“I was about to fall in love with a woman that had all of the power to destroy me.”
“Do it, with my money, my name, whatever you want to do. I want you to plan it all.”
“Her beauty was undeniable, almost spellbinding.”

Thank you to the author for an E-ARC!

Please check content warnings before diving into this story!

I really enjoyed this a lot, and I was hooked / interesting from the very first page! I flew through this story because it not only captured / held my attention the entire time but the way the author was able to tell a story with loveable characters! I like the aspect of the Salem Witch Trials surrounding one of the themes / atmosphere surrounding the story, the way the author was able to intersect different fantasy realms into modern society was so cool and very easy to follow! There were a few twist and turns within the story line which made it even more intriguing because there were even more layers than we as the reader even thought!!! The drama was there, the plot was there, the spice was there!

Anghel’s character / his growth through the story was extremely wild (in a good way.) I love how he did not waste anytime and already knew he was attracted , and liked Celeste and didn’t waste anytime expressing it! As for the information that is slowly revealed surrounding his character was extremely wild and I had no clue / did not guess it at all! It made his character even more entertaining and just as hot!!!

Celeste, ohh a curvy Black woman!! Yesss she was everything and more! I loved how determined she was and always defended herself no matter what! I really liked how her character had a lot of interconnected themes with certain past experiences, the way the author was able to intertwine that was well done!

Also I’m assuming a book 2 is coming? I’d like to see one with Casey and Jackson!!!

The only critique I have is that I wish we got to see more vampire scenes/ more vampire references in the day to day life of the vampire characters!

Tropes:
slow burn
fake dating
billionaire mmc
second chance
age gap
vampires & ghosts & witches

Please welcome an up-and-coming indie author that you don't want to miss! This will be a favorite read, so go ahead and prepare yourself now! This book has a little bit of everything and will be an absolute hit for people who enjoy all types of genres. Like Disney, there is something in here for everyone.

Celeste. Oh my Celeste, how I love thee let me count the ways. I love women who take what they want and don't let their current circumstances dictate how their forever will look. Celeste is a prime example of a woman who could have let life keep her down, but instead, she continued to reach for the next step and pulled herself up time and again. Her friendship with Casey has its moments, but these are two women who choose each other day after day no matter the cost. I love their interactions and the stark differences between the women. One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Celeste asks Casey for help on what to say back to Anghel. I don't want to spoil anything, but it will make you think of your own best friend who would react the same way.

Anghel is a mouth-wateringly gorgeous, centuries-old vampire who has more money than the United States Mint. His character growth through the book is incredible and I love a man that will listen to the women in his life and now just blow them off. He is both morally gray and a complete gentleman who does not take what is not offered. This is not to say that he won't push the envelope to get what he wants, but he will not cross the line.

In true me form, I love the main characters but my goodness do I want more of those secondary characters. If you don't love Jackson and his golden retriever/jack russell terrier energy I'm not sure you read the right book. There is a scene where he finds chips in Anghel's office and I fell in love at that moment, I don't know why but it was just so adorable I needed more of him. I was on the fence about Casey but I came around to her. I like the way her character is written I think it was my own distrust of women friends that made me think she was going to backstab at any given point.

I highly recommend this book, it was a fun read and one that I could not put down! I will be recommending it to anyone who likes:

* Badass curvey, black FMC
* Vampires
* Morally Grey MMC
* Found Family
* He Falls First
* Contemporary Romance
* Fantasy Elements
* Page Turners

Snatch up your copy and enjoy! Happy Reading!!

Eternal Echoes by Ophelia Reign

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

This was my first book by Ophelia Reign and it CERTAINLY won’t be the last! I started following Ophelia on threads then Instagram because she is HILARIOUS and I ended up purchasing her whole backlog. I started with this book since it is a standalone vampire paranormal romance and I really enjoyed it!!

Celeste is such a well written FMC and I absolutely LOVED her. She stands up for what she believes in, she perservers when life hits her while she is down, and she is hilarious. I also love that she’s a plus sized black woman. Anghel experiences so much character growth in this book for his 500+ year old vampire self. He certainly needed some therapy but I’m glad he got his HEA.

I really appreciated how this book addressed some macros and micro aggressions with racism. I’m very interested in Casey and Jackson’s potential story in a future book.

