A bargaining shadow daddy fae that part Lucifer (tv show) part Rhysand who is keeping secrets that can destroy his burgeoning relationship. I am here for it and also I now need the second book immediately because I must know what happens next. If you like Romantasy this is for you.
The narrator did a fantastic job narrating and voice acting so that it felt like a multi person cast recording and I never fell out of the story. Very well done!

Court that Bleeds Gold audiobook was absolutely fantastic, and the narrators did an amazing job. I especially loved the narrators voice that was used for Ruskin, as it smooth and almost soothing which is absolutely crazy when it applies to this story because there was never a dull moment. I devoured the story from beginning to end and the ending left me excited for the next book in this series. I couldn't get enough of Eleanor and Ruskin's characters as I enjoyed both of them, especially Eleanor. I don't want to give too much away because I think that paranormal romance readers that read this story will enjoy it immensely if they are like me when it comes to a story that keeps you captivated. I will say that there was never a dull moment in this story that is full of survival, betrayal, enemies, secrets, suspense, doubts, deals, riddles, threats, laugh out loud moments, great friendships, romance and more. I'm definitely not only looking forward to reading the next book in this series but giving other series/books from this author a try.

This was a good fantasy I can't wait to find out what happens next .. it reminds me of a fairytale but dark and was an enjoyable listen

I should have stopped at “A Court Of….”. This felt very boilerplate romantasy and I don’t think of that as a compliment. I felt this book lacked character development and the romance was disappointing for me. This book is billed as dark fantasy but this didn’t feel dark to me.

Ash Kingsley, the narrator, does a good job but doesn’t exactly set the tone for dark fantasy. I don’t blame them but if you say “dark”, choosing a narrator with a friendly/upbeat narration voice seems counterintuitive.

The blurb mentions “for fans of Sarah J. Maas” which is a high bar to set considering the fandom she has and while I do see some similarities here I’m not sure if this one lives up to that comparison.

I appreciate the effort in this novel and there is definitely an audience for it, but this one fell a bit flat for me. .
