King of the Underworld

Earthbound, Book 1

De: V L Peters

Narrado por: Angelina Rocca, Aiden Snow

Sitting on my throne, I reign over the underworld with a fist of iron.

The darkness runs deep within me as I revel in the violence of depravity, for I am King of all I rule, and this is hell.

Times are changing. Enemies old and new are challenging us. If Naturals and Humans want to survive, they must combine their forces. It didn't work before, so why do they think it will this time? Will all be lost?

You brought yourself into my line of sight. You willingly walked into my domain.

She thought she knew what she was walking into. She has no clue. She is a temptation I can not deny.

Don't start to think I have a soul, for I lost that a long time ago. Don't think I'm your savior, for I'm your downfall.

He will be my destruction. That doesn't stop me from seeking him out. He will break me and not think twice about doing so.

The darkness runs deep within him, deeper and stronger than I realized. I still can't keep away.

good

it was a good story!! enjoyed the narrators and the story kept me engaged and intrigued!

Did the author have a checklist of the worst tropes?

Chapter 2 I knew this would be a DNF. The constant emphasis on the FC being young was brought up 6 times. Why? Without even clarifying her actual age to boot. Just that her sisters don’t listen to her because she’s young. This tells me 2 things: the FC will be a wet doormat in terms of not sticking up for herself, not thinking for herself, and having to constantly be saved, most likely by the fallen angel immortal night club owner that is also being shoved down our throat before chapter 3. And 2 - the Uber hot immortal night club owner that is full of sex and depravity that’s so sexy but so bad. This tells me that our FC is a virgin. Inexperienced and young.

Because of this, I won’t continue reading. I don’t like inexperienced young delicate FCs, especially in a TikTok author because these authors write the worst of tropes that piss me off and takes me out of a world I want to get lost into.

Even the narrator sounds young and delicate. 🙄 why write about a powerful witch line and make the main witch dumb? Usually it’s so there will be some ungodly power at a pivotal moment in the plot. Usually at the end followed by a stupid cliffhanger that we all know the outcome and saw at the beginning. FC has angel blood? Probably with black wings so she can be unique. Or…. Is the FC a demon? But a good demon full of love and light that likes to help the children of the city, that’s so she’s unique of course. But not after being pounded high and dry in her virginal hole by the Uber hot fallen angel demon night club sex dungeon owner of course. Freak in the sheets but a holier than thou angel in the streets am I right?

Ugh now here’s the “omg that dress is sooo short! I can’t go out in this! My modesty!” Section. Ok I’m done.

Ps who the fuck goes to a sex bar as a virgin and drinks fucking water? Can you write a more tropes YA FC than this?

Oh now she thinks she’s unattractive and no man likes her then BAM every man in the club wants to get in her pants. Lmaoooo this is so bad.
