A Bargain So Bloody

Kingdom Of Dark Magic 1

De: Vasilisa Drake

Narrado por: Cecily Foster

She’s trapped in a magical prison. To break out, she’ll make a deal with the most dangerous prisoner of them all.

Sentenced for a crime she didn’t commit, Samara is bullied by guards and tormented by the screams of her fellow prisoners. She’s resigned herself to enduring her fifteen-year term… until she learns that the freedom she's been promised is the cruelest lie of all.

Now she's faced with a choice: resign herself to dying in the cold walls of Castle Greymere, or do the unthinkable and escape. But no one leaves Greymere alive. So to break out of the prison? She’ll have to use one of the undead.

Raphael is the worst kind of monster: a vampire with a thirst for blood, the mortal enemy of witches, the same breed that killed her mother. And most importantly, he’s unspeakably powerful, his supernatural strength tamed only by the enchanted cuffs forced on him.

He’s her only chance at a life outside the prison walls.

The deal is simple: Samara unlocks his shackles, and he'll help her escape. But although Raphael agreed to help her leave Greymere, he never promised to let her go…

A Bargain So Bloody is the first book in an exciting new romantasy series, perfect for listeners who love slow burn romance with morally grey heroes who fall first and hard and heroines who find their own strength.

Can't wait for book 2!

I was/am pleasantly surprised by this Romantasy. I've read thousands (not exaggerating) of books in this genres and thou it's predictable, it kept my interest. I truly can't wait for the second book to get released.

Excellent !

This narration was wonderful. I loved the story! Great character & world building. I was fully invested. Highly recommend.

Narrators make this better, but it’s only good not great!

It had real promise, but it felt so drawn out & the plot was not as compelling as initially thought sadly for me I kept going back and forth from other books on my endless TBR pile to come back to this one it was just so not dark & definitely no real spice the whole slow burn trope was extremely slow! Honestly this FMC really got on my nerves the more into the so called plot of many things! She had backbone at the beginning, but once she got to his kingdom it’s like she is all wishy washy ughhh and the other minor characters some were more fleshed out here whereas others felt so wooden & 2 dimensional! Loved our MMC & definitely touch her you ☠️he felt more for her she was just whining & so eager to leave lack of communication etc so basically this rant of a review is that I am just so gutted that this was not as good as I originally hoped/expected it to be as read in this same genre!!!!

I couldn't finish

I hardly ever quit a book but this one I couldn't do it. the FMC is insufferable. She is so over the top about the vampire thing! She never ate an animal ever or killed rats. This had a great beginning and fell really flat.

Surprise

I really enjoyed this book and surprise ending. A place to belong and to feel safe. Finding the meaning of life, friendship and who she really is . I need book 2 Now, please!
