Igni Ferroque: A Dark MM Paranormal Romance

Tennebrose, Book 2

By: Ashlyn Drewek

Narrated by: Michael Gallagher, JF Harding

Despite being branded as an outcast amongst outcasts, Phelan Oliver devotes his life to helping his fellow Necromancers. But even with his vast knowledge, nothing prepares him for the day he comes face to face with a demon he didn’t summon—one who embodies everything he has been taught to hate, whose wickedness sparks sinful feelings Phelan can’t ignore no matter how much he tries.

Taken captive by a prince of Hell, Phelan strikes a desperate bargain. In exchange for his soul’s freedom, he’ll give his captor what he wants, even if it means betraying his own family. But demons aren’t the only ones with secrets and Phelan’s might end up costing them both more than they’d ever imagined.

IGNI FERROQUE is a dark MM paranormal romance about a pious Necromancer and an incorrigible demon and what happens when their paths intersect. There’s scorching steam and brutal violence in this enemies-to-lovers tale, wrapped up with plenty of intrigue and betrayal. It is intended for a mature audience and listener discretion is advised. A full list of triggers can be found in the front matter of the book and at my website under Tropes & Triggers. This book can be listened to as a standalone, but it is highly suggested to listen to the series in order, as the history of Winslow and its witches builds on itself with each book.

Blew Me Away

This story was beyond amazing. It went in directions I never expected and the ending blew me away!! The narration is nothing short of incredible. Such talent by both men.

Ashlyn is a true storyteller and this book is proof. Mindful of possible triggers.

OMFG that was EPIC!

Ashlyn Drewek soooo delivered again!! At first I was pissed this wasn't done as a duet it's a dual so we don't get as much JF Harding as Remeil 🥰 but Michael Gallagher voicing Remeil is 🔥! This is book 2 in this Tennebrose collection & I LOVED the first plus throw in my FAV narrator & I freaking devoured it and loved every second so I was so stoked for this one but deeply wish it would've been a duet😭. I'm an avid fantasy/paranormal/spicy reader and these just check every box plus throw in lots of clearly researched facts/lore but these were my first MM solely books & I'm hooked but unsure how any could follow up on these two. It's not too necessary to read the first but it would help and well, I loved it. This book follows Phelan Oliver a necromancer/witch/catholic on a wild ride.. well no spoilers ever but a push... it's MM with angst and confusion& fire with the paranormal 🔥
Plot 5/5 Spice 4.5/5 Performances: JF Harding 9/10 Michael Gallagher 8/10 (he's new to me but will make future cuts I'm very picky😉)
Overall Book Score 9/10 soooo excited for more unhappy about the wait now

So dark yet so good

I like most dark romances but even this one has a few scenes where I had to remind myself it was just a book. Remembering that let me embrace the darkness and ainqm glad ai did it was a truly great book with Lots of twist and turns.

Something completely different than the traditional enemies to lovers trope That made it so enthralling.

Great narration too. Really did well with portraying the characters and their emotions

Slow-burn with incredible plot.

This was just perfect. Easily reaches top 5 in my favorite MM books ranks. Best type of morally grey ml.

Sinful Deprivation

Not for the faint of heart. Dark themes with human depravity, but somehow there is a happy ending amongst all this sin and deprivation. A unique take on what constitutes evil.
