All Linh wanted was to feel safe.

After escaping vile bandits, Linh is faced with a conundrum. She can either run through the Demon-filled wilds, or seek safety from a serpent monster.

The longer she forces her presence in the monster’s territory, the more she learns a Duskwalker’s heart can be nurturing. Despite her fears, she longs for the slither of his scales across her skin and the burning desire it awakens in her.

All Nathair wanted was to be left alone.

Dealing with the pressure of his fractured mind, Nathair’s return to life has been unpleasant. He’s in pain, his voice lost, and he finds himself protecting a female who is in more danger from him than she realises.

She’s broken. Though he doesn’t know if he can mend her, he craves her so fervently he will do anything to keep her. But Linh wants to return to her people, and Nathair cannot go with her.

How can Nathair convince her to choose him when he is more monstrous than any other Mavka?

While very different from previous books in the series, ASTP was, in my opinion, a masterpiece. Difficult topics were discussed and handled with care and respect. (Please check the TWs.). The format of this book was different from those before it but was written well and didn't seem to lag or drag on. I enjoyed getting to know these new characters and while I'm sad they didn't encounter any of our previous characters, I think it worked really well. The characters were well rounded and showed amazing development throughout. Opal managed to take two severely damaged individuals and help them work through their trauma all while building a solid relationship. The spice ? Very nice. These two have very quickly moved up my list of favourite opal characters. Give it a chance. 5⭐️

5.0 out of 5 stars Love and trauma into an excellent story
Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2024
Oh my gosh, as always I love everything Opal has ever written! The newest book with Linh and Nathair is absolutely no exception.

I personally am a lover of all genres of romance, including the darker books. So I've loved the fact that Opal's books have gotten progressively darker as they delve into the characters traumas and mental health aspects.

This book is definitely one that delves the deepest into these subjects and I highly recommend that anyone with triggers read the warnings before starting this book.

That being said I love how well this book was written. I love how it allows a look into people's minds and how 2 people can be looking at the same thing but see and feel 2 completely different things. I also love that while she demonstrated that while connection and love and time can help you work through and overcome trauma, that the feelings and memories left behind by it are never truly gone.

As always, the writing and the spicy scenes are absolute perfection. I also love how the duskwallers have gotten progressively less human and more monstrous in each story (but I also love me some monster romances so).

This book was a masterpiece. And while I do feel that the story has not really advanced too much story/plot wise in the last few books, I trust Opal and I feel that ensuring we have a thorough understanding of who all her characters truly are, is going to vital to whatever events are coming in the last book! Cannot wait!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Duskwalker Yet
Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2024
A soul to protect was another 5⭐️duskwalker book for me. It was definitely more character driven than some of the other books in the series but I liked it all the more for that. The story centers on Linh, a human fleeing from a heavily traumatizing situation (check trigger warnings!!) who accidentally stumbles into the life of Nathair, a massive Mavka with the inability to speak, and his own mental health struggles. As the two grow closer they both learn to heal and blossom in their individual ways, as well as growing together. I loved the kind of grumpy / sunshine vibe that Nathair and Linh had. I loved that they faced their struggles head on and at the end, nobody was just magically fixed. Watching Linh and Nathair learn to communicate was so beautiful and I’m glad that the end focuses on the acceptance of that rather than taking it away.

I also really enjoyed the spice in this book. It features a little bit of a slower burn before we get into it but it was *chefs kiss* Nathair was such a horny duskwalker in the best ways.

Overall, a soul to protect might be my favorite in the series so far, and I canNOT wait to see what the conclusion to this series brings us

4.0 out of 5 stars I love Nathair!
Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2024
I fricken love Nathair. He's probably my favourite dustwalker at this point.

My only real gripe with this book is that there was no mention of the demon king and what is happening on that front. This book felt like it could be a complete standalone where the others required the other books for world/story building.

Regardless, I love this series, and I love the inclusion of a mute MC who uses sign language. Also, not going into detail about the trauma Linh has faced was a considerate decision Opal made. You don't need the traumatic details of past events to convey why someone has PTSD and mental health struggles. I'm sad that this is the second to last book in the series but I hope the next book gives us an ending to that overarching plotline/dilemma regarding the demon king, demon village and the fae.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another 5 star banger!
Reviewed in Canada on June 25, 2024
Another fantastic book by Opal Reyne! Nathair and Linh have skyrocketed to my second favourite Duskwalker couple.

Nathair is one of the oldest Duskwalkers and suffers from magical mutism. He has plenty of humanity and understands the concept of consent. He has patience and understanding in helping Linh recover from her past.

Together, these two are goofy and loving. They pick on each other, but also support each other through their traumas. I wept. I literally cried at the end of the book. I’m so excited for Book 8!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not fun
Reviewed in Canada on July 3, 2024

This book was only enjoyable because of Nathair.
While I can appreciate the reason behind wanting to give visibility to SA survivors, reading about a person fresh out of their ordeal and still actively in the deep end of that trauma is simply not enjoyable. Linh's issues are just consistent speed bumps that interrupt almost every single romantic or steamy moment because of her ptsd. It is a well written and realistic story of a woman learning to feel desire again after that horror, but the content simply isn't fun to read.
My least favorite book in the series because of the fmc and plot. I love Nathair though and all three of my stars are completely for the sake of the sweet snakey boi.

This book was wonderfully written! I was so pleased with the storyline and development of the characters. I loved seeing the growth of learning patience and learning how to heal. As someone who's gone through some severe SA myself it was beautiful to read a story about someone who's gone through that and learned how to keep going. I felt seen when Lihn showed negative reactions to random moments because that's how it is sometimes. Some moments everything is fine and then a random thing can trigger a reaction. I liked that not everything was so easy to move on for her now that she had a creature who was treating her well. I also really loved the constant display of learning how to grow to someone else's personality and needs. Such as Lihn learning a different kind of sign language to communicate with Nathair.
Overall this book was heart wrenching and beautiful in a dark and sad way. I definitely recommend reading it!

I loved this story. I loved that the two main characters communicate so openly. And this is despite one of them being unable to speak! There is no drama based on misunderstandings, which is a refreshing change. Looking forward to the final book in the series. Hope it brings all the duskwalkers together at last!
