Lilith's Legacy #2
Blood from the Marrow: a sapphic paranormal romance
They found forever. Now forever is under siege.
Elena, Zuri, and Marisol have survived betrayal and found a love more powerful than they ever imagined. Then comes an invitation that plunges them into the opulent but treacherous world of vampire high society where every smile shows a little fang.
When political intrigue turns deadly, Elena will have to fight to protect everyone she loves. But there are more than just vampire rivals to vanquish. A ghost from Marisol’s past returns with a shattering Marisol isn’t the last of her kind, but they are being hunted into extinction.
With enemies closing in and ancient betrayals resurfacing, the throuple's bond is tested to the limit. To survive the coming war, they must forge a new army from distrustful vampires, powerful witches, and the scattered Aglion.
To fail is to die. And the only way to win is together.
Blood from the Marrow is the explosive and deeply emotional conclusion to the Lilith’s Legacy duology. It’s a paranormal sapphic romance packed with epic battles, searing passion, and the unbreakable power of a love worth fighting for.

About the author
J.J. Arias
36 books1,231 followersHello! And thank you for finding me!
I am an independent author writing about fictional lesbians of all varieties.
My writing journey began with fan faction, and as much as I LOVED being part of a community of super fans, I got tired of working with other people’s characters to tell my stories. I started asking myself: Why should we string together pieces of subtext when our community deserves well-developed main-text about LBGT people and those who love them! So, that is what I aim to deliver.
If you want to know a little more about me personally, J.J. Arias is my pen name. I do have a day job, and due to the industry I’m in, I can’t write under my given name. Although who knows, maybe one day I can write full-time and come out of the … office? I am a Scorpio woman (I know, I know, but I’m a nice one I PROMISE) happily married to a uniquely wonderful Cancer lady. Together we have several fur babies of the feline and canine varieties.
So, here I am, and I hope you enjoy my writing! I’m very open to thoughts, comments, critiques, and knock-knock jokes, so please feel free to message me with any of the above – or anything else you would like to say!

I liked this a lot. Part two of a duology, and I can say that each novel holds up on their own as well as together. This book got a lot more of the plot whereas the previous one got a lot more of the relationship (and spice). I am rounding up to get to this rating as there were several elements to this novel that didn’t quite land right for me, but the overall package was definitely a good one. I would recommend this duology.
One brilliant thing about this novel: it starts with a summary of the previous one. Incredible! I think every series needs to take a note of this because it was wonderful!
I liked the continuation of the worldbuilding as this is a neat little world the author created. Not always perfectly making sense to me, but it’s a solid showing none the less. I like how magic works, and the different supernaturals that were present (though I was surprised there wasn’t more variety to be honest). I liked the storyline, even if it wandered a bit and took a full book to get to the main point (hah!).
The romance was solid. I loved the way the three protagonist were all equally involved in their relationship without a hierarchy and how much genuine love and care they had for each other. Having two people to sandwich you in a hug sounds great after a long day to be honest. As does having two people to gang up on you to call you on your bullshit when you are being dumb, though it probably wouldn’t be enjoyable in the moment. The romance was the highlight of the novel for me!
The plotline and action parts were “fine”. I don’t think this is the authors strong point, though they are far improved compared to the other vampire series they wrote back in 2019. It honestly reminded me a lot of reading the Twilight series in the sense that you can tell what kinds of scenes the author is stronger with and which they are not (in both cases its stronger romance and weaker action).
I will also say that I found myself (and one of my read-along buddies) getting confused with the number of different names and how many of them were similar. Not a big deal, but enough that I had to double check who-was-who a few times and got slightly confused.

They bonk a little too often. The hurt/comfort is real. The action is a 80s movie. The villain is a 80s movie. The happy end is Fan fiction worthy. I love it. Never want to go on that emotional rollercoaster again.

Books about supernatural beings not really my favourite type of books but for some special authors like J.J. Arias I make an exception and read whatever they write since I know it will be good regardless of genre. I devoured the first book in h the Lilith’s Legacy duology in January and did of course start to read Blood from the Marrow the very day it was published. This 2nd and final book in the duology did not disappoint. You get the whole committed throuple part developed even further, the Aglion mystery revealed gradually and a new big threat, Sayah, they must fight to survive.
This book is another hit by the author and a must read if you love a combination of steam and action.

