She kills creatures like him. He eats beautiful people like her. It's a partnership made in hell.
Like every female orphaned by the Queens War, Tenele Raider is a monster hunter—a Maiden of the Red Court. When the border between her home and its volatile neighbor falls, Tenele is tasked with discovering the source of the black runes burned into the bodies left behind.
To help in this, she’s partnered with a Shade—a conniving beast who feeds on pleasure and pain. Being Ranemir Stroud's jailer and reluctant partner is both a help and hindrance, and as their connection morphs from convenience to necessity, Tenele finds herself sharing more than she bargained to keep them both alive.
As their journey to the truth becomes a path to the warring gods who made them, Tenele is forced to choose between the monster in her bed (and heart) and the destiny she was born to die for.
Of Silver & Sin is the first in an adult dark fantasy romance duology featuring spice.

This was a 4.5 star read for me. I enjoyed the world and the characters. The FMC Tenele was badass without being immortal or infallible; sometimes even a strong warrior gets in over her head, you know? The priest was probably the most intriguing character imo; his existence is a mystery even he can't figure out. That said, Rane definitely had a lot of appeal. ;) The writing itself was well done: skillful and descriptive. Looking forward to book 2! )

This book has such a unique FMC and world. It's short but did drag a bit for me. Overall I liked it and would read from this author again! )

THE CLIFFHANGER. The writing. All of it. I was completely lost in this little world and screamed when I hit that last page. It’s an entire world of...

I’m super thankful to have received an ARC copy of Of Silver and Sin—as always, I’m leaving this honest review voluntarily. I’m a sucker for morally gray MMCs, and there’s no shortage in this book! Although I was a little confused with so many characters and their links at first, I really enjoyed the journey of coming to understanding. I kept finding myself trying to put the pieces together because I’m always trying to stay a step ahead of an author’s twists. And although I did guess some of...
