Rubem and Tavish were polar opposites, but I think that’s why they worked so well together, and it certainly made their relationship more exciting. Although I enjoyed them all, one of my personal favourites was Sheona, because she was so fierce, loyal, and undeniably badass! The sort of person that you would always want in your corner, that you could trust with your life, which Tavish very clearly did. There was a real mix of characters to the story, and a huge amount of personality. This is one of my favourite aspects about all of their books because you are completely taken away from the real world and submerged in to a whole new one that you couldn’t imagine in your wildest dreams. The parasite is slowly taking over, and Rubem is slowly but surely losing their control.įrom the very beginning, this story has more of the beautiful world building that the author is so brilliant at.
The story starts with Rubem making their escape from Lilias, all while having a sentient parasite clinging to their neck.
Rubem features in Once Stolen, but is not a main focus in the story, so I couldn’t wait to learn more about them and for them to take centre stage. I was so excited to jump back in to the These Treacherous Tides series, and this time we get to hear Rubem’s story. As you can imagine, I had set my expectations very high for this one, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Bryn definitely became an auto buy author for me, but I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Odder Still in exchange for an honest review. After reading both Our Bloody Pearl ( review here) and Once Stolen ( review here), D.N. Odder Still was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022.
Each No-Man’s Lander book has a romantically fulfilling ending and a final HEA, with steamy thoughts and foreplay but no explicit sex. Odder Still is a M/M fantasy novel with a class-crossing slow burn romance, murderous intrigue, and a sassy parasite-human friendship in an underwater steampunk city. This book exist in the wider These Treacherous Tides universe, coming chronologically after Once Stolen, but it is the first book in the No-Man’s Lander series and is an easy entry point into the world. Here though, both the power-hungry rebels and the tight-gripped monopolies want to viciously dissect his parasite for its energy-producing abilities, and the only person offering him sincere help is the dashing and manipulative philanthropist selkie at the center of all the city’s chaos. Rubem is plenty happy keeping to his wine, his pets, and his extensive collection of fishnets.īut when a sentient parasite latches to his brainstem, he’s forced out of his comfortable-if lonesome-life in search of someone in the nearby underwater steampunk city who can safely remove it.