I love my little witch, vampire, angel throuple.
J.J. Arias books are where I am at my most indulgent. The romance is at exponential levels of all consuming devotion and you know what? I eat it up.

Best written sapphic story of vampires, witches, and more I have ever read
This author knows how to write her characters in a believable, human way. She knows how to have enough action without it turning into pages of describing every move, she knows how to turn things steamy without it sounding like self-fulfilling purple prose. The connection the main characters share is amazing and takes in the depth of each character's flaws along with their strengths. I don't mean flaws like "doesn't know how pretty she is" or some flakey flaw like "is an asshole to everyone except those she loves". Real flaws that they have to work through, and do not totally solve, but get better with by the end. This is a series that well represents the 21st century ideals of how love works.
THANK YOU J.J. Arias for this very well-written story. This is the standard that sapphic romance should have.

While not without flaws (at least in its current state), this second and final entry in the duology is a massive improvement over the first book. Despite being the longer of the two novels, the pacing is significantly improved and the narrative flows better. Whereas the first book often seemed to decide at random whether a chapter would go for fantasy worldbuilding, smutty romance, or supernatural mafia action movie, Blood from the Marrow manages to combine these directions into one coherent whole.
The villain is an improvement as well: in a rather bizarre move, For Love and Blood and Fury introduced its main antagonist in the final act, only to so quickly get rid of him that both the reader and the protagonists were left wondering whether that was really it. Blood from the Marrow, on the other hand, introduces its villain early on. This time around, the antagonist is more or less a vampire Bond villain set on world domination, and while that is as cheesy as it sounds, it’s also a really fun concept for an antagonist, making every scene in which she appears a delight.
I found the writing much better this time around, although Arias still tends to overuse certain phrases (pretty much every character is described as having “dark eyes”). While I can excuse this, what really annoyed me were the frequent errors that seem to affect nearly every aspect of the book. Spelling mistakes and punctuation and formatting errors can be ignored relatively easily, but there are so many sentences that are just outright missing words that it can affect the reading flow. Even worse are the instances in which Arias mixes up words, and for example writes “vampires” when she actually means witches. I started reading the Kindle Unlimited version the day it released, so hopefully some of these errors will be fixed for the print release. In the novel’s current state, these errors are frequent enough that they should be addressed through some sort of update to the ebook version. It’s a bit baffling that no one caught these mistakes prior to release, and it makes me hope that perhaps the author can recruit some loyal fans as beta readers for her next book.
Slight lack of polish aside, this is a really fun mixture of supernatural thriller and love story. The three protagonists are still as witty and likable the second time around, and all the weaker aspects of the first book have seen dramatic improvement. If “sapphic poly vampire romance” sounds like something you’d enjoy, definitely give this duology a try.

Warning potential spoilers 😭: I read the first book so I was really excited to read this one and see what happens to the trio…. I’ll say I enjoyed the concept of this book just like I enjoyed the poly relationship since their aren’t to many poly books or poly supernatural books. I still love the characters and can say lib’s and Sofia are definitely two of my favorite.
Here’s the thing.. this book was basically just like the first one it was all about Elena and her cartel of vampires having issues with another cartel and having to join forces with other groups of supernaturals to fight. Elena spent the first 5-6 chapters feeling sorry for herself and pushing everyone away while zuri and Marisol took the reins. If you remember how the first book ends you’d assume this book would be more about the Aglion (the angels) and Marisol since you leave off with her mother finding her and saying she’s in danger. But no you get the first 5-6 chapters of the book talking about the Aglion then they pretty much are none existent until it’s time to prepare for war which even then they don’t come back till maybe chapter 30-35ish. You find out they are being hunted but like I said that isn’t talked about since chapter 6 or 7 the rest of the book is all about Elena and her coming war and everybody preparing… you jump ahead into chapters 39-40 the war is over and now you meet a small group that is supposedly a part of a large group hunting the Aglion. This fight is cutdown to not even a whole chapter but maybe the last 3 pages of a chapter and it’s over. Then everybody moves on even though they were presented with the fact that there are more hunters out there the book is basically over. I would have rather the book have been all about the Aglion than for the author to rush their story into the final pages of the book like she forgot and just had to hurry and work it in there. Not to mention Elena, zuri and Marisol’s relationship had more moments where it seemed to be more about Elena and zuri while Marisol was an after thought. So many tender sweet moments between those two that Marisol walked in on and was hesitant about ruining their moment together which made sense because she was almost always left out of those moments and she barely had any with Elena to being with. I was hoping to see maybe a 3rd book coming or in the works but if this is the last book it honestly just doesn’t fit but I would recommend giving it a read and deciding for yourself.

