A Rune's Blood Moon
Prophecies of Old have been whispering. The Willow of Lore is waking. . .
Newly turned vampires are illegals unless proper documents are signed, and illegal vampires become dead vampires. To gain her citizenship and stay alive they said she has to attend the university all five years and graduate in order to go home. But vampires are not just hated by the Mage Board, they're hated by all. Especially the five celestials who know she's hiding secrets that could get them all killed.
All Mavyn Tsuki has to do is survive - for five years. Lucky for her she already survived seven years under the hand of a devil, so what's five years at some pompous school.
If only Prophecies of Old weren't whispering and there weren't secrets and curses and males who hate and need her, because five years is not a long time compared to immortals, and yet whole lifetimes can pass within them. Afterall, most students do not make it all the way to graduation at Syngenia University.

The book was great and I definitely will read the next. The mystery, the suspense I love it but to honest I’m also confused about the guys. I can’t keep them straight and the switch between first and last name is really bothering me in this book for some reason. I mostly just used context clues when I had no idea what guy she was speaking to but sometime I was just following allow with the scenes with no idea which guy she was speaking to. Maybe my reading will change after a reread if I do one. I might just be tired or didn’t pay attention in the beginning well enough.

This was more like a 3.75 for me⭐️ Have I read similar books to this one? Yes, but that’s actually why I picked it up - I love a premise where a baddie FMC has *secrets*, and must go to fancy school where she meets a band of bros that she whips into shape, until they are drooling after her. This book definitely served in that regard, and if you love that too, you’ll definitely enjoy reading this one!
Despite loving the plot, there were two issues I had that prevented me from rating it 5 stars. The first being the editing, spelling and grammar mistakes. Now I don’t mind a few oopsies, I get it happens, but the level of mistakes was incredibly distracting. Words that aren’t actually words, or words used in the wrong context (consul vs console). Mistakes like “here” instead of “her”, and virtually no comma usage. All of these things just took me out of the story, which is disappointing because this would be a truly awesome book if it just had a strong edit!
The second issue was the constant talk about her scars. Now don’t get me wrong, I love when a character isn’t physically perfect, but this felt more like a trope for the MMCs to obsess over way beyond the typical “who did this to you”. It wasn’t the scars or the trauma past that bothered me, it was that they seemed to be the only character development that she had, and the majority of her interactions revolved around them.
Will I read the next book?? Absolutely - like I said I’m a sucker for this kind of premise and it truly was an entertaining read. I just hope the next one has some tweaks to make it stronger!

NEED THE NEXT BOOK!
I did it again! I started a book series when the second book is not even published yet! This book is going to be living in my head for months now! Why can’t I have the second book already! I want to jump inside K.R. Simons head and just read the story from start to end there. This was such a great read! Waiting anxiously for the next books!

pleasantly surprised
This book was such a good story. I really enjoyed everything about it from the characters, story, plot etc.
There’s a scene with a willow tree, aura and a song which was so special.
I definitely recommend this book.
The only down side is the layout - it’s gapy? Is that the word? Where it’s a sentence or two, then a space, then another one.
I personally struggle with the layout and find it hard to read but that’s because my adhd tends to think that as soon as there’s a gap that it’s a new chapter/subject etc so it’s probably fine for most people but I struggled with that aspect of it.
If it wasn’t for that and a spelling errors I would have given it 5*.
Again though, the layout is a person thing and the spelling is definitely overlook able.
Everything else is 🤌🏼

3.5* Interesting
This book deserves more stars AfteR proper editing.
The beginning there is a hit and miss depending on your reading mood. Like I said, proper editing would have gone a long way. Try stick with it though.
There were parts where I didn't care for the heroine at all. Especially with Callahan, he's was the nicest MMC and she treated him like he had cooties. Every single time but was busy "panting" after the professor..... There is nothing romantic about the heroine and the MMCs which is a bit of a downer for me because I like my action sprinkled with some romance of some sort.
All that aside, this is actually a refreshing plot, kept us guessing what was going to happen and why. To be fair even with the cliff hanger nothing has really been answered, we are still guessing.
I liked her roommate Julia and her boyfriend Asher they were good people and loyal. They actually made Minerva likable, not sure how far I would have read if not for them.
I actually want to know what happens next.

Negatives:
Was this proofread at all? There are so many typos that it just taints the whole read. Not only typos but punctuation errors and it just seems like pure laziness when you misspell one of your own characters names.
Positives:
I was influenced by TikTok and I loved the little teaser because I love a badass bitch character.
I liked that Mayvn wasn’t a pushover and she acted smart and defends herself.
Overall:
I would have enjoyed this more if it was proofread and I will read the next one depending on how long it takes to be released.
I would like to see a bit more finesse with the next book.

Amazing read that everything you want in a book
Loved the MC loved her strength and the mystery she stillis. Fun read with intrigue creativity intricacy and slow burn romance that warms the soul. Family found family love pain and resilience are persistent themes here. Can't wait to read this authors other works.

Really good!
I loved this..
Something different here.
I loved the mystery of what Mayvn is, and how she came to be.
The guys are interesting, but kind of took a backseat inning this book.
I'm really interested in reading more about this world.
Hopefully book 2 comes out soon!

The world building was truly some of the best and most unique I've ever come across, can't remember the last time I was so desperate for a second book!

I picked up this book because the reviews were good. But none of them have done it justice. This one won't either. Just read the book!
