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.

Obsessed!

Loved this ending for Rose and Val. It never bored me and I couldn’t stop listening! Excited to check out the other stories from different characters in the story. Hope Karina writes one for roses brothers! I’d definitely read it

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.

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.

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 👍🏻

I'm going to miss Val and his love!

What a great duet! I loved the narration, there will never be a more perfect Dracula! Now I'm going down a rabbit hole to listen/read all of Karina Halle's work!

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.
