About this listen
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic dark academia Medusa retelling about a woman who was wronged by her idols and refused to pay the price without getting revenge...
I was born a woman.
Raised by women.
In love with women.
Until I enrolled at Acheron University, I'd never known much of men. I certainly didn't know enough to fear them.
Then one stormy autumnal night, Professor Morgan tried to destroy me.
And when we were discovered by the university President, it was me who was punished for the unwanted seduction.
But they left me with two valuable lessons.
I would never let another woman be hurt by men again if I could help it.
And when someone hurts you, betrays you, and tries to rip out your soul, there is only one remedy for the pain.
Revenge.
And mine takes the form of the President's very beautiful, very virginal, very straight daughter, Luna Pallas.
Before the end of term, I'll destroy her innocence just as her mother and Professor Morgan destroyed mine.

Story
Penelope Boswell is my best friend. She’s my person. She’s who I call when I have good news and bad. She’s my comfort. My solace. But in the same breath, she’s my want, my longing, my ache. She isn’t mine. She never will be. It’s a special kind of cruel to be in love with someone you shouldn’t. To know your heart beats for someone you can never have. One phone call in the middle of the night, two thousand miles between us, and everything changes. She’s hurt. Sad. Broken. She needs me. He broke her, and now it’s my responsibility to step in and pick up the pieces…

I've spent my whole life preparing for one moment, but on the night I'm supposed to commit myself to the Moon Coven, a murder attempt has me fleeing the safety of the only home I've ever known. I run straight past the safe cottage in the woods and right into the arms of a most unlikely hero—a ruthless pirate captain. As I board The Ruined Soul, I can't be sure if I'm a passenger or a captive, but as the tides grow more dangerous, I begin to suspect there's more to the cold-hearted captain than meets the eye. And my magic just might be the thing to help her thaw out.

Sure, most of their interactions end in disaster and Regan is the root cause, but they are all accidents! She'll win Emma over though; she's determined to make this living arrangement work come hell or high water.

Now I know the truth: I’m a pawn in his dangerous game of revenge. I was too young and naïve. Now it's too late to save myself from his clutches.

As the most infamous mafioso of the 21st century, Dante Salvatore was madly passionate, unequivocally bad, and entirely too dangerous to know. He was everything I abhorred, yet I found myself representing him in the biggest criminal trial of the decade. I was so focused on winning and achieving the success I deserved that I didn't notice the gorgeous, black-eyed man's effect on me until it was too late.

All I wanted was to be away from the limelight, away from my parents. A perfect place where I could live a simple life. A fresh start. A small beach town. That's what I thought I found, until the tortured ocean-colored eyes of the town outcast catch me off guard. Everyone warns me to stay away from him. They tell me he's a monster. His eyes tell another story, though, and I need to know what it is. It becomes almost an obsession.

If there is one thing you needed to know about me it is this: I hate vampires. They are useless, soul-sucking monsters that destroy everything in their path, even my own family. I joined The Order and became a vampire hunter for revenge, but I never would have guessed that my job would entail baby-sitting the vampire heir to the most powerful clan in the world. And if she thought I was going to break like the other hunters she has been through... she has another thing coming to her.

I DEVOURED this audiobook 🐍🖤
There aren't enough words to describe the journey that Giana Darling and this book took me on. This was my first Giana book, and I was not disappointed! Her writing style is absolutely beautiful and the way she painted such vivid pictures of Lex and Luna's love story kept me captivated from the beginning and left me wanting more! I can’t wait to dive into more of her work.
This was narrated in dual by Rose Dioro and Quinn Riley and they NAILED IT with their performances. Rose was the quintessential choice and really brought out the rough edge that is Lex Gorgon while also showcasing her emotions and making me feel everything that Lex was going through (and man does she go through some tough sh*t). She has quickly moved her way up my list of favorites!
Then we have Quinn and she was new to me but I felt she voiced Luna Pallas effortlessly. She brought a slight innocence to Luna while she was on her journey of self discovery and grew with her in a sense while Luna made the choice to explore her identity in a space that didn't want her to and both of these characters were empowering and inspiring. These two voices were a perfect pairing and at times I felt like I was listening to a duet instead of dual narration
The romance was everything I wanted in a sapphic romance and I loved the push and pull of the relationship. There was definitely some angst and spice and I just loved watching them fall for each other.
✨ this book deals with some dark themes so go into this carefully and always protect yourself and your mental health first 🖤

It was great!
If you are looking for a sapphic medusa retelling romance look no further!! This one sucked me in right away and I didn’t want to put it down! Luckily because this was an audio I didn’t really have to! This was pretty much a one sit listen! I thought Luna and Alex were amazing characters!! This book broke my heart but then it was put back together again.
If you enjoy anti hero, enemies to lovers, found family, angsty, grumpy/sunshine, dark academia, revenge and redemption romances you will love this book! There are some very heavy subject matters that happen in this book so be sure to check content warnings before reading if needed.
I really enjoyed listening to this one! I thought that the narrators did a great job of hooking me in. Sometimes my mind can wonder when listening to an audiobook, but I didn’t find that happening while listening to this one! Serpentine Valentine is a book that I’d definitely recommend!!

