King of Flesh and Bone: A Dark Fantasy Romance (The Pale Court Book 1)

Product Information

Is there questionable behavior by the MMC, and does the author eventually tell you why he's behaving that way and what is driving him... absolutely! This wouldn't be a dark romance if he just fell all over himself for a woman he found charming. As a full-time author and homeschooling mother of 2 young boys, I don’t have much free time. When I do, I love to go to the museum, try out new recipes, or sit in my chair in my office to daydream. Next, let’s introduce whiplash and move from undead to non-consensual filth… (clarification on that below if you’re curious). Initially, the profanity was so widespread that I wondered if it should have been classified as erotic, but the plot moves on.

Enosh, the king of flesh and bone, an eternal god who refuses to do his duty. He is an evil, arrogant, cruel, manipulative and ruthless man. Enosh may seem cold and ruthless, but he is very lonely, hurt, and heartbroken. Does it take possessiveness and obsession to a whole new level? Hey! Did she adore him for all the mean or naughty things he did? Absolutely! No, because there is no hero in this book. There is, however, a villain readers will hate to love. I have no intentions of redeeming him because, well… villains do it better.My TBR is an electronic dumpster fire with random books tossed together from any and all genres. I might read an alien romance one night, then a fictional biography about the last princess of Korea the next. And how about we toss a horror in there? Or a book about 20 ways to make pancakes? And the writing flows effortlessly with plenty of style and form. Every description, every word is a testament to this author’s talent. It does start a bit awkwardly. But as long as you get past chapter 2 the story starts To write itself almost. I did struggle with the 1st chapter understanding what was happening once I did I couldn't believe the story I was falling into. This is a really hard one to review. It is dark, like all the CWs apply here. It does contain sexual assault and rape in pretty much all its forms. And yes, I agree with another review that it really reminds me of Laura Thalassa's Pestilence as well.

I wish there was such a song because I’d listen to it every day. If I ever find it, I will let the world know. Are there redeeming qualities? Not if you don't want to read about SA. Skip this book, truly. For me, it was the first one that really went there, but I still liked the story overall. It doesnt break any ground (monstrous MMC, an FMC who is dropped into his clutches, and slow enemies to lovers, the tortured man rescued by a kind woman, etc).Staying true to the character arcs I chose for Ada and Enosh. It’s not easy to make a reader fall in love with a villain without redeeming him. As for Ada, she will have a character arc in book 2, Queen of Rot and Pain, that is seldomly done in fiction, and certainly not in romance. Writing that took lots of chocolate and pacing my office. Ada is a human struggling with grieving the death of her husband and fitting into a society that looks down on her for being unable to bear a child. She finds herself accidentally dragged into the Pale Court and at the mercy of a merciless god. The King of Flesh and Bone, the ruler of the Pale Court (think Hades and the Underworld, but with a dark fantasy twist), who can control flesh or bone - rot corpses, raise a dead army, break the bones of the living at will, distort ones flesh to either age or remain young, etc. The story primarily follows the dynamics of their relationship and the King of Flesh and Bone's role outside of the Pale Court. I do not know where to start. Maybe the zombie babies? Yes, let’s start with that because that’s where the book begins and I’ve never been more fascinated by macabre thinking. Why has no one asked what happens when a baby becomes undead at birth? It lives? you would know

Heed the warnings that this is too dark a romance for most people’s tastes. If he can handle Tillie Cole and HD Carleton, chances are he can take that level of determination. Every sentence I write goes through at least three rounds of edits before I actually type it. For a long time, I listened to all the advice out there, trying to push myself to write a first draft. In the end, I had to accept that I’m not that type of writer. I don’t write fast, but what I write requires little to no editing and almost never any revising. The reason I can still enjoy the book is probably that the rape scenes aren't truly fleshed out - we get the mechanics, we don't get a lot of description of how it feels (beyond "my ass still hurts") or the fallout (ie. how does Ada feel afterwards, what physical and mental effects are there). This doesn't diminish what happens, of course, but it does make it much easier to focus on the slow process of her seeing more of him and gaining some understanding. (Fwiw, the worst part for me was her reaction to him "twisting" her legs - so much more palpable, and gave me more of a visceral reaction).Book Genre: Adult, Adult Fiction, Dark, Dark Fantasy, Erotica, Fantasy, Fantasy Romance, Horror, Paranormal, Paranormal Romance, Romance It didn’t change my life, but it certainly sparked my love for dystopian and dark fantasy worlds. Too bad that I don’t remember the title. I was in elementary school when I read it. A story about children who grew up during famine. Could have been set in Ireland, but it was an alternative world since there were no adults. As a kid at the age of 8 or so, the idea of having to fend for myself and group together with other kids fascinated and terrified me.

Eventually it ends with a cliff that could make you propel objects with telepathic rage. Fortunately, the second book is now out and it works exceptionally well with Ada’s transformation, keeping you engaged with the twisted, macabre and taboo. At its core, this dark fantasy romance is about how love can turn us into fools for liars and monsters. The book asks the reader if villains deserve to be loved, and if we can root for such a couple against the guidelines of morality. As for the overall story, you’ll have to go in blindfolded, letting the first chapter give you a good spin.PDF / EPUB File Name: King_of_Flesh_and_Bone_-_Liv_Zander.pdf, King_of_Flesh_and_Bone_-_Liv_Zander.epub
