4.5 amazing stars! This story definitely fit the creepy, mystery vibe I was going for, with all the sexual tension I needed!

Isadora is more than your typical unique girl who loves to read and is an outcast amongst her peers. She has a darker, seedier underbelly than even she knows. And the only person who can see her for exactly who she is and still want her, is the devil himself. The Devil of Bonesalt.

Lucian Blackthorne is mystery and intrigue, scars and pain, sexy and sinister all at once. His character was the most dynamic and captivating to me. His past and his present held so many questions that the author only ever doles out in tiny spoonfuls and I ate it up.

I’m thrilled to read more by Keri Lake!

At first I was quite confused, as Goodreads has this tagged as a Fantasy Romance….. which is surely is NOT.

I had this book on my physical TBR cart for far too long… years.

Surprisingly I really enjoyed it, it was dark, creepy, and not at all what I expected. The twists and turns were plentifully, the spice was good, but not overly done or too dark, and it turned out to be a captivating read! If you are looking for a Dark Suspenseful Romance this is one id put on the list

* But, be sure to check trigger warnings before reading as it does it some very touchy subjects*
