by Opal Reyne
All Raewyn ever wanted was to go home.
After accidentally creating a portal to another realm, Raewyn finds herself trapped in a world she’s struggling to navigate. Desperate to find those with magic who can help her, she sets out on a dangerous journey to another town.
Unfortunately, on her travels, she learns there are bigger and scarier monsters than the Demons she knows of – and one of them won’t let her get away.
All Merikh ever wanted was to escape.
For a hundred and eighty years, Merikh has been hunting for a way off Earth. He doesn’t care who he has to eat, kill, or maim to get what he wants. So, when his prey ends up being a lost Elf, he realises this is his opportunity.
She’s prettier than any creature he’s ever seen, and so damn perfect that it’s impossible to resist her otherworldly lure.
But Merikh destroys everything he touches. Will he be able to overcome years of hatred and anger to allow himself to get close to her, or will he lose her in the process?

5/5 ⭐ 5/5 🌶️ **Tropes** - Grumpy x Sunshine - Enemies to Lovers (Kinda) - Portal to Another World - Disabled FMC - Black FMC 📖 **My Thoughts** God, what didn't I like about this book? It's taken over as my favorite for sure, sorry Orpheus. Our MMC is just such a grumpy grump, but such a softie for our FMC, who is such a spitfire and yet so compassionate. They're both people with a past and ambitious goals for the future, and to see them make space for eachother in that future was so...

Where and how do I begin! Raewyn is visually impaired, Elvish scientist and elected official from a distant planet. Due to an unfortunate accident in her lab, she gets sucked into a portal and ends up on Earth. As...

Opal Reyne does it again with her 4th installment in this Duskwalker Bride series! I didn’t like it as much as the third one, but that’s a personal opinion. The last 20% of this book was riveting, and if I felt I hit a slow part during this read, the climax and conclusion more than made up for it. Merikh is the oldest brother, and the one with the most humanity. Raewyn is an Elf, and their worlds collide in all the best ways. This author does an excellent job of representing so many different...

4.5 out of 5 Hoooo, boy! I have a bit of a confession to make, and no its not what you're thinking. When I first read the premise of A Soul to Keep, the first book of the Duskwalker Brides series, I thought it was right up my alley! A fantasy-romance with an in-human monster who never changes into a handsome prince or princess? That is the only romance I will ever accept. Sadly, I didn't heed that little, specific, spice warning Miss Reyne wrote at the start of the book, because as someone who...
