Master of Salt & Bones

By: Keri Lake

Narrated by: Stefanie Kay, Ryan West

Meet the Devil of Blackthorne Manor.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born.

Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined.

In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Lucian Blackthorne is as cursed as I am, and equally shunned by the locals, the fishers of men, who believe him to be the devil in the flesh.

Perhaps he is, with the way his amber eyes draw me in, ignite me like an infernal blaze. And the sins he whispers in my ear are as wickedly intoxicating as the man himself.

Yet, his touch is heaven and his will is my weakness.

He calls us forbidden, an unsalvageable tragedy, with no happy end. Maybe we are. But in this story, he’s the one who needs saving.

Master of Salt & Bones is a dark, modern gothic contemporary standalone romance.

Wow….

Damn that was a superb listen! No spoilers from me. This whole story is twisted off good. You can actually see this story as what today is all about. Great work from the author & excellent narration.

Spooky dark romance

This book... I don't even know what to say. It is dark, eerie, and extremely twisted. But in a way that was mostly dark and spooky.

- secret society
- boss/ employee
- big age gap
- morally grey mmc
- ptsd
- mental health rep.

The things that these main characters went through were so dark, I think I'm going to have nightmares. There were some parts that had me sick and I read a lot of dark romance so be prepared and check CWs.

The story was a bit long to me and maybe didn’t need to be. The narrators were good. Just a bit overkill on some of the voice acting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Not the best female to male narration

Great story but the narrators aren’t the best as switching from female to female to male characters. Almost no difference. Would’ve been better as a duet.

Wow so many triggers on every front.

If you can get past all of those.. okay pretty good book… but like so so many warnings for those of you who might get triggered.. you are warned.

It wasn’t terrible

The plot was kind of wonky and some of the scenes were unhinged but the voice acting was really good
