Dark, romantic, and addictive! Grab yours and get into your cozy reading spot and prepare to be DAMNED.The Damned is an audiobook that completely immerses you into its dark world and refuses to let go. As the third book in the Coven of Bones series, it raises the stakes with a story that's equally seductive and haunting. If you love romantasy that’s full of dark, sinful romance that mixes in desire and danger, you’re in for a treat with this one. Margot's journey through the Nine Circles of Hell is intensely raw and emotionally charged throughout. Margot’s relationship with Beelzebub is pure fire, captivating with the dangerous and forbidden that’s also tender and impossible to look away from.The audiobook narration is phenomenal and deserves its own spotlight. Aiden Snow and Kingsley Rose absolutely bring both characters to life with voices that perfectly match each personality. Aiden's deep, hypnotic voice gives Beelzebub the perfect tortured edge and intensity that’s needed, while Kingsley captures Margot's fragility, vulnerability, and strength in a way that feels remarkably authentic. The chemistry between both narrators in the dialogue creates a palpable tension that just leaps from the speakers and fully draws you in.If you’re looking for a story that has lush and seductive world building combined with passion, desire, danger, and redemption intertwined throughout, this one is a must! You will be hooked until the very end, even if that means staying up until 3 a.m.
I received this book as an arc. Like all of Harper L. Woods' books CONSENT IS SEXY, and the female protagonist is given the freedom of choice. The Damned is what I would consider a slow burn in the romantasy world. Building up rapport and chemistry between the main characters. Margot has a traumatic past and doesn't trust in herself and especially not in others. Margot and Beelzebub are trapped in Hell and must work together to escape by travelling through the nine circles in order to reach help. Even though they are literally in the pits of hell, each level Margot is able to explore her own trauma and gain confidence in herself and her magic. Sometimes reading a romance book where the main character has a history of abuse the romance can sometimes feel off, that is not the case with this book. Margot's inner turmoil and conflicting emotions deserved patients and understanding, this was a fast paced book but did not skirt around the big issues. In my opinion Beelzebub is the anchor in this story. Steady and immovable in his attraction and desire to protect Margot. He provides her with stability and protection in more than just loyalty to lucifer. Under his safety and drive to respect her boundaries of consent Margot is able to open herself up to her magic that is so tied up into her trauma. The story ends on a cliff hanger just when things get safe and comfortable. I am excited to see what is in store for these characters in the next book.
