McEwen – Review by Sheri Schrader
This was a great story about a woman who’s loss of her partner ruled her life. Vashti’s life seems to be on hold since her partner Anton has passed but that all changed when she met Absalom.
Absalom is in college and falls on hard times when his girlfriend kicks him out. To help him Vashti offers him a place to stay but with certain conditions.
When his friend Simeon finds himself also homeless his friend offers him a home but could this be one person to many. Can Vashti’s secret remain secret or will one of her lodgers let it sleep.
This was a gripping story with a huge twist at the end that I didn’t see coming.

McEwen – Review by Kerry Carr
The Widow was a surprising book for me, but a very good surprise. I always love it when an author, or in this case authors, manages to take me by surprise.
Vashti lost her husband a year ago and is still carrying the weight of his death. She feels trapped and alone, but one day forces herself to make a change. She leaves her home to venture into the nearby town, and that’s where the story really begins. Vashti meets Absalom when he rescues her from a run in with an angry man she accidentally knocks into. In turn Vashti rescues Absalom too, he ends up staying with her when things in his life change and his well made plans are ruined. As the pair become closer things take a romantic turn, Vashti feels happiness after feeling empty for so long. When Absalom’s friend from college turns up, their new found peace is put at risk.
What drew me into this book was the beautiful, in depth descriptions at the start. I could feel Vashti’s pain and loneliness through the words in the book, and I was hooked. The story has some unexpected twists and turns, and you really feel as though you are taken on a journey with the characters. This is a short story that will leave you wanting more. Great if you want a story to read in one sitting.

McEwen – Review by Lianne Probert
The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen is quite a surprising little package- a dark and mysterious fantasy that is so much more than it first appears. I really don’t want to go into any detail as I don’t want to give away the clever and surprising twist that really gave this book an added element of intrigue. The characters are really well developed with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. The scene setting and storytelling is quite rich, imaginative, and vividly descriptive. The authors have woven a lot into a relatively small amount of space, choreographing all the elements into quite an enthralling read. They also manage to infuse quite a lot of emotion into the storyline, making it easy to connect with the characters and invest in them and the outcome of their story. Well Done! Looking forward to more!

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E McEwen is a really great story that will grab you on the very first page and won’t let you go until the end. The two authors’ writing styles blend together and make this book flow smoothly. Vashti, Absalom and Simeon are great characters and the story kept me wondering what could possibly come next. I really like these two authors and I’m going to put them both on my TBR list.

McEwen – Review by Sunday Barnaby
The Widow by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen was not at all what I expected. When I first started reading this story, I was immediately drawn in by the emotion portrayed by the main character, Vashti. The authors do a great job at getting the reader invested in her struggles and desires. Once you’re invested, the story takes a dark and mysterious turn. I really enjoyed reading this, and highly recommend it!

McEwen – Review by Connie Cranston
The Widow is an enticing romantic novel by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen. In it, we meet the beautiful and mysterious widow Vashti Paladin and gradually learn her secrets as she befriends students Absalom and Simeon. In spite of its modern setting, The Widow definitely has a feel of the Gothic to it. Scenes reminded me of Northanger Abbey and Bluebeard’s Castle, but in this case our inquisitive young heroines were men. There’s a locked door which Simeon and the readers are both desperate to open and terrified of what might be behind. It’s billed as a dark story, but has a warmth and a light to it that I wasn’t expecting. There’s a focus on found family and protectiveness – Vashti is private but kind to those she lets in. The Widow is an engrossing read and gets five stars from me. I’d recommend it to fans of the Gothic who are eager to see gender roles reversed, and fans of paranormal romance. The twists and secrets will keep you turning the pages – I couldn’t put it down!

I really enjoyed this story! I loved how you knew something was different with our main female character but we don’t get an answer until later, so you’re left guessing what exactly it could be she’s hiding. She was a likeable character and I was kept wondering what her end goal was and it wasn’t what i was expecting at all, in a good way! I don’t want to give anything away, really I don’t but if you have an hour or so pick this book up and you won’t be sorry.

This is not my first book by these authors and it will not be my last. The plot-line is captivating. I felt myself turning pages faster than any other book. The characters are complex and real. I love the way Vashti’s character was portrayed. She has built herself a great life. She was alone in her home until and she took in a boarder, Absalom. Vashti was a private person when she took in Absalom. Where there is a person trying to break down what Vashti and Absalom what will happen to their lives? I highly suggest reading this book to see what happens.

McEwen – Review by Erica Fish
The Widow is a great romantic fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen. I had never read any work by either of these authors so took a leap of faith in choosing to read this book. I’m so glad I took the plunge as I really enjoyed this story. It’s not a very long story and I was able to devour the whole book in 1 sitting. The heroine of this story is Vashti who is getting over the death of her husband the previous year. She decides to take in a ‘roommate’ of sorts in Absalom. This book is their story. This book is far from a traditional romance as Vashti and Absalom’s romance is far from traditional. I absolutely loved both of these characters. Vashti is rather eccentric and dresses as though she lives in the Victorian times and does not care what anyone else thinks of her. She is such a strong and vibrant character. I also loved Absalom, he’s such a sweet guy and has had such a hard time. I loved how these two writers write so descriptively. You are given very detailed descriptions of each location and you can easily picture them in your head. I’d definitely love to read more by these authors.

