About this listen

She’s a mortal with no memories.

As her fae liege, he knows only that he must protect her. But is he her hero...or her captor? Salma knows only her own name. She doesn’t even remember why she’s ill. Then a fae lord who claims he knows her snatches her back to his manor, and she learns that some things are more sinister than death. Like the Court of Dusk where everyone seems to know more about her than she does and nightfall is a deadly affair.

Adom’s book of truth tells him that the woman he doesn’t recognize is a vital member of his household. But the Manor keeps its secrets well, even from its own master. And even the Shadows seem to want the beautiful, mortal nuisance he has pledged to protect. As the threat of an invasion from night itself continues to mount, Adom knows there will be consequences if he can’t protect her. And Salma wonders if she can trust him to protect her from himself. Because sometimes Adom isn't the begrudging, aloof fae he appears to be. Sometimes he's someone— or perhaps something—else.

The beginning of a haunting, slow-burn, closed-door fae romance with elements of Beauty & the Beast, Hades & Persephone, and Egyptian mythology. Perfect for fans of Sylvia Mercedes, Tara Grayce, and Emma Ham.

I really liked the idea of the book, but somehow I could not get into it. I'm not sure if it was the fact that you are as clueless as the main character or just the story not connecting with me, but i couldn't settle into it.
I think the book has potential though, and other readers would likely like it, but it did not work for me.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
