About this listen
Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she’s been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she’s received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear. Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He’s a man who can get you anything you want … at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for one of his clients, he’s never asked for repayment.
Not until now. When Callie finds the fae king of the night in her room, a grin on his lips and a twinkle in his eye, she knows things are about to change. At first it’s just a chaste kiss—a single bead’s worth—and a promise for more. For the Bargainer, it’s more than just a matter of rekindling an old romance. Something is happening in the Otherworld. Fae warriors are going missing one by one. Only the women are returned, each in a glass casket, a child clutched to their breast. And then there are the whispers among the slaves, whispers of an evil that’s been awoken. If the Bargainer has any hope to save his people, he’ll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago. Only, his foe has a taste for exotic creatures, and Callie just happens to be one.

Well that took a while
It only gets going the last 1/4. So really had to stick with it. I felt the narration was a bit hit and miss especially where the accent was in place. The term “the siren in me” got a bit tiresome. I may read the next one, but it is not currently on my reading list!

Great narration! Gripping story. 🌶️🌶️
Gripped all the way through with excellent narrator. Amongst all the romantacy books out there at the moment this is one of the good ones.

4,25🌟 mystery, angst, dark romantic fantasy
I like this even more than the 4 horsemen series. The angst was palpable, I felt their tension and her trauma deeply, even if most of it is insinuated or superficially described; in fact, as dark romance goes this one is pretty tame (or I read some really f# up 💩).
Their story goes back and forth between past and present (from the time they meet 8years previously to be exact).
There as many layers to their history and we, very slowly, discover them all, and it culminates on a big revel (that was not really a surprise at all). There is also a mystery in the present day that involves creepy kids and a bunch of crazy. Considering how powerful the bargained is I'm surprise by his inability to sort it out.
He is grumpy as, but he helps her (past and present) get through her trauma. Her special powers and how she uses them is super entertaining (in a kind of macabre sort of way).
Narration is excellent but, yet again, +catalogue and KU don't sync 😵😤😭😠😠😠. Is it that hard for Amazon to over that to its subscribers?????

Romantasy by numbers
Not a bad listen. Good narrator and a reasonable story. Sex scenes are a bit cringy for my liking. Book seems to be trying to be Sarah J Maas to the point that I could almost hear the editor's rewrite requests but it doesn't detract too much from the story
