Rhapsodic
Rhapsodic | Laura Thalassa
Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she's been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she's received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear. Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He's a man who can get you anything you want ... at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for one of his clients, he's never asked for repayment. Not until now. When Callie finds the fae king of the night in her room, a grin on his lips and a twinkle in his eye, she knows things are about to change. At first it's just a chaste kiss-a single bead's worth-and a promise for more. For the Bargainer, it's more than just a matter of rekindling an old romance. Something is happening in the Otherworld. Fae warriors are going missing one by one. Only the women are returned, each in a glass casket, a child clutched to their breast. And then there are the whispers among the slaves, whispers of an evil that's been awoken. If the Bargainer has any hope to save his people, he'll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago. Only, his foe has a taste for exotic creatures, and Callie just happens to be one.

I saw this one recommended on a Facebook group for someone looking for something specific (but I don‘t remember what). This is a dark fantasy, the MC has been through a lot, but tries to not think of herself as a victim. You get present day and 7 years ago in the past. You watch the relationships unfold. This is the 1st book in a trilogy that I plan to continue.

🌶️🌶️🌶️ TW for sexual abuse, rape.

Meh, Im hoping this book is character development & the rest of the series is better. I've seen a lot of reviews saying there's grooming? I disagree; Because of Callie's bargain/wish the "magic" separated them for 7 years. He waited all that time for her. I guess you could say. Being fae and not knowing how old he really is and her being 16 at first?ACOTAR had a similar age gap& we all loved that shit. THEYRE MATES WE ALL KNOW ITS COMING **eyeroll

I don‘t know how memorable this book was. I don‘t find Callie particularly believable, but I liked the ending and I‘m willing to give her another chance.

I really enjoyed this one. Paranormal romance that was really a quick read that was easy to fall into. I would‘ve liked the ending to not have been so easily tied up but aside from that total fan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

While I'm not a romance reader, I did appreciate the magic and supernatural elements. If you enjoy stories of romance accented with fantasy this is the book for you. I did think the conflicts resolved too quickly, and I would have liked to see more back and forth. Will I read the next book? Maybe. I do want to know how Calypso is going to recover.

The premise of this interested me but I felt there was just too much romance and it completely overtook what promised to be an amazing story. Also I love this cover.

Callie has made a horrible decision but at this point it was the only thing that kept her alive but will she be able to live with the consequences when the police come to get her? She only has one option to make, a deal with the Bargainer. Seven years later, Callie is still battling her past and running a PI shop with her best friend. The only issue is she still has 322 favors she owes the Bargainer and he‘s come back to collect.

⬇️⬇️⬇️

Schnoebs I‘ve recently binged this entire series and really enjoyed the hell out of it! I gave all 3 books 4 ⭐️s and the novella 4.24⭐️. Definitely a fun and smutty book that id recommend to any fans of Sarah J Maas 4y

Between a pick and a so-so.

The book is entertaining, but it has some issues. It is somewhat slow to start, but rushed towards the end. Plus, the ebook is full of typos. I‘m also not a fan of “alpha” males, “mates”, or pushy-but-supposedly-nice behaviors. Especially not when it‘s telling a depressed person to get up.

I read this book solely on the recommendation of a friend because I‘ve stayed away from romance heavy books in recent years, but it surprised me, I very much enjoyed it and will continue to read the series. I can‘t wait to see more of Callie‘s growth and transformation, her and Des‘s relationship and the adventures they have.

I signed up for a 1-month free trial of Kindle Unlimited, which turned out to be the perfect opportunity to start this PNR series I've been eyeing for awhile. I'm enjoying it so far, but can't help but wish that not every PNR heroine has to be a private investigator--why can't one of them be a teacher, or work at Target?

bunny I would absolutely read a PNR with a heroine who was a teacher or worked at Target! 6y

After reading Sarah J Maas I had a serious book hangover and this story while different was also a wonderful romantic fantasy.

My knuckles go white as my grip on the porcelain tightens. Now I know what Desmond cashed that one particular bead in for. Sobriety. Forget the supernatural bounty hunters that are after him; that fucker is mine.

Over all, it's a decent book. I liked it enough to want to give book 2 a shot. I personally felt the ending was rushed, it didn't tie up any loose ends. Callie turned into a damsel of distress trope for me and I was not a huge fan of that. Maybe the second book answers the questions I have, but I guess I'll see when I read it. Over all- a good read if you're looking to not think, but definitely not a read if you like to over analyze books.

Do you love sexy fae males? With bat wings? Who make bargains? Who rule the night court? As similar as Des is to Rhys, the plot of this book is completely different, but still just as interesting and intense as ACOTAR! Definitely recommend this book.

What a great book!! Fantastic characters...Callie & Des have a badass love story, & if you love intrigue, fairies and sirens and all things Otherworld, this book is for you. Can't wait for the next one.

Lise1 Loved these books. Loved the ending but wanted more 5y
