Noah has spent his life in love with the popular girl but thought of as the weirdo because the family business is Gravedigging. Who knew that it would be the perfect way to get the girl.
His Valentines day night shift takes a rather unusual turn when he hears moaning and screaming in the darkness of the graveyard. However, it's not the usual horny goths or someone playing pranks, the sounds are coming from under the ground, in the freshly filled grave of Emma Broadturn. Rescuing the buried alive girl of his dreams and vowing to keep her safe while they unravel the mystery of how she ended up down there.
Noah is pure muscular, adorableness with a hit of cheeky. The way he takes care of Emma after the brutal ordeal she has just been through is just green flag material all the way. He's the strong but gentle giant every girl dreams of coming to her rescue and his sense of humour is the right level of sarcastic and charming.
Emma is written beautifully, as all Navessa's FMC's are. She has been through hell but she's invigorated and ready to take her life back. Emma shows us a side to women who have been in controlling relationships that is raw, traumatic and real. Her growth and strength over a short period after she realises what has been happening to her is amazing to see on the page. You can feel every emotion as she lives it, the rage over what her husband, the man who was supposed to love her, has done, the love and connection she has with Noah and has had for a long time.
Quite frankly I was completely on board with the "let's kill him" plan when it came to Beau Broadturn. The man is a vile piece of work and the perfect villain you love to hate when it comes to Navessa's work.
Noah and Emma together are cute and steamy, in another setting, they'd be fated mates for sure.
I am desperately hoping that maybe there is more to this story and Noah, Emma and the kittens will be back sooner than we think (PLEASE!)
Valentine's Slay is quintessential Navessa Allen, gorgeous, lovable characters, a villain you can get on board with murdering and a story that grips you from page one.
