About this listen

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.

I mean by chapter two she is feeling herself up over the thought of him. I was enjoying it still but it lost me a bit at the red palace. Especially when Adrian literally rips someone’s eye out as they said he’d been distracted by his new wife. I mean come on. What girl really what’s to be married to someone like that. Can you imagine your husband doing that? Getting a bit done with these dark violent immortal over sexed man types that are suddenly fascinated with the MC.

I enjoyed everything about this book. The story, the second characters the narration. Can’t wait for book two.

Great character development and would recommend

An easy listening story with extra spice. Pretty simple and no real surprises to the twists and turns - but that was just what was needed! Loved Isolde’s voice narrator but Adrian’s in the bonus chapter is not great.

Easy listening

I don’t mind the level of spice, it’s just that I wasn’t expecting so much. I felt like it overshadowed some plot details that I wanted to hear more about. All together, a fun read.

The twist in the end elevates the whole book. Though the foreshadowing pretty much drowns in the spice.
