Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)

by Elle Mae
Raised to be nothing more than a pawn in a political marriage, Iris has spent her entire life preparing for a future she never wanted. Her fate seems sealed until a sudden kidnapping tears her away from her gilded cage and drops her into the heart of a dark, supernatural underworld. Instead of a husband, she finds herself on the auction block, purchased by Yien, a mysterious and formidable shadow demon.
This gripping sapphic dark romance explores the intoxicating shift from captive to companion. Far from the terror she expected, Iris discovers an unexpected sense of liberation in the shadow realm. As she navigates her new reality, the icy exterior of her captor begins to crack, revealing a sensitive soul that draws Iris in. What starts as a simple transaction quickly evolves into a complex, simmering attraction that challenges the boundaries of her newfound freedom.
Perfect for fans of the paranormal romance genre, this story delivers a short, addictive escape filled with high-stakes tension and forbidden chemistry. Whether you crave the thrill of an unconventional romance or the intrigue of demon lore, this series provides a deliciously indulgent guilty pleasure that keeps you hooked from the first page to the last.

Love this series. They’re totally guilty pleasure reading and o wish they were more in depth like the Contract series but maybe what makes these stories so good is that they’re short and sweet! Already preordered the twins one. I do think k it would be cool for there to be a larger more in-depth novel about the Madam and her history and what kindof person it would take to get her to fall in love. Anyway love these and this author! ) One person found this helpful

It was a good book. There were a few parts that weren't written the best, and was a slower read. Overall I would recommend this book )

I actually liked this story better than the first one. It was more palpable. Yien didn’t waste any time getting her human. And her human was made especially for her. Iris saw Yien for the different demo that she was and knew immediately that she was better off in another realm purchased by a demon than the life she left behind. I was truly married to the idea of them having their HEA! ) One person found this helpful
