A Lust for Blood (A Realm of Curses Novel)

Publication Date: November 1st. 2022

Genre: Adult Dark Fantasy

Publisher: Phantom House Press

There is no escape when the monster is you

When Oriana awakens in a field of blood and bodies, she is devastated to realize the patchwork of death was caused by her own hand. A curse lingers in the air, and there is only one option to save herself from further bloodshed. Oriana uses her magic to create an enchanted forest imprisoning the monster responsible for the massacre–herself.

Garren has built a career around slaying demons. When he learns of a centuries old creature locked away in the strange Phantom Wood, the opportunity is too great. He will stop at nothing to destroy the demon filth that lurks in those shadows if only to satisfy his own haunting memories.

Oriana soon finds herself caught in a cat and mouse game, fighting to keep her identity secret. As the two grow closer, secrets unravel. But could they each be the answer the other has been searching for?

Rating & Review

5 out of 5

I loved this! A curse that mirrors the curse of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, with the good side trying to control the demonic side, mixed with a bit of werewolf as her evil side comes out on full moons. I loved Orianna and Garren, and I was hoping that if Garren found out he wouldn’t follow through and do what he came to the forest to do – slay the beast. I really enjoyed learning about Orianna’s past the further in we got, including how she came to be cursed. Smith’s descriptions really bring you into the story, and you watch it unfold like you’re right in the midst of it. The world is well-built, and the magic system was also well-developed. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, but definitely for more mature readers.

A gender bent reimagining of the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde meets the Witcher! The first in the Realm of Curses series, this book is full of monsters, curses and dark forests! Perfect for the autumn and spooky seasons!
