About this listen
They're marrying me off to a monster.
I knew the day would come. I just didn't think it would be so soon.
I'm betrothed.
I'd always imagined my future husband would be some minor lord who'd value me only because I would bear him heirs.
I never thought Father would go to the capital and seek an audience with Emperor Valdon Duthriss himself. What unholy deal did he make that I, a mere baron's daughter, ended up betrothed to that man?
The son.
Corvan Duthriss.
War hero. Commander. Fallen.
They say the war in the Northlands changed him. Alongside his armies, he fought dark magic in the mountains. It transformed him. They say he's changed beyond recognition. That he refuses to show his face in the capital because he can no longer walk under the sun.
He's also the emperor's firstborn.
The once-heir to the Rahavan Empire.
And it's unheard of for a baron's daughter like me to marry into the powerful Duthriss family.
They're shipping me off before winter's end. To the cold, forbidding North. To the Cursed Archduke of Tyron.
I'll go. I have no choice. There's too much at stake.
I can only pray that Corvan Duthriss isn't as terrible as the rumors make him out to be.

Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are. I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I’ve gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget. Until them. The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin. They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary.

My father sold me to the Shadow King. Faerie is a completely different world than the one I'm used to. Winged creatures fly in and out of mirrors, and fantastical gardens conceal treacherous illusions. Shadows draw me in a little more for each day my magic grows, but I can't afford to let my guard down. To survive, I must play by the king's rules and protect myself from the nightmares, dreams, and fantasies that govern his seductive realm. Most of all, I must resist him. If I don't, my kingdom will fall.

Wes—the commanding demon in charge. Bo—the sadistic alpha. Dash—I don’t know what he is, but he’s too cheery for this realm.

I always thought I’d start the apocalypse. Instead I’ve been asked to help end it. How does one stop the end of the world, you might ask? You gotta knock up Lucifer’s vessel before he does. I know, I know. I was surprised too. But let me tell you, if ever there was an incubus made for the job, it’s me. With a name like Sin, you’d think this should have been the easiest task I’d ever been assigned. And you’d be correct. Except said vessel is a beautiful and dangerously powerful succubus in her own right. Oh, and she’s not interested.

My father sold me to the Shadow King. Faerie is a completely different world than the one I'm used to. Winged creatures fly in and out of mirrors, and fantastical gardens conceal treacherous illusions. Shadows draw me in a little more for each day my magic grows, but I can't afford to let my guard down. To survive, I must play by the king's rules and protect myself from the nightmares, dreams, and fantasies that govern his seductive realm. Most of all, I must resist him. If I don't, my kingdom will fall.

A Gorgeously Written Romantasy
4.5 stars ⭐️ Embers in the Snow is a gorgeously written romantasy. Finley and Corvan were drawn to each other at their first meeting on the road when she was going to meet him unbeknownst to him. They are soulmates, perfectly balancing each other’s light and dark. Both are equally strong characters who need each other, but also can fight on their own. The romance is well paced with the plot. The characters are well developed, fallible but also powerful. Corvan is a possessive/protective vampire hero who isn’t an asshole. Finley is a strong character, but she didn’t start out that way. As the plot developed, so did Finley from a mortal girl to a powerful and empathetic woman. The story caught my attention quickly and kept it!

I honestly loved this
Idk why everyone is shitting on the narrators. I think they were amazing? Maybe I’m just biased bc I’ve heard so much worse. Anyway I absolutely loved the story. It’s way better than the synopsis even made it out to be.

Narrators ruined a good story
It would have been great with different narrators. The male narrator was awful, he sounded like he was trying to be a polite monster, and the female sounded like she was reading a book. If this is a series, please choose better narrators in the future.

3 star read (meh)
Setup: Carven... uh... I mean Corvan Duthriss (H) archduke of Tyron, exiled son of the emperor, and recently made vampire, is checking lycan traps in the woods outside his castle when a woman roars up on a horse all frantic. Finley Salazar (h) tells him that she needs help. Her party was set upon by beasts and villains on their journey north. A journey to meet her betrothed. She doesn't realize she is speaking to her husband-to-be (or that he's a vamp). She is also a shock to him. Turns out Finley (a lowly Baron’s daughter) is a surprise/gift from the H’s meddling, power-mad father. Corvan immediately finds he cannot resist Finley’s scent or the taste of her blood, and takes a big bite outta her before even exchanging a “how do you do.” Magic, necromancy, abusive father drama, line of succession issues, undead armies, and evil half-brother drama ensues.
Honestly, I almost DNF’d this after the first sex scene, because it was a letdown. And regardless of plot, love and sex will always be the most important component of a romance book for me. Finley is the initiator, and after her itch was scratched she proceeded to police Corvan’s vampiric thirst. I REALLY wanted to read a raw, dangerous, lusty, story, not one about a middle management Karen trying to put her undead mate on a drinking schedule, a quantity limit, and restricted bite zones (on her body). Even worse, the vampire totally complied! 🙄 That’s rather beta behaviour. Note, despite her demands, the h isn’t strong either, just perpetually afraid. Oh goodie, a 15 plus hr book about TWO lame betas ☹️.
All 3 stars are for the world. It didn’t make me want to die. It was clearly described. Power dynamics were straightforward. The colour palettes, and natural/architectural details were sharp (and obviously of great importance to the author). Unfortunately, inner monologues and sappy declarations often stalled the action. Also, some of the modern phrases/details were a little jarring since the story feels medieval. It was also strange that the h never came into her own. Don’t expect Finley to wield her power, or fight, or show any kind of badassery. The damsel trope is in full effect from start to finish.

Unhealthy relationship
This book feels like porn. When he first sees her, he rushes to her and drinks her blood from her neck without her permission. She is upset about the violation of her personal boundaries, but it feels so good that she really wants it. He does it a second time later. She then spends much of her time imagining herself in bed with him. The plot (which seems interesting) moves slowly because we have to wade through all of her thoughts, which are mostly about him. The relationship might get better later, but I don't like the undertones. It seems unhealthy to me. I gave up listening at chapter 30, and there are still 8 hours left in the book. Also, the f-word is used quite a bit in regular conversation (not even when the character is angry, just f-this and f-that). I found it distracting.

Just another vampire romance
I really tried to finish this, but after 30 chapters, I couldn’t tolerate it any further. I didn’t like the
Heroine. She appeared to passively participate in her life. The hero was another irresistible tortured being that the heroine just could not resist. Overall, it was just boring. I gave two stars for the performance since they used two performers, but that’s the only reason.

Female narrator ruins story
It was very hard to finish listening to this book. The female narrator ruined it for me. The male narrator was great and was the only thing that kept me going. Best to read this story to actually enjoy it!
