Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by K.J. Sutton
Vendetta is a woman defined by a singular, bloody purpose: to hunt down the monster that destroyed her life and stole her future. She is no longer the sweet, innocent girl she once was; she has been hardened by trauma and fueled by a relentless need for vengeance. In this gripping start to the Vendetta Duology, the lines between hero and villain blur as she navigates a world of supernatural threats and broken laws.
But the hunt is far from simple. With the authorities closing in, Vendetta finds herself caught in a dangerous game against a handsome, enigmatic figure whose Irish charm is as deadly as his intent to see her punished. As the clock ticks down, she must rely on an unlikely found family to survive the shadows, balancing her thirst for retribution against the growing, slow-burn tension that threatens to distract her from her mission.
If you are looking for a dark, atmospheric paranormal romance that feels like a collision between The Cruel Prince and Rhapsodic, this is your next obsession. K.J. Sutton delivers a visceral, high-stakes tale of royal intrigue, demonic encounters, and a protagonist whose journey toward justice is as captivating as it is ruthless.

Wow I can’t wait for book 2! The author’s writing only gets better with each book she writes and the character for Soulless is a vibe! Minus the fact that she is avenging her fiancés death, Vendetta is the woman I wanted to be when I was a child, powers and all! And the cover is beautiful! )

Another excellent book from K.j Sutton. True to from she grabs you right away with a captivating beginning and holds that energy until all of a sudden the book is at the end and you're wishing for part two. Vendetta is on a mission to destroy the creature who took everything from her. Unfortunately for her she's also being hunted while doing the hunting. This book takes us through exactly what she is willing to do to find this monster, including some monstrous acts herself. This is book one, so...
Dark, original and utterly brilliant. totally loved this story of Vendetta, an avenging goddess who somehow is still worthy of redemption while she seeks revenge. I thought this book was well handled, with the right amount of tension and vulnerability. I cannot wait for book 2 and see how Shay and Vendetta fare. Really hope that the writer also decides to finish the Voyant series which I also loved. )
