Audiobook Review | Serpentine Valentine

They would pay for what was done to me, but none more than good girl, Luna Pallas.

Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling is now LIVE!

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic dark academia Medusa retelling about a woman who was wronged by her idols and refused to pay the price without getting revenge…

I was born a woman.
Raised by women.
In love with women.
Until I enrolled at Acheron University, I’d never known much of men. I certainly didn’t know enough to fear them.
Then one stormy autumnal night, Professor Morgan tried to destroy me.
And when we were discovered by the university President, it was me who was punished for the unwanted seduction.
But they left me with two valuable lessons.
I would never let another woman be hurt by men again if I could help it.
And when someone hurts you, betrays you, and tries to rip out your soul, there is only one remedy for the pain.
Revenge.
And mine takes the form of the President’s very beautiful, very virginal, very straight daughter, Luna Pallas.
Before the end of term, I’ll destroy her innocence just as her mother and Professor Morgan destroyed mine.

I received an ALC/eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What an absolute treasure this book is. I honestly can’t wait to add it to my bookshelf already. This lyrical and poetic masterpiece had me almost instantly sucked into the story. Lex Gorgon and Luna Pallas I think will always hold a special place in my heart. These two are so strong, beautiful, confident, brave, and genuine. This book made me feel all of the things. I was happy, angry, frustrated, overjoyed, and definitely very anxious while reading. And it was all worth it. I’d absolutely love it if Giana wrote about the other three Gorgon sisters. I think that their stories would just be as powerful and moving as this one was. I had the immense pleasure of listening to this book on audio, which I am always eternally grateful for, and it was 110% worth it. Rose Dioro and Quinn Riley did such a fantastic job with these two characters. I thought they both fit these characters so well. Such powerful voices for two powerful main characters!

If I’m being honest, I don’t think there’s anything that I wouldn’t read by Giana Darling. Motorcycle romance? Absolutely. A sports romance? Sign me up. I’d even read a pamphlet on how to change a lightbulb, if she wrote one. The lyrical way that she tells her stories is absolutely addicting.

I honestly don’t think there’s much more I can say that would bring this book the justice that it so well deserves. This is absolutely going to be on my list of top reads of 2024!
