by Dr. Sarah Monday
Savannah MacLeod appears to have it all: bestselling novels, a glamorous life, and a husband, Michael, who has sacrificed everything for her success. But behind the curtain of her privilege, her marriage is crumbling under the weight of her own selfishness. Just as she vows to change and finally prioritize the man who stood by her, a devastating car crash leaves her trapped in the terrifying gray space between life and death.
In this gripping paranormal romance, Savannah is confronted by a mysterious entity with burning scarlet eyes. This demon acts as a dark, psychological mirror, forcing her to relive her most tragic and thrilling memories. Part A Christmas Carol and part visceral journey into the soul, the narrative masterfully blends supernatural suspense with a raw, emotional exploration of regret and redemption. As Savannah faces her past, she must confront the ultimate price of her ambition.
Fans of the genre will be hooked by the high-stakes tension and the lingering sense of dread. With an unpredictable, mind-bending twist that has readers reeling, this story is more than just a supernatural encounter; it is a haunting interrogation of the heart. Prepare for a dark, atmospheric ride where every choice carries a soul-shattering consequence.

A Deep Dive (with light spoilers) These are MY thoughts and opinions on the novel. Keep in mind reading is deeply personal and subjective. We all read from & draw from our own experiences 🖤 Here we go! Much like A Christmas Carol, this review will offer thoughts with a multi-timeline viewpoint. A Dance in the Devil’s Arms is a devastating psychological romance that uses a supernatural framework to interrogate memory, self-worth, and the stories we tell ourselves about love.

That ending completely caught me off guard! Big tint 🤌 One minute I thought I understood where the story was going, and the next it delivered an emotional twist I did not see coming. Definitely leaving an impression. But let’s rewind. The easiest way to describe this book is something like take the emotional reflection of A Christmas Carol, removing the holiday setting, blending it with the layered family and relationship drama of This Is Us, and adding a paranormal element that forces the...

This book was everything, one my my favorite reads this year. Savvy, a successful author, best seeking series, movie adaptations, and a picture perfect husband. She finds herself in a place where she needs to face her demons. Reliving the worst moments of her life, the best moments of her life. Love, loss, choices she has made, the consequences of those choices. It was so beautifully written, and you feel so connected to the characters - to the point of wanting to grab them through the book and...
