 USA TODAY BESTSELLER

A mysterious inheritance draws orphaned teacher Darcy O’Sullivan to the eerie coastal town of Fairydale, where she becomes entangled in a deadly love triangle while facing an ancient evil that could destroy them all in this haunting and seductive blend of gothic horror and historical fantasy.

“I might be evil personified, but you’re the only one I’ll ever be good to.”

August 1955: When Miss Darcy O’Sullivan, an orphaned English teacher from Boston, receives a letter finding out that her biological father passed away, she is surprised to find herself included in his will. There is only one condition. She must travel to Fairydale to attend his funeral.

With the promise of a sizeable inheritance, Darcy decides to journey to the small coastal town that holds the secrets of her birth. But the moment she steps foot into Fairydale, things start to go amiss. There are odd rumors, odd deaths, and even odd men—especially brooding Caleb Hale—part of the infamous Hale family.

During the day, she falls deeper and deeper under Caleb’s spell as he forces her to step out of her comfort zone and embrace her inner sensuality. But at night, it’s another man who haunts her dreams—Amon d’Artan, a nobleman who lived two centuries ago. Amon is sweet and suave where Caleb is intense and dangerous. Soon, she finds herself embroiled in a web of lies, deceit, and inexplicable events that make her question her sanity. And when an ancient evil threatens the town and everything Darcy holds dear, she must make the ultimate choice. But will she survive it? Dark Fantasy Fantasy Historical Fiction Paranormal Boston

I think this book was better than a lot of these very raved about books out there and the romantasy sphere. Maybe it’s not as popular. Because it is very adult and a lot of the ones that are arranged about everyone on book etc. Are very teenager so if you are an adult but you love Romantasy this might be for you.

Interesting concept and I actually really started to get into it

Between the ditzy Disney princess voice, and the deep, trying to be sexy male voice (which I couldn’t even understand though my car audio most of the time), the preface says not to skim this book. Don’t worry, you can skim, because some character somewhere will over explain everything very, very soon.
I feel gaslit by the reviews I’ve seen of this book but I’m guessing now they have very low standards and/or literacy. I’m DNF at 34%, no way could I get through another 21 hours of this nonsense.

The dumb FMC

Really liked the last third of the book. First 2/3 dragged and nearly dnf’d multiple times

Slow start

That one good reads review trapped me into listening to this book. I persevered thinking maybe there would be a plot twist or something. No. No there was not

Actually horrible

I think the title lured me in and the preview was misleading, not at all an accurate depiction of what was to unfold. Terrible, I tried to push on (many times) - literally cannot continue. If I hear “my Amon” again, I will die. I found her high pitched voice irritating and the male lead sounds like an old pervert - not the spice we wanted. Uncomfortable, messy flip through the past and future.
The opening was quite decent then it spiralled down hill so far beyond help.

I cannot
