“we’re the composers, the conductor’s of our own fate, and we write the notes to a beautiful, dark melody that no one else can hear.”
this book was AMAZING ❤️🔥
i couldn’t put this book down for anything .
this book gives beauty & the beast / phantom of the opera vibes with a lot more going on . Lucian hires Isadora to help take care of his mom, not his nurse but a companion for her . Isadora has a painful past & she’s willing to do anything to get out of town to make some money , even if that means working for a guy with a thousand bad rumors about him . the way Lucian talks to Isadora is like he’s speaking poetry without even trying . the wording & quotes in this book were chiefs kiss . the spice in this book was gold 🔥 the plot of this book is super original & sooooo twisty . i think there were 5 different twists at the end & i had my jaw on the floor at all of them .
literally obsessed with this book . the writing was beautifully done 🫶🏼
this is my first book by Keri & i will now be ordering more from her immediately🖤
this book is definitely in my top reads of the year!
as always check your TW 🤍

So Worth the Read
Format: Audiobook
I absolutely loved this book. The pacing was great, the characters felt real, and the story kept me hooked the entire time.
There were a few moments that genuinely surprised me, and I appreciated how everything came together at the end. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys Dark Romance/ Gothic Fiction

4 star read - dark gothic romance
Format: Kindle
Master of Salt and Bones by Keri Lake
4 STAR READ
“You’re my curse. Staying away from you, is like trying to hold my breath when the tide is rising.”
This book reminds me a lot of Nightshade, also by Keri Lake, but without the fantasy element. It gives off the same gothic vibes, including flash backs, history of abuse, and sexual deviances. It also has some overlap with the older male character obsession that is seen in Nocticadia - though Lucien doesn’t hold a candle to Professor Bramwell.
SUMMARY
Lucien was abused, lied to, and manipulated his whole life, by everyone who should have protected and cared for him. A wealthy heir to a massive fortune, he is hard, dark, and delicious. The story unfolds across two timelines, jumping between Lucien’s past and present, and Isa’s POV. Lucien is viewed as the devil of Tempest Cove, covered in scars and rumors abound involving the death of his wife and son. Isa is the daughter of the town whore, who has struggle to fit in and cope with the tribulations of her life. Lucien hires Isa to be his mother’s companion, to keep her company and encourage her to get out of bed each day. As they continue to bump into each other and interact, their relationship develops beyond his dark obsession. Lucien is wary to get attached as his connection to a dangerous secret society puts everyone he cares about at risk, however there may be no way around Isa’s involvement.
WHAT I LIKED and DISLIKED
It was a great story full of tragedy and resilience. Both characters have deep back stories that unfold throughout the book, we get information at just the right time to make things make sense. It is really well told. It does feel a bit slow in the middle, I took a mid book break to read something else but came back to it and wondered why I stopped - the reason I gave 4 stars was because I had the need to take the break. Which tells me I lost interest during part of it.
Lucien has so many layers and each one is full of sadness and devastation. Isa’s story is tragic in its own way, however her youth has her dealing with them in a difference way - she is definitely more detached in her own way.
There is an age gap - Lucien is 33, Isa is 19 — I’m not usually a fan of this kind of age gap, but Isa isn’t childish or immature so it works. The book definitely gives Grumpy x sunshine vibes. The spice is well done and paced well throughout the book.
If you like spicy, gothic, dark romance and have enjoyed other books by Keri Lake this book will not disappoint.
There are references to rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental illness — I would check any triggers before reading

Good book, better price!
Format: Paperback
Jim Lee and the guys at DC really started a great thing with these Compact Comics. They’re super low-priced and easy to read. This one, DCeased, was pretty enjoyable. Can’t beat the under ten-buck price. I’ll definitely be buying more.
