From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes the second book in the devilishly steamy Seasons of Carnage trilogy where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense—and where love is ripe for ruin.
It’s time to reap what you sow.
Cape Carnage is blooming with secrets, and they’re ready to harvest. But every time Nolan Rhodes digs one up, another grows in its place. Harper isn’t who he thought she was. Arthur might be more sinister than he first thought. And Sheriff Yates? The man is everywhere he turns. When true crime fanatics descend on the town looking for answers about the death of their leader, Nolan finds himself at the center of a search and rescue operation for missing people he knows are already dead. Cape Carnage teeters on the brink of chaos. And the harder Nolan tries to keep it together, the closer Harper comes to unraveling.
Harper Starling has risked everything to bury her trauma in Cape Carnage. But now that Nolan has unearthed her past, her whole life seems ready to break apart. And who can she trust? The enigmatic man she’s falling in love with? He came to kill her. The serial killer mentor she’s vowed to protect? He’s become an unpredictable menace. The woman in the mirror? She might be the most dangerous of all.
Loyalties are tested. Bonds are bent to a breaking point. And love? That might be the deadliest trap of all.
Harvest Season is a dark romance with mature themes. Please check content warnings at the beginning of the book.
Tropes
Small-town romance / Fish out of water / Grumpy/Grumpy / Forced proximity / He falls first / Touch her/him and die / Villain x Villain / Brat/brat tamer

3.5 stars rounded up for the audio and the diabolical ending????
This was fun and hot which is EXACTLY what I want from a dark rom-com😌 Not a perfect book but very entertaining as are all of this author's books. I think Brynne just excels at this niche because there's always a good balance of humor and spice and darkness for me.
If it's been a while since you've read book one, I would recommend a refresher😅 I had to go back and reread the last few chapters and epilogue just to remember what had happened because this picks up immediately after the end of book 1.
Anyways, will def read book 3 after that cruel ending💔

⭐️ 4.5 ⭐️ You reap what you sow. More carnage, more secrets, more lies. This book has VILLAINS written all over it. Nolan is such a lovesick puppy here. He’s jealous, possessive and honestly a cinnamon roll underneath that pent up tension. He will walk to the end of the earth for Harper. Their banter was too notch and overall this was a fun, hot, steamy time. Let's get into it!
Harvest Season picks up with the events of Tourist Season where Nolan knows Harpers darkest secrets, came there to kill her but ended up falling for her. Cape Carnage, the little strange murder town, holds many dark secrets and the love birds just can't stay low. As more true-crime sleuth-mongers and enthusiasts come to the town for answers, more and more people go missing. Well whose fault is that? Meanwhile, Sheriff Yates begins to poke around and ask questions. He's not exactly the quiet, meek, lazy sheriff, is he now? He's growing increasingly suspicious, manipulative and distrustful. As Nolan and Harper race for answers, their romance deepens considerably. The relationship literally blooms and this attraction turns into obsession. Its hot, sexy, emotionally damaging.
The mystery and suspense has escalated by a whole threshold and there is no stopping them from letting all hell break loose. Nolan and Harper were the dynamic duo here. I LOVED their energy, their chemistry and their banter. Brynne Weaver did not dissapoint when it came to emotional stakes and depth. I loved how their chemistry and partnership developed in this book amidst all the crazy murder-sprees and manipulation that they faced. They each carried emotional baggage and past trauma and despite everything thrown at them, they became so overly devoted to each other. It was one of my favorite parts of the story.
Nolan (especially!!!) left me swooning. He is such a love sick puppy for Harper, its not even funny. He is loyal, tender, open with her. Their conversations were engaging, emotional, heartfelt. There was absolutely ZERO miscommunication between them. They both brought on so much tension and yearning, I couldn't get enough of them!
Harpers devotion not only to Nolan but to Arthur played a major role in this book. With Arthurs significant decline, we see how hard Harper is struggling with the possibility of losing the person she has considered a father figure. Arthur, our aging serial killer, added another layer of emotional weight. I think his scenes were bittersweet and heartbreaking. His character arc was well written and Alzheimers portrayal was accurate. It was sad to see him decline and lose many of his memories and begin to forget Harper. I'm sure his character arc will bring many tears to those who have seen what Alzheimers could do to a loved one. *Sobbing*
The biggest surprise was La Plume. I suspected for a while who it was but I was not expecting the threatening manipulation, twisted turn of events and how the novel ended. This cliffhanger left me gasping! I say, this book is better than Tourist Season and I can't wait to dive into the third book next year.
Its going to be one good Hunting Season!

