Master of Salt & Bones

De: Keri Lake

Narrado por: Stefanie Kay, Ryan West

Meet the Devil of Blackthorne Manor.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born.

Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined.

In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Lucian Blackthorne is as cursed as I am, and equally shunned by the locals, the fishers of men, who believe him to be the devil in the flesh.

Perhaps he is, with the way his amber eyes draw me in, ignite me like an infernal blaze. And the sins he whispers in my ear are as wickedly intoxicating as the man himself.

Yet, his touch is heaven and his will is my weakness.

He calls us forbidden, an unsalvageable tragedy, with no happy end. Maybe we are. But in this story, he’s the one who needs saving.

Master of Salt & Bones is a dark, modern gothic contemporary standalone romance.

A dark thrilling adventure

I live for a dark-thrilling adventure. The gloomy atmosphere of this story flourished with each page. I wasn’t prepared for the twist of events, and the suspense was eating at me. In the end, I’m happy to have found some closure. Will be continuing to read the rest of Keri’s backlist. I haven’t come across a book of KL’s that I haven’t enjoyed.

The production of this audiobook was so well done. I couldn’t find one slip up and every scene was so intriguing and satisfying. Ryan West and Stephanie Kay were both enthusiastic and entertaining. I felt the terror and romance of this gothic tale through their performance and loved every bit of this audiobook.

Wow 🤩

I really enjoyed this listen. It gives you everything you could possibly want. I’m a fan of books that are similar to 50 shades but I have to be in the mood for them. This was a good one. I enjoyed it so much that I listened to the majority of it in a day pretty much. Both characters were tortured souls and that was something that bonded them and made them work. Even the staff at the manor were likable and well written. Some books I’ve listened to will not explain past and present and are confusing but not this one, this was clear. It was for sure worth the credit. I think the only criticism I would have about this is that it is not a series. I would love to read further adventures with Issa and Lucian.

Twisty

It was all very good! I enjoyed this read very much! I would highly recommend to those who like a dark and gritty romance.

SLOWWWW BURN

worth it. Not much spice but romantic and thrilling. Good narration. Good story. Warm fuzzy ending

Great book

I enjoyed this book so much. I could not put this one down. Well done!

Cheap tropes, great performance

The writing really tried to be good, but it was a rollercoaster of quality throughout the book. Once I started rolling my eyes every paragraph I had to give up on it. I will say the narration is great!

Dark and Consuming Romance

I wasn't sure I'd like this book, at first. I'm not usually one for age-gap romance, but this was quite steamy and tense when the "action " was happening. Lucian had my heart from the beginning. An outcast, tortured and afflicted man. Isadora, similar to our Lucian, an outcast in her own right battling demons of her own. There were twists and turns that I did NOT see coming, which was a welcome feeling. A nice gothic romance that I recommend, truly.

Loved it

I don’t think I have found a book by Keri Lake that I haven’t enjoyed. I really love how the author is able to tell a story from the past and present without making things confusing. I appreciate that the author incorporates an age gap but in tasteful way. Keri always delivers on plot and spice, A+

Dark Romance

This was probably a good book for someone who loves dark romance. I think this is just not the genre for me. The story line was interesting so it earned 3 stars from me.

perfection

I'm sad its over but it was wrapped up nicely. I do wonder if there will ever be a sequel to see what happens with the secret society and if they ever go after them. The spice was good and not too excessive but the story of their romance was phenomenal. Idk how to say how much I loved the twists, turns, and mystery of this book without ruining the story but, just read it. You won't regret it. Oh, and the narrators did an amazing job as well. A bad narrator can ruin a story, just like a good narrator can save a bad story. But put together great narrators and an amazing story? pfft. You'd be silly not to listen to this one.
