Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A scorching, cathartic revenge story where a traumatized survivor and an obsessive demon burn everything down together—the spice is next-level and the emotional depth sneaks up on you.

Synopsis

Juniper After a cult tried to sacrifice me to their wicked God, I went on the run, doing whatever was necessary to survive. Until a demon offered me a deal: give him my soul and he'll help me claim the vengeance I seek. Blood will be spilled, and the monsters I once ran from will soon be running from me. But damning my soul was just the beginning - it's my heart the demon wants next. Zane I've been hunting souls for centuries, but she's the ultimate prize - vicious and feral, with a broken soul as dark as my own. I thought claiming her would be a simple game, but Juniper is far from simple. I chose to follow her on a path drenched with the blood of her enemies, but it's our blood that may be spilled next. As an ancient God wakes from Its slumber, neither of us may survive. Her Soul for Revenge is book 2 in the Souls Trilogy. Although all the books are interconnected, they are stand-alone and can be read in any order. Content Note This book contains sexual scenes, kink/fetish content, horror elements, drug use, scenes of trauma, anxiety, and PTSD, and depictions of "hard" kink/edgeplay. A complete CW can be found in the frontmatter of the book.

At a Glance

Book 2 of the Souls Trilogy (complete at 3 books). Standalone-friendly—interconnected but independent couples. Juniper survived a cult sacrifice and made a deal with a demon named Zane: her soul for his help getting revenge. The kink content is *extensive*—primal play, knife play, bondage, exhibitionism, degradation. Laroux writes some of the best spice in dark romance, full stop. Dual audiobook narration by Gregory Salinas and Desireé Ketchum is excellent. Heavy CW list but the trauma is handled with genuine care. Available on KU.
