A Soul to Keep: Duskwalker Brides: Book One
By: Opal Reyne
Monster Scale
Level 05: Advanced Monsterfuckery
Y’know Elias from Ancient Magus’ Bride? He’s basically that.
My Overall Rating For The Book
“I Bought The Book/Series And Want Them Signed Please Holy Shit”
I started reading this book with no expectations or knowledge and oh boy that was fun! This feels basically like a post apocalyptic DemonSlayer/Ancient Magus’ Bride, so if you like those shows you’ll probably like this too because it leans into those heavily. Tons of fun, highly recommend it.
Overly Simplified Summary
Reia is being offered up as bride/sacrifice to a Duskwalker, some kind of demon who can walk in the daylight while other demons can’t. He takes her as his bride and the two begin to live together in his little cabin in the woods. Will she catch feelings?
If you like Ancient Magus Bride you are absolutely going to get a kick out of this.
Keep reading for ‘This Book Has Everything’ and possible Trigger Warnings.

What part do you think Robotus will play in Part 2? He better be fucking ok.
If Rand so much as look in his direction I'm gonna start SWINGING
tbh there's a lot of options??
there's definitely a,, Redemption Arc going on, what with him helping The Gang out in eps 2, 4, 10.
so tbh!! I'm hoping he gets a Big Moral Decision!!
Like he gets the chance to destroy the world and he ends up not taking it bc,, he's gotten attached to humans??? OUGHE <333333
I KNOW they aren't gonna want to speedrun his arc, it's probably gonna be a while until he's Reformed but UGHHHH
<333 THE CLIMAX TO HIS ARC IS GONNA DO THINGS TO MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY I JUST KNOW IT.
OVERALL I think he's gonna be,, mostly intel for the group??
Previously he was constantly looking through security logs + cams so I could definitely see him,,,,, doing some subterfuge to help The Gang undermine Rand!!
In terms of misc stuff? like vague Silly Hopes I Have??? Silly Goofery?
Something homosexual in me Requires an IHNMAIMS reference. Even if it's just a microcosm, like him taking over the Cognito Inc Building and trapping everyone inside.
I don't know why I don't know where I just need this man to have his A.M Hate Monologue Moment. It would either fix him or make him worse.
Brett giving him a nickname. He'll hate it at first and slowly warm up to it,,, and I will burst into tears
overall just. Gang interactions with AB <333333 please it will fix me.
I NEED him and Robo-Reagan to meet
Two Infinitely Intelligent Robots with massive egos teaming up with the goal of taking over the world? oh BABY these two are gonna be at eachothers throat in 5 minutes and it will be everything.
*GRIPS THE WRITERS* LET HIM SEE THE SUN
please I know I talk about this all the time but. He Has Never Seen The Sun Please Let Him See The Sun With His Own Two Eyes Please Please Please Ple
Another thing I've been thinking about is how. Reagan's lab is shown to have a SHIT ton of A.B parts in ep one, all behind glass containers. Enough to make,,,,,, several more of him,,,,
..... LISTEN Rand is absolutely petty enough to. make his Own A.B as like,, a personal enforcer around Cognito. He's absolutely the kind of shitweasel to steal his Daughter's work for his own benefit
TLDR I miss my wife Part 2 cannot come soon enough