The Widow A Dark Romantic Fantasy By Naomi Valkyrie And Rebecca E. McEwen ☆☆☆☆☆ This is a romantic story, filled with fantasy and an unbelievable darkside. Can I give 5 ☆s to each author? It was that good!
You will meet Vashti, Absalon and Simeon. Vashti is a new widow, Absalom has a cheating girlfriend, and Simeon, who is friends with Absalon. All 3 are strong and drawn to each other. Enter the Mansion, where friendships grow and fantasy turns real. Sorry, not sorry. No spoilers!
Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E.McEwen have written this story. It has a little bit of history. A whole lot of dark romance. This book will draw you in and keep you there, until the last page is read. I love the characters, you can’t help it though. I have read Naomi Valkyrie’s writings, but Rebecca E. McEwen is new to me. You can bet I will be looking for more!

This book drew me in because I could relate to the character, Vashti’s pain of growing weary of the world around her of loneliness and grief. No, I’m not a widow but I’ve been there where I’ve experienced both emotions but I loved where this book took the reader. The lives of the main two characters are disrupted with the entrance of another character who brings drama into their fold and their privacy is shifted but also to where it leads to unexpected changes that force their lives to take on drastically as it all unfolds. I hope this is the start of a series because the mystery captured my attention because you wanted to know more. The suspense kept me tuned in till the end to read it.

McEwen – Review by Faith Jackson
I was pretty excited to sit down and read The Widow, and I had high expectations. The best news is they were all met well beyond what I could have ever wanted. This is such a great short dark romance that I found myself engrossed from page one until the very last well into the night when I should have been in bed. The lack of sleep hangover the next day was so incredibly worth it though. I am anxious to see if we will get more dark romances from Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E McEwen in the future because I think these two have found quite a niche here. The concept was a bit different and new so the story was fresh and I never found myself bored. We meet Vashti as she is a widow who thinks she is ready to find love again. When she begins things with Absalom you wonder if things will be smooth sailing and do get off to a nice start. When a friend comes into play and stirs up trouble for the couple things get super interesting. I loved this book and I can’t’ wait to get my hands on more!

The Widow by Rebecca E. McEwen and Naomi Valkyrie was a great novel! I highly enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick, very enthralling read. I could hardly put this book down when I started. I loved the characters and the plot line and storyline, and it was so much like two different times in history converged into one while I was reading this story. That was very interesting, in a way I’ve never read a book like that before. This is the first book I’ve read by McEwen, but not by Valkyrie, and so far it’s been my favorite! Kudos on this great read!

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen. This is one of my favorite genres so I was super excited to read this and it did not disappoint. This is the story of Vashti who is grieving over the loss of her husband. She feels totally alone so one day she decides to go to town and she meets Absalom a college student. They get friendly and she ends up offering him a room in her house for his companionship. She even draws up a contract. Things are going quite well until Absalom’s friend Simeon comes into play. He brings all kinds of drama and just a ton of baggage. When Vashti starts to feel her perfect little safe life is being threatened she loses it. When Vashti comes up with a solution Absalom is not sure how he feels about the plan but he doesn’t really have a choice at the moment. This is such a good fast paced mystery. Get ready to buckle your seat belt because you are in for a great ride!

McEwen – Review by Tausha Treadway
This is the first book I’ve ever read by Mrs. McEwen and Mrs. Valkyrie. They have done an outstanding job writing these characters. This book was hard to put down.
Vashti lost her husband and tried to figure out how to move on with her life. She is tired of sitting in the big house by herself. She ventures out to town and things start looking up. The quote I choose for Vashti is: “I know this is an unusual arrangement, but you will be taken care of in the event you should choose to end it. The only way you leave with nothing is if you violate the rules.”
Absalom, a college student, finds that life isn’t all it seems. He goes to a coffee shop and finds himself enchanted by Vashti. He finds himself in a sticky situation and is offered a good thing. The quote I choose for Absalom is: “You’re inviting a virtual stranger into your home? And you’re okay with that?”
Simeon, also a college student, finds himself in the middle of a situation. He goes to a friend hoping he can help out. When he is given the opportunity to stay with his friend things look up. The quote I choose for Simeon is: “Yeah, honestly, I do. You know, I’m really ashamed to say it, but I was expecting some freaky Night of the Living Dead kinda shit when I walked in the door here. It’s funny how you create judgments about people just because they dress weird or act other than what we would consider normal. I don’t want to know what people think about my family and me. Yeah, yeah, man, I have a good feeling about this.”
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good romance. It has a dark edge to it and it’s fantastic. This is a hard to put down novel and is a real page turner.

I enjoyed reading this book. At first, I was slightly surprised by how dark the book felt, but then it grew on me. The author used this dark feeling well making it easy to develop an empathy for the main character. Each character was well developed with their introduction. I liked how easy this book was to read. I was able to sit down and just get lost in the reading, without thinking. Before I knew it, this book was over. The varied sentence structure really helped me to stay focused. I like how the author changes the tone in this book. It is almost like you see the light and dark, which is a good play on real life with its ups and downs. I recommend checking this book out!

