Book Synopsis

An instant USA Today bestseller! 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.

    Good, but I wished there were other terms to describe nationality outside of “my people” 🤣

  • Missed Opportunity

    While the overall plot is great, the random hardcore erotica was unnecessary and seemed more like a placeholder for when the author lacked an original idea for that section of plot. Outside of that issue, the writing is great, as is the world building, but I also disliked some of the nicknames the author gave some of the main characters because the words seemed random and a tad corny. I think the series should have stopped with this book; the author should have cut the other books out (2nd is out, 3rd slated for 2024) and just added a final chapter to this book where she explained the rest of the loose ends because the narrative honestly doesn’t need any other additions.

    This is the start of what is sure to be an amazing trilogy from Scarlett! Vampires, arranged marriages, enemies to lovers, it’s got it all!

    I have be devouring supernatural romance books for close to 6 months. Of the 30+ books I have read, these 2 books ranks at the top. I adore the characters and their gradual development and growth. I also am happy that there is little filler content as many authors use, like when other authors describe every room and costume ad nauseam at every opportunity. Some authors fluff for page count, not St. Clair. She is my new favorite author.

  • Fastest I have ever read a book!

    This is probably the best book I’ve ever read. Not only is it filled with passion but so many twists and turns. It truly keeps you on your toes and wondering what’s next. I am already starting the next book and I’m really hoping for a third! The author is incredible, I’ve never found someone who has the ability to keep me wanting more to the point I just can’t put the book down. Highly recommend!

  • 🔥Great Experience 🔥

    I consumed both of these books in a 36 hour haze. I really appreciate that the protagonist is a relatable mid twenties strong independent woman. There is a perfect balance between sexy scenes and plot.

  • Money wasted.

    More smut than anything else. Story line was rushed and lacked depth. I was not impressed.

    If you like a healthy dose of smut, then you’ll certainly get it here. I’m not complaining, that’s my favorite part honestly; however, some of the character building is not as in-depth as I normally like (i.e. Adrian could have been fleshed out sooooo much more). Personally, I love a strong and powerful heroine, and you certainly see that within Isolde. My problem is that the author has somehow made her strong yet insolent?? She’s quick tempered and mildly immature which is a HUGE turn off for me, especially coming from the character narrating the story. I enjoyed the plot and the overall gist of the story, and I feel if the author had focused a bit more on refining those details then this review would be entirely different. Another thing to mention is that the story moves rather quickly, and there are moments where Isolde switches between the past and present without any sort of warning or transition in the text to indicate that, so it takes a minute and some backtracking to realize what’s happened. All in all, if you’re looking for a quick romance with a fairly decent plot, this would be a good choice. I don’t feel this one necessarily warrants a second book though.

    Really good. I loved the relationship between Isolde and Adrian even when she was driving me crazy with her internal struggles. The spice is great and the pace of the story is good, even if the end was a bit rushed
