About this listen

Lorelai has always been drawn to the dark and strange, spending her days exploring the silence of the graveyard. But one evening, her fascination takes a chilling turn when she encounters the enigmatic Bone King, the ruler of the dead—a haunting figure who seems to understand her in ways the living never could.

Caught between worlds, Lorelai is torn when Westley Harper, a stubborn young bachelor from the city refuses to take no for an answer. At first, she dismisses him as a man too bound by logic to appreciate her morbid interests and obsession with the hereafter. Yet as Westley’s charm begins to work its way into her heart, she realizes there may be more than one kind of enchantment that entices her.

In a world where life and death compete for her devotion, Lorelai must decide where her heart—and fate—truly belong.

Amazing!

This book absolutely has a part of me left inside of it pages! This book will draw you in and not let you go until you finish it! The narrator does an amazing job of portraying all of the characters emotions feelings, and how the characters interact!

I loved seeing the discussion of multiple topics that can be a little much for some readers or listeners depend on if you reading the novella or listening to the audiobook. Though you will succumb to this world and get lost inside of the pages! Amanda does an amazing job of portraying the characters emotions through different verbiage. That really puts you there with them. You feel like you’re part of the story in a way!

Beautiful

The disclaimer at the beginning of the audiobook was perfection. Letting the listener/reader know what to expect is much appreciated.

The story itself is heart-wrenchingly beautiful. The narrator tells the story in a way that draws you into the characters' feelings and emotions. She was a perfect match for Amanda's writing and storytelling.

Amanda crafted a world that draws you in and doesn't let you go. It isn't just a love story or a romance, but a story about love. There are so many types of love felt within the pages/words that you're sure to find yourself relating to, and feeling, what the characters are going through. The giddiness and excitement of a new love, the playfulness of immature love, the comfort of the love of a parent/caregiver.

The story pulls at your heartstrings as the characters weigh their decisions and what those decisions mean for those they care about. Death, time, and the afterlife are described and discussed in an incredibly touching manner. As someone who lost a loved one who was on borrowed time, I couldn't help but be comforted by the way Death was personified. You would think a story involving such a seemingly macabre topic would be dark, but instead, it is full of hope, light, warmth, and love.

This book will be with me for a long time, and I plan to revisit it often.

Dark & Dreamy

This is out of the norm for my usual reading habits but I absolutely devoured it! Amanda Cessor writes the Bone King as a captivating character, one to choose to love. I absolutely adored this depiction of him and how he's been known by so many names and depicted in so many different ways. I'd choose him over Wesley too, especially in the original version! I loved this.

Fans of Corpse Bride might love this!

Multi Leveled Thought Provoking Words, Expertly Narrated.

Some books are better then other books. This is one of the better ones.

On its most visible surface, it's a love story. A story about a woman who has choices to make. (Or, does she?) Yes, one of her suitors is a bit unconventional, but to her, that's not really a factor. (Or is it?)

Then, there are the stories that fall beneath the surface, the questions it asks and makes us ponder. Free will? Predetermination? What's next? What was before?

Amanda Cessor has beautifully written a small gem of love and loss, of hope and despair, of mourning and happiness.

What elevates the novella to another level is the narrator, Bonnie Walsh. Her lush voice, her tones and personality give voice to a variety of characters in a most spectacular way. I got lost in her voice and carried away to a new world.

This combination of writer and narrator is special. I, for one, certainly hope they pair up again in future projects.
