She was surprised that he didn’t mind, but she knew it wouldn’t matter. She pulled on the skirt of the long dress and peered down at it. “If you do not like any of the clothing, you are welcome to change them.” He tilted his head at her, which she was beginning to understand conveyed curiosity or thought. “I wish you had something different for me to wear.” He was just standing there idly with his arms limp by his sides. “I feel ridiculous wearing a wedding dress.” She sighed as she walked down the hallway and greeted him where he was waiting for her in the living room. Perhaps not truly comfortable, but safe nonetheless. Not just from the world outside, but him as well. He wasn’t intending to hurt her, and the amulet was just further proof of that.įor the first time, she actually felt safe in his presence. I will try to make sure it doesn’t end if I can.
It finally registered that some of those marks on the walls belonged to those who hadn’t been killed by him. She’d remembered he’d said those words to her as he was kneeling in front of her while he was fixing it to her head. His words had been like a blanket of safety and ease, and it was then that she knew he’d meant if she wanted to die at the hands of Demons. Once he explained what it did, an overwhelming amount of relief washed over her. He’d asked her if she wanted to die, and at first, she’d thought it was a threat. She needed to remind herself that she was in a nightmare and that this cute cottage was nothing but deception and lies. The only good things were Orpheus who was a sweetheart and the 5⭐️ smut.She didn’t get that far, and she didn’t think she actually would have once she got outside and saw the forest, but she’d wanted to know, needed to fully see the trees pressing her in like bars of a cage. Once the Katerina drama started I kind of checked out. And I usually like long books, but in this case there was no need for that many pages. I kept reading and reading and not so many things were happening. What would happen if they simply refused to do it?Īnd why did he do it exactly once every 10 years? Why 10 years and not sooner if some of those people either died or were taken after a short time? I skimmed over the last 35% so maybe the answer was there and I didn't see it or it was mentioned and I didn't realise.Īlso, when does it take place? It gave the impression it was a medieval setting but words like "Stockholm syndrome" were used which is a modern term.Īlso, it was way too long, almost 600 pages. It wasn't like a universal curse or "rule" where all the Duskwalkers had to do it. Why did the humans sacrifice those people? From my understanding Orpheus did it because he was looking for a companion/bride. I was so happy to read this book after seeing multiple good reviews but in the end it disappointed me so bad.įirst, the world building was not that clear.