Dark and twisted and oh so gooood!
Holy moly, people, where have I been? How have I not cracked into this one earlier? I absolutely smashed through this audio. And don’t even get me started on these two narrators’ performances. They OWNED this book. And the writing is perfection! This is Giana at her best. Dark, twisted, and filthy.
This is a dark FF romance set at a university. It tackles hard topics and there is tr@uma on the page, but it helps us understand the depth of emotions in Lex and Luna. This is a reve^ge story with a g@y main character and a character who believes she’s straight at the start of the book, but eventually, realises that the feelings she has for Lex are more than plutonic.
The cat and mouse, push and pull is delicious. The contrast between Luna and Lex is real but totally works.
Okay, so I am gonna rave about this audio because this is definitely a case of the audio was better. Rose morphs from the professor’s star student to the p@riah, and we feel it in her performance. She gives us all the venge@nce vibes with a window into the dark and twisted mind of Lex. She is the yin to Luna’s yang. This is my first time listening to Quinn, and her voice complemented Rose’s perfectly. We really feel how torn Luna is over her feelings and the relationship that’s developing between her and Lex, and it’s all because Quinn delivered the goods. These women make a powerhouse couple and they school us in the art of narration. Fifty million stars for their performance alone but couple that with a complex story that will drag you along kicking and scre@ming, b@rbed wire baseb@ll bats in hand (in the best possible way of course) and you have the recipe for GOLD!
Ten out of ten; highly recommend!

Loved it!
A beautiful story of betrayal, pain, revenge and love! I listened to this book in 2 days! I was hooked from the start and got deeper in with Lex and Luna’s s story. I loved having both MC’s points of view. I really enjoyed all the quotes from famous writers and activists at the beginning of each chapter. I was impressed with how much the quotes captured the essence of what was happening in that chapter. I will definitely read more books from this author!
The topic that this story tackles is heavy but one that needs to be brought to the light where monsters can be exposed. Excellent writing and amazing narrators!

Sapphic Dark Academia Medusa Retelling
Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling is a sapphic dark academia Medusa retelling that I listened to on audio narrated by Rose Dioro and Quinn Riley.
This is the first book of Giana's that I have read, and it definitely won't be last. I don't want to give any spoilers away. So, I will just say that I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Lex and Luna. Their relationship was messy, but they brought the best out of each other. I loved getting both of their points of views throughout this book. It really brought the story to life.
Rose and Quinn did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you're looking for a sapphic romance, modern day retelling, dark romance, or romantic suspense.

Quinn & Rose 😍😍
What a dream team. Lex and Luna were torturously bound and brought to life with such complexity by Quinn and Rose. This was my first Giana Darling book, and what a story to start with. It has been a long time since an audiobook has gripped me right in the beginning and has made me want to listen from start to finish. The emotions and trauma are at the forefront of this story, but underneath the darkness there is a stunning love story trying to snake its way out through the cracks. Beautifully performed!

Loved this story of revenge and healing!
This is a dark academia, sapphic, Medusa retelling romance that has many dark elements. Please check the content warnings as there are some very dark themes that could be disturbing to some readers.
***I listened to the book via audio. The Narrators are Rose Dioro and Quinn Riley. They did a fantastic job.
This book was very well written and I enjoyed the audio immensely. The story was very emotional and the characters had some very traumatic things happen that set the course of their actions. Please, If you find certain content in books disturbing, you look into the triggers. The beginning of the book leads up to a scene that was so lifelike, that it was hard to listen too. I felt for Lex and understood where her need for revenge came from. I found the attitude and actions that the college took during Lex's incident extremely disturbing and hope that if any person has to go through what lex did, they get the support they need. The story held my attention and I enjoyed the rest of the book.

What a mesmerizing story!
Narrated by Rose Dioro and Quinn Riley, together they weave a captivating dark academia tale. Lex's fierce journey of revenge against betrayal unfolds with gripping twists. The narrators' tones and inflections enhanced the story and brought the characters to life, making it an unputdownable one-day listen.
I especially loved the revenge elements, and the inclusion of steamy scenes adds an extra layer of intensity. The Man-Eaters club were freaking amazing!! Total badass women. I really loved this story and this won't be my last book by this author. A must-listen for dark academia and sapphic romance enthusiasts.
There are dark themes in this story, please check TWs.
