Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)

by S.M. Bush
When wealthy socialite Beatrice Calloway’s birthday comes to an abrupt end by the arrogant demon, Charysyllon, the unlikely duo unwillingly set out on a road trip from Hell to save her soul.
Only bad girls go to Hell.
Or at least, that’s what wealthy socialite Beatrice Calloway believed until the annoyingly handsome Soul Reposessor demon, Charysyllon, crashed her twenty-first birthday with a devastating problem: her soul has been promised to Hell and there’s nothing she can do about it.
Certain the demon has it backwards, Bea challenges him to a deal. If he allows her to prove the contract is a fraud, she will give the demon a piece of her heart, something the soulless Char desperately wants.
Plans change when a murderous biker, who looks strikingly familiar to her father’s killer, ruins her last chance at fixing her reputation. With death and Hell hot on her shiny pink heels, Bea enlists Char’s help in saving her soul.
When the two uncover a murder-for-hire plot that threatens Bea’s life and the fate of her company, it’s up to Bea to save her soul and her father’s legacy. That is, if she doesn’t give the rest of her heart to the demon first.

She's wonderfully balanced and and easy to root for, even when she's trapped in Hell!! Go Bea, go Bea!! Char is her...

It was a good read! It was sweet and cute with a demon twist. The FMC was so easy to imagine because I have met people who acted just like she did at the beginning. She went from kinda annoying to enjoyable and entertaining. )

This was definitely a fun read - I LOVED the build up, the character development, the plot, the characters, all of it. Bea and Char both are fantastic, Bradley and Annalise too. There's plenty of fun surprises and fun twists, a fantastic reveal at the end, definitely enjoyed this read for sure - 10/10 definitely recommend! Demons, soul contracts, romance, surprising redemption, new friends, righting of some wrongs, family secrets and drama, character growth, and more - what's not to love? I...

I read this so fast, I didn't even have time to tell anyone I was reading it! I'm OBSESSED! FIVE STARS!! Holy moly!! I could NOT put it down and I was LITERALLY laughing out loud. I went through a lot of emotions in this book joy, sadness, anger, back to joy. Repeat. Char is 100% book boyfriend material. This book is like Legally Blonde and Supernatural had a book baby. 1,000% recommend!!! )

Unexpectedly fast hilarious read. I picked this book at random because I wanted to read some indie authors and boy, this was a fun read. Admittedly I am not its target audience, but there's something about this book that kept me hooked till the end. It's exactly what it's advertised to be and I appreciate it so much. )
