About this listen
Shadows always return to the darkness.
A cage.
Owned by a ruthless Assassin Lord, Scarlett Monrhoe and her two sisters have been trained since they were children to torture and take life. They are the most feared trio on the continent, but they are also wild and unpredictable. A tragic night has Scarlett finding herself locked away in a noble's household, trapped and forgotten, until she's ready to fall into line.
A choice.
Until the day she is presented with a job. If she completes the assignment, her payment will be something she has coveted for 10 years. Revenge against the Fae Fire Prince who brutally killed her mother 10 years ago. Is she willing to sacrifice her ideals for retribution?
A mystery.
But when children begin disappearing from her home, all her plans are put on hold as she races to save the most innocent. With the help of old friends, a jilted lover, and a mysterious newcomer who claims the magic of the Fae is possible in the mortal lands, Scarlett delves into the darkest corners of the world. Forgotten secrets will come to light, and she will discover the darkness extends far beyond her own kingdom.
Lady of Darkness is book 1of 5 in the Lady of Darkness series. It is a new adult, dark fantasy romance novel. It features slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers troupes and may have triggers of love-hate themes, sexual scenes, references to sexual trauma, violence, and jealous/possessive themes. It is part of a series and does end on a cliffhanger. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Raven Kennedy will fall in love with this series.

Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

Easy to listen to! The Narrator is one I didn’t have any problems getting sucked into the story! If you loved Celaena Sardothien this book might be for you. I can’t wait to start the second.

Fantastic!
I was hesitant to pick up this book, because young/new adult themes aren't my jam. I took a gamble, and am so glad I did!
I listened to the audio version and loved the narrator's performance. She was able to portray the cast of characters well, in addition to imbuing events with emotion.
I enjoyed the rich characters, the plot (and sub-plots), world setting and all the in-between. The author mixed past and present storylines with finesse, captivating me with her storytelling. There were many surprises and twists, mystery, tension, tragedy, and more.
This book sets the stage for what I anticipate will be an epic fantasy series. I dove into book 2 immediately after reading this book.
The first 2 books are available on audible. The remaining books don't appear to have released in audio format yet.
Keeping my review free of story details, as you don't want to accidentally come across a spoiler. 4.5 Stars here!

Instantly obsessed with this storyline!
Wow, if you’re a fan of Throne of Glass or From Blood and Ash, you NEED to read this!!
Trigger warning ⚠️ - rape and violence.
I quickly became obsessed with the Lady of Darkness. Scarlet is such a damaged, guarded, and emotional MFC. She is anything but a lady, and as you learn about her experiences you mourn with her, cry with her, rage with her, and love with her.
The pace was somewhat slow but I felt that it was useful with what you were learning of Scarlet, her experiences and the other characters. I also really enjoyed the dual POV in the book, as I often wish I could know what was going on inside of the MMCs head.
This left you on the edge of your seat and I feel like there is so much more the readers are left wanting to know and learn, in a good way.
I also need to give a shout out to Laura Horowitz,
because her narration of the audiobook was stellar and made me dive in even more!
I cannot wait to listen to the second book in the Lady of Darkness series!

OBSESSED
Ok. WOW. Tbh the first 3 hours of the audiobook was, laughable. Kind of annoying as the main female character felt childish and it took some time to get used to the narration. By chapter 10 I was into it and hooked.
I absolutely was/am obsessed with ACOTAR and TOG and this book was full of pieces/ ideas from those books, which is honestly BRILLIANT because, like I said…. (Obsessed).
The last 1/3 of this book had me totally hooked and the ending — I can’t get over how incredibly hooked I am and as I write this book 2 is downloading.
Truly brilliant. I never write reviews although I depend on them a lot when picking a new series.
This one is right up there and I can see how this book has set up a lot of intrigue and development for the next books.
I can’t recommend this enough.

Dark Horse Book
I didn't have super high expectations for this, but it blew me away. Always love Laura Horowitz's narration and this did not disappoint. I grew very attached to the characters by the end and the villain was diabolical. A couple predictable plot twists, but complex enough to keep me invested and interested. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series.

A 5 star to a 3 thanks to main character
I wanted to like this book, a little derivative, but entertaining! However the main character really annoyed me. In the middle of a battle, secrets get dropped about her allies by the enemy (in an obvious attempt to unsteady her relationships) and she (in the middle of battle!!) begins to question everything and turns on the people helping her. I realize this is for dramatic effect but it makes me but trust the character’s ability to reason and I dislike her for it.

It sort of is filling the hole that TOG left. It is setting up for a larger world, and new characters so I hope the next book picks up on the action, and less dramatic long periods of talking in circles.

Really cliché and generic
Cliché and cheesy themes that are the common brand of these run of the mill generic romances with shallow plots, characters that are cookie cutter in their development, and the world building is like sprawling subdivision developments.
Narration: It’s difficult to understand where sentences and dialogues begin and end, poor breaks for punctuation. Sometimes the voice is too shrill for my ears during excited enunciation. The main character is whiny and immature.
Overall I found it to be a very predictable plot. I haven’t read the other books in this series so perhaps it takes off in a better direction from here, but I’m not interested in finding out.
