I decided to read this because a friend said she loved this series. It was the first monster romance that I have read and I have to say I liked it more than I thought but I am unsure if I want to continue the series. Thank you @opalreyne for a great book. The love between Orpheus and Reia was so sweet. I also loved the narrators for this book and will be looking for other books they have narrated in the future. 

 

Blurb: 

 

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 glowing 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? 

 

Again such a great book and if you are into monster romance I could not recommend it enough. For my first time trying this trope I give it 4 ⭐️ and 3.5 spice. 

 

Happy reading everyone 📚