Okay, I loved this, but the last 20% of the book was a roller coaster of emotions.. I honestly feel sick to my stomach, ending the book on that note is one of the meanest things an author has ever done to me, I need book three to come tomorrow, that ending was criminal...
The progression of the relationship between Harper and Nolan was so good, the forced proximity, the notes, the coffee, the vulnerability, the comfort, the understanding, the fierce protection, the jealousy, the topiaries, the dance, the connection.. That scene at the dance is one of my favourite scenes ever!! We love a man that's so down bad he would do anything for her!!
The ending though, I'm not forgiving that ending..
The pace was a little slower at times, but I liked that, we got some much needed progress, they opened up to each and started building the trust and the love. We still got some murder, the pretty murder bird, the annoying Sleutseekers, Yates being Yates, some Search and Rescue operations and of course some heat... We also got some pretty emotional scenes with Arthur and we got to meet someone who stole Lukas's heart.
Adding several chapters from the POV of Damian was a great addition, even do I hate that man with the burning passion. I hope he dies a really slow and painful death.
I seriously need book three now, I can't wait a whole year, I'm so unwell.. I'm suing Brynne for the emotional damage that ending caused me..

I know I'm late to reading this, but life got in the way.. Tourist Season was one of my favourite reads last year, so my expectations are very high!!

He’s a serial killer but also THE BEST BOYFRIEND ever 🔪♥️ Why so hot if scary! We love a man who has no sense when it comes to his KILLER girl!
“Fuck me like I’m unbreakable…but try anyway.” WILD QUOTE!
Harper & Nolan continue to navigate their intense relationship that I branded SCARY LOVE! He’s the hottest & most protective boyfriend but Harper still thinks he might kill her & that makes her even more WHET 💦 *couldn’t be me but go off queen* 💦 but in reality this man is so down bad for her!!! Nolan tries to navigate Harper’s new found identity & the guilty that he almost lost her to his own stupidity ♥️♥️ Intense smut, newfound feelings & sprinkle of unresolved trauma!
I just love how incredibly filthy these two are! This smut is full of dirty talk & dark desires sprinkled with brat taming and pain play. Who knew FEAR & SMUT blended together so well! The more they kill the harder they bone…
🔪 he’s a Dom but she has all the control!
🔪 THEY FIND BLISS IN DARKNESS
🔪 covering up murder with even MORE MURDER is the only real solution *troubling*
🔪 when he kills for her...again & again
THE PLOT was infuriatingly PLOTTING! ♥️ We know who the real villain is now and the way La Plume is pitting the couple against each other is a mastery of its own. I kept screaming “you are in danger!” while the two just kept sexing it up. This was genuinely such a fast read for me because the fear of what came next had me at the edge of my seat. Classic flavour of Weaver’s unhinged MURDER Daddy SMUT!
JESUS what a cliffhanger!!! SCREAMING into the abyss!! Even better & much much higher stakes than Book 1!!

