All Reia ever wanted was freedom. Known as a harbinger of bad omens and blamed for Demons eating her family, Reia is shunned by her entire village. When the next offering is due and the monstrous Duskwalker is seen heading their way, her village offers her an impossible choice - be thrown into the prison cells or allow herself to be sacrificed to a faceless monster. However, he is not what he seems. His skull face and glow eyes are ethereal, and she finds herself unwittingly enchanted by him. All Orpheus ever wanted was a companion. Each decade, in exchange for a protection ward from the Demons that terrorise the world, Orpheus takes a human offering to the Veil - the place he lives and the home of Demons. The brief companionship does little to ease his loneliness, and their lives were always, unfortunately, cut short. He'd thought it was a hopeless endeavour, until he met her. She's not afraid of him, and his insatiable desire deepens within every moment of her presence. But will Orpheus be able to convince Reia to stay before she's lost to him forever?… (more)

Only reason this is not five stars as I was not hooked by the end of chapter 2. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be reading the second. I was obsessed by halfway through from Reia and Orpheus bad past to them coming together against all odds. This isn’t just a smutty book but the ‘monster’ smut is absolutely positively amazing. Again only 4 stars cuz I wasn’t hooked by chapter two reason why I’m not too much of a fan of slow burns this is more of a medium burn to me wasn’t right off the bat but didn’t have to wait till the end.

This is one of my favorite books ever, I was obsessed within the first 50 pages and then didnt put it down for 12 hours. If I could actually fall in love with a character it would be Orpheus. Cant wait to read the second and third ( )

Okay, I loved this way more that I thought I would. The plot was interesting and it unfolded at the right pace, the relationship between Orpheus and Reia was perfect. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. ( )
