Elien Martel is a survivor, but surviving, he’s beginning to discover, isn’t the same thing as living. In the house he shares with his much older boyfriend, Elien spends his days trying to stay as far away from living as possible. Living, he has learned, means that sooner or later you’ll get hurt.
When a member of Elien’s support group dies under strange circumstances, though, Elien finds himself in a web of bizarre coincidences. The responding officer turns out to be another member of Elien’s support group - a man named Mason, who has made no effort to hide his dislike of Elien. Then, just a few days later, Mason tries to kill Elien in front of dozens of witnesses.
As violence ripples through Elien’s world, he begins to suspect that the coincidences are not coincidences at all. Something is at work behind the cascade of tragedies, something vicious and intelligent. Something that has wanted Elien for a long time.
To defeat it, Elien will have to do what he fears most and face the darkness in his own past. Worse, he’ll have to take the risk of trying to live again.

I'm a little curious about the actual history and culture behind the myths these books are based on. It's pretty rare to read nuanced representations of non mainstream culture written by people not from that culture. So... this probably isn't great. Fortunately for me, I am too ignorant to be offended. Next time I'm in NO it would be interesting to research though.
Super fun

This has spooky stuff, this has horror, this has gore. This also has a very slow and sweet romance!
I appreciated the little cute moments between the MCs, eating pizza in bed, bickering, setting boundaries, understanding that they came with baggage. It worked. Also don't mind me finding overbearing parents actually endearing??
I will say the beginning was a little rough to start out with, but once it started moving and there was character development and background shared, I was invested.
Also! The narration!! Was so good! 4.5 stars only because I think it'll only get better in the next book.
Addicting and creepy!

I don't have patience for horror books, but this one is a sensible, nicely articulated story. Its strength lies in the way it represents the uncanny element, pouring it on a most common situation (a multi layered abusive relationship which is in itself frightening). The reader discovers the depth of the abuse and finding a path to sanity, while figuring out the clues on the monster. It is a chase of self discovery, building trust, growing up, and chasing some scary (in more than one way) creatures. The main characters are endearing, and the parents of one of them are epic. Definitely enjoyable.

The character development is top notch. You will be unable to stop rooting for Elien throughout this story.
When trouble leads him to Deputy Dagobert LaBlanc things might start looking up. Dag's parents add just the right touch of humor and kind of steal the show!
Stray Fears is a great paranormal/mystery romance that you won't regret reading!
Declan Winters does an outstanding job of bringing this story to life!
