A Soul to Keep: Duskwalker Brides: Book One

Product Information

And the world building was done so well without feeling like I was smashed over the head with exposition. Almost right away our MC Reia read very much like a mary-sue, sheltered but wise, weak but strong, doesn't like books but is knowledgeable about things like psychology and anatomy. Orpheus is sort of a classic monster archetype… deadly and scary, but a sweet and lonely soul on the inside.

The entire scene is riddled with frustrating misconceptions and out-of-date language about "purity" and virginity and hymens. Because of this, I found it hard to get into, but the glowing reviews of some fellow book lovers convinced me to give it a chance.

With the addition of a good editor, she could compete with the big name PNR authors, and this would be an automatic 5 ⭐️ read from me. He knew what he was and the dangers his nature as a Duskwalker presented to humans, he didn't try to hide it but also did what he could to warn Reia.Imagine writing the sentence ‘They came in many sizes, which informed their prey if the monster in front of them would guarantee their death or not. But he tries to fight his nature for his sacrifices/companions even if they don’t give him the same. I never felt like the story dragged, and I would have loved more time before the “happily ever after”.

I also want to mention that I was disappointed (and a little befuddled) by the author's approach to the first intimate scene. Also, if she was shunned by the community from the age of seven, how exactly did she manage to grow up? Chapter after chapter, as they start to fall in love, I found myself also falling more in love with them.This was cute as all hell - Beauty and the Beast vibes but unexpectedly HOT 🔥🔥🔥 - and it takes place in a remarkably well-crafted fantasy world. Orpheus we learn more about, but it seemed like a lot of it was revealed by others and I wanted to know him more from his perspective. It's about a girl who gets sacrificed to a Duskwalker monster who can't help himself when humans bleed or run from him. The list of icks only continued as I read; gut rearranging sex magic, victim blaming, the overuse of the word "squelch", sex as a metric of love and care. Before you start reading my review, I would like to point out that this book, or this series, is not suitable for readers who are under 18 years old due to sexual content.

He is both every horrible thing Reia has ever imagined him to be, but funnily enough is also one of the sweetest and the most thoughtful creatures she’s ever known, showing her more kindness than her own people ever had. also, a very unique, ✨exceptional✨ male 'anatomy') and the virgin sacrifice that lacks fear and deemed to be cursed by the villagers. But there's a lot he doesn't know, so Reia has to patiently explain and teach things to him- like boundaries and what's normal human behavior.But overall I was so impressed with the storytelling here, and these amazing characters this author has created. I-I thought you were going to eat me,” she whispered, her hands falling limply next to her in the snow.

Most people can differentiate between reality and fiction, so the trope becomes something sweet and fun in fiction. To me, I think Opal Reyne did a great job with her writing style because it was easy to read, and easy to understand. Ladies, just because your man treats you nicely doesn't mean that his ex, who is still dealing with PTSD from being his first partner, is evil.I enjoyed the cute progression of their friendship and their inevitable love story, and I particularly liked that Reia is determined to be self-sufficient. I have missed many humans that have left, but I like you more than any of the others that have come here. In A Soul to Keep, there are two main characters in the book: Reia - a human girl and the FMC, and Orpheus - a Duskwalker (or a Mavka) and the MMC. He makes her stuff and is super happy to show her, he preciously keeps the things she makes him even if its insignificant, he teaches her stuff, he grows a garden even if he doesn’t eat those things… etc etc etc.
