A Dance Macabre by Naomi Loud

dark mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.5

Thank you so much to Good Girls PR & Naomi Loud for the ARC!! 

This was a true enemies to lovers story and I really enjoyed the complete hatred between Wolfgang & Mercy at the beginning and watching them give in to each other. By the end I was picturing Gomez & Morticia Addams- so obsessed with each other it makes you disgusted and jealous all at the same time. All of the spicy scenes were insanely hot. Especially how they *ahem* first connected… ⚫️

“So much has happened since then. So much has happened between us. And here we are now. At the very crescendo of our forbidden dance. A dance macabre, where the threat of our own deaths did not even stop us.” 

Pravitia gives me sin city vibes, it’s a city founded on dark sins and desires. The night clubs, and night club activities were HOT. I know this is described as morally black and very dark, and while I agree there was a lot of murder of innocent people, it wasn’t dark in the way that some books are. Maybe because of the fantasy/paranormal aspect? Idk how to explain it. 

“My ruin,” I groan deeply, my forehead pressed to hers. “You look divine. A goddess amongst mortals. The entire city is undeserving to even lay eyes on you.”

I loved how unhinged all of the characters are and I truly cannot wait to read more about Gemini and the rest of the six ruling families. This book was delicious.
