Thank you Valentine PR for the gifted ebook copy and for having me on the tour

RESONANCE – Ketley Allison (Releasing April 23rd, 2026)

Now available for download and on Kindle Unlimited!

Book Description:

I did two things I can’t take I raised my cat from the dead, and I killed the boy who saw me do it.

Necromancy is forbidden. Erased from history. The kind of magic that gets you hunted by the Academy’s best, Elite Soulren who’ve spent decades killing anything that threatens their power.

Falcen Reaves finds me, anyway. He’s cursed, ruthless, and supposed to drag me to the Academy to be broken or destroyed like every other late awakener before me.

Instead, he keeps me alive. Trains me. Watches me with a cruelty that feels like hunger. Because my power isn’t normal. There’s something inside me, ancient, violent, and growing stronger every time I consume a soul.

It recognizes him. His curse. The darkness he’s drowning in. And gods help me, I want him despite it all.

Every training session becomes more dangerous. His control is slipping. So is mine. We’re bound by a curse neither of us understands, a pull between souls that shouldn’t exist, and a hunger that matches violence for violence.

He’s my captor. My teacher. The only person who knows what I am. And the bond between us might kill us both.

Resonance is a dark romantasy drenched in soul-magic, deadly trials, and a love forged in blood and Void. Perfect for fans of morally gray heroes and heroines who refuse to be broken.

My Thoughts: 5/5 stars

This was my introduction to Ketley Allison and holy crap, where has this author been all of my life? AND this is the beginning of a new series? Consider me hooked and anxious for book two. I’m warning you now, the ending of this book. That cliffhanger is KILLING ME. How can it be left like that and then we have to wait for book two?? Needless to say, RESONANCE had me in a chokehold from start to finish and I highly recommend this if you like some fantasy with your dark romance. While I’m not a fan of romatanasy in general, I think it’s more up my alley when it’s into the darker side of the genre.

Necromancy, magic, curses, monsters, the Academy, violence, and two people caught in the middle. Verily falls into the hands of Falcen and she knows immediately that he isn’t there to save her but to capture and keep her. She was such a great character. Strong and curious about her new abilities and never crosses into the stubborn and frustrating FMC we sometimes get in these books. Falcen is the morally gray MMC you want and come to love. The power between these two jumps off the page and you can feel the tension. The twists in this book. I don’t think I could have guessed where things were going even if I tried. I can’t recommend this enough and as always with dark romance, I recommend checking out the content warnings.
