About this listen
From the New York Times bestselling author of River of Shadows and Black Sunshine comes a new dark gothic romance duet about how love can transcend the ages, but at a deadly cost.
Is it her destiny to love him?
Or is it her destiny to die?
Valtu Aminoff is no stranger to tragedy. Though many know him as the enigmatic vampire that inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula, Valtu's complex life is far more horrific than any fiction could imagine. When you lose the love of your life over and over again, it can do more than break your heart—it can corrupt your soul.
It's up to his new lover to decide if Valtu's damaged soul is even worth saving.
But destiny isn't done with Valtu yet. And tragedy is always around the corner.
Contains mature themes.

I fell into bed with a hacker for the Irish mob: Balor O'Rourke. Who also happens to be my new lethally gorgeous boss with nerdy dark glasses, penetrating green eyes, and a body made for sin. He doesn't do relationships and I'm getting over an abusive ex. With that understanding, we shatter the rules, unleashing his unbridled desires and my carnal urges.

I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

I first met William McAlister when I was just a teenager. He was handsome, had a beautiful wife, and was on the verge of success, having just joined my father as his business partner. Mr. McAlister was full of smooth charm, but back then he was barely a blip on my radar. Just a family friend. Fast forward 10 years: I'm 25-years-old and a single mom trying to make things right for her seven-year-old son. I've made some mistakes, grappled with my demons, and now I'm back in the city of Vancouver, getting a second chance at a better life.

They say bad things happen in threes. After my boyfriend broke off our engagement, I lost my apartment, and was laid off from my job, I can definitely attest to that. They also say life is what happens when you say yes to new adventures. So when my two sisters invited me to ring in the new year in Ireland, I decided to throw all caution to the wind and go for it. I was going to let "saying yes" be my new resolution. Little did I know I'd spend New Year's Eve having a hot and dirty one-night stand with Padraig McCarthy, one hell of a sexy Irishman.

Action, Spice, Halloween Vibes, and of course sexy Dracula
This listen was fun and kept me interested the whole time. My ADHD brain never had an instance of feeling like this boon wasnt moving along quickly enough. Definitely a lot of spice with some depraved vampire shenanigans. I think the narrators were perfect for this book! Definitely an accurate description of Venice as well 👍🏻

A Perfect Ending
This is the continuation of Valtu and his loves. Rose is the reincarnation of his love he’s met in multiple times in history. First Meena, then Lucille, then Dahlia. Now she is Rose. A vampire herself who is ready to fight for the love that has defied death. The ending of this book is my ultimate happily ever after and I’m still in a hangover, not ready for it to be over.

A Great Finale
4 ⭐ 4 🌶️ 3 🎧
While I didn't love the ending as much as I did the beginning, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. This duet was so spicy and suspenseful with some wild twists and it kept me highly entertained for the past couple of days. It had the perfect spooky season Gothic vibe and I'm so happy I finally got a chance to read it.
I really loved Rose. She was younger than the other three reincarnations from what I gathered, but her maturity level and the ordeals she went through made her stick out to me. She was quite the badamf too, I couldn't get enough of her lightning.
I swore I loved the audio in the first book, but I had a really hard time listening to Arthur Russell's Rose (and other female voices) especially during spicy scenes... Carolyn Eve was wonderful though and Arthur's Val was fantastic. Overall it was a good listen.

Wow 🤩!!! What a fantastic journey….
I loved this book. This author gives you a well thought out and complete story. You’ll fall in love with these characters. The pacing is great. The steamy scenes are hot 🥵 and there are several unexpected laugh out loud moments. This was a fantastic book. The narrators did an amazing job. I will certainly search for more books by everyone involved. Highly recommend this duet.

Was this a ghost writer? I'm so confused
This was so underwhelming and I feel like this wasn't even the same author. The style seemed so different, there were details from the first book that magically changed, the spice was okay but none of the steamy build up and there were so many missed opportunities on this book. I'm glad we got a plot completion but the only reason I stuck it out was because of the narrators. Blood Orange is by far one of my new favorite books but this one will get archived and never read again. Total miss for me.
