The Tiniest Death
Some encounters feel like destiny. Rarely, they feel like memory.
When twenty-one-year-old Twyla first meets the enigmatic Edric, it doesn’t feel like a first meeting at all. The pull between them is immediate—an unsettling familiarity. It’s as if their souls have met before… somewhere beyond the reach of time.
Edric carries a secret that has followed him for centuries—a burdensome curse that reignites every time he reaches his eighteenth birthday. He’s endlessly haunted by watching the woman he loves sink into the grave—again and again.
And where Edric goes, Twyla can’t help but follow. Her own innocence. Stepping into his path, an undeniable awakening brews in her bones as fate prepares to reclaim them both.
Twyla begins to unravel the past of the man she’s quickly fallen for. She discovers that their bond may stretch far beyond a single lifetime—and that the love growing between them could finally reveal the origin of the curse that whispers through the quiet stones of an ancient kirk.
Staying could cost her everything—including her life. Leaving may cost her just as much.
But some souls are bound so deeply in love that death itself cannot keep them from each other.

Wow!!!
Yvonne Avery doesn’t just write stories… she constructs doorways. From page one, The Tiniest Death pulled me in and never let go. The characters lingered long after the last page and the portal concept was haunting in the best possible way. Avery’s prose makes you stop mid-sentence just to sit with a line. Rare, addictive, unforgettable.

This book surprises me. I am not a huge fan of spicy romance books. But this one blew me away.
It has tastes of regular and spicy romance, time travel, mystery and danger, magic and adventure (fight) scenes, historical and contemporary settings, secrets… You name it, it’s in there.
It’s written in two POVs, but I very seldom had trouble figuring out which one each chapter was written in.
The descriptions were well done, I felt like I was in each place, and the clothing descriptions were just about perfect.
The pacing was spot on, taking this reader on am enjoyable roller coaster ride
The characters were well developed, different enough to distinguish them from one another, and there was no one in the story that didn’t have a reason to move the plot along. And the dialogue was fun, even the stuff in other languages a reader could determine the translation most of the time without any help.
The magic and time travel was tastefully done, nothing over the top, nothing in there to just be in there, it all made sense.
If you like something that is a little out there, something out of the norm, this is it. Like I said, I don’t usually like the romance stuff, but I couldn’t put this one down.

From the very first page, The Tiniest Death had its claws in me and refused to let go. This story lingers long after the final page, with characters that feel hauntingly real and impossible to forget.
The portal concept is beautifully eerie, weaving a sense of mystery that pulls you deeper with every chapter. Add in twists that genuinely catch you off guard, and you’ve got a book that keeps your heart racing and your mind spinning.
The author’s writing is utterly captivating, effortlessly drawing you in and holding you there until the very end. I loved every second of this journey—dark, emotional, and completely unforgettable.

I absolutely loved this book! It is my favorite of all Ms. Avery’s books!
She sucked my right in from the beginning. I couldn’t put it down.
I love the concept of a portal to another place. That would be cool if it was real.
