About this book
Born into the Shadow Family, a woman’s existence is measured solely by her utility. Destined to be a vessel for the next generation of supernatural soldiers, she is traded away in an arranged marriage to the powerful witch Caden Davenport. But the promise of safety is shattered on their wedding day when a brutal werewolf attack leaves her kidnapped, tortured, and broken. Even after a harrowing rescue, her nightmare is far from over. Her husband still demands the offspring he was promised, forcing her to navigate a landscape where her body is a battleground and her autonomy is non-existent.
This is a visceral entry into the dark romance genre, pushing the boundaries of the paranormal world. It is not for the faint of heart; it is a haunting, intense exploration of survival and control. Readers should approach with caution, as the narrative is unapologetically raw and unsettling, demanding both patience and a box of tissues.
For those who crave high-stakes, gothic-tinged vampire and werewolf lore blended with devastating emotional stakes, this story delivers an unforgettable experience. If you are searching for a dark, complex read that refuses to pull any punches, this is the gripping, visceral journey you have been waiting for.

This is one of those books you really have to pace yourself with, like it was so unsettling/depressing that I had to put it down a couple times (But I knew it was gonna be a f***** up read, that's why I bought it LoL) + I bought the hard edition 🥴. Miranda Grant's books are well written though and I usually have to read her books in a Horror erotica mindset to get through them. ) 2 people found this helpful

This book is absolutely disgusting. I threw it into the garbage. I could not stomach to read anymore of it. Warning to anyone that this book is filled with twisted infant sexual abuse in very graphic detail. I am speaking of detailed sexual abuse on a 2 month old child. You have to be seriously messed up in your mind to have these thoughts and then put them to paper without having any issues with it. If I could give this a zero star rating, I would. Absolutely sickening. The author should be...

Wow. Just wow. First let me start with the writing in this book was phenomenal. I absolutely loved her writing and it made this book worth it. Now for the other parts. This book was incredibly hard to read, but not because it wasn’t good. It was brutal. Seriously I have never had a book I could not read through without HAVING to take a break. This book required many breaks, and it took me a little over a month to finish because it took such a toll on my head and heart. The storyline overall was...
