Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Taylor Aston White
Lucifer has spent an eternity trading the shadows of Hell for a hard-won peace among the Guardians. But when an old nemesis resurfaces, his path to redemption is derailed by an unlikely complication: Scarlet. A celestial with a sharp tongue and a frost-covered heart, Scarlet is on a secret mission of vengeance, and her only way forward is to spy on the man she was raised to despise. Forced into proximity, these two polar opposites are thrust into a deadly game where the stakes are nothing less than their souls.
This final installment of the Curse of the Guardians series is a masterclass in dark paranormal romance. It perfectly balances the high-stakes tension of a war against the Daemon King with the magnetic pull of a forbidden, enemies-to-lovers connection. With a dynamic that flips the grumpy-sunshine trope on its head, the chemistry between the hedonistic, unhinged Lucifer and the driven, vengeful Scarlet creates an addictive, slow-burn intensity that is impossible to put down.
Fans of the series will find this the most emotional chapter yet, offering a bittersweet, deeply satisfying conclusion to Lucy’s journey. Whether you crave celestial intrigue or a heart-wrenching romance that defies heaven and hell, this is the perfect finale to binge.

This maybe my favorite book of the series. And the end chef kiss.. This for me was the most emotional book of the series and Lucy is one of my favorite guardians. This book has it all, it will have you laughing and crying throughout the whole thing. Just know that the end is worth it. This whole series is great and you won't regret reading it. )

My favorite book of the series. I love Lucy and his antics. The end battle felt a little anticlimactic but still good and I enjoyed most part of the story. Loved that Lucy got a happy ending in the end. )

Such a fun paranormal romance. This story really has everything. Good vs Evil, angels, demons, magic, and a good little enemies to lovers story. There is a mystery element that keeps you guessing and then feels really satisfying when it’s resolved. The audio for this book fit so well with the story and really enhanced the character development. Alexa Borys and D.B. West did such a great job with these characters. There were so many side characters and so many different voices. They both did so...

Love this addition to the series! This one has wonderful main characters as well as amazing secondary friends and family. This one easily kept my interest and had me chuckling. Once the action started it became crazy! Lucy and Scar are both fascinating! They have great back stories mixed with their strength. The audio is perfect and both narrators do an outstanding job. )
