I’ve always known my father was a gambling man.
I just never thought I’d be the final bet.
One poker game.
One cursed vampire.
One deal I was never supposed to uncover.
Now I’m trapped in the bayou with the Beast—New Orleans’ most feared enforcer. Cursed by a witch named Tinker Bell less than a year ago, he’s been silenced, isolated, and forgotten by the world.
Everyone’s forgotten who he truly is… except me.
The amulet he wears is the only thing protecting him from being cursed again. And everyone wants it.
The Wolf King. My father. And maybe even me.
Because the longer I stay, the more I feel something stirring in my blood—something dangerous, something magical, something that ties me to him.
But monsters don’t get fairy tale endings. And breaking the curse might save him… but it could destroy me.
Beast of Blood and Roses is a dark romantasy retelling packed with enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden magic, memory loss, a cursed vampire, and a heroine caught between secrets and power.
Perfect for fans of King of Battle and Blood and A Ruin of Roses.
I
I fell through a cursed mirror and landed in a dark fairytale… where the Mad Hatter isn’t just real—he’s mine to survive.
Half vampire, half witch, I’ve always lived between the lines of worlds that never wanted me. But when a hidden mirror inside New Orleans’ Nightshade Crypt drags me into the Elder Dimension, I find a Wonderland twisted by time, ruled by a bloodthirsty queen—and haunted by the one man she’ll do anything to destroy.
Darius Acosta.
The Mad Hatter.
A vanished Golden Demon with wildfire eyes, a sin-soaked smile, and a mind unraveling by the second.
He doesn’t trust me.
I shouldn’t want him.
But fate has other plans—and in this world, he’d kill before letting anyone else lay a finger on me.
The Mirror of Blood and Madness is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy with a dangerously broken hero, a heroine born of forbidden magic, a touch-her-and-die bond, and a wicked twist on Alice in Wonderland.
This is the second standalone in the Dark Ever After Fairytales series—where classic tales are reborn in blood, magic, and dangerously dark romance.
