Vincula Realm, Book 1

By: Jamie Applegate Hunter

The morally grey don’t want redemption. They want retribution.

After the brutal murder of her twin sister, Aurora 'Rory' Raven spends years forging herself into a ruthless vigilante killer.

She never gave up her search for the man who killed her sister, but when she is convicted of thirteen murders and sentenced to five-hundred years in Vincula, the prison realm, she knows her sister’s death will never be avenged.

After arriving in Vincula, Aurora discovers her opportunity for retribution is closer than she thought.

Caius is the notorious Umbra King, ruler of Vincula, King of the Monsters, and the thing nightmares are made of. After being locked in his own realm for a crime he didn’t commit, his only focus has been revenge.

When Aurora drops into his throne room, representing everything he despises, they begin a game of cat and mouse, and before long, their hatred turns into something else.

Circumstances draw them together, but revenge might tear them apart.

The Umbra King is book one in the Vincula Realm Duology, which is set in the Realms of the Aether multiverse. It ends on a cliffhanger.

Contains mature content.

Stitch Vibes

First of all, the narrators were amazing, both were sultry and confident and made the whole experience wonderful.

Now, the book was phenomenal! Towards the end of the book, the main character, Rory, embodied Stitch (yeah, the little blue alien). Specifically the scene where he crawls out of the spaceship and cackles like a hyena, well towards the end, Rory does something with that same energy and I was f*cking here for it!

Great pace, stunning storyline, unique prison realm, PERFECT enemies to lovers, just the right amount of jealously, and all the tropes that make you wet! *Chefs kiss*

Shadow daddy!!

4.5⭐️ I will devour a villainous FMC every time. I really enjoyed the magic in this book. Im a sucker for books with different types of magical affinities. Our MMC is a shadow daddy which is a super plus. I love the murder mystery vibes of this book. The spice was absolutely fantastic! The audiobook was phenomenal and really made me love the book even more.

great video acting but this book was..

Has a lot of potential, but it really needs to have more emotion language. Felt like an early draft... I don't think i would have liked it if I didn't listen to the audio book. The spicy scenes felt very surface level.

Perfect blend of Fantasy and Romance

I absolutely devoured this book. The narration was perfect and I couldn’t put it down!

Stunning!

I’m immediately listening to this again. What an amazing cast, performance, and storyline. So happy I finally bit the bullet on this one. Bravo!!
