Dreadful (Tattered Curtain #3) by Greer Rivers
Unrated

A dark, modern, romantic retelling of Sweeney Todd with a Medusa twist and a happy ever after.

Their revenge is sweet… their love is unhinged.

Fifteen years ago, a girl sacrificed her life for mine. I’ve wanted only justice ever since.

Then Talia entered the stage.

I’m the barber’s son. The Boss' nephew. A prince without a throne and only revenge to fuel me.

She’s the bakers’ granddaughter. Sweet Tallie. Their dolce nipotina. My vipera.

My desires have always stopped at vengeance. She’s made me want more. But my vendetta will destroy everything in my path, and I won’t risk bringing her into my world.

I never suspected she’d snake her way in on her own.

I craved a bite of her sugar and spice, but my little vipera is fangs and venom.

Now all I want is to be bitten.

DREADFUL is a dark, revenge mafia retelling of Sweeney Todd, Hamlet, and Medusa, set in modern-day Boston and a complete STANDALONE in the Tattered Curtain Series. Guaranteed HEA. This story has triggers so please check the author's website for trigger warnings.

Greer Rivers

Greer Rivers

Greer Rivers is a storyteller with a knack for creating gripping, emotionally charged romances that linger long after the last page is turned. With a deep love for the darker side of human nature, she crafts stories that combine heart-stopping suspense with passion, redemption, and the occasional touch of danger. Her writing takes readers into worlds where love isn’t just a sweet escape—it’s often tangled with mystery, tension, and the rawest of emotions.

Raised in a small town where everyone knew everyone else’s business, Greer’s sense of intrigue was shaped early on by the stories of her neighbors—stories of heartache, triumph, and secrets. It wasn’t long before she started weaving her own tales, using her imagination to explore the complexities of relationships and the shadows that sometimes follow them.

Greer’s books, including titles like Phantom and Dreadful, often feature strong, resilient characters caught in high-stakes situations. She has a talent for creating female protagonists who are both fierce and vulnerable, and her male characters? Well, they often come with a dark side that readers can’t help but be drawn to. Whether it’s a mafia romance, a second-chance love story, or a tale of psychological suspense, Greer’s writing is never short on intensity.

When she’s not writing, you’ll find Greer indulging in her guilty pleasures—scary movies (but only during the daytime), reality TV, and spending time with her husband and their three furbabies. A self-proclaimed messy eater and lover of good wine, she believes that the best stories, like the best meals, are meant to be savored.

As a #1 Amazon bestselling author, Greer’s work has gained a loyal following, with fans praising her ability to craft passionate, suspenseful stories that keep them on the edge of their seats. She loves connecting with readers through her social media, offering glimpses of her writing process and sometimes even sharing behind-the-scenes moments from her life.

Greer’s unique blend of Southern charm, suspense, and unforgettable romance continues to captivate readers, offering an escape into a world where every turn could bring love, danger, or a revelation that changes everything. If you're looking for a book that will make you feel, think, and keep you guessing, you’ve come to the right place.
