" - Shingai Njeri Kagunda"Wemakor's writing is visually evocative, sensory, and sensual. When schoolteacher Cynthia gets a tattoo at a block party in 1991 Flatbush, she doesn't realize she's embarking on a life-changing romance with an immortal Ghanaian vampire. Turns of phrase peppered throughout her prose invite you to read them twice, just to appreciate the beauty condensed within their apparent simplicity and the subtle humor that accentuates the tenderness of two lovers.
