Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by CJ Speaks
Gin is the Big Bad of a backwoods Oregon county, a monster tasked with keeping the local supernatural riffraff in line. She prefers a quiet life running her ranch and hiding her provenance, especially since she possesses blades that belong to the archangels. But when a world-ending Dolmen appears on her property, her carefully constructed isolation shatters. Suddenly, every vampire, shifter, and demon in the region is crawling out of the woodwork, and the heavenly authorities are closing in to claim what she has spent years concealing.
What follows is a high-stakes descent into dark urban fantasy where the lines between hunter and prey blur. As Gin battles to keep her secrets buried, she encounters a new, terrifying presence—a creature wearing a man’s face who is intent on turning her territory into a hunting ground. He is dangerous, magnetic, and unlike any enemy she has faced before.
This gripping series opener blends gritty paranormal action with a slow-burn, dark romance that keeps readers on edge. Forget the typical fluff; this is a raw, intense journey where the spice is sharp and the stakes are lethal. If you are craving a story where the heroine is just as monstrous as the villains she fights, Gin’s world is the perfect place to get lost.

I bought this book for my wife and her friend and they loved it. Dark urban fantasy with spice but not like a typical romance (according to her) )