[lacie.reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was intrigued from the first pages of Eternal Echoes. I believe the story had so much potential but ultimately just fell flat. There were historical and mythological inconsistencies throughout the story. For example, the story says that in 1554 they relocated to “The States” which is not even close to accurate. Then there were moments where the vampire had blood running through his veins and then other moments when he didn’t. It just felt very inconsistent. I also didn’t like that the FMC spoke poorly of her plus sized body and made body-shaming comparisons between herself and her thin best friend.

There were pieces that I think the author felt were explained but translated poorly to me as a reader. I also didn’t feel the romantic spark between the two main protagonists because they fought throughout most of the book.

As I stated before, the story had a lot of potential but the execution felt unpolished/unfinished.

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️

I really enjoyed this book. I don’t normally read paranormal romance so this was different for me. But I already knew I enjoyed Ophelia’s writing style so I wanted to read this book.

This book was damn good for being my first read of the year!!

I loved Anghel and Celeste. I loved that he grew so quickly to love her as herself and not the wife he used to have that she reminded him of. I love that her being plus size didn’t mean anything different to him. I liked that Celeste had a few insecurities but that it wasn’t so over the top that it was a major part of the plot. This book gives major billionaire obsessed MMC vibes. Also fake dating which is one of my faves!!

I feel like we didn’t dig into their love story as much as we could have. But there was so much else going on so it would’ve been hard to do that and also keep the book from being too long. I just could’ve used a touch more romance and getting in depth on them being in love. At first I didn’t even think Celeste was going to love him she was so resistant. Then they had those 3 months together but we don’t really get the detail of their time together where they are so in love. So I think because of that when the third act breakup came I wasn’t as heartbroken.

Spice is 1 🌶️ because it’s a lot more steam and slow burn build up than open door spice. I was pissed about the cockblocking ghost wife. IYKYK. 🤣

"I like that I make you happy, Celeste, because I’ve never been happier with another woman." ~ Anghel

Maybe I was never meant to be happy.  Maybe I was destined to live with the eternal echoes of what could've been—the greatest love I would ever know, lost to time and lies. ~ Anghel

"I want you to stay. I want you to be with me. It's desperate and stupid, but I don't care. Without you, I feel like I'm not me. I feel like I have lost more than I am willing to part with. I know you have told me over and over again that you love me, and I kept telling you not to because I was afraid. I love you so fucking much, Anghel." ~ Celeste

Tropes: Billionaire romance, Obsessed MMC, he falls first, fake dating, spicy/sassy FMC, Plus size FMC, paranormal romance, vampires, ghosts, witches, third act breakup.

A genre-bending masterpiece! I read this in one day! That’s how good it was.

Thank you to the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

In Eternal Echoes we follow Celeste a very real FMC, with so much personality and character, but she was so realistic in the fact that she had her own insecurities that she works through. And we follow Anghel a 500 year-old vampire who runs into Celeste and she reminds him that he had 500 years ago, who died a tragic death.

I say this is a genre, bending masterpiece because it felt like I was reading a contemporary romance at the very beginning, but the author ties in the fantasy and paranormal genre elements in so well that it didn’t feel like I read two different books. It just flowed so nicely. I got a lot more invested in the characters and I thought I would even side characters. I love Jackson who is basically Anghel’s best friend whether he wants admit it or not and Casey who is Celeste’s best friend

This is the right way to do a romance with smut and plot. It’s very hard nowadays to come across a romance or romantasy book that can include smart, fantastical elements and plot and succeed in all three categories. But this one right here did it.

I do, however, believe that towards the end, there were a lot of typos or punctuation mistakes that should be edited before the book is officially published. But other than that, this was an amazing read and definitely helped me get out of my reading slump. What a great way to end 2024.

‼️e-ARC REVIEW‼️

My goodness, this book made me feel seen and loved and appreciated.

I love this kind of love that leaves you feeling so empty as a reader. I cried because of the way he loved loving her.

I felt every emotion and insecurity that Celeste felt. The constant feeling that someone is judging you for the way you look cut me deep in my soul.

I needed to breathe for a while before writing this review. I'm feeling a lot more better knowing that out there, there's a girl getting the kind of love she deserves.

Anghael is the type of man every girl needs, I don't mind the fangs. The queen treatment he gave Celeste left me feeling touch deprived. I want that love that he gave her. That level of understanding, appreciation and respect is hard to come by and I loved every moment of it.

