Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Larissa Ione
Tavin is a former assassin haunted by the ultimate sacrifice: killing the woman he loved to save her from a fate far worse than death. Now a paramedic at Underworld General Hospital, he spends his existence trying to scrub the blood from his soul, yet he remains trapped by the crushing weight of his guilt. He believes he has lost everything, unaware that the past he buried is clawing its way back to the surface.
Deja remembers every one of her dozens of past lives, but only one memory burns with the intensity of a thousand suns: the moment her lover ended her life. Reborn from the depths of a nightmarish hell realm, she returns with a singular, icy focus on vengeance. When an unexpected turn of events forces these two damaged souls into close quarters, the line between lethal hatred and undeniable desire begins to blur.
This gripping entry in the Demonica series masterfully blends high-stakes paranormal action with a poignant second-chance romance. As a new, darker threat emerges to target them both, Tavin and Deja must decide if their fragile bond can survive the truth of their history. For readers who crave intense world-building and raw, emotional stakes, this story is an addictive must-read.

I'm so addicted to this series. I have all of her books in this series, and I still want more. Tavin and Deja, two tortured People. Tavin a Seminous Demon and Deja a Needthal Demon. Coming together together after many years. Tavin killed her in an earlier life, and now she wants revenge, but somebody wants them both dead. Will not go into anymore details, you will just have to read it. I would suggest starting with the first book of the series called Pleasure Unbound and go from there. Once you...

4 stars - It was really good Tavin has been a background character in this series since Sin and Lore were introduced. He was a member of their assassin’s guild and had a pretty rough time there. Now that he is free of that contract, he is working at Underworld General trying to do some good to repay all the death he inflicted. Unfortunately, his victims have been reincarnated and are out for revenge, including the love of his life. Tavin and Deja’s story was really good. I love a good second...

I pray this series never ends! It blows my mind at how intricately entwined each book of the series is with each other. How characters from the first books pop up and even get their own story...Tavin! This is one of my new favorites, the story is incredible and I love that so many people from former stories are in here. I absolutely love the plot of this book. A scorned/ murdered former lover, back from the dead to avenge herself... how could this not be an amazing story?! It's funny, sad,...
