Synopsis

On a deadly mission to kill the mythical beast that has been haunting her woods, a desperate mage finds her fate intertwined with the handsome, powerful man who saves her in this dark and sexy romantasy—perfect for readers of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Callie Hart, and Holly Black.The audiobook features captivating dual narration by Stefanie Kay and Fajer Al-Kaisi, who bring the characters of Riela and Garrick to life with depth and emotion.There’s something in the woods…When a vicious beast begins attacking her fellow villagers, Riela reluctantly agrees to enter the forbidden forest and kill the monster as she’s the only mage available—or so she thought.Untrained and barely armed, Riela is quickly overwhelmed when one beast turns into two. She fears her death is at hand until the unexpected arrival of a scarred, strikingly handsome man with gleaming moonlit magic changes her fate—and provides a rare opportunity to learn more about her own fickle power.After being rescued and healed from the beast’s poison, Riela awakens in a magical castle complete with a gorgeous library, a strange wolf, and the surly man who saved her life. She soon learns Garrick is both more powerful and far deadlier than a mere mortal mage—but thanks to a century-long curse, his powers are weakening.Trapped in his castle and surrounded by the treacherous woods, the spark of attraction between Riela and Garrick slowly ignites into fiery desire. But the more they discover about Riela’s magic, the more suspicious Garrick grows of her identity. As they unravel the secrets and lies connecting Riela’s past to Garrick’s, the tenuous threads of trust between them start to fray.Because Riela’s life—or her death—might be the key to regaining everything Garrick has lost.

Huge thanks to Avon | HarperCollins for the arc and alc! 🖤 Silver & Blood has some great things going for it, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for 4 stars. I’m thinking it’s more 3/3.5.

3.0 ★— The peril of reading a lot of romantasy is that after a while, certain settings and stories start to repeat themselves. There are only so many ways to tell a story, after all. Silver and Blood unfortunately suffered from this for me, feeling generic and worn-out, packed with tropes I’ve seen......more

3.25 stars Such a cool concept with a great cast of characters that had far too many What Are You Doing moments. I was gonna rate this a straight three stars, but the ending was pretty sweet and was worth another 1/4 star. Both main characters had a ton of potential, but they would say or do things tha......more
