Welcome to the realm of the Shadows, where nothing is forbidden, and secrets abound.
A rowdy supernatural tale featuring witches, vampires, shifters, all held together by the flimsy tether of magic. A fantastical world, but reader beware, triggers abound. This is a DARK paranormal romance.
A love story 3,000 years in the making…
Maeve Perryman is a PR rock star, now tasked with repairing the tainted reputations of Symmachia, a group of supernatural beings who control the Shadows.
Aristotle Crane is their grumpy thousand-year-old King.
THE SOULLESS KING is the introductory novel in a series, a DARK paranormal romance riddled with salacious acts, and secrets. Thus begins a love story, a redemption story, a story where nothing is forbidden, and everything is about to unravel.
When I tell you this author and book is the REASON I love this genre now would be an understatement!
The word choice, phenomenal! Character development, phenomenal!
There are trigger warnings for the violence which I appreciated, however the violence was the cherry on top for me personally. It added so much to the depth of Aristotle and the time frame of certain events within the book
Something major to me when I read is I’ll look up real places or people to get an idea while I’m reading. This was NEVER needed while reading the Soulless King and I thank the Author for this truly! It’s very hard to captivate emotions,smells, and textures while also maintaining the story itself. On that note, they truly are their own and there’s nothing out there like this book.
Read it and see just what I mean (literally)
The author does an amazing job with her characterization. Her world choice is unique and captivating. The lingering spice in her novel makes the reader turn the pages. But be warned that there are many dark themes and elements that might be triggering. Definitely can't wait for the next one.
Maeve Perryman, a sassy badass living in a world where humans and supernatural beings intermingle, lands a PR job for the King of the Shadows. She gets to know Aristotle Crane, Helene, Sephora, and the other members of Symmachia, as well as learns more about herself. Complete with humor, action, and a slow-burn sexy romance, The Soulless King is a phenomenal read and I already can't wait to read the next book in the series!!
Fantastic book! 4/5 spice level, great scenes. While this book is the first of a series, there is NO cliffhanger. The author has a great way with words and descriptions left me feeling like I was right there. The plotline took a bit to set up and then the rest of the book was a lot of action, which was fine by me. Can't wait to read more in this world.
The TENSION between Aris and Maeve starts immediately – witty banter, a curious draw to one another, protective “who touched you” vibes, and a deep adoration that flies off the page in the spicy explicit scenes. 🔥...
Earlier this year, I read ACOTAR (Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thornes and Roses series), which admittedly set a high bar for the Romantasy genre for me. I’m confident that if you enjoy ACOTAR, you’ll love this one, too! I’m very excited to read ‘The Death Queen — CHRONIKA, PART 2’ publishing in early winter 2025!
