The book can be quite dark at times, take the content warning into account but I found I can sufficiently distance myself from that content and it not over power my thoughts. This was a very addictive read with a mystery that definitely hit the creepy factor. What I thought: Loved this tale of friends turned enemies (on one side) to lovers. Only, his foe has a taste for exotic creatures, and Callie just happens to be one.Ĭontent warning: Sexual violence, violence If the Bargainer has any hope to save his people, he’ll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago. And then there are the whispers among the slaves, whispers of an evil that’s been awoken.

Only the women are returned, each in a glass casket, a child clutched to their breast. Fae warriors are going missing one by one. Something is happening in the Otherworld. For the Bargainer, it’s more than just a matter of rekindling an old romance. At first it’s just a chaste kiss - a single bead’s worth - and a promise for more. When Callie finds the fae king of the night in her room, a grin on his lips and a twinkle in his eye, she knows things are about to change. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects.īut for one of his clients, he’s never asked for repayment. He’s a man who can get you anything you want…at a price.

Everyone knows that if you need a favour, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen.

Only death or repayment will fulfil the obligations. For the last seven years she’s been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favours she’s received. In a nutshell: Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past.
