About this book

Although she's spent her life in the human realm, Iris has always lived in the shadows.

When the chance to escape presents itself, it seems too good to pass up. Even if it means traveling to another realm—a realm filled with mysterious monsters, no less.

Anything is better than this, right?

Damen is everyone's favorite prince. Charming, funny, and quick to bring levity to any situation.

But everyone close to him knows that Damen is capable of being so much more. Their opinions have never mattered too much to him before, because why make life hard when it could be easy?

Until he meets someone whose opinion is everything to him. Who has never had life easy. Who believes in him more than he believes in himself.

For Iris, there's no obstacle Damen won't face.

Acedia is the final book in the Shades of Sin series, featuring humans and their not-quite-so-human partners. For mature listeners. This series is best enjoyed in order, starting with book one, Luxuria.

🫅🏻Damen & Iris & Tilly 🐕‍🦺

March 5, 2025

GAHH, I can't believe it's over. This series boo my expectations through the roof when I started it!! I honestly just started this because I was in the mood for a monster romance, but I am someone that has to have plot and loving and this was the series that popped up when I googled \"Monster Romance with Good Plot\" .. So I figured I'd give the first book a try and if I liked it I would maybe read one or two more. I had no idea that I would literally fall in love with this series and all of...

Blind Sheltered FMC and Charming Unserious MMC

January 3, 2025

There was a bit of inconsistency in this book as far as when Iris was no longer hidden from the visiting Hunters (Sebastian and Cora) as it said she had met them, then that they didn’t know she was there, then she had met them again. It didn’t cause too much confusion but a reader who’s paying attention might notice it. Aside from that, the disability representation was good, though it may have glossed over the problems someone would experience from a disability even with a caring partner as...

This is a sweet and endearing conclusion to the series. Although listed as standalones, the books are highly interconnected and make more sense when read in order. While the timeline jumps between stories, major plot developments unfold sequentially. The thematic sin for this book is acedia, also known as sloth or apathy. The MMC is Damen, the charming but apathetic shade prince we’ve seen in previous books, while the FMC is Iris, a sweet and blind ex-hunter, accompanied by her dog Tilly. The...

Finally, The series is over

April 15, 2025

This book started off strong with Damen bring my most anticipated MMC but unfortunately took a nose dive about 50 pages in. Spoilers from here on out, so beware. I had a love hate relationship with Iris’s character, mainly because it really seemed like the author couldn’t decide if she was meek and sweet or hardcore deviant for the monsters. She was described as basically never been touched (and is blind) but yet is super willing and desperate for tendril action? She was describes as a v*rgin...
