Synopsis

From the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of THE THORNS REMAIN comes an enemies-to-lovers journey to the underworld unlike any other, for fans of THE CRIMSON MOTH and THE CRUEL PRINCE An immortal vampire. A mortal bride. A vow that even death can’t break. Irina is about to be married to a dead man. She is the willing village sacrifice for the Wedding of the Dead: a desperate ritual designed to lay the hungry vampire that has been terrorising her Transylvanian village to rest. Irina’s beloved sister’s soul is trapped in the land of the dead. If Irina can retrieve it, she could bring her back – but Irina would need a guide, one who can walk between the living and the dead. Irina strikes up a deal with her new husband – if he agrees to get her safely there and back again, then he can drink her blood as much as he wants. They begin a perilous journey through the afterlife together, in which Irina realises Stefan isn’t the cruel and terrifying monster that she thought. In a land of three-headed beasts, winged creatures and walking corpses, the last thing Irina would have expected was to fall in love. Only, Irina learns that by bringing Stefan to the land of the dead she has put him in grave danger, and will be faced with an impossible choice. Will they be able to make it out, undead or alive?

Goodreads review by Sara on May 07, 2025

This book was a fantastic surprise, and I devoured it in almost one sitting! J.J.A. Harwood crafted a beautiful and daunting journey through the underworld, that becomes increasingly emotional the farther we go in. A Steep and Savage Path is not the typical vampire romance. Instead, it’s a deeply......more

Goodreads review by Faye on March 10, 2025

I'd love to write a long review about A Steep and Savage Path but I find it hard to write long reviews about books I love! So we'll just go with: 1) I cried for 30 minutes straight while reading this. Automatic 5 stars. 2) I didn't think it was going to be sweet and emotional! I wasn't prepared. The de......more