@opheliareigns you did something with this book and the world better notice it.

[Brave]

I tried to get past the editing issues, the continuity errors, and the formatting stuff, but I ultimately just kept getting ripped out of the story from those things. I try really hard not to dock indie authors, ESPECIALLY indie authors of color, for this type of thing, but I am also autistic and one of those unfortunate people who reads every single word on the page. I simply couldn't push through the story right now. The story is super interesting, so if you are a better person/less picky than I am, I DO recommend it!!!!

[tatisbookshelf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Where do i start? This was a beautiful reflective story that touched on grieving pasts, trauma, insecurities & overcoming it all. I liked how this story had dual POVs and also how it started out in the past to give background. I definitely felt so seen & validated through reading this. All of my insecurities were touched on in this book & it allowed me to really connect w the FMC. i love a good book that involves vampires, ghosts, witches.. anything supernatural. I definitely had a little teary eyed moment with a certain scene & the FMC being made the aggressor. Story of my life. Idk this book was relatable which made it super easy for me to become hooked onto it. I loved it❤️‍🔥

*there are some darker themes in this book so make sure you check the trigger warnings*
personal preference: i thought this was on the lighter side & felt comfort reading this! regardless know your boundaries & protect your peace🫶🏾

[Cydney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Here's the thing: Eternal Echoes is a lot of fun (in the first half) if you don't try to keep track of what's going on. This is a fun, unique take on vampires and witches and places both in a contemporary context that felt realistic for the most part. However, there are some continuity issues here: the states didn't exist during the time that Anghel claimed to migrate there, the way modern people were descendants of people from 500 years ago felt muddled, especially at the end when "Celeste" is revealed, and I truly didn't understand how Anghel sustained himself in terms of feeding when he did so very inconsistently. If Celeste in the 1500s was meant to be Romanian, how likely is it that she also would've been Black?

I didn't like how Celeste was written at allllll. She is self-deprecating to the point that it was offensive to read and also made me roll my eyes. She was constantly saying she was so fat and unattractive and fat, fat, fat, and not conventionally attractive, and fat. Like sister, enough, omg?! Ease off my girl Celeste?! At the same time, she was telling Anghel he couldn't be mad if people flirted with her because men did so often, but she also said more than once that men didn't ~see her~ or treat her well, so it was conflicting and inconsistent. Casey was also insufferable and she went through this phase of being drunk and making bad decisions with zero explanation. Jackson wasn't as charming as he thought he was BUT he served as comedic relief a bit and he was a great friend to Anghel which is more than I can say to Casey, who basically looks at Celeste like she's her mother which felt…troubling. Jamie could have been developed so much better; she was such an interesting character who felt wasted being an assistant.

Even still, I really liked the book until Anghel and Celeste began to fake date because the circumstances didn't make sense. They also didn't have the best chemistry; Anghel just wanted her because of who he thought she was, and she wanted him because…I still don't know why. But she went from berating him for every little thing to suddenly being a girlboss who uses his money for good and when he told her he loved her she didn't say it back, when he proposed, it took her seven times to say yes like…girl do you even like him?

The end really went off the rails for me and just became too convoluted to keep track of. I didn't really understand the witch bloodline plot but listen. This was fun! Idc.

I think this could've used some more editing in terms of typos and continuity, BUT I also can't deny that I still had a lot of fun and I think Ophelia Reign is an entertaining storyteller. I'm excited to read more by her and always appreciate reading about Black people in paranormal situations.

Eternal Echoes is a captivating stand-alone romantasy that blends love, immortality, and a touch of the supernatural. The story begins in 1554, in Salem, Massachusetts, where readers are introduced to Anghel Mikhail. At this point, he’s a hardworking husband eagerly awaiting the birth of his first child. But everything changes when a mob bursts into their home and accuses his wife, Celeste, of witchcraft. Celeste is burned at the stake, and in her final moments, she curses Anghel with immortality. In a fit of rage, Anghel kills most of the townspeople who stood by and watched his wife perish. What Anghel doesn't know is that Celeste was actually a witch, and in her last act, she transforms him into a vampire.

Fast forward 470 years, and Anghel now leads a successful life as a lawyer in Boston. He takes on a case at his firm, only to discover that his client, a woman named Celeste, bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife. As he becomes drawn to her, Anghel is left wondering whether his attraction is based on the woman herself or merely because she looks like the woman he lost centuries ago.

