How to Negotiate with a Nightmare

Seven Suitors for Seven Witches, Book 3

By: Amy Boyles

Narrated by: Scarlett Dorian, Bradford Hastings

In this cozy romantasy, the villain finally gets the girl.

I have three problems:

One : The hot guy I met in the bushes (don't ask) has magic so cold and dangerous it should come with a warning label.

Two : My family's dragging me to a ball hosted by the Nightmare King—you know, the cruel monster who rules the dark half of town where the sun literally never rises.

Three : Turns out Hot Bush Guy and Nightmare King are the same person. And when our magic touches? We make flowers. Which would be romantic if I wasn't supposed to be terrified of him.

Eryx Nightshade has spent ten years alone in his castle, haunted by a voice in his head that demands blood and revenge. Until I walked into his spell and the voice went from "destroy everyone" to "she's pretty, don't mess this up."

Now he's thrown a ball to find me. I'm trapped in pink tulle and sparkly sneakers. And every time we touch, our magic does things that shouldn't be possible.

He thinks I'm his salvation.

I think he might be mine.

But I'm supposed to marry someone to save my family's dying magic, and he's got a revenge plot ten years in the making.

Falling for the Nightmare King wasn't part of anyone's plan.

Especially the nightmare's.

Perfect for those who love: grumpy x sunshine; villain gets the girl; marriage of convenience; magical bond; morally gray (and slightly obsessed) hero; dangerous magic; fantasy romance with humor.

How to Negotiate with a Nightmare is book three in the Seven Suitors for Seven Sisters series.

INCREDIBLE character writing

Both the writing and performance of Nightmare absolutely made this book for me. This was some Dungeon Crawler Carl level voice acting, and Nightmare’s comedic interruptions of perversion and obsession was hilarious and sexy. The braiding her hair bit made me cackle every time. Best romance I’ve read in years!

Immersive voice acting

Love the voice actors for the series. The accents and voices they do are wonderfully entertaining and even though there were some cringy moments in the story I thought it was very well written and the story exciting. A good fun read!
