“Beware of waking the gods, their dreams are often our nightmares ...”
A prince who prefers games of the head to those of the heart.
Prince Sloth hates leaving his enchanted library, but when a forgotten deity threatens the very fabric of the Underworld, he’s thrust into a race against time. He must find the Book of Nightmares—an ancient artifact that has the power to break worlds—before it unleashes a deadly game to free its master, the Goddess of Night. When a betrayal leaves him marked, and desperate, his path collides with a young woman who possesses the legendary Phoenix Tear—a portal stone unlike any other.
A librarian who is all sweet sunshine … until she burns.
Lore Brimstone has always loved getting lost in a book—but she never meant literally. Yet, after visiting a traveling caravan, she quickly finds herself transported to a terrifying but oddly familiar world—with the worst, twisted prince at her side. Realizing they are living out her favorite novels one by one, they face off against an increasingly dark magic as they try to survive the story.
A twisted tale that means they can’t trust themselves—or their hearts.
As Lore and Sloth navigate the pages of her beloved novels gone wrong, she must channel her inner main character to defeat the Book of Nightmares before the wall between the gods and mortals comes crashing down, dooming them all.

This book in itself was a entertaining read and a testament to booklovers. Yet there were too many bits that bothered me, that I simply can't overlook, because they sadly dulled my enjoyment. As a part of the princes of sin novella series, it started to worry me a little. In the greater scheme of things, some dialogues and facts just became more and more repetitive, and as a die hard Kerri Maniscalco fan, I don't say that lightly. The amount of times some lines and revelations have been repeated, paragraph after paragraph, drew out the story way too much. Up to the point where I started to skim over some passages, which I otherwise never do. Thinking about this book further, the princes of sin also start to feel more and more like the same character archetype, to the point where, except for their sin trait, they could all be interchangeable in these stories. Same goes for the female protagonists. The "she is a mortal but turns out to actually be a magical creature"- trope is slowly starting to feel overused in this bookseries. Which sparks a little too much annoyance. I was actually joyful at the prospect of Lore Brimstone just being a simple, human girl. Until it was revealed she wasn't and it kind of took the kick out of this story. Despite my musings though I still enjoyed it, but those doubts will now follow me throughout the last installments as well and I hope that Kerri Maniscalco can best them. Because I really love her books and the world she created.
