King of Flesh and Bone
by Liv Zander
At least 3 book groups have recommended "King of Flesh and Bone," so I was very excited to get an audiobook from Netgalley for this one. I made it about 18% before I just couldn't take anymore. When it comes to smutty romance, I think I'm just picky. Hearing a woman do a sexy male voice by adding breathiness just didn't do it for me. Once it gets to the male PoV, the narrator changes-- but I just couldn't get into it.
I decided to restart and re-read the whole thing on Kindle Unlimited-- and I'm glad I gave this one a shot.This is a dark romance Beauty and the Beast retelling with a bit of Hades/Persephone thrown in. Because the lead male is a god that is the king of rot, I was also reminded of Raven Kennedy's Plated Prisoner series. It makes for a good combination :).
"King of Flesh and Bone" ends in a cliffhanger that takes about 40% of book two to get resolution for. Good to know that this is a duology though and both books have been published.
Make sure to check trigger warnings before reading this one, there are a lot of dark elements. Also, lots of obsession with having a baby. I think I've hit my baby book quota for the next month after this book.
Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape media for an audio copy of this book. My rating is based on the content of the book, and not the audiobook itself (or else this book would have definitely been a DNF for me).