Celeste is a bold, curvy Black woman with a vibrant personality and unshakable determination. Though she’s immediately attracted to Anghel, she doubts he could ever feel the same for her. Their interactions are filled with playful banter, and as the story unfolds, Anghel begins to realize that his feelings for Celeste are genuine—not just a reflection of his past.

The book takes readers on an emotional rollercoaster, with an unexpected twist that leaves a lasting impact. Overall, Eternal Echoes is a beautifully written tale that combines romance, suspense, and an unforgettable journey through time. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

OK so what I meant when I said it melded the genres in a different type of way. It almost felt like I was getting two separate books , first half seemed super contemporary. You know, lawyer doing lawyer things and stalking his love interest. Super casual. And then that second half of the book is like a rollercoaster of twists and surprises in the supernatural sense! I personally haven’t read anything quite like it in that way.

As much as I loved our main characters (still drooling over Anghel) I ABSOLUTELY ADORED our side characters. Casey is a spitfire best friend and is the perfect kick in the butt that Celeste needs in her life. Jackson feel is just a lovable cinnamon roll that brings out the inner softy in Anghel.

While the romance may be a bit of a slow burn, the story itself was pretty fast pace. Something was always happening that had me saying “ok just one more chapter!”

While this definitely had some darker themes and situations, it was still a really comfortable read. I think that’s in part because of how the characters are written and how they react to things.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. I was surprised at SEVERAL moments. The ending had me teary eyed. The spice was definitely spicy. The characters were all lovable and desirable. I hope to see more of this world.

Anghel is a gorgeous, centuries-old vampire Billionaire lawyer . His character growth through the book was so good . He is both morally grey and a complete gentleman. I love how he was obsessed with her from first look, and did what it takes to get what he wants, but also did not cross the line.
But my favourite was Jackson. His golden retriever energy and flrity comments won my heart. He was so adorable.

Eternal Echoes by Ophelia Reign is a paranormal romance involving a centuries old vampire and a modern woman who may or may not be the reincarnation of his deceased wife. Ms. Reign layers her story with a variety of plot elements, some of which work better than others. Vampire Anghel has lived centuries and amassed a fortune; he currently works as a lawyer and has a found family with his assistant, Jamie, and his best friend Jackson. Of the relationships detailed in the story, the one Anghel has with Jackson is the most natural and fulfilling. Anghel is shaken when he takes on Celeste as a client, she closely resembles his wife, and he is drawn to her instantly. Celeste was the one true discordant note in the story; she had low self-esteem on one hand and was needlessly aggravating on the other. As Anghel and Celeste get closer, distractions and complications arise from enemies, new and old. I enjoyed Ms. Reign’s overall writing style even though I found new Celeste and old Celeste to both be annoying. 3.75 rounded to 4.

Author Ophelia Reign will capture readers' attention in the first chapter of “Eternal Echoes.” She will bring you into a world where witches are burned at the stake and vampires are cursed to seek revenge on those who wronged them. From there, we are brought to the present, where Anghel, a vampire who is a wealthy attorney, meets a client who looks identical to his wife and bears the same name, who was burned at the stake 470 years prior. Many other similarities and coincidences are brought on Celeste’s end as well. But things are not that easy between the two. There’s conflict, angst, and overall messiness from outside sources.

I love the concept of past lives and reincarnation. I liked how Ophelia wrote “Eternal Echoes” and made it unique, pulling themes of the witch trials, vampires, the supernatural, religious entities, and the afterlife into the story. It still had some lightheartedness, too, with the dynamics between Celeste and Anghel written as well as it was. I enjoyed reading “Eternal Echoes” and look forward to reading other books by this author.

Eternal Echoes had me hooked from the first chapter.
Anghel as been through so much and my heart broke for him everytime he talked about his past and how he became a vampire.
I can relate to Celetse so much because I see myself in her. I love how strong she is how she stands up for herself.
The plot turned out to be so much more complex than I expected and fit in so perfect. I'm so glad they both finally got their HEA. They both deserved it after everything they have been through alone and together ♥️

Anghel lost his beloved wife Celeste when she was burned at the stake as a witch. Cursed to roam the earth seeking revenge, Anghel is not only a vampire but a successful attorney in modern-day Boston. When he meets his next client, he is shocked to find a woman who looks incredibly like his long dead love.

