Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Nikkita Bell
Reagan Valentine is a succubus tired of being the underpaid, overworked underdog of Hollywood’s infernal underworld. When her boss, the Demon of Debauchery, offers her a promotion in exchange for corrupting a dangerous demon hunter, she leaps at the chance. Her target is Jeremy Roache, an unstable Nephilim with a shattered soul, but what begins as a calculated professional hit quickly spirals into a lethal game of desire and deception.
This dark romance plunges readers into a gritty, high-stakes version of hell where ambition is a currency and loyalty is a liability. As the second installment in the Hellion Harlot Collection, the story masterfully weaves together complex demonic politics, fiery enemies-to-lovers tension, and the volatile chemistry between a succubus and her prey. It is a seductive, fast-paced ride through the shadows of the city, perfect for fans of True Blood and Sin City who crave a fierce, unapologetic protagonist.
Will Reagan sacrifice her last shred of morality to climb the ladder, or will the man she was sent to destroy be the one to save her? With a perfect blend of supernatural thrills and steam, this story proves that the worst decisions often lead to the most intoxicating consequences.

Consider me blown away by the fact that Nikkita Bell topped her first book with its sequel To Hell With Bad Decisions. You still get to play in this fantastic world she created, but the stakes are higher, emotional depth is deeper, the art is somehow even better than the first book, and the world building continues to grow. Reagan Valentine the woman that you are! I love Reagan. She’s badass, complex, and gives us another version of what a strong fmc looks like (while still being different from...

🌶🌶🌶🌶 ARE YOU KIDDING ME NIKKITA?? Steal my soul and call me a demon, because this was phenomenal and I would now like to marry my ultimate book wife, Reagan. Please and thank you. This book was everything. Honestly it deserves more than 5 stars. Nikkita Bell is a master of world building and creating characters.
