Publisher's Summary

Meet the Devil of Blackthorne Manor.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born.

Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined.

In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Lucian Blackthorne is as cursed as I am, and equally shunned by the locals, the fishers of men, who believe him to be the devil in the flesh.

Perhaps he is, with the way his amber eyes draw me in, ignite me like an infernal blaze. And the sins he whispers in my ear are as wickedly intoxicating as the man himself.

Yet, his touch is heaven and his will is my weakness.

He calls us forbidden, an unsalvageable tragedy, with no happy end. Maybe we are. But in this story, he’s the one who needs saving.

Master of Salt & Bones is a dark, modern gothic contemporary standalone romance.

Enjoyed this one!

Could not put this one down! It was so good. Plenty of plot and not too much filler 😆 If I could just give an extra star for Lucien Blackthorn all broody and living in a castle I would. Nice and twisty at a good pace 👌

Excellent novel / audiobook

I was getting a film noir type feeling based on the performances. Loved the multi level plot lines.. worth it!

Needs a trigger warning or some hint at its true content

When I began reading this book, I truly thought that it would be a little kinky, but still a fun story to read. I was very mistaken. It is a lot more intense and has a lot more now disturbing acts in it than any of the other reviews, I’ve read or the synopsis suggests. Particularly Lucien’s flashbacks. Read with discretion. I made it to chapter 21 before I couldn’t handle it anymore.

Rollercoaster of a story but where are the TW?!

I still don't know how I feel about this story due to how dark and messed up it was. Was I sucked in by the suspense and intrigue? 100% yes!

I found myself fat forwarding through some of these scenes because well it broke me for what both characters went through and because I found it really messed up. I'm glad they got their happy ending but I was curious to know what the future held for them.

Lucian was at his core a good guy but because of his upbringing and secret society well the mentally illness sufferer in me howled at what they did to him.

Trigger warnings:
Abusive relationship
Abuse of a child
Child death (mentioned)
Autoerotic asphyxiation
Consensual non-existent
Death
Drugs
Misogyny
Sexual assault
Torture
Murder

Also lots of swearing, sex scenes and secret society. Age gap.

I hope by listing the Trigger warnings above this may potentially help guide others who are interested in buying this audiobook.

I think if this book hadn't been so dark and twisted I could've really gotten into it. Not sure if I'm game to try other books by this author.
