A Viper Among Kings by Sydney Olivia

Thank you to Daphne Press and Netgalley for the eARC. All thoughts are my own.

This was such a fascinating book full of interesting, layered characters and a great plot that kept me hooked.

I loved the concept of Magic as a being. I definitely need to know more about Magic and Voids in the future of this series. This book tells you enough to intrigue you but nowhere near enough to have any answers and it’s very cleverly done.

Esme and her wraith siblings were all really interesting characters and I loved getting to know them, especially Esme and Urias. And I thought Bal, Janos, Mina and Simon were intriguing as well. The relationships between them all were great and I loved the way Esme loved each of them differently. But to be honest, I didn’t end up connecting with them on an emotional level which left some scenes that should have had me tearing up at the very least feeling a little hollow.

That being said, I think the writing here is fantastic and I will definitely be picking up book 2.

Do you have any book recommendations with poly relationships? Preferably fiction. I’ve been avoiding reading romance recently because everything is based on monogamous relationships and it gets tiring after a while.

I recommend checking the notes on this post where someone else asked. There are a lot of things recommended by others that I haven't gotten around to reading. 📖 I totally feel you with the mono romances being a drag sometimes. Its real bad when jealousy is a major point :/

Romance pet peeve: If your love interests aren’t best friends (even once they’re together), you have a toxic view of relationships. Keep that shit away from me…

While I'm stricken with covid but still have enough energy to read, I have a request for recommendations! Can I remember if I already asked this before? No, no I cannot!!

I'm looking for some historical poly romances. If not historical then fantasy or sci-fi. Contemp if I trust you 😉

I've already read The Companion by E.E. Ottoman and The Mischievous Letters of the Marquise de Q by Felicia Davin. Currently reading Heart and Hand by Rebel Carter and Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland (also Triple Sec is on my TBR).

THANKS GANG 💖

A Dowry Of Blood by S.T. Gibson

honestly, read it. it is really great. i cannot tell you how much i love the writing style, also how the author talked about the relationship and the conflict of love and hate.

the feelings of Constanta were going under the skin and were so relatable. so, so much.

we all know, and love, that love is a spectrum and that vampires, who can be as old as time, have a different view for love. it can be romantic, it can be platonic, it can also be a form of love for family or something in between. and that was so well done.

i could talk hours about that book, but since I would spoiler you, i don't.

Summaries of each book below.

Book 1: On Silver Shores

Sirens are known for their beauty and grace. Everything from their lithe figures to their perfectly symmetrical faces to the cadence of their voices is designed to charm. Pleasure of the flesh is how they sustain themselves. So, of course, Detective Carver would be the one siren lucky enough to hate sex. Ever since his husband died, Carver has resented the defining feature of his race, but when his boss calls in someone to assist with his investigation, he finds himself confronted with a problem he never expected—attraction. Jian is supposed to be just an analyst, buttoned-up and stiff and unassuming. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, he can put on a nice smile and act polite enough, but there's something behind his eyes that's decidedly not professional. That hunger for carnal satisfaction Carver thought long dead starts to come back to life as they work together. And he has to wonder if he's just starving or if this is a craving.

Book 2: In Iron Stars

Her love is lethal. That's an immutable truth Saoirse's had to contend with since she nearly killed the love of her life eighty years ago. Sirens have a biological imperative to empathically bond with their partner. It's supposed to be a soft melding of nervous systems, intertwining two people as one, but people like Saoirse, a khavira, have a genetic defect that make that bond fatal to their partners. Love just isn't possible for her. She accepted that a long time ago, distracting herself with her work as an Inquisitor. So she's a bit at a loss of what to do when her boss tells her she'll be escorting her ex to a research station through uninhabited mountains. It takes over a month roundtrip. That's over a month with Iza, the woman who once was Saoirse's entire world. And perhaps worse yet, Iza's going with her husband.

Book 3: By Silk Tones

Most pureblood vampires go blind early in their life, and Minsu is no exception. That hasn't stopped him from living an accomplished life as a diplomat. Following the end of the war between the demonic Pure Clans and vampiric Khrang Bi, Minsu is chosen to participate in a political marriage with Clan Deng. He's expecting a savage and bigoted demon for a wife, but what he gets is a husband who seems too kind for his own good. Liem was selected as a mockery to this union. Born female and mixed blood, his family has never accepted him. Minsu finds himself conflicted as he grows to care for Liem. In truth, he wasn't sent to make peace. Who would expect a blind man to be a threat, after all? Minsu’s real directive is to assassinate all of Clan Deng. And that includes his new husband.
