I ran across this story on Goodreads. A group I recently joined recommended it on a best paranormal romance list of theirs. I figured I would give it a shot. The story is quite short, 66 pages I believe. I just needed a little time out, and I finished this in one sitting.
The author gives readers a warning.
This story is a dark fantasy romance with scenes of non-consent and dubious consent. Additionally, Meremon is a necromancer and enjoys unusual things. Some sex scenes might be strange or creepy for some readers.
Heed the warning, as this story does not mess around.
Holy crow. That is the first thing that comes to mind. But in a good way. Yes, there's kink, and weird stuff, and dubious consent, but it is done well. And it is sexy. As long as you can envelop in their world, which I could, and see Meremon for what he is and accept it, which I do, you should have a good time. The romance was quite sweet, as was the ending. But again, I would caution to pay attention to the warning.
It's a shame the story isn't a full-length novel. I could have easily spent a few more hours with Meremon and Rhona, and been okay with it. So, I enjoyed my time out. If this type of erotica sounds like your thing, I recommend giving it a read.
When I was a child he brought me back from the brink of death. Since that day I have borne his mark, a black star in the center of my left palm. The villagers say it brands me as evil. I think it means something far worse. It marks me as his.
The disease that nearly killed me has returned to the village and children are dying. I’m the only one who dares to climb the mountain and learn his secrets. In exchange, I’m to clean his house and help with his strange experiments, but Meremon wants more. He wants me. And it isn’t long before I discover that his demands are as twisted as his experiments.
As always with Brianna Hale books, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily ever after. THE NECROMANCER’S BRIDE is a novella of 16,000 words.
