Review: The Bone Bride: A Raven King Short Story by Merrie Destefano

About the Book
A high-born girl learns she’s been sold as a bride to a dead goblin prince.

Being betrothed to a goblin prince is bad enough—they’re all ugly and horrid and live in dark tunnels underground. But being betrothed to a dead goblin prince? That’s an immediate death sentence!

Nineteen-year-old Rowan attempts to flee when she learns about her arranged marriage. But there’s no escaping a contract signed by the dreaded Goblin King.

Now, all the dark magic in the Realm is against her. The gruesome King of Death himself will be looking for her soon.

Rowan’s only hope is to convince the fair Nicholas—the boy she planned to run away with—to destroy her marriage contract. But it must be done before the sun rises.

And already, the sky is brightening with light.

This enemies-to-lovers 30-minute short read is set in the same world as the upcoming RAVEN HEART series.

MY THOUGHTS

I absolutely loved this story! I was just going to read for a few minutes before bed, but I couldn't put it down. I had to finish it. This quick read had me fully engaged. I loved the eerie vibe and beautiful, vivid writing style that made everything come to life. I slipped into this world and, despite the haunting atmosphere, didn't want to leave. Seriously, the world building was spectacular. I never knew what to expect next. I loved the surprise of it all, the unpredictability of what was gonna happen next. If you enjoy dark fantasy, you're sure to love this story. I highly recommend it!

I received a complimentary copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