Well, damn. This is a disappointing sequel, to put it mildly. 80% of it is pointless filler. The combination of darkness, detail, charm, heart, and humor that made 'Tourist Season' so popular, are barely there. Published less than a year after book one, it's obvious that quality was sacrificed for speed.
'Harvest Season' opens by addressing the relationship cliffhanger from 'Tourist Season'. And there is absolutely no weight to how this is done.
The majority of book one, was based on a huge secret the FMC was hiding, particularly from the MMC. It's reasonable to expect that book two would give some time and care to the emotional consequences of this secret coming to light.
Nope. It's blazed right past. Blink, and you've missed it. Harper and Nolan have one cursory, shallow conversation, and boom, problem solved. Whaaaaat the hell?
With no transition period at all, suddenly they're deeply 'in love'. Despite knowing very little about each other, after maybe a month since they met. It's flimsy and absurd.
The dynamic between them, is no longer an enjoyable read. Bad communication, irrational choices, and behaviors that don't align with their personalities in 'Tourist Season'.
When they're not fighting and/or making unbearably stupid decisions, they're having a bunch of poorly written sex as a substitute for character development.
Spicy scenes have always been the weakest part of Brynne Weaver's writing, and that's especially true in this book. Passionless, pretentious, and trite, with painfully stilted dialogue.
The rest of the story is immediately and almost entirely focused on what soon becomes a very tedious, uneventful crime novel and nothing more.
No more relatable, gradual relationship building. No more carefully crafted details of the quirky town. No more witty conversations during amusingly grisly moments.
The one good element, is the sub-plot of dealing with Alzheimer's disease in an elderly loved-one. It's the only time anything in this book is authentic, emotional, or believable.
Every other aspect of 'Harvest Season' feels like a dull, cheaply produced, predictable murder documentary. It ends on another cliffhanger, but the characters, setting, and plot have become so drab, unpleasant, and empty, it's really hard to care what happens next.

Freakin’ Loved it!!! Okay, I’m just going to say this right off the bat….DO NOT READ THIS BOOK UNTIL YOU READ BOOK 1 FIRST!! It will not hit the same and I need you to feel what I’m feeling right now!!! Apparently I’m into sexy dark humor romcoms, with kink and gore 🤷🏽♀️ I didn’t know. I’m loving this series so much! By book 2 the characters are so well developed I’m emotionally tied to them and I’m seriously Jonesing for Book 3 because we got left on a very serious cliffhanger 😳 I was all ready to play Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing and then BOOM!!! Sh@t got real dark and twisted!
This is high end top shelf storytelling right here with awesome dialogue!!! Read book 1 then add this little gem and enjoy the ride! I’m in shambles right now and for that I say…..Well Done, Thank You Very Much!!!!

i have to be totally honest, i had no idea how Weaver was going to build off the first book because there didn't seem to be any natural direction for the story to take. but oh, ye of little faith, don't you know to trust the great Brynne Weaver by now??
what a fun little rollercoaster this was. the beginning was so calm and everything was under control, the middle had a little bit of a buildup, and then everything just fucking blew up in my face. even as i'm writing this review, i'm still in a state of shock.
Harper was just as good as she was in the last book, and at this point, she is definitely my favorite Brynne Weaver fmc. like how could you not adore her? i'm really excited to see where the hell her story ends up because i genuinely have no clue what the next book holds for her. Nolan? still insane and still morally grey, but also a changed man. his little arc from obsessed as in "i'm going to ruin your life just as you ruined mine" to obsessed as in "i would end the world for you" was very fun to read. and the villain, oooh my god. if you read my review of Tourist Season, you'll know i had some issues with how early the villain was revealed. but holy shit, i should never have questioned. we, the readers, know who the villain is but our main characters don't know, and it just creates this perfect tension throughout the whole book. all the moments of me screaming "TRUST YOUR GUT, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG" at Nolan were for naught. it worked so well in the grand scheme of things because it made everything blowing up in my face that much more impactful.
i do have to say though, the constant murdering and getting away with it, especially in such a small town, is getting less and less believable. i know i have taken issue with this before and i know it's not real and i know that there are circumstances around why none of our favorite serial killers are getting caught. but it's getting super convenient for our main characters to be able to murder at will in broad daylight and not a single camera or person catches them. BUT... if i have learned anything, it's to have faith in Brynne Weaver and just not worry about it.
i'm really excited to see where the fuck this story goes in the final book of the series. i have been thrown for a loop and i still have not recovered and i need answers. as soon as humanly possibly, please.

