From the author of Necromantic: True Love Never Dies comes a sapphic, paranormal romance set in a post-apocalyptic world.
REMNANTS: DISRUPTION is Chapter 1 of Death's Affliction, the sister series to Necromantic and the Death's Curse.
New Chicago has a serial killer. Or two.
Arya Skovsgaard is a lot of things, but a hero is not one of them. She might do heroic things, but since waking up ten years ago with no memory, it's hardly something she can claim.
It also doesn't help that as a Remnant, she has strange powers that a large chunk of the world does not. She's not alone, but metahumans aren't always seen as positives in this world. Especially since they're blamed for the First and Second Disruptions that occurred centuries ago.
Worse still, her powers of communion with the dead are really helpful for solving crimes, but little else.
When a new string of serial murders turns out to be two different culprits, she finds herself in a head-on collision with a truth that is far larger than herself. And one that will ultimately alter the world as she knows it.

Hi! I’m Mourning Star (they/them), and I write sapphic romances!
Each journey is one of self-discovery and acceptance, fraught with trials and tribulations. But each character will get their happily ever after.
Keep in mind, my works are explicitly 18+. If I had my druthers, it would be 21+, but I can’t stop you. The books I write cover heavy topics, so be aware of the content warnings associated with each.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book blends so many genres together in the best way. Think sapphic paranormal superheroes saving the world. There was so much action packed in, and it constantly kept me guessing as to what would happen next. Every prediction I made was wrong, I didn’t see any of the plot twists coming.
Arya, the MC, really grew on me. I initially went back and forth on my opinion of her. However the character growth was impressive and I ended up feeling very proud of her.
I can’t say much about the sapphic romance without giving away some of the best parts. You’ll just have to trust me when I say that Arya and her love interest are SUCH a power couple!
I loved the book, found it pretty interesting and the story got me wanting to keep reading.I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I was given this book complimentary from Book Sirens in e-book form in return for my honest review. Everything stated in this review is of my own opinion and I was not compensated monetarily for providing this review. This is my second book by the author and I am becoming (maybe have become would be more accurate) a big fan. Hard to do a review without giving away spoilers but I will try. The world and character building are masterful, rather than give a history full of "and then" and "shortly after" the author guides the readers imagination - a perfect example of "show, don't tell". For me this book is a perfect example of why movies will never replace books, at least for thinking people. The author provides perfect foundation for the readers imagination to build on. The plot, how to comment on the plot without spoilers? Let me just say that the pacing is great and there are several "I didn't see that coming" moments. one major one that alters the whole trajectory of the book. Running through the book is a beautiful sapphic romance which I would love to say more about but can't - read the book, and you will see why. This is not a book for speed reading or skimming, every paragraph is important. Several times I reread chapters just to be sure of what I had read. Bring your imagination and enjoy the ride. Is this a superhero novel, a sapphic romance or a fantasy - at the end of the day who cares, it's a great read abd I am looking forward to seeing where the author leads us in the next volume. Five stars and highly recommended

So seriously, one of the best books that I have read all year and I’m nearly 500 in for the year. The world building the characters. I love everything about it. I honestly feel like this was perfect. I would’ve given it seven stars if I could.
I have the authors other book that they’ve released and I’m so excited to start that one now.
Reading this felt like I knew exactly what was going on. And then I was wrong. Every. Single. Time!! Everything that I thought I totally understood I wasn’t even close to figuring it out. It was amazing!! Never once did I know what else was coming and it was fantastic. I want to wear this book like a jacket, inject it in my veins. Insanely worth the read. Worth every shock and awe lol
