Publisher's summary

A cursed goblin sorcerer. The human female he's waited an eternity for. A secret that could tear them apart.

A quaint cottage in a Scottish forest seemed like the perfect place for Kinsley to start anew. But when a tragic accident leaves her isolated and dying, her new life is over before ever beginning.

Until a dark, mysterious being emerges from the night gloom and offers to save her...for a price.

With no other choice but death, she accepts. She awakens to find herself bound to an ancient, powerful goblin who is equally terrifying and intriguing. He's terse, demanding, brooding.

Despite that, Kinsley is drawn to him, captivated by his sinful crimson eyes, craving his every wicked touch.

But what will happen when he discovers the truth? What will happen when he learns that Kinsley cannot fulfill their pact?

What will happen if she lets this goblin claim her heart along with her freedom?

Really tugged at my heartstrings

Vex and Kinsley are both quite literally prisoners of their circumstances yet it’s when they find each other that they finally become free.

Kinsley is a very strong character, she’s trying to get away from a very traumatizing and devastating past (check the CWs, just in case) to start life anew when she has a very tragic and fatal accident. This is when our broody, moody, cinnamon roll of a goblin comes into her life and offers her a deal in exchange for something she knows she cannot give him. This is related to her traumatizing past and needless to say our girl's in trouble, oops.
Vex, our very swoon worthy MMC, offers her the deal out of his wish to be free of his current circumstances (promise this will make sense once you listen to the audiobook, I’m trying not to spoil it too much) and while he starts out as a complete asshat he’s soon humbled by Kinsley’s incredible strength and wit, as well as his will-o'-the-wisp's companions who manage to put some sense into his royal crankiness.

There are quite a few delicate subjects related to the characters’ pasts, namely abuse and trauma, and Tiffany Roberts was able to tackle them with grace and tact. I also appreciate the fact that a certain subject related to Kinsley was approached with so much care and compassion, which is shown through Vex’s respect towards her. Needless to say this is quite a satisfactory slow burn that eventually becomes a scorcher, they can’t seem to get enough of each other and it’s the sweetest, most romantic thing you’ve ever experienced.

I also appreciate how Tiffany Roberts’ doesn’t hold back on their descriptions, especially when it comes to certain visual elements like environments and the characters’ appearances. I have a very vivid imagination and to me having detailed descriptions boosts my enjoyment and immersion. As for this book, the aesthetics are absolutely amazing!

The narration is a duet performance (so you know this is quality af)! Celia Stone and Corvin King did an incredible job and matched their characters so damn well.
Celia Stone has a sweetness and cheerfulness to her voice that I found matched Kinsley’s optimism and perseverance quite well. Corvin King matched Vex’s broodiness and intensity brilliantly. All in all they complimented each other and their characters in a way that is almost scaringly good.

Oh, and I’d die for Echo, Flare and Shade.

Feels

I haven’t cried after reading a book in a long time. The overall feel, the characters and the story was well written. I was overwhelmed with so many emotions listening to this book. I love both narrators, they truly brought more depth to the book and you could feel the characters come to life. Must buy!

Labyrinth x Howls moving castle? Yes please!!

This book is wonderfully written from the goblin king to the wounded cursed hero! Like my title for this review says it reminds me of and adult version of Labyrinth and Howls moving castle mixed together! If you liked either of those movies you will love this book! This is definitely my new favorite for this author duo!!

The voice actors are just WOW

It's been a long time since I've heard such a great pairing of voice actors in a audio book. Simply fantastic performances and chemistry between them. On top of that the story is just so enjoyable. I absolutely love this.

Left me Happy & Satisfied

A really great listen, I definitely recommend. Longer than most other stories like this but didn't drag. Great dual perspective narration. Whats The cherry on top of all that? Some pretty damn good sex scenes that's what! Seemed a bit more detailed and dirty than scenes in her other books( although I haven't read them all). This is definitely a comfort read. Not the most amazing gripping edge of your seat blow you away good kinda story. But it is interesting, entertaining, sexy, and fairly original/ unique. It could become a fast favorite. Definitely a candidate for the “listen again” list.

The beautiful way both main characters dealt with their pain and loss.

Some of the mispronounced words from female narration. More background about Vex before evil queen cursed him.
