About the Author

Roses are red, violets are blue, Emma’s not dead, and her gravedigger’s hot too. This Valentine’s Day, love claws its way out of the grave in #1 New York Times bestselling author Navessa Allen’s steamy and hilariously dark rom-com.

Louisiana gravedigger Noah Evans’s Valentine’s night shift takes an unexpected turn when his high school crush starts screaming from her freshly dug grave. Whoever tried to bury Emma six feet under is in for a nasty surprise—they should have checked for a pulse because she’s got unfinished business, starting with the hot gravedigger who just saved her life. As they unearth a deadly family conspiracy, Noah and Emma discover that old flames burn even hotter the second time around—especially when someone’s trying to kill them.

Navessa Allen’s Valentine’s Slay is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute: Second Chances, stories for star-crossed lovers and hopeless romantics. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s do it again.

Review

I was thoroughly entertained by Valentine’s Slay. It felt like a well-rounded story with a satisfying ending that tied everything together nicely. I got what I expected from this novella. I will say the romance moved a little fast. However, it still worked within the story. Emma and Noah were great. The story is told almost entirely from Noah’s POV, with a singular chapter from Emma at the end. Noah was an absolute sweetheart, and it was easy to root for him and them throughout the book.

The story grabbed my attention immediately with an intriguing opening. I went into his story pretty blind and didn’t know if it would have a paranormal element. The blend of suspense, humor, and romance was well-balanced.

Final Thoughts

Valentine’s Slay was a fun, fast-paced read that kept me entertained throughout.