This could’ve been an email.
I get that we needed to tie up loose ends so there wouldn’t be any plot holes. We needed this book to make the romance believable and to set up the ending. We also needed it to move the plot forward and build toward that cliffhanger that I saw coming from a mile away. But this book didn’t pick up until the 80% mark. Even though all of that was technically necessary, it felt unnecessarily long and boring, and not even the audiobook could save it.
*The FMC*
She was an annoying little bitch, and it felt like she learned absolutely nothing from the last book. Having this book felt pointless because there was 0 character growth. In the first book, I overlooked it because I was feeling the vibes, but in this one, I genuinely couldn’t stand her.
*The cliffhanger*
Did someone say cliffhanger? I loathe them. Especially this one. But whatever.
My biggest issue with this book is that it needed to be cut in half. This series should have been a duology at most. I’m honestly very disappointed. I love Brynne Weaver’s books, and I think she is amazing at writing standalones, but this just wasn’t it.

encore une fois encore, Brynne Weaver m'a convaincue.
Dans ce deuxième tome, encore plus de secrets, de mensonges. Impossible de savoir à qui se fier. C’était tellement addictif ! J'ai adoré retrouver la plume de Brynne Weaver : incisive, drôle et fluide !
Entre Harper et Nolan, encore rien de sûr .. Ils sont attirés l'un par l'autre, mais chaque révélation vient remettre en question ce qu'ils croyaient savoir.
Et encore de nombreux rebondissements dans ce tome ! J’ai tellement hâte de découvrir le tome 3 !
Seul petit bémol pour moi : parfois des scènes de smuts un peu trop « dirty talk » à mon goût !

This is a filler book.
A bland filler book.

I’ve been highly anticipating this release since I’ve finished the first book in this trilogy a few months ago, and it was definitely worth the wait! I loved seeing all of the characters from the first book come back and seeing their relationships and character development throughout this book. I truly do love the mystery aspect that’s woven throughout the story and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. And the spice?! Lord have mercy. This book is definitely a lot spicier than the first one. Also, the ending was actually insane and the fact that I have to wait a year now to read the third book is atrocious because I want to know what happens. I definitely recommend the series. Just read the trigger warnings before going in.
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

3.5 ⭐️’s This was definitely a filler book with not much plot , but I enjoyed everything second of it 🙂↕️ this was exactly what I needed after my last read and it delivered!!
I will say not much happens til the last 20% which made up everything for me!! That ending!! I love how suspenseful the storyline got and I’m surprised it was intriguing after the first book! Something’s were pretty obvious like who La Plume was and poor Nolan!!! 🥲 I need him to get Harper and gtfo out of Cape Carange after that ending 😭
I need book 3 asap!!

Buckle up book besties !! It’s time to go back to Cape Carnage 🦈 🔪 🩸 🌶️
Brynne did it again. Am I surprised? Not in the slightest 🤭
Harvest season was such a great follow up to Tourist season.
The chemistry between Harper & Nolan was even hotter in HS and I freaking loved that! The banter between them also did not disappoint. I just love them together 🥹
Another thing that I really loved is that we got LaPlume’s pov ! It’s like we got an inside scoop of everything he was doing but it also drove me insane at the same time because we got to know things our dear main characters didn’t and I just wanted to let them know everything but unfortunately I was helpless :(
The ending was criminal 😱 but it’s fine because I loveeee it when books ends on cliffhangers that completely break my heart. It just makes me even more excited for the next book☺️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Thank you so much Zando/slowburn for the ARC ❤️ I am so grateful 🫶🏼

Okay, so Brynne basically decided to sacrifice Harper’s intelligence and common sense in order to stretch what could have been a duology into a trilogy. By the end, I wanted to kill Harper myself for being so dumb 😭
That said, my FOMO will not allow me to leave this story unfinished, so I will in fact be reading the next book. Hopefully it will be better since it seems like it will be more action packed. ✨Hopefully✨
I have nothing bad to say about Nolan, except that he deserves WAY better.

