About this listen

*This standalone novella is a character-driven, slow burn dark villain romance set in an original fantasy universe.*

River Anderson finally snapped.

Now she’s on the run, the stench of copper clinging to her fingers like the phantom smell of sin.

When her car breaks down on a deserted forest road in the middle of the night, search for help leads her to an abandoned, decrepit estate—and what should have been a deadly accident.

Instead of death, however, River gets a second chance at life.

A fresh start in another realm, one like those she’s always dreamed of, seeking escapism from reality in fantasy books and horror video games.

Yet a world of thrilling magic and terrifying creatures isn’t the sole adventure awaiting her. The greatest enigma is her mysterious host: A veiled, charming gentleman, offering her shelter and respite in his luxurious mansion.

But River isn’t the only one with a dark secret and debased urges.

While she finds herself irresistibly attracted to this kind stranger, she realizes he might just be the most dangerous monster of all.

Dark and Lovely

You know those books that crawl inside of you and leave you feeling hungover when you finish them? That's what this book did to me. Not only did this book make me cry on multiple occasions, but it made me laugh, and it made me smile.
As with most of Cyran's books, I highly recommend reading the content warnings before reading this. The characters are morally black and have no qualms about saying so. That being said, this book ticked so many boxes for me. It was a mix of Gothic romance, Dark romance, monster romance, smut, and the fuzzy happy ending that you would expect from a contemporary romance.
In addition to ticking all my usual boxes, River was the most relatable character that I have ever read. The way that her mental health struggles are discussed and the emotions that Cyran was able to convey through River was a cathartic experience for me. Just River's conversation with Yrvaeth in chapter 11 was more potent and cathartic than any therapy session I have ever been too. A lot of us read fantasy to escape the world, so having a character that I could escape with, and relate to, that wasn't the perfect frilly heroine was incredible. And the fact that I have read so many of Cyran's books and she tied this one seamlessly into The Unbeating Heart made me almost giddy. This book is my new favorite and I will be buying it in a hard copy so I can make it my new favorite dark comfort read.
