Nightshade by Keri Lake is a dark paranormal gothic romance about Farryn Ravenshaw, a woman plagued by violent nightmares, a strange birthmark, and her missing father’s obsession with an otherworldly realm called Nightshade. When a string of ritualistic murders bearing the same symbol as her birthmark draws police attention to her family, Farryn follows cryptic clues in her father’s journals and crosses into Nightshade, a purgatory-like dimension between the mortal world and hell. There she meets Jericho Van Croix, a powerful, morally gray “reaper” who recognizes her as the reincarnation of the woman he once loved, pulling Farryn into a centuries‑spanning curse, a war between angels, demons, and fanatical cults, and a consuming fated‑mates romance, while leaving the ultimate fate of their love and the curse unresolved.

Erica’s review

This duology is interesting because as a whole I didn't love it but when I dissect it, it's super memorable and there are some great dark romance and dark fantasy aspects to it. I specifically read it for spooky season and it fits that bill 100%. My Husband used to travel a lot for work and I was deep into the series when I was reading it one night when he was out of town. I literally had to put it down and put Friends on. This is Angels and Demons and religious cults and reincarnation. Super gothic, creepy and dark. I enjoyed the writing and the mystery but I don't know, I guess it just wasn't my cup of tea. BUT, if you like those vibes - it's only a duology so pick it up!