like if The Battle of the Five Armies was preceded by a whole bunch of threesomes
continuing on from For Love And Blood And Fury, the scale of the fantasy is amped way up in this book. from a bunch of stinky MRA vampires hiding in a swamp to a full on big fantasy climax war scene. the urban fantasy in general stands up better on its own this book, though Sayah and her crew do still end up feeling a bit flat as antagonists. there's a lot of work setting up Elena's coalition of magical weirdos and then Sayah just rocks up at the end with a whole bunch of vampires and rushes them
the work was done establishing the throuple in the first book so Elena, Zuri, and Marisol find themselves kind of running in place romantically - there's no real developments to be had, just a lot of fucking and intense declarations of love and a very cool wedding. that being said, the spice scenes are once again very good. I assume people read this book for a vampire, a witch, and an angel having varied, creative, and intense sexual intercourse
also I am apparently on a sapphic vampire kick today. I might be judging this book a little harshly because it's not my favourite vampire media of all time - read Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. and read Blood from the Marrow as well. there's a lot of stuff worth reading

Blood From the Marrow is outstanding. The story picks up about six months after For Love and Blood and Fury, and from the very first scene, the suspense hits hard and never lets up, not until the very last page.
The looming war brings so much intensity, and pairing that with the tender, emotional moments between our main characters makes this book truly incredible. I loved getting to learn more not only about them, but also about Lib and Sophia adds so much depth to the story. And the new characters? They really enrich the sense of community that plays such an important role throughout the book.
My favorite part of this story is watching the relationship between Elena, Zuri, and Marisol deepen. The quiet moments of vulnerability each of them shows are emotional, sweet, and genuinely profound. These fiercely independent women allow themselves to lean on one another, forming this powerful, unshakable trio, and it’s honestly breathtaking to witness. The dialogue in these scenes is so heartfelt that more than once, I found myself tearing up. It’s a beautifully emotional and captivating read, one I know I’ll come back to again and again.

Story: excellent.
Characters: excellent.
Spice: excellent.
Fight scenes: strategically dubious in places?
Editing: a few errors.
I love that this duology shows an incredibly strong vampire at her weakest points of existence. Her two (non-vampire) girlfriends taking care of her and fighting for her was a poignant way to allow their thruple relationship to develop as equals. They're also just sweet as heck together. It's rare to read about a thruple, rarer to read about a loving thruple (rather than pure spice), and mythical to read about a committed thruple after the initial HEA. J.J. Arias could write 12 more books about their relationship without it ever getting dull.
The action scenes made me frown a bit. There were a couple of places in the story where characters with a lot of combat experience ignored a very obvious advantage or danger. I shouldn't be smarter than a centuries-old vampire.
There were a few minor editing errors (eg. "filed" instead of "filled") but they didn't detract from the story.

