Today I had the pleasure of reading this brief, but satisfying, e-book from Eternal Press (www.eternalpress.ca). Marisa Quinn retells the Classical Greek myth of Eros (cupid) and Psyche, his mortal beloved. Standing between these two destined lovers is Eros's mother, the love-goddess Venus. Though this story is literally thousands of years old, Quinn manages to place her own unique spin on it and make it fresh and interesting. I was stunned to learn this is Quinn's first published romance! She's a very promising new writer from Australia, and Whispers in the Dark is a great read.

You know I usually love romance..
But, is it considered fantasy or chick lit?
Because I prefer Chick lit.
