Ahhh! I loved this. More of Red and Octavia? Yes, please, sign me up! This is a short and spicy novella that’s set before House of Crimson Hearts but I would highly recommend you read House of Crimson Hearts first, before this one. There is another short and spicy novella set in this world called House of Crimson Spice, I would read that once you’ve completed the series!
I tandem read this with the audio, that is amazingly recorded by Ruby Roe herself! You can purchase this on her website 😍 she did an amazing job! Loved every second.

Written in first person with 2x POV’s. Vampire/Hunter. 3x Spicy Scenes.

I just realized there were two short stories/novellas associated with this series that I’d never read. This is three very sexy scenes and it was nice revisiting Octavia and Red. Octavia is one of my favorite sapphic characters.

Since I listened to these books on audio, I imagined their voices as being what I’m familiar with. Especially Allie Rose’s voice for Octavia. Delicious.

“She smiles, and I swear the entire night sky twinkles.”

“I shall give you the city, the world, anything you ask for. And my everlasting love.”

I absolutely loved the sapphic intimacy shared between Red and Octavia. It was refreshing to see their connection portrayed through a tender and affectionate lens, especially in contrast to the rage Red grapples with in other books. Octavia’s decision to cast herself as the villain to protect Red’s mindset added a heartbreaking depth to their dynamic, making their earlier moments of sweetness even more poignant.

A short, sweet, spicy prologue to help understand the characters of Red and Octavia, prior to all the craziness of the main series.
It is best read after the first book, and really gives a softer view of their romance, and also, as is usual with Ruby Roe, a nice shot of sapphic spice to go along with it!
And this one is narrated by the author, too, which gives it an extra bit of oompfh!

"what if I want to keep you forever?"
Her eyes are soft. She picks up my hand and kisses each knuckle in turn. "One day, when you ask me and you truly mean that, I shall give you the city, the world, anything you ask for. And my everlasting love."


I want their relationship so bad!!! Before all the trauma omggggg

Absolute 5⭐ if you've already read the books, it's meant to be read before the series but I think it's enjoyed better if you already know and love the characters.
Ruby Roe sure knows how to write delicious sapphic fantasy

Great little prequel Nouvella that gave some back story to the two main FMC's.
It cleared up some little points that were made in the 1st book, but I wouldn't say it was a 'must read' as I don't think you lose any plot points, but a "nice to have".

[Heydi Martinez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Meh… just a few chapters of sex scenes and moments in their past life before book 1. 40 pages and easy to finish. As of right now, don’t know if it’s a needed book to read.

[Lauren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ugh! I read all of the novellas out of order, but damn they are still so good.

It makes me want more of Octavia and Red.
