of horror or extreme fantasy such as this one. However, because it was written by her, and I really am a genuine fan, I had grabbed for the book and had decided to read it and hope for the best. I mean, if I truly did not like it, this would be the first of this author's books that I would detest, but still, it would not harm me to try to experience a new thing and see what this kind of theme would bring into my life if it was actually written by someone who has a great skill of writing and does so extremely well to the best of my knowledge. At least I knew right from the start that I would not be bored by the writing or language itself, since Sandra Ross writes so very descriptively and so skillfully. But in any case, I was a bit afraid to see if the change of genre would change my entire picture of her. And I was so glad that I actually mustered reading the book. It was a paranormal romance, just as it claimed it would be, and I couldn't put it down throughout my entire reading of it. It was a great experience and I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes scary romances.
