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
Obsessed!
I love these characters and I love the plot! I will say there are some elements that could be a little triggering for some readers. However, the romance is amazing!!!! I love the flash backs between past and present. It adds so much depth to the main characters back story and romance. And the foreshadowing in the beginning and middle of the book that comes to light in the final chapters is perfection! I can't wait to pick up the 2nd book in the series and find out what happens next!
Just ok
It was okay, the plot seems interesting but just didn’t enjoy the writing style
Good quick read
This book is a good quick read, I enjoy the main characters for the most part (the whole trope where the fmc denies how the mmc could ever care about her is overused and annoying). The spice was also a little cringy feeling for me. The writing style was frustrating for me because sometimes it felt like it was written like a diary page, if you like that style this book is for you! The plot was easy to guess, but overall still enjoyable as a quick read. Going to give book 2 a shot!