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkryie & Rebecca E. McEwen is a quick read. I enjoyed the story but found it a little slow in the beginning and by the time it picked up it was almost over. Having said that, the creative way Naomi and Rebecca have written the story you knew something was building but you just could not put your finger on it until it is revealed.
Being a recluse and private person, no one could guess what goes on behind closed doors.

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen – Review by Angela Montoya
Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen did such a flawless job of pulling me from reality into the dark, slightly twisted world they created for Vashti and Absalom. Vashti, alone and vulnerable in her grief, decides to try her hand at moving on, having no idea that Absalom was the man that would change everything for her. Their story was an absolute page-turner! I couldn’t’ put the book down until I was finished and then found myself yearning for more! The Widow was my first time reading from both Naomi & Rebecca, but I can guarantee I will not be the last! I loved this story!!!!

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E McEwan is an intriguing story that had me utterly hooked from the beginning. I was drawn completely into these characters. The relationships between them, the character development were all so amazing to observe. The story was such a good one. It was well written and the two authors writing style worked so well together. They really knew how to pull out all the emotions and create a vivid and lasting story. It really felt like the pages turned themselves as I was reading this, I could not put it down. This is another amazing story by 2 incredible authors and I cannot wait to see what the produce together in the future.

McEwen – Review by Kerry Baker
This dark romantic fantasy is a short read at only seventy eight pages but it’s a complete story and is a gripping read. Vashti has grown weary of the grief and loneliness that has plagued her since her husbands death a year before and for the first time she leaves the sanctuary of her mansion to venture into town. Meanwhile Absalom is left homeless having learnt that his girlfriend has cheated on him. When the two meet Vashti feels compelled to offer Absalom a room in her mansion. Vashti is looking for companionship and Absalom is keen to except the offer even if it does come with a strangely specific contract. Things are going well for both Vashti and Absalom until Simeon, Absalom’s friend appears and brings with him unwanted drama. Vashti has always longed for privacy and has worked hard to protect it and suddenly this is endangered. Absalom can see everything that he’s built with Vashti beginning to crumble. When lives are threatened Vashti comes up with a solution but this will change both their lives forever. I found myself hooked from the beginning of this story, Vashti and Absalom are great characters and their emotions really came through in the narrative. The whole story had a dark atmospheric feel to it and I could not put it down.

I loved reading the book The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I couldn’t stop until I finished. It is a story that is dark & mysterious. It is well developed and has characters which made the story pop and easy to read. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Vashti and Absalom. Vashti is grieving over the loss of her husband. Absalom is a young man who doesn’t have a place to call home. The way the book is written I could feel the emotions of Vashti and Absalom. Read this book to find out what happens. Don’t miss out on a story that is this entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.

5 Stars
This is my 2nd book by this team of authors and I loved it! The beginning of the book had me literally feeling everything that was going through Vashti’s mind..Her emotions jumped off the pages and were written beautifully! Vashti’s character building might just be up there with some of the best. I truly felt like I knew her, and I could actually see everything she was seeing. This was awesome!!
As the story progressed and other players were brought into the mix, I found myself so engrossed in this story that I could not put it down, and truly did not want it to end. I knew there was more to everything than what I was seeing, I just kept waiting for it. The subtle way this story revealed itself was nothing short of perfection.
These two authors are amazing together and the way they reel you in is so much fun and even though you think you know what’s coming, and even though you might be right, it’s still a surprise when all plays out. I dont have the words to explain all of this correctly but just know that this is a must read, I loved it and will be reading it again, and my hope is that these 2 authors keep going…They are fiercely talented!

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy By Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. It is a story that is dark, mysterious, and has moments that I was turning pages to find out what happens next. I loved reading about the characters of Vashti and Absalom. Vashti is grieving over the loss of her husband. She feels alone. She decides one day to venture out of her home. Then she meets Absalom. Absalom is a young man who doesn’t have a place to call home. Although he wonders about the offer that Vashti gives, of a room in exchange for companionship, however, it seems like just the answer that he is looking for. When a friend of Absalom comes into the picture the drama begins. Read this book to find out what happens. This is a story that I just was not able to put down once I started. The way the book is written I could feel the emotions of Vashti and Absalom. I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. I also enjoyed reading about Absalom’s friend, Simeon, and how he interacted with both Absalom and Vashti. This story does have a dark atmosphere about it and there are times when I had to remind myself to breathe. Don’t miss out on a story that is intriguing and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.

I loved this story, This is not my first book by these authors but it is my favorite yet so far. This is a shorter story that left me wanting more. It is well developed and has characters which made the story pop and easy to read. This is a story about Vashti and the life she built for herself. She lives alone until she takes in Absalom. Things are great with them until a friend enters their lives and throws drama into the situation. Vashti has a solution but how far will she go to keep what she has built safe? It could just alter everyone’s life forever. I couldn’t put this book down once I started it. It pulled me right in, I highly recommend this book.
