Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Callie Colby
Morax was once a feared Duke of Hell, commanding legions and instilling terror across the realms. Now, thanks to a humiliating curse, he is trapped in the body of an oversized, horned black cat. His days of dark conquest have been replaced by the indignity of being a pampered rescue pet, forced to endure chin scratches and belly rubs from his unsuspecting veterinarian, Finn. While Morax plots his vengeance and struggles to maintain his demonic dignity, he finds his cold, infernal heart beginning to soften under the human's relentless, infuriating kindness.
This delightful MM fantasy romance masterfully blends high-stakes demon deals with laugh-out-loud humor. As Morax navigates the absurdity of his feline form, the tension between his dark, supernatural nature and his growing affection for Finn creates an irresistible dynamic. The story perfectly captures the transition from reluctant pet to smitten suitor, proving that even the most formidable creatures of the underworld are no match for the right human.
When the curse finally breaks, the power dynamic shifts, but the true challenge for Morax is not reclaiming his throne—it is winning Finn’s heart. This paranormal romance is a must-read for fans of witty banter and unconventional love stories that are as sweet as they are spicy.

Highly amusing! What fun to see Morax, a duke of Hell turned into a kitty. When he attempts to show his displeasure at being \"rescued\" by biting off the friendly vet's fingers, he winds up booping Finn's hand instead. Of course Finn is enchanted, and so was I. Recommended! )

Loved the single point of view in this book. Enjoyed the demon humor. It tickled me. Finn was adorable. Sweet but strong and unflappable. I really enjoyed the epilogue. It is often the place where I can say goodbye to good characters while knowing their future is gonna be great. Great read. My 1st for this Author but won't be my last. )
