Publisher Description
From bestselling indie author Laura Thalassa comes the newly revised and edited first book in her smash-hit dark fantasy romance between a siren and the “bargainer” she owes countless favors to.
Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past.
For the last seven years Callie has been wearing a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she once received. Only death or repayment will fulfill her obligations.
Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He’s a man who can get you anything you want … at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for Callie, he’s never asked for repayment. Not until now.
When Callie finds the Bargainer in her room, a grin on his lips and a twinkle in his eye, she knows things are about to change. At first it’s admitting a truth—a single bead’s worth—acknowledging the attraction between them. But the Bargainer is after more than just rekindling their connection. Something is happening in the Otherworld. Fae warriors are going missing one by one, and only the women are returned, each in a glass casket, a child clutched to her breast.
For the Bargainer to save his people, he’ll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago. If she can forgive him.
Customer Reviews
I didn’t get hooked.
The book is ok. The storyline is ok. I didn’t get drawn into it like I was hoping. I’m undecided if I will continue on with the series. I personally don’t think the main characters have any chemistry. Their interactions are very matter-of-fact and lack the detailed descriptions and thoughtful scene building that a great romance should have. Very little sexual tension. As some of the other reviewers mentioned, I also found the switching between past and present a bit tiresome and drawn out. The culmination of which was rather anti-climactic, making the back and forth unnecessary in my opinion.
Great premise, awful writing.
I really wanted to love this book and the idea is great, but there were so many times I had to pause reading to cringe. I’ll finish the book at this point just to see if any of my questions surrounding the confusing plot line are answered, but I genuinely feel like I am reading a bad watpad fan fiction.
Well written
Quick and easy, mostly romance not much world building or second characters, however it is cute and well put together and there isn’t just steamy stuff which is nice
