About this listen
Bloodbound and penniless. Exiled to cursed lands. Hunted by death.
When thief Suri suffers a humiliating robbery, she has just one day to settle a dangerous debt. Her plan: abduct and impersonate a foreign princess at the royal ball. But when the wickedly handsome fae lord of the wasteland, Kol, crashes the party to find the princess she's pretending to be, everything takes a darker turn.
With her knife in Kol’s righthand man, stolen trinkets in her pockets, and the kidnapped princess now missing, Suri can’t outrun the law. The King exiles her with one condition: assassinate Kol, and all is forgiven. But Kol has sworn his own brutal revenge - if his wastelands don't kill her first.
In this high-stakes fantasy debut, prepare for unexpected twists and a slow-burn romance. Fans of The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen and The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty will love this new series.
Rachel A Sandpiper (she/her) is a twenty-something fantasy author living in London. She's passionate about creating strong and complex characters in unkind and twisting worlds, but despite what she puts them through, there will always be a heart-pounding romance.

Story
He was her first love. Now he’s her deadliest adversary. By day, Marcella pretends to be a highborn lady, but at night, she’s a thief for the renegades, a group whose goal is to help servants escape their noble masters. That isn’t her most dangerous secret. In a land where only men are wizards, she’s able to wield magic. Marcella grew up as a serving girl in the castle where young wizards train. Falling in love with Ronan, the most promising apprentice, was a bad idea from the beginning. He’d made it clear he never planned on a future with her. It would’ve stood in the way of his ambitions.

Story
I see dead people. While it might sound cool, I can assure you, it's not. The dead are even bigger assholes than the living. I learned at a young age to be invisible. Even breathing wrong could set my father off. The beatings became progressively worse as I got older, and I feared I wouldn't survive to see my eighteenth birthday. So I plotted my escape, and no one was more surprised that it worked than me!

Story
I'm an omega, but I'm wrong. Tainted. A glitch in the natural order. My dreams drag me to a shadow kingdom of cruel beauty where sinful alpha monsters reign supreme—crowned heads of various courts, their very presence igniting my inner omega that's laid dormant impatiently. Their crowns gleam with unholy light, their scents ignite a hunger in me I don't understand. I should submit. I should want to obey. Instead, I feel power stirring dangerously in my veins.

But I only have one week to find the culprit, and the new heir to the duchy is none other than Detective Liam Rorick, my enigmatic ex-partner and archenemy. It doesn't matter if Rorick is a competent investigator. He's the most cantankerous vampire I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. There's a reason I swore I'd never work with him again.

The day I started seeing ghosts, my life went to shit. Too bad the Fates don't hand out gift receipts because, respectfully, I'd like a refund. Unfortunately, those meddlesome hags aren't even close to being done with me. A powerful, destructive creature is on the prowl and threatens the existence of the universe. The only way to stop the creature is with equal destructive power. That's where I come in. Not that I have any kind of destructive power of my own. That would have been way too cool. Instead, I've been tasked with acting as a supernatural dog walker for an equally powerful creature.

well written but uncomfortable

The FMC is too blinded by her own greed to make common sense choices that just end up causing her to get into more and more trouble/danger - annoying, especially since she is supposed to be street smart.
The eventual MMC (I’m guessing by the book description) is barely in the book, and no development of their story.
This should have been thinned out a lot in the middle and have been the first half of a book. And more interaction between the main characters - they only have 4 brief interactions!
Cut the middle third out
