Publisher's summary

All Reia ever wanted was freedom.

Known as a harbinger of bad omens and blamed for Demons eating her family, Reia is shunned by her entire village. When the next offering is due and the monstrous Duskwalker is seen heading their way, her village offers her an impossible choice—be thrown into the prison cells or allow herself to be sacrificed to a faceless monster.

However, he is not what he seems. His skull face and glow eyes are ethereal, and she finds herself unwittingly enchanted by him.

All Orpheus ever wanted was a companion.

Each decade, in exchange for a protection ward from the Demons that terrorize the world, Orpheus takes a human offering to the Veil—the place he lives and the home of Demons. The brief companionship does little to ease his loneliness, and their lives were always, unfortunately, cut short.

He'd thought it was a hopeless endeavor, until he met her. She’s not afraid of him, and his insatiable desire deepens within every moment of her presence.

But will Orpheus be able to convince Reia to stay before she’s lost to him forever?

Too hot for me

I’m not a big fan of the hot and steamy stories. I wish audible would put the steamy meter back so they are easier to spot.

That being said I have to say I loved the story. It’s a new twist on the beauty and the beast trope. It drew me in and kept me reading. The narrators did an excellent job bringing the characters to life. But it does get a little too hot and heavy for my taste. However even when it became apparent this was hotter than I liked I had already become invested in the characters and had to keep reading to find out what happened. (And yes I do mean read. KindleUnlimited has it in their catalog so I started reading it to help skim over the more notty parts)

Bottom line: If you like hot stuff romances this is a great book. If you prefer more mild romances, like me, than I’d look elsewhere.

Amazing

Loved everything about this book. I wish there were more to listen too! Please do the entire series

ON REPLAY

I just discovered these series and SO GLAD I did! I hope the entire series gets of audible 💕 The performance was great, especially for our monster man 💕 can’t wait for the rest to come out. Till then I’ll have to get the rest of the books and read them, but also re listen to this

I adore this series!

I bought the audiobook immediately even though I've already read through the book version, and it did not disappoint at all. I really hope the rest of the series follows in this format!

spicy

good story, great narration and oh so spicy. what more could you want. waiting very impatiently for book #2

10/10

I have read the released book in this series multiple times (in the year it’s been out) and enjoy them just as much as the first. The narrators did an exceptional job and I can’t wait to listen to the rest.

The voice acting was so good!!!!

I have read the book before but the voice acting was so good love it to dead can't wait for the others to come out aswell!

Very good! Well Written and Great Plot

I'm obsessed with this series now. I gave 5 out of 5 stars for the story, the great detail to the stories world and the intricacies of it. I don't have the attention span to sit an read anymore so I have to wait for the others to be added here but it's worth the wait. The only critic that I have is, was it necessary to call the readers our like that in the beginning haha. I guess Opal wasn't wrong though lol, they know their audience but geez take it easy on us next time lol.

Long Awaited Perfection!!

I’ve been waiting so long for this! I’ve read this series over and over!! I love it more each read and couldn’t wait for the audio!! I was not disappointed. Seriously, this is perfection.

I loved this so much ❤️

The book is well written and the chemestry between the characters is great. The FMC can get annoying at times, but there always has to be a character like that 🤷🏻‍♀️. Very much recommend!
