About this deal
Death is meant to come on a chariot of broken dreams or in the dark trenches of a storm, not in love letters and gifts.
Leon: “I want you. Irrevocably. But I can’t settle for less than all of you. Body and soul, Raelynn. We demons, when we see something we like, we need to possess it. It’s in our nature.” Through Rae’s relationship with Leon, certain information about Hell is available to the reader, and that shows that the world building has potential to be expanded upon. This isn't just romance - Leon is hunting Rae for the culty family he serves (against his will). This book is equal parts sexy and terrifying with an almost Lovecraftian mythology that I absolutely loved. These demons aren't just for the swoons, there is actual horror in Her Soul to Take and that is definitely my jam. I thought Peter Pan was a myth and Neverland a fairytale. A story spun by my mother who had lost her mind a long time ago. But when she accidentally summons a demon and gets chased by monsters and people alike, she finds out that she was meant for something else.
Abelaum is a sleepy Gothic small town that houses a wealthy family, a cult and an Eld god in its old mines.
In French, there’s a phrase for the random urge to jump from high places, the irrational desire to swerve into traffic despite imminent destruction: l'appel du vide, the call of the void. Those sudden feral impulses tend to be shoved away immediately, but humans still experience them. What if you jumped? What if you touched the fire? What if? What if? When I looked at him, staring at me, the void called. What if? I’ve always believed in the supernatural. Hunting for ghosts is my passion, but summoning a demon was never part of the plan. Monsters are roaming the woods, and something ancient – something evil – is waking up and calling my name.And the smut … well, I don’t want to spoil any of the scenes, but a lot of them made me go “Oh, I want what she has!”– aloud. I've always believed in the supernatural. Hunting for ghosts is my passion, but summoning a demon was never part of the plan. Monsters are roaming the woods, and something ancient - something evil - is waking up and calling my name. For a while, Kent Hadleigh misuses his power over Leon to sacrifice a man to the Eld in the mines, but then his children Victoria and Jeremiah attempt to finish the job for him. ☾ the world building
