Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Aurora Ascher's hilarious and hot blend of spicy demon romance and cozy fantasy featuring a half-mad demon with questionable morals, a goth witch who kicks ass and takes names, and a magical library in a castle in Hell. Perfect for fans of Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Brynne Weaver, Jenna Levine, and Kimberly Lemming. A villain always has a plan … but she's a complication he never saw coming. Murmur, the nefarious Necromancer, is losing his mind. His army of souls screams in his head, and his dreams are filled with bone-chilling visions of his approaching death. To save himself, he will unleash a torrent of destruction unlike anything Hell has seen before … But for his plot to succeed, he requires one final ingredient: the blood of a certain headstrong witch. This witch can rescue herself … Suyin, leader of the Montreal coven, hides her dread beneath a tough exterior. Unusual abilities she can't explain are taking over her life, and she's haunted by ominous dreams. Her fears are realized when she's captured by a demon with bloodshot eyes. Murmur plans to leave her in his dungeon, but Suyin has no intention of making this easy for him. Bargaining with demons is dangerous business, but she'll do anything to survive. Enemies may become lovers, but fate has other plans. Forced into close proximity, things begin to shift between Suyin and her captor. But as the Necromancer's machinations reach a pinnacle, he is faced with an impossible choice: achieve his master plan, or free the woman who resurrected his dormant soul.

Wow, what a book it was! Dear Murmy, when you were first introduced in Lily’s book I wasn’t even sure if you were evil or on good side but I hoped you will be on our side and I’m so glad it FINALLY happened.

Who knew death could look so good? “He was stupidly gorgeous. He looked like an angel. He was almost too pretty, and she squinted, trying to find at least one flaw” I was intrigued by Murmur since he first graced our pages in all of his villainous glory and this book didn’t disappoint. Murmur: He is......more

"He's creepy as hell. He looks like a vampire. He's like a giant, undead goth elf, with that white hair and those freaky eyes, and - Okay, never mind. I totally get why you're attracted to him. But still!" Suyin shrugged. "it wasn't planned, trust me." ... "I'm having a hard time picturing it.......more