But this Celeste has battles of her own - including a legal fight that will ruin her should she lose it. While she finds Anghel attractive, she most definitely doesn't have a problem calling him out on his Imperious behavior.

I despise silly FMCs, who lose their brain cells the moment they clap eyes on the MMC, and Celeste is the opposite. She is strong, determined, and has a healthy sense of self.

Anghel may have been around a long time but he still has some character growth to do. I loved the side characters and can't wait for their turn!

[Mave Hathaway · Rating 4 out of 5]

Eternal Echoes by Ophelia Reigns is a vampire romance that took a whole new spin on vampires. I walked into this book expecting the dark and dangerous vampire that I am used to seeing in paranormal romance but that isnt what we get.
Celeste is a sassy human just trying to survive while she keeps getting the short end of the stick. Anghel is a man turned monster living the monotony of immortality one day at a time.
Reigns adds in witches, ghosts and the fascination of multiple generations of families. The side characters are kick ass the main characters are kick ass. I can not wait to read more from her!!

[Weekend Reader_ · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you like Dracula, Eternal Echoes follows the storyline with a bit of a twist. Anghel's pain of losing his wife Celeste drives him to centuries full of hate, but everything isn't as it seems. There are lots of twists and turns, and it's a bit more than a straight-up retelling.

One thing that felt a bit wonky was some of the continuity of the storyline. There were flashbacks from previous lives but even when we were in the present the timeline jumped around a lot. And you'll have to ignore the typos. But I do think there was a good deal of character work to consider things like grief, rage, how women were/are treated by the church and I think the most important theme of providing a redemption arc to the "villain".

This book instantlyyyy had me hooked. I absolutely loved the Salem Witch Trials aspect to it as well as it being a paranormal romance. It added a creepy aspect to it that had me genuinely spooked at times 😅 Anghel is a sweetheart, and I loved that he was instantly immersed in Celeste and didn’t beat around the bush with his attraction towards her. This book will have your gears turning and always has something interesting going on! I do wish we got to see more romance between the two MC’s, it felt more like a paranormal book with romance sprinkled in (which is still my jam- and if it’s yours too I think you’ll like this one!).

I had the honor of reading this as an ARC and I feel so bad that it’s taken me until release day which was the 30th but I had to learn how to use my whispersync. Now….the opening in this is going to trigger some people. There are scenes that are hard to swallow but the core of the story is love. A love that goes on for centuries and letting go to find something new. I loved this so much and I really hope this reaches more people. Also I appreciate the fact that it’s not super spicy but when it does get spicy it gets spicy.

This book is a lovely little romance between an ancient “monster” and a modern woman. Anghel and Celeste couldn’t be more diametrically opposed, a headstrong woman deep in advocacy clashes with a rich being hell bent on revenge and protecting what he covets most. Though their chemistry is undeniable, their lives are from comfortable, and you will be enthralled as they wrestle against the problems of their past. Truly a moving romance about healing and love, and being there for the ones we love.

What a beautiful love story! The representation in this book is phenomenal. Celeste is the perfect fiery, strong, thick amazing FMC that thinks she can't find love. Anghel is the perfect broody vampire MMC that thinks love isn't something he can have. I was hooked from the very first chapter and was rooting for the Characters throughout. I wanted to scream at both of them a few times but they came to their senses. Thrilling, beautiful and emotional ride.

The idea of loving someone through time and reincarnation is so beautiful! Ophelia captures that essence with Anghel and Celeste. The angst - my favorite part - kept me reading until the end. Will they? Won’t they? I was scouring through the pages. Jamie was hilarious! I think he deserves his own book of adventures.

This book was a perfect balance of humor and slow burn angst!

This was not it. Okay starting with the characters. Celeste was an awful FMC she was both sensitive and abrasive, the worst kind of mixture. Anghel was just lame, he was described as having an intimidating demeanor but it just gave weirdo most times. I’m really disappointed with the storyline of old Celeste. This could have been elevated and made into a more interesting background. I guess I wanted it to have a more complex paranormal feel but it just missed the mark severely.

This book was a new take on a vampire story. It included so much more than I was expecting; Reincarnation, ghost, curses. But it was a beautifully written story. The main FMC being a plus sized black girl was a plus. You never see them getting the hot rich vampire
