About this book

If there's one thing Verity will consistently do, it's spontaneously make terrible decisions.

Sometimes they work out well—so far, smuggling her rescue cat into the shadow realm has been a great success—but more often than not, she ends up with a bigger mess to clean up than she started with.

If there's one thing Theon will consistently do, it's plot his brother's demise after losing his spot in the line of succession to King Allerick. It has yet to work out well for him, but there's a first time for everything, right?

Especially now that Theon has got himself an ex-hunter of his own to feed from, and he's stronger than ever.

But Verity isn't going to let Theon get away with his treasonous ways, not when he has so much to offer the shadow realm. For the first time, someone believes that Theon has the capacity to do good in the world.

If only he believed her.

Avaritia is the fourth book in the Shades of Sin series, featuring humans and their not-quite-so-human partners. Each book is a standalone, but best enjoyed in order. For mature listeners.

Shadow Daddy!

Theon's story delivers. Verity is awkward and scattered and the absolute sunshine needed to shake up Theon's grump. He's not such a villain after all. Sebastian makes a great villain, however, not just an -over-coddled Momma's boy. Definitely read the others first or you'll be lost. )

Fun smutty read.

Liked the quirky main characters. It's a monster romance so the immediate lust at first sight funny and entertaining. The characters redemption arc was kind of pat. Left me wondering about the little sister. I will probably read all the books in the series. )

Beautiful

I think I enjoyed this book the most so far in the series! Although the first book is amazing too. Really enjoying how well the realm is created. Plenty of background and story but not so much that it takes away from the love story. )

Couldn't stop reading. So sweet and fun

A monster romance that is decidedly sweet. I think I might like verity most of all - she’s just so dang honest about who she is and what she wants. Theon? I ended up liking him, though I truly disliked him in the beginning. )