Après avoir dévoré le tome 1, je n’attendais plus qu’une chose : découvrir la suite. Et quel plaisir de retrouver Harper et Nolan et de retourner à Cape Carnage !
Comme pour le premier tome, c’est une histoire qui se dévore. J’avais sans cesse envie de découvrir ce que le prochain chapitre me réservait.
Brynne Weaver a une plume que j’adore. Elle arrive toujours à me plonger dans ses histoires complètement loufoques, et qu’est-ce qu’elles sont addictives et mystérieuses !
J’adore me laisser surprendre par les révélations, et une fois de plus, les secrets sont nombreux dans la ville de Cape Carnage et ne nous laissent aucun moment de répit.
Dans ce tome 2, la relation entre Nolan et Harper évolue encore plus et qu’est-ce que j’aime les voir ensemble ! Leur alchimie est dingue.
Nolan Rhodes… mais quel homme ! J’adore son côté protecteur envers Harper. Lui qui était initialement venu pour la tuer est désormais prêt à réduire le monde en cendres pour elle.
J’ai beaucoup aimé voir Harper essayer de gérer ses sentiments par rapport à Nolan et j’ai adoré la façon dont l’autrice les a fait évoluer.
C’est le genre de livre qui te donne envie de lire toute la nuit et qui te laisse sans voix à la fin !
Vivement la sortie du tome 3, j’ai déjà hâte de les retrouver et de voir le final que Brynne Weaver nous réserve.
Livre contenant des TW et réservé à un public majeur ! ⚠️

It's a cliffhanger. I hate it. You have been warned.
This book had spicy bits, but the majority of it dragged. The characters feel dumber. The emotional bits don't feel earned. Not worth it.

I really went back and forth with this review. I thought this was going to be the book that wrapped everything up nicely after the way the first book ended, leaving us with so much anticipation. Instead, I was left with even more frustrating unanswered questions.
There were characters who got under my skin and moments where I was ready to throw my book across the room. Yet at the same time, I couldn't stop reading. Should I give it 1 star because of how frustrated it made me? Or should I give it 5 stars because I was so invested in the plot and these characters?
What I do know is that I enjoyed reading about the absolute chaos and insane situations these characters found themselves in. Frustrating? Absolutely. Entertaining? Also yes.

BRYNNE WEAVER WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??????
This book. Oh my goodness, this book. So things are going well, annoying people getting murdered, etc. You know, business as usual in Cape Carnage. LOVING the dynamic between Harper and Nolan. Everything was going well...too well.
When I tell you the plot twist KILLED me, I mean dead, on the ground, dead. So needless to say, I loved this book. But now the wait begins and the agony of that.
This series has been phenomenal and this book is just piling on with how good it is.
Easy five stars (six if I had them).

3.5⭐️
Overall, I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first one. It was definitely longer than it needed to be. Plot wise, it did not really expand much on the first book and instead focused on the background manipulation of the main characters and Harper and Nolan trying not to get caught. Because of that, parts of the story felt like they dragged.
The ending, especially the last 10%, was frustrating. I was not a fan of the cliffhanger, and I was disappointed with how Harper was written toward the end of the book, particularly considering how her relationship with Nolan had developed through the book. It made the cliffhanger feel a little weak to me.
I still enjoyed the book and the series overall. I think Brynne shines most with the Ruinous Love trilogy, and that is probably because those books are interconnected standalones. This series being one story stretched across three books makes it feel like it may be dragging things out more than necessary.
