Immortality has a way of changing fate...
The choice is simple: Go with him or die.
Merrick, dark elfin King of Valdis, had once been heir to all that was good - happiness and pleasure his domain. Now, trapped as the ruler of mischief, king of necessary evil, he stands on a precipice of choice. On one side, his estranged brother, now ruler of what should have been Merrick's, and on the other, King Lucien of the Damned. Both would sway him. Damnation is winning.
Lady Juliana of Bellemare is from a human family, protected by the Blessed, coveted by the Damned. Betrothed to an old friend of her father's, Juliana is resigned to living out her days close to her childhood home, longing for an adventure, never dreaming she'd get what she wished for. When her fiancé is murdered and the children of Bellemare are stolen, Juliana is sent on a quest in a strange realm where appearances are deceiving.
Merrick brings more adventure and passion than any woman could want. Can she withstand the temptations of the Unblessed king? The spell she weaves over him is more than he can resist and, desperate to be the one to rule her, Merrick offers her a choice; either come with him until he tires of her...or die.
Warning: This book contains hot sex, violence, trickster goblins, overly helpful sprights, a king of necessary evil who lives to get his way and a woman who would dare to deny him.

If you like audiobooks, this narrator really brings the characters to life. He does the creatures’ voices so well. And gives Merrick a deep sexy voice.

Love, love, loved this book. Loved Merrick and Juliana. Really loved the sprights Gorman and Halton. And the gnome, Domovoi. Loved the murder, mystery and love story. Hated Lucian and felt sorry for Mia. An all-around wonderful read. I was not bored for even a second.As to the narrator: I'm really, really not one for male narrators, except for Robert Petkoff, but I have to admit that Ross Pendleton did a phenomenal job! He made every voice completely different and identifiable and what he did to Gorman and Halton and Domovoi's voices made you really believe they were sprights and a gnome talking. Amazing preformance.
Wonderful..

What did you love best about King of the Unblessed?
The whimsy of the fairy tale people. Elves, trolls, dragons, sprights, berserkers, goblins...So many wonderfully developed characters. It was as if a beloved childhood fairytale had been reshaped into an adult fantasy.Who was your favorite character and why?
Merrick, I related to to him the most. He is not a flowery, flattering King who is able to express his emotions verbally well. He is sincere, and honorable in all he does. He did all he could to show Julianna that he loved her, and made a few mistakes along the way. He is, after all, not only a man but a King. What man doesn't make mistakes when trying to court a woman? They think like men not women. For King Merrick not only does he have to conquer his maleness to show her he loves her but he has to overcome being the King of the Unblessed.Which character – as performed by Ross Pendleton – was your favorite?
All of the goblins, trolls, and sprights! First of all they were brilliant characters. Second, Ross Pendleton has an exceptional grasp on how a fairytale character should sound. His voice was pleasant and he articulated words well. I was blown away with how he could remember which accent, tone, and even how each creature breathed. Outstanding!Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Juliana had a habit of asking for things, but as soon as it was granted denying that it was what she wanted. She was spoiled at home in Bellemare by her family. So when she was suddenly thrust on her adventure she wasn't used to doing things that took very much work. Then she would whine like a small child who had just been told no for the first time. When things got rough she would say she didn't mean what she asked for. It was very frustrating for me that she couldn't see what Merrick was doing for her. When Juliana...I don't want to spoil it. So I will just say, when Juliana decided to stop letting her human eyes see and saw with her heart.Any additional comments?
I look forward to the other books in this series. I especially look forward to seeing how Merrick and Juliana do now that she has emotionally matured a bit.Fun and entertaining

Merrick is the sexy King of the Unblessed Realm which is in-between the Blessed Realm and the Damned Realm and he's infatuated with Juliana, a mortal woman that he's been spying on, and, when she makes a wish, he's there all too willing to grant it. This starts off an often funny, often tragic, often sad chain of events that brings her close family members into the mix who try to save her from Merrick.... and maybe from herself. There's, sub plots and sub characters galore and the descriptive world-building skills of Michelle Pillow makes this a very addictive listen.
The love story was bitter-sweet as Merrick gives Juliana everything but for his own selfish reasons and she is so desperate to get home she doesn't see behind his facade until it's nearly too late. Lots of character development, passion filled sex and an unconventional romance that'll have you rooting for the bad guy. For me, this book came alive because of Ross Pendleton who skilfully handled the host of voices needed to maximise the enjoyment factor of this listen and brought it up to a whole new level.
Worth a credit? This was 'different' and a great start to a new PNR series that I'm eagerly intending to follow, so YES credit-worthy.
