About this listen

From bestselling indie author Laura Thalassa comes the newly revised and edited second book in her smash-hit dark fantasy romance between a siren and the “bargainer” she owes countless favors to.

She survived the mad king … but the nightmare isn’t over.

Siren Callypso Lillis still wears the physical reminders of her time as Karnon’s captive, even after reuniting with soulmate Desmond Flynn, the King of Night. Not only that, but mounting evidence suggests the Thief of Souls, the being responsible for the disappearance of countless fae warriors, is still out there.

Invited to an annual Solstice celebration, Callie and Des journey to the Kingdom of Flora to continue their investigation. But under the bright lights and striking blooms of the realm, new complications arise, ones that no amount of bargaining can undo. Soldiers begin to go missing from the gathering, and some of the fae begin to suspect Des is the man behind it all. To Callie, one thing is certain: no one is who they appear to be. Not even her soulmate.

Fairies play dangerous games. Some want love, some want vengeance, some want flesh, and some want horrors too unspeakable to name. Something is stirring in the Land of All that Grows, and if Callie isn’t careful, it will claim everything she loves—and her along with it.

Another good read. Picked up right where book two left off.
It was interesting, fast paced and I like the author’s writing style.

This series is easy to digest. There isn’t an overly complicated world building and the characters are likeable.

Romantasy at its finest

I like the mysteries and the worldbuilding. However, for a main character presented as being a smart-ass, super observant PI, she’s annoyingly slow on the uptake. Luckily she is not an actually annoying character, so the story is still very interesting.

A sorta-slow but sweet MC.

Why doesn't anyone made a film after this book series? The scenes are superbly described, almost as if I am there with the characters.

What’s not to like. The story and performance is great. I’d like to make a bargain.

Simply amazing

Worthy reading, witty and captivating, the cliffhanger is thrilling!
Loved the secondary characters, hope the friendship between Temper and Callie won’t be overshadowed by the main love story.

Book 2: We’ve met a Thieve of Souls!

OK I guess. I think the author was trying for a Shadow daddy/ sub- dom relationship but ended up with borderline abuse and a heroine that was totally unable to defend herself without her big strong mate turning up (who has been waiting for her to be old enough to be with him for years). I'll listen to the last one where it will hopefully redeem itself

I thought this book was better than the first one. Such a great story, really exciting adventure in the fae realms.
Can't wait for the next book.

Epic

Such a well written text with both humour and tragedy. With such a sound storyline it was very exciting and heart wrenching at the same time.

I really enjoyed this book, the story had unexpected twists and it kept me wanting more the whole time.
I also liked the narrator, she did an excellent job making this story come alive for me.
