Dysphoria: A Spicy Fae and Dragon-Shifter Romantasy (Circus of Souls) by Eliza Benner

"OH MY GOD. Easily a 6-star read. The way my jaw was on the floor at the end.If you need/want a book that is going to absolutely rip out your heart, THIS IS THE ONE. Beautifully written with some of the most incredible, descriptive world building I've ever had the pleasure to read. Eliza Benner has crafted, once again, an absolute work of art. And the spice? Oh, it was SPICING.- Goodreads Reviewer "Daddy Cairos (MMC) forever has me in a chokehold. He’s hotter and more protective than ever. Naevyn (FMC) is more relatable than ever. I could not put this book down. " - Goodreads Reviewer The king is trapped. The chaos should be over. So why does everything feel like it's just beginning? With Valthaeron sealed away and the rebellion finally breathing, Naevyn thought she'd earned a moment to rest, grieve, and figure out who she is in this new life. But her mother has been imprisoned in shadowstone for six hundred years, and the longer Orlia stays bound to Valthaeron's trapped soul, the weaker she becomes. Now Naevyn is hunting answers in the last place she expected: the domain of the true dragons. With faction lines fracturing and old loyalties curdling into something dangerous, Naevyn can't afford to trust anyone. Except maybe Cairos, who has decided that if he has to suffer, so does she. And he's very, very good at making her suffer. But the deeper they go, the more Naevyn realizes that saving her mother might demand a price she never saw coming. She gave her blood to stop Valthaeron. What this world wants from her next is so much worse. Spice Level: 3.5 Read more
