A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory (The Rooted Realm)
Mikki Roule
by Nander
The autumn of 1998 was supposed to be about midterms and dorm life, but a reckless Ouija board session invited something far more sinister into my computer. Now, I am haunted by Bane, a sleep paralysis demon who has turned my digital life into a prison of twisted chain emails and impossible demands. What began as a terrifying intrusion has spiraled into an obsessive, insatiable connection that transcends the waking world.
This dark paranormal romance masterfully blends high-stakes tension with the suffocating intimacy of forced proximity. As Bane pulls me deeper into the dream world, his desire for me becomes as dangerous as his wrath. I am trapped in a seductive game where compliance is the only way to survive, yet every touch leaves me yearning for more.
Just when I think I understand the rules of this supernatural torment, the arrival of Bane’s immortal enemy changes everything. Now, I am caught in the crossfire of an ancient war, forced to navigate an academy of shadows where trust is a death sentence. If you crave an enemies-to-lovers story that is as haunting as it is scorching, step into the nightmare. You might never want to wake up.

As someone with a sleep disorder who has experienced many episodes of sleep paralysis, I’ve always been fascinated by the history, folklore, and causes of the condition. Yes, there’s some interesting folklore. Look it up; there are some scary pictures. Author Nander’s “Chain Mail” takes the concept of sleep paralysis, mixing it with an Ouija board, demons, the Sandman, werewolves, and a lot of spice. So why “Chain Mail”? It’s because of the Ouija board. Strange events happen between the Ouija...

Nander continues to blow my mind with how she writes. This was such a good read, I loved exploring the lore of the demon realm. The world feels so vast in such a short amount of time and is just perfect. I fear with as unhinged as Bane is I’d still have to smash, give me all the demon love sir. The utilization of the open close door system as per Opals and A Nimbus is just such a great idea and I love Nander for it. The spice was just 🥵🥵 It is a dark book so be sure to read your triggers...

I ATE this book up! It was dark (check the triggers). It was a quick read. I loved the open door/closed door thing. Basically, if you want to pass the real smut, the open door is the start and then you go to the closed door picture to the end of the smut. I think that is a great thing to add to a dark romance book! ) 2 people found this helpful
