Dahlia is a an outcast in the city of King's Fall. After her mother's death, her stepfather forcibly tries to gain control of the family legacy by pushing Dahlia into marriages she doesn't want. She flees, right into the arms of the necromancer (lich) lord who, unbeknownst to her, has been nursing an obsession with her from afar. He immediately welcomes her into the protection of his household, and they quickly realize that more nightmarish forces are at play. As they fall in love, they have to figure out how to defeat the monstrous forces together, along with the eclectic inhabitants of the Manor.
This book was overall such a fun romp! I read the synopsis and was immediately drawn into the concept of gothic horror romance with Eldritch monsters.
I love monster romance, so if you've never read any, be prepared for tentacles and extra limbs in places where you might not normally think to find them. This book has explicit sex scenes, which are very spicy and a little zany.
The found family element was my absolute favourite part. The secondary characters were so loveable and provided a much needed sense of humour to the story because the horror moments were genuinely scary, so if that's your jam, get excited about a truly villainous antagonist.
The timeline felt slightly chaotic, and the prologue really throws you into the world without much exposition but I was really just along for the ride. Lizzie writes with a lot of joy and I'll be digging into her backlist. So excited for this one to release and see what the author does next!

“For the last five years, Dahlia Grayskull has sought solace in the shadows of the decrepit, and supposedly abandoned, Rosemont Manor.”
“Unbeknownst to her, Lord Sebastian Rosemont has been watching her traipse through his deadly garden and read books to the graves in his yard. The Lich Lord is very protective over what he considers his, and Dahlia is his now...whether she knows it or not.”
How to Marry a Lich is a dark, gothic
monster romance with interesting, diverse characters and mysterious plot. The book had some really funny moments but also dark themes. I really liked both the FMC & MMC and how they interacted. The supporting characters were funny and lovable.
The storyline was mysterious and full of surprises that I didn’t expect or see coming. Quirky and bizarre story in a interesting way.
Definitely 18+ read because of the spicy scenes.
Overall a fun and fast read. Not for you if you’re looking for a super serious story, but a fun read for those who want to laugh and have a good time. Perfect if you like Addam’s family with spice.
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
