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.

Erg leuk boek. Door het boek heen zijn er jumpcuts van heden naar het verleden om de relatie tussen Callie, haar IOU's en de bargainer te verduidelijken. Erg goed geschreven, beetje spice, duistere plottwists maar niet te horror. Overall goed boek.Ik heb het gevoel dat de andere reviewer te erg op dr strepen staat door de narrator. En dat heer review heeft doen kleuren. Want dat stukkie in venetie is misschien totaal 0,2% van t boek

Serieus!! Venice is aan het zinken en dan een Scandinavier met Duits accent 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ en dat in Italië.. verder grappig verhaal. Volgende boek toch echt even beter verdiepen in europa als je daar heen gaat met je characters

Super leuk boek. Fijn voorgelezen ook. De eerste review op dit boek is echt een beetje uit het niets gegrepen en geeft een vertekend beeld. Ik heb me totaal niet gestoord aan het stukje “Venetië”. Heel vermakelijk boek. Op naar de volgende.

Interesting story definitely not a light hearted romance. Trigger warnings should have been in the summary, since (attempted) sexual assault is a key element to the plot and backstory.
