Soucouyant: A Gothic Romance Kindle Edition
For centuries, Adrian never cared whom he killed to feed his hunger. When the love of his life was taken from him, he gave up hope after he believed the ritual to bring her back failed. Lost to his grief and bloodlust, fearing he would never see her again, he intentionally sought out victims who reminded him of her, Aroa. That is, until she calls out to him nine hundred years later, new and reborn. The only she has no memories of the life and devotion stolen from them.
Adrian’s willing to do whatever it takes to see her again, to taste her, to touch her, but he must first prove he is worthy of being her one true love again. And more important, he must keep her hidden from the King of the Fallen Ones.
Karmin
When Karmin was growing up, her nana filled her with stories of Caribbean folklore and superstition, but Karmin never believed in any of it. Not even when an alluring darkness with a deep and familiar voice calls out to her in her dreams. After Nana’s funeral, that belief is challenged when a stranger enters Karmin’s life, yet she feels like she’s seen him before. Could this be the man calling out to her? The man her soul seems to already know? Or has something darker attached itself to her?
Unexplained encounters, spiritual warnings, and an unbreakable connection indicate Adrian is more than he seems. A dark angel sent to punish her for what she has done, or redeem her?
She should run from him, sparing her sanity and soul, but she’s ready to follow her heart, which may lead to anguish…or even retribution.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2024This book? It's like a liquid. Smooth. Hot. Icy. Tantalizing and I am not just talking about the spicy scenes (there could have been more. tbf, there's a LOT of story, though). I'm talking JUSTICE. So, soooooooo very satisfying. And Dracula's humor was hilarious. I loved how she wrote him.
This book's got everything. Rich plot. Intriguing, layered characters. Beautiful world building. Spice! Yummy spice. Best of all, delicious revenge.
Ah, it was a true delight. I loved it. Please write more. And fast.
-A New Fan :)

- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2024Wow, what a beautifully haunting tale!
This story follows Adrian and Karmin (formerly Valentine and Aroa), whose love has endured through centuries and death. Hundreds of years ago, Aroa was meant to marry Valentine’s father, but love led them to tragedy, with Aroa killed and Valentine making a devastating deal with the "devil" to become one of the Fallen Ones. Now reincarnated as Karmin, she’s plagued by her grandmother’s spirit, dark entities, and memories of her past life with Adrian.
Delani Monroe weaves a dark, gothic world filled with intrigue, love, and sacrifice. It’s a story where true love literally transcends time.
The ending is absolutely satisfying and beautiful! If you love gothic romance, this one is for you!
Fave Quotes:
"I burned my whole kingdom to the ground for Aroa—you."
"I’m learning life is not linear, but a tangle of string crossing over itself multiple times at different points."
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2024this was such a beautiful and tearful read. i love myself a good vampire romance and this certainly delivered !!
if you’re a fan of vampire romances, past lovers, reincarnation, castle, “the invitation” movie vibes, a down bad possessive and unhinged mmc, smart and curious fmc, vampire x mortal, secrets, spirits, psychological twists, gothic vibes … this is definitely for you !!
when adrian lost the love of his life aroa, because of his father all those years ago, he is hellbent on finding anyone who resembled aroa’s features just to spend one night with them. he lost himself in the process and became a force to be reckoned with. he is ruthless. he is unhinged. when one night he felt a pull that led him to karmin. he saw that she is his long lost lover’s reincarnation and did everything he just had to have her. he begins to stalk her for a couple years and learns everything he can about her. although there were some differences in karmin, he knew it was aroa and he will stop at nothing to let her memories seep in.
when karmin first met adrian, she felt something unexplainable pulling her towards him. she didn’t know what to make of it. even after all those years have passed, she still couldn’t get the man behind the mask off her mind. when she was given the opportunity to do research about her family at his castle, of course she jumped at the chance ! who wouldn’t ? she begins to dig deeper into where her family came from. one night, she finds out about who and what adrian really is yet she still believes he is not the monster people say he is. she sees the good in him. she’s sees it in the way he treats her.
the last couple of chapters absolutely had me in a chokehold !! i was crying so much i just wanted to be with adrian and karmin forever !!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2024What an absolute feast of a book! I devoured it within a day. From the very first chapter, I was drawn like a moth to a flame. It was so enticing and not overly theatrical.
"She's mine, and I don't take lightly to those who wish to harm what belongs to me."
Adrian is everything you want and need in a vampire (soucouyant) prince and Karmin is every bit of a beautiful, badass woman. There were humorous bits, especially with her best friend myah, that made me laugh out loud.
"I love you. I would climb a volcano and dive into a sea of magma before ever thinking of harming you."
I've always loved the concept of reincarnation and multiple lives, and this tale fulfilled all of that. The amount of patience and love that Adrian has to wait for Karmin to remember and love him; it's absolutely astonishing and the definition of eternal love.
There were a few spooky aspects that I really liked thrown in there. Nothing freakier than someone's skin melting off of them when you thought it was your lover (iykyk) 🫣
All-in-all, this was a BEAUTIFUL Gothic romance novel, and I'm adding it to my "to read again" shelf. 🖤
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2024Are you a fan of gothic vibes? How about vampire romance, tales of reincarnated lovers, or a Dracula retelling with a Caribbean twist? If any of these sound like your kind of read, DO NOT SLEEP on this one. 😮💨
The way I devoured (wink, wink) this book was unreal. I loved the characters and just did NOT want to stop. Karmin’s strength of character and sassy personality had me hooked from the start. Not to mention Adrian’s devotion and obsession with being reunited with his tragically murdered soul mate of centuries past. From there, this story unwound faster and faster until the haunting spins finally revealed the king’s sinister plot that had been seeping through the entire tale. My favorite part was definitely Karmin stepping into her power and purpose with unwavering bravery and poise. (A close second was the ending, though. I got so choked up at seeing such a beautiful twist of fate!) This instantly became a spooky season reread to be enjoyed every fall, like the delicacy it is.
