Book Review: Falling for the Boogeyman

 

The Boogeyman always gets what he wants.

Being the leader of the Boogeymen is not for the faint of heart. Stealing souls and terrorizing people in the night takes a special being with supreme power. Basil Fernsby is that being. Thriving on fear and despair, Basil loves everything about what he does. That is, until the night he creeps out from under the bed of the most magnificent woman he has ever seen. One look at her has him questioning everything.

Iris Gable has lived in Hollybrook her entire life. Her days are busy with running her flower shop, and her nights are quiet alongside her cat Lancelot. When a strange figure awakens her in the middle of the night, she quickly realizes not only is the Boogeyman real, but he brings a new part of her to life.

Distracted and enamored with his new target, Basil finds himself suddenly trapped in the human realm. Forced to help him find a way home, Iris begins to discover a world where the monster under the bed also belongs in it.


My Review
Iris awakens to the Boogeyman standing over her bed. He says, "Welcome to Hell." What a wakeup call. Not one that I would want to encounter. Luckily for Iris, the Boogeyman has a sense of humor. Also, his name is Basil.

Basil does rule Hell and collects souls but when he meets Iris, he wants to claim Iris but not for Hell. He wants to claim her as his own. 

"My lips caress hers, seeking a truth I already know. She. Is. Mine."

I loved the cheeky humor that Basil showcased throughout the book. This is the best part of the story if I am honest. Yet, the chemistry that he and Iris shared is a close second. 

"I'll always be able to get to you. Time, space, none of it matters."

Who knew that the monster under my bed that I was fearful of when I was a child would turn out to be the monster of my dreams as an adult. I am all about Basil. He can come visit me anytime. Falling for the Boogeyman is a hilarious, must read.
