All Gideon wanted was a friend.
After waking up in the afterlife to discover he died, Gideon has nowhere to go. The world around him feels strange, utterly false, and he struggles to let go of the past he was ripped away from.
Gideon never expects his new, monstrous friend to nibble his way into his heart, or give him purpose in death. His wings are soft, his body strong, and his skull face oddly compelling, but what point is there in desiring more when their future is meaningless?
All Aleron wanted was his kindred.
Having been violently separated from his twin, Aleron is left behind in Tenebris. Unlikely events lead him into an adventure with a pretty human, who entrances him more with every step they take. Gideon is funny yet confusing, and he makes desire sink into Aleron like a frustrating set of claws.
Aleron’s heart is big, it’s ready to love, and it’s fond of the male he has in his keeping. But things do not always go as promised, even when Aleron is given the potential to have everything he wants.
Will Aleron be able to keep those important to him close, or will he come to regret the choices he’s made?

This installment has been truly remarkable, Aleron is such a lovable, well written character who is the absolute sweetest duskwalker! Gideon is another absolutely wonderfully written lovable and relatable character, I love that there’s a male bride and that he is Emerie’s brother, so that Ingram and Aleron can make one big happy family finally. This story follows his and Gideon’s journey back into the world of the living, adventuring through Tenebris and learning some more valuable backstory in...

4/ 5 star Heat rating: 3.5 peppers (the scenes detail is a 4/5 but I felt the frequency of them were a little less than other books in the series) I feel a little like my brain is reeling from this book, and I ping pong back and forth from a 4 to a 4.5 stars. Overall, I enjoyed the busy plot of the story, but I think for me it was just a slower burn than I wanted between the main characters. This book is filled with humor, angst, pain, and spice. This book, like all of Opal’s books, is a wild...

How does Opal keep making each book better than the last?! I'd fallen completely in love with the Duskwalker twins back in A Soul to Touch when Kitty played with them. Then in A Soul to Revive, we lost Aleron and my heart shattered. Like Ingram, I wasn't sure how to go on without him and felt completely devastated. This book was Aleron's journey to find a bride and Opal's amazing step into MM monster romance. At the end of the last book, I immediately knew Aleron and Gideon were going to be the...