Though I enjoy all of J.J. Arias’ work, this book (and the duology) has to be one of my favorites. Her writing is so exquisitely rich, and the story had me in tears in many places, and occasionally laughing out loud. It’s gripping, emotional, full of non-stop action; spicy, and humorous in all the right places. All of the characters are so complex, and the developing relationships among them are beautiful and so real. Just an overall beautiful and powerful story in so many ways. Best of all, the author actually wrote a summary of the first book in the front of this one, after I’d mentioned to her at a book festival that it would be helpful in a complex series like this! I read a LOT of books, and I’m so grateful not to have to go back and reread the prior books to remember what has happened. Other authors were not so receptive to this idea, but J.J. did it. If you like paranormal action with spice and romance, I highly recommend this book. What a ride!
October 20, 2025
I like that the book includes a summary of the first one. Nice touch.
Elena, Zuri and Marsol are together, but dealing with the aftermath of one of Elena's people betraying her. As well, Zuri wants to start a new covenant, but needs a certain type of rare artifact.
Marisol is shocked to be contacted by Clara, the woman who abandoned her as a baby. She claims she left her for her own protection as SOMETHING is hunting them. Marisol doesn't believe her, but is uneasy.
Attending a vampire celebration, Elena learns she's been betrayed. Again.
I do kinda of feel the villain reveal was a bit meh. Maybe it should have been set up more?
Elena, Zuri and Marisol assemble their allies, big fight, bad guy beaten.
3.75 out of 5.

OMG 😆
I would have finished this book a lot sooner but I kept having to take cold showers after each chapter 😂. JJ is such a great writer-I read everything that she writes! I’m kinda sad that this series is only 2 books but I have my fingers crossed for something that shows Marisol, Zuri and Elena further in the future! Get this book! And if you haven’t read book 1, get that then get this ! 5 🌶️ and 5 🌟

Absolutely Superb 🔥🔥🔥
This fitting ending to a captivating series left me wanting a Book 3. I love the dynamic love story between Elena/Zuri/Marisol. The binding of souls was interesting and believable. The storyline kept me guessing about Sayah’s death. The buildup of character depth was amazing. I devoured the history of the Aglion and Lilith. Well done JJ - another masterpiece!

The fight for love
J.J. Arias has pulled Elena, Zuri, and Marisol together, found a rag tag team of vampire, witches, and Aglion, prepared to do whatever necessary to do so they could keep loving each other - forever. Despite the vampire who wants to kill the all in a war for supremacy.
There is passion, excitement, lust, and adventure. Start it and you will be compelled to finish. It was amazing and I will definitely keep this as a favorite and one to reread.

Ive been waiting fir this sequel and JJ did not disappoint. It was equally as good as the first. I dont want to give away any spoilers so just enjoy we all know JJ is a sure thing 😉

This was…not as good as I wanted it to be.
The plot seemed to just sort of disappear behind the love story, and even that was a little underwhelming.
A lot of the ‘action’ was glossed over and I found myself disconnected from the characters I loved completely in the first book.
I think if I wasn’t invested in the trio I would’ve DNF’d it. It lacked the depth I loved in the first book.

So good. So so good. These will definitely be bookshelf trophies. I’m usually not a fan of polyamory in my books but this is done so well that it absolutely works. I can’t decide which character I love more but Zuri might have my heart just a little more than the other two. The spice is spicy and the action is great…definitely a read again for me.

**3.5 stars**
the last 10% got messy in a way where a third book sounded very possible, and i’m still not entirely sure how i feel about that after having finished the book and thinking on it. had the pacing been just a little different, the ending could’ve been done really well. this was a bit of a letdown in terms of a conclusion. 3

Excellent read!
The second book to this series was better than the first. And I loved the first one! I’ve read everything JJ has written and the paranormal storyline was so interesting. Getting to know secondary characters better in this book was a great experience. Well written and the ending was just as it should have been.

Awesome
Book 2 does not disappoint! It crowns book 1 with more complexity, love, spice, and gut wrenching action. Then it settles everything with an epilogue that leaves the reader smiling inside and out. Love it.

incredible
An amazing series. An epic ending. I could re read this series all over again right now. I love JJs novels but this duology is hands down my favorite. This is what true polyamory looks like (ya know, with a side of the supernatural). You won’t be disappointed!!

The second book in the series is just as good as the first if not even better. I loved all the coming together of the different races and how well it all worked out in the end. A very entertaining and incredible read.

This one was just as good as the first.
I always enjoy a good J.J. Arias book. Elena deserves all the love in the world for how she takes care of her ladies. I will say I wasn’t expecting the twist in the end. That one took me by surprise.

Just wow
The second entry in the duology and I can't even put it into words
It made me shout at characters, cry together with their pain and loss and just live in their world myself
