A Soul to Keep

Duskwalker Brides, Book 1

By: Opal Reyne

Narrated by: Wolfgang Milliken, Elise Hoffman

All Reia ever wanted was freedom.

Known as a harbinger of bad omens and blamed for Demons eating her family, Reia is shunned by her entire village. When the next offering is due and the monstrous Duskwalker is seen heading their way, her village offers her an impossible choice—be thrown into the prison cells or allow herself to be sacrificed to a faceless monster.

However, he is not what he seems. His skull face and glow eyes are ethereal, and she finds herself unwittingly enchanted by him.

All Orpheus ever wanted was a companion.

Each decade, in exchange for a protection ward from the Demons that terrorize the world, Orpheus takes a human offering to the Veil—the place he lives and the home of Demons. The brief companionship does little to ease his loneliness, and their lives were always, unfortunately, cut short.

He'd thought it was a hopeless endeavor, until he met her. She’s not afraid of him, and his insatiable desire deepens within every moment of her presence.

But will Orpheus be able to convince Reia to stay before she’s lost to him forever?

No but I love him!!

I snatched this on audible, because my Kindle app has a vendetta against me and Amazon is unhelpful AF, and I was happy with it. I have a hard time with audiobooks, my brain is too slow not to have the words in front of me, but the narrators did a great job.

I only got into the Monster genre last year so I'm suddenly finding all of these fantastic monster-love books! Orpheus was such a softy 🖤 I adored him! I'm not sure why I thought this would be on the darker side? I'm not even sure I remember what I read about it other than it's a start to a great series 🤷🏻‍♀️ and everyone was right, so. 🤣

It was such a fun story and I loved the pair. I'm really excited to get into the rest of the series. I'm thinking I'll go for hard copies though because they're just so stunning!! 🤩

I love the main characters so much!!

I loved the way the story was written, I immediately feel in love with the characters and really enjoyed the banter

The start of something great

Monster sm*t is now my jam, jelly, bread and butter. I love Opal’s books and listening to it makes the experience even better.

Well done audible edition.

I read this story a while back when it was first published & loved it! Very interesting world & characters. Sometimes audible renditions don’t measure up. This one definitely does! Both FMC & MMC narrators were excellent! They each brought depth & emotion to their characters. I highly recommend!

First monster romance was a success 🙌

I adored the performance. Narrators did a great job. Story was well flushed and spicy scenes were 👨‍🍳💋😘
