About this book

Ruin Has Sharp Fangs expands the Veil of Shadows universe with a standalone novella set at the edge of Hell’s authority.

When Ivy Calder accidentally summons a Ledger Demon while trying to save her flower shop, she becomes entangled with Thorn—an enforcer forged to collect souls and erase defiance.

But Thorn was created under laws that predate the current Queen of Hell. Laws that do not account for choice. Or love.

As Valentine’s Day approaches and Hell tightens its claim, Ivy and Thorn form a bond that cannot be categorized, controlled, or collected. What begins as survival becomes rebellion.

This standalone novel features a cameo appearance by Remington, son of Meg, Queen of Hell, and explores the cost of dismantling ancient systems within the Veil of Shadows world.

No prior reading required.

Thorn has a fun way with words

The MMC, Thorn, is good at responding in short, irrefutable sentences. He also has a Mensa style with the words he chooses, which I found unique, and his responses are unexpected and entertaining. His strong belief that some disruptions must be remedied by un-aliving someone was hilarious. The FMC, Ivy, is the light to his darkness and the only thing stopping him from following through with this, more than once. Ivy has a knack for making bad situations even worse and forcing them both to...

Definitely worth reading

I really enjoyed this book for many reasons, the storyline was cute and enjoyable, the characters were relatable, but there was also deep concepts layered into it that made it even better. Thiz matter of choice, even if it was a demon bound by a ledger which would never be us, showed this deep core of our choices and how we often feel like we have things we have to do regardless of our feelings of it, but actually we have a choice even if it's uncomfortable, even if it goes against the order of...

I really enjoy this book. I truly love the Ivy- the main FMC!! Her tenacity was so refreshing to read. Then there is Thorn, not your typical Demon- that’s for sure!! your morally grey Demon😏 The pace of the book kept me glued in right to the end.
