Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Kel Carpenter
My Ex. My Liar. My Demon.
My type is bad boys that will screw me over and leave me walking funny. No matter how much they tempt me or my ruined heart—I know better than to trust my own taste in men.
My ex taught me that love isn't sweet, patient, or kind. It's cruel and it hurts. He'll do anything for a second chance, but I can't forget the flames that burned me from the inside out three years ago. My liar is forbidden, but I'm haunted by his slate blue eyes and wicked mouth. He's gotten under my skin, and I don't know how to remove him without tearing my heart apart in the process. My devil may be bad, but he makes promises that sound so good. I wish I could say he tricked me with honeyed words, but really, I did it to myself. Bonding to him was a mistake, but bargaining with him? It might be my undoing.
I'm torn between three men that I swore I wouldn't get involved with. I know it's wrong, but part of me loves it. Craves it.
Everyone thinks I'm the good girl, but what they don't see is that my carefully crafted persona is crumbling around me. My mask is cracked. I'm hanging on by a thread.
We all have weaknesses. Mine just make me a glutton for punishment.
Contains mature themes.

I loved the first 4 books about Piper and Ronan story. However, I've always loved Nat and felt represented by her as she reminds me off the smart, quirky, badass I am. I gobbled this trilogy up and want to read the last book so bad but don't want to say goodbye. 💜 )

There are just no words on how amazing this story is. It is completely packed with information. This one starts off so much better than the last where I do not feel like I am missing a book or series. It pulled me in and didn’t let go. It had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation. I absolutely loved it. Nat is such a strong and mature FMC for her age. I love how she doesn’t let things hold her back. To be honest I absolutely love Lucifer and his personality with Nat. August is just as...

While seemingly progressed at a snail’s pace, this is an enjoyable story. It’s a double slow burn: romance and plot. It’s actually good to read a well developed paranormal romance for a change. The story of the male characters is very different and that’s a nice change, too. The backstory and world add to the plot. The twist is not surprising. But I still like how this story is shown rather than told. The story of the female main character is interesting and multi layered. There’s just more to...

I absolutely love this book! It's very quickly made its way to one of my favorite reverse harem books ever. I love the HBIC that Nathalie is, and that her harem has such real struggles and not made up bs. I love her friend dynamics and the range of relationships between characters. This book has depth and is way more than just the sexy steaminess between the pages. Definitely need more!! ) One person found this helpful

I've been obsessed with Nat's story since she was first introduced in Piper's series. Seeing her men take care of her because she never puts herself first gives me such warm feelings. I love that they acknowledge and respect her boundaries while making it clear how difficult it is for them. It would've been nice see a little more plot development; but with 3 guys' perspective to get through, I'll gladly take the character development. I can't wait for the 3rd book! ) One person found this...
