Description

Perfect for fans of Saltburn, For the Wolf, and House of Hollow, Tenderly, I Am Devoured is a moody, monstrously Gothic romantasy in which a young woman must bind herself to a dangerous chthonic demon with the help of the son of a rival family to save her family's legacy—and herself—from ruin.

Expelled from her prestigious boarding school following a violent incident, eighteen-year-old Lacrimosa Arriscane returns home in disgrace to discover her family on the point of financial ruin. Desperate to save them, she accepts a marriage of convenience… to Therion, the chthonic god worshipped by Lark’s isolated coastal hometown.

But when her betrothal goes horribly wrong, Lark begins to vanish from the mortal realm. Her only hope is to seek help from Alastair Felimath: the brilliant, arrogant boy who was her first heartbreak, and his alluring older sister, Camille. As the trio delve into the folklore of gods, Lark falls under the spell of the Felimath siblings.

Ensnared by a fervent romance, they perform a bacchanalia with hopes the hedonistic ritual will repair the connection between Lark and her bridegroom. Instead, they draw the ire of something much darker, which seeks to destroy Therion—and Lark as well.

Ooh this story was everything I needed for a dark stormy night. The characters were perfect and the story was written so well.

A beautiful, haunting romance that I've come to expect from Clipstone--absolutely loved this! Well-executed with gorgeous world building and incredible revelations.

This book has the perfect Gothic setting and atmosphere with just a hint of Spring. The worldbuilding is perfect and dreamy, leaving me feeling as though I myself am steeped in the world they live. And, oh, the characters; Clipstone has a way with her characters that heals my soul and leaves me feeling numb yet in love. Lark, Alastair, and Camille are all flawed young adults who are so real it hurts. Their love is complicated yet beautiful and left me breathless. I am so very impressed with how she built their relationships and trust. And I am unbelievably happy with such beautiful sapphic representation!

Clipstone has made another Gothic masterpiece with a flower-rich atmosphere full of art and history, and Chthonic Gods. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Gothic horror, spring, and beautiful prose.
