Product Information

Even still, it offered some sort of connection to our past, to the way things used to be, and I needed to believe they’d be that way again. Primal, almost, reaching down into the very center of me and pulling out a raw hunger I didn’t want to shy away from. Hadriel:“I realize that comment would’ve gone over a lot better had I not been wearing a purple beast costume with my cock hanging out. Boys who like boys, girls who like girls, boys who like girls, girls who like boys—they’ll all want to shame-fuck the new hot girl. I stepped lightly and carefully, aiming for springing ground and avoiding anything that might snap or crinkle.

I also liked the secondary characters and found myself laughing at some of the internal dialogue between her and her inner beast. A new dark and spicy romantasy with forbidden romance, gripping action, and a heat that smolders the pages. After three years on the run, I’m back in a Resistance camp, chained to a chair as the resident monster.I used to love wandering by the various stalls, looking at the beautiful hand-blown glass, the fun designs on the needlework, and the art and sculptures. Jedrek stalked up to me with the swagger of a champion, his thick arms swinging, his chin held high, and his shining black hair catching the sun. My abilities were limited to healing, hunting, fishing, gardening, and narrowly escaping the beast of the Forbidden Wood.

However, despite being at times turned on by what she’s witnessed, Finley wants Nyfain’s body rather than those that she sees writhing in the rooms. Unfortunately, Finley does not realize the full extent of what he is saying, though you, as a reader, do.

Expect some back and forth between them and a little bit of whiplash - but you won’t be disappointed with the redemption. Nyfain: "In the old days, it wouldn’t have mattered where you came from—with that skill, you would’ve stood out. After selecting two more books of renewed interest and grabbing my hate-fuck smut, I went home the long way. I'm not generally a prude but the graphic, in-your-face language and scenarios, particularly the Hadriel character, seemed overly aggressive and killed the romance element for me at times. Nyfain shows up and kills the demon outside of her door before he takes her out to harvest the everlass for the elixir.

He points to the rosebush–a flower that his mother used to love because it described her–embedded in the floor of the room and tells Finley that the only real living section of the rosebush is the one that stands for her village. Overall, while there were some elements that meant isn't wasn't quite a 5 star read for me, the book was still really enjoyable and I'll definitely be going on with the next installment. With over three million books sold, when she's not penning stories about magic and what goes bump in the night, she's sipping wine and planning shenanigans. He might be covered in scars, but the Beast, when man, is hot as sin, and with a mind rivalling the beauty’s. It got to the point that I was more concerned about hygiene because there was no running water to help with all this body fluid lol.Travelers would come to our market, bringing their special skills and wares, and the villagers created finer arts and crafts to sell to the outsiders. Besides, I’ve been in and out of that field a bunch of times over the last few years with no problems. There is an implication that both Finley and Nyfain’s shapeshifting sides are attracted to each other and they are possible mates. Someone older and more experienced was supposed to guide a young shifter through the change on the first full moon after their sixteenth birthday, but our powers had been suppressed long before my coming of age. The sound of a wailing baby tore through the night air, desperately close, twenty yards or so to my left.
