Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by M. J. Lawrie
I summoned them for vengeance, but I ended up shackled to a fate far more intoxicating. As a living vessel for the Brotherhood, I have endured endless torment, serving as a conduit for the three demons they worship. Yet, the Brotherhood fails to realize a terrifying truth: the hellish entities they command have been worshipping me all along. Now, the monsters under the floorboards have offered a deal that will change everything.
This dark paranormal romance is a descent into a chaotic hell-realm where the lines between agony and ecstasy dissolve. On Halloween night, I am faced with a choice that demands everything. If I set these demons free, they promise to burn my tormentors to ash, but the price of my retribution is total surrender. I must allow them to break, consume, and possess me until I am pushed past every boundary I once held dear.
Perfect for readers craving forced-proximity and found-family dynamics with a lethal, supernatural edge, this novella is a bloody, unhinged masterpiece. It is a fast-paced, gore-infested revenge bath that strips away any hope of salvation. If you are looking for a spicy, twisted Halloween read that will leave you breathless, step into the darkness and prepare to be claimed.

This was a wonderful little book! I love the blood, sex, and gore. M.J. is one of my favorite dark fantasy romance authors and all her books are awesome!! This was a wildly good time and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Wouldn't mind having a small series for this one tho. )

This may have been a fast-paced, gore infested revenge bath, but it was also a roller-coaster of spicy unhinged chaos. This is definitely perfect for the Halloween twisted lovers, but it is packed with triggers and body parts, so be aware of your mindset before jumping into this doozy. When I first picked this quick read, I was expecting a pretty general but enjoyable outlook for a Halloween read, with a touch of darkness and plenty of spice going along well served on the side of an HEA.

I started out reading The Last Witch and Their Bloodrite series, beautiful and traumatic all at once. Only the best books can tear you apart and stitch you back together along with the MC. While this is a shorter novel, it still takes you for one hell of a ride. The characters, MC development and whitty banter remind me why I love dark romance. This was new level of dark that I ate right up along with the MC. Favorite author hands down and this book keeps that feeling going. )

Read it. It’s dark and delicious. Probably top 3 novella now. Lust, pain, & fear are shadow daddies that nightmares are made of ;). Can’t wait to see what other books she comes out with. )

A deliciously devilish read that will leave you wanting more of them. I know I do. This author knows what she is doing and does it so very well. )
