Description

From fan-favorite Scarlett St. Clair, the bestselling author of the Hades & Persephone series, comes a new fantasy filled with danger, darkness, and insatiable romance.

Their union is his revenge.

Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day to be her death day. To end a years-long war, she is to marry vampire king Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, and kill him.

But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead. Faced with the possibility of becoming the thing she hates most, Isolde seeks other ways to defy him and survive the brutal vampire court.

Except it isn't the court she fears most—it's Adrian. Despite their undeniable chemistry, she wonders why the king—fierce, savage, merciless—chose her as consort.

The answer will shatter her world.

Contains mature themes.

Be prepared this is erotica

I read the synopsis and reviews, nothing indicated this is heavily erotica with little to absolutely no story. By the last 90%, i still had no idea what the book was actually about. I’m extremely disappointed.

Sexy story and sexy story teller

Most definitely NOT a slow burn but damn it was HOT!! Narrator was great. I wish she did the bonus chapter because the man that voiced that was not sexy sounding at all and was super rushed sounding. I would have liked a bit more world building but I would listen to this again!

Loved this book

Loved the storyline and the spiciness in this book. Loved Lily as the narrator. Didn't love the guy who did the bonus chapter as Adrian, in fact it was terrible, could not imagine Adrian sounding like that.

Not what I was expecting.

The narrator was great. Would definitely listen to more books read by Lilly Drake.

As for the story, it wasn’t what I had expected based on the reviews and synopsis. Was hoping for slow burn, enemies to lovers trope, but this wasn’t the case.

The characters didn’t have much depth, but interesting story concept. And accolades for consent.

Fun spicy story

Everything was great until the bonus chapter in Adrian's view. The voice was terrible, revolting. I hated it.

Bad voices

The voices when she was screaming or when it was the male part was terrible. The story was fine but predictable. Worth reading but wasnt something I would go back to

Just not for me*spoilers*

The storyline was interesting and the narrators did a great job. This just wasn’t a story for me. The instant love because of reincarnation just wasn’t written well for a romance, for me. Obviously the new love was different from his past love, and you didn’t really get his perspective of how he reconciled the differences. Also, Isolde didn’t even flinch that she was a soul reincarnate and Adrian loved her already? There was no internal conflict that she felt he loved who she was and not who she is now, A soul is not a personality. It’s just giving me that the author is telling me how to feel without showing me how I should feel. I didn’t even like Isolde 3/4 of the book, she was too pious, aggressive and discriminatory even when the truth was smacking her in the face. And Adrian really didn’t have any personality that we got to see besides the sexual tension with Isolde.

Just ok. I expected more from this author.

The story was interesting, certainly the attraction is there between the characters. The female lead just seems very conflicted all the time, trapped in her own thoughts. She is not much one for action. I would have preferred it if she took control more often, not just on the rare occasions when she was forced to.

The performance just sounds “tired”, making the character sound exhausted all the time. Which maybe she is?

I am just not inspired to look for a sequel in this series.

Well written but foreseeable

The book was correct and the narrator did well on her part.
I wish the story was more than a love story between a woman who acts like a teenager and an Alpha male.

I tried.

Even though I saw the reviews I thought I’d try to listen. Mistake. I don’t normally right bad reviews because I know people work hard to produce stuff that they are proud of BUT this was horrible. I couldn’t get through all of it. The heroine is written as whiny and bitchy, the story does not flow well at all. The hero comes across as weak but tries to be strong and worthy. I’m pissed off I used a credit on this. So, don’t waste your time.

Get it!! Best new series I’ve read in a long time!

Here’s what you get from this story- Strong fierce intelligent female main character! Compelling storyline and world building ! Morally grey alpha male who has a heart ! Spicy spicy spicy scenes ! And both male and female OWN their sexuality with no shame. And it’s LGBTQIA+ friendly. I started this book on 1.2 speed ( speed I usually use) but slowed it down because I didn’t want it to end . I’m so ready for the next one!

One of my most favorite books

Well god damnit that was a fun read. It had a bunch of tropes I enjoyed including one horse, enemies to lovers, found family, morally grey love interest and more. Although I struggled to picture blonde hair for the love interest. Just seemed weird 😂 The main character was excellently written. She is strong, witty, dangerous and owns her sexuality. It was so fun to read from her perspective and not have it be some shy wildflower cowering when shit hit the fan. The amount of stabbing she does is hilarious at times. I cannot wait for the second book to come out! The story has so much potential and is giving me potential throne of glass vibes with the different ways the author could take this, plus the stabbing... I'm sad its over!

Overall
Story 5/⭐
Spice 3.5/🌶️

Ok listen

This was one of those books that I couldn’t put down but it was not great. I don’t know why I kept reading as I reallllly disliked Isolde, maybe it was Adrian as I loved him. She annoyed the piss out of me, I hate u, wait I’m jealous, don’t touch me, you didn’t come to my room… is this chick for real? Oh and it’s legit cringy smut vampire erotica- so be prepared

Loved the Main Character

Probably one of my favorite female characters. Totally incredible and badass chick. Also the main guy was all that hot alpha man goodies without the box of red flags. They had good chemistry. The storyline could’ve been more exciting. It felt slow and predictable. Still good. Nice world building and different take on vampires, so original in a lot of ways

Only upset about narration

I loved the book and LOVED Lilly Drake! Her voice is so unique and lovely. I loved listening to her and want to listen to more she has narrated.
However.
The book states that Adrian has a slight accent. When the bonus chapter started and Curt began... I wasn't expecting a slight Boston accent. 🤣 He's a good narrator, but not right for this story. ☹️

Storyline that keeps you hooked

This would be my second book of this type to read/listen too and again I'm a little surprised by how much I was drawn into the storyline. Being a guy I thought maybe this wouldn't be something that would interest me but it did? Not saying that guys cant be in to this but just generally not really the audience this is aimed at? Lilly does a great job of bringing the characters to life as she reads so you do find yourself getting a little more invested in what's going on, although the main charater does come off as a little....bitchy? but if you look at ot in perspective of thats how one was raised you can look past it. I didn't think I'd be into this style of writing as I'm not too into the whole "hot and steamy" stuff but this was very well written. 5 out of 5 forsure and would recommend if your thinking about getting this. Bought a hard copy for my girlfriend too.

10/10!!

LOVED this book so much I listened to it again immediately after I finished it the first time. Some of the names are pronounced incorrectly (according to the author) but I kind of prefer it and it’s not a big deal. I love the way Lilly reads for these characters and I think her emphasis on words and phrases conveys Isolde’s and Adrian’s emotions SO well. Can’t wait for the sequel! I also loved the bonus chapter in Adrian’s POV!

Surprised how much I liked it!

I love books with this kind of Love Story. Reminded me of Blood and Ash. I wasn’t ready for the twist! I hope there is a book 2!
