Luxluna
Ancient Rome and Regency collide in this slow burn tale of love, vampires, werewolves and nymphae.
Nightmares filled with an all consuming hunger. Past memories that evade her. Questions that arise only to be swept away in the wind a moment later. As long as Miliana has her grandmother, none of it matters.
Yet when they are separated, her entire world is turned upside down.
Miliana is faced with circumstances that she cannot explain and a man she cannot keep from her mind.
A dormant garden, a city under threat and a growing list of secrets, Miliana seeks to find the truth amongst it all.
Though answers are not all Miliana will uncover. Love can also be found in the most unexpected places.

ARC Review
If you enjoy the vibes of a paranormal love story with vampires, werewolves, and nymphae, combined with a profound reflection on the battles we fight with grief, trauma, abandonment and sadness, then add this book to your TBR now.
There’s a lot of set up and world building in the first half of the story. It’s the space where you start asking questions though, because some things don’t quite sit right. I thought Miliana was SO young, naive and innocent; if anything, she was a bit vapid! Incorrect! The writing was well paced though, and I just wanted to keep going to find out what was actually going on.
Once we hit 50%, everything really took off! It was hard to put the book down to buddy read with a friend, because I just wanted to keep reading. I particularly enjoyed Miliana discovering her power and wielding it.
I appreciated how masterfully the author explored social status and privilege. As a backdrop to the predicaments the various characters found themselves in, it was very nicely layered into the story to provide depth. Plus, the reflections on sadness and grief were particularly heartfelt and they tugged at my heart. I loved how they were physically embodied and would have loved to have explored it in more detail (it was just that good, I wanted more!). The developing relationship was also very sweet, but more depth in tension or chemistry would have given it a bit more oomph.
Overall, a light and easy story, with some poignant real-life reflections, made this a very enjoyable read.
“Darkness, unlike light, had a way of lingering. Pain left a mark that endured. And so, I had come to learn life wasn’t simply about avoiding the dark, but rather finding the strength to continue despite it all.”

Thank you, Rebecca Camm, for this opportunity. I received an ARC of this book; here is my honest review:
Werewolves, Vampires and Nymphae, what could go wrong? This book was endearing; it covers all the elements of werewolf stories, but without the excessive, intense drama, which I’m thankful for. Caius and Miliana are such a cute couple; he’s so thoughtful and patient. Miliana and Sabina are such intriguing characters, but sadly I can’t mention much more without being spoilery. There are a lot of aspects that make this story rich, like sibling bonds, balance between species, the price of a long life, and the most widely covered topic: societal differences and status. This book is medium-paced, and the story is not overly complicated, but without being boring or bland. Would I recommend this book? Absolutely.

Werewolves, Vampires, Nymphae.. oh my!
This has been the easiest five star book review for any book I have read in recent times.
I was drawn in first by the cover and then the blurb and Rebecca's writing kept me enthralled, not wanting to put the book down, reading into the early hours of the morning when I should most definitely have been sleeping before my baby would wake for a bottle.
I loved how the characters were written, the care and time given to building the image of them.
This story is beautifully paced, not rushed, taking its time to grow but not slow or dragged out. It keeps you captivated, wanting to know more about Miliana, Sabina, Caius.
The way Miliana is written and allowed to grow and discover herself is a breath of fresh air. The fact that she discovers who she is before getting closer to Cai was beautiful.
I was guessing as to what was happening to Miliana and the goings on at Patricia's Pio's villa and I thought I had it figured out but boy was I wrong!
I would absolutely LOVE for there to be more books that follow on from Luxluna because I am in love with everything about it!
"Even on the day Pluto claims us, we will find each other in his lands and be together. I love you Miliana, I will for eternity. You are mine."

October 21, 2026Miliana has spent her life with memories that she can't quite grasp. As long as she has her grandmother, none of it matters. But when they're separated, her whole world is turned upside down, and she's left chasing answers in a city under threat, with a man she can't keep out of her mind.
I really enjoyed the world building in Luxluna! The Ancient Rome and Regency blend gave the story its own identity, and I liked how the vampires, werewolves and nymphae all fit into the world. I always love a book that gives Twilight vibes - with the werewolf vs vampire dynamic - which I loved.
Miliana and Caius were the highlight for me. Both are well developed and easy to connect with, and I enjoyed watching them navigate the secrets and tension around them. Their slow burn feels earned.
Overall, this is a fun, atmospheric start to The Myths of Victrix series, and I'm keen to see where the world goes next. I would have loved even more time exploring it, but I'm very much looking forward to book two!
Thank you so much to Rebecca Camm for providing me with an ARC of Luxluna, all opinions are my own!

Thank you for ARC Rebecca Camm! I had a blast reading this book.
There were many elements of this read that really pulled me into the story and kept me on my toes. The incorporation of the Ancient Rome/regency era with the paranormal was really unique - and the pacing of the build up at the beginning was so crucial to the all the action at the back end of the book.
I loved the peeling back of the secrets with characters. I was guessing and trying to piece together the clues throughout and loved all the twists and turns as the story had me desperately trying to finish to know how it ends. I was invested in the complexity of the characters, there was a lot of depth to them, which echoed their decisions and motives. The flaws and the way their backstories explained their actions was realistic and I appreciated the way Miliana navigated her world - she had to balance her societal place, her complicated family, paranormal threats and powers and love. She is a force to be reckoned with!
I loved the tiny details - the chapters were in Roman numerals 💚 the chapters has titles 💚 there was character art 💚

“There is knowing one’s place and one’s calling, and then there is being put in a category simply due to circumstances of birth. Which do you think truly reflects one’s soul?”
✨ Vampires and werewolves
✨ Nymphae
✨ Found family
✨ Beauty and the Beast vibes
This was such a fun, easy read. The world is really accessible, with enough going on to keep things interesting without needing pages of lore before you can get into the story.
“A disgusting man who wouldn’t take no for an answer? Yes. But a vampire? No, I had no idea.”
There are supernatural creatures, secrets to uncover and a really lovely found family that I enjoyed getting to know. I also got Beauty and the Beast vibes from the whole mysterious setting, unexpected romance and “something cursed is definitely going on here” energy.
“It was a terrifying thing, to lay oneself bare in the hope of forming a bond. To be seen as genuine and worthy, despite all of one’s faults.”
I really liked Miliana and Caius together too. There’s something really sweet about the way their relationship develops as Miliana starts finding people she can trust after everything in her life gets turned upside down.
“He would do anything to keep me safe. Knowing he would run deep into danger for me only made me more afraid.”
Chaos, vibes and opinions are all my own ✨ please give credit if you share.

First, thank you to the author for giving me this ARC! 🥰
This story is perfect for anyone looking for werewolves, vampires, and even nymphae in a regency era setting! For me it was a simple and easy read with not too many conflicts, which made it quite enjoyable. I’d definitely love to see more of the Luxluna world building 👀
The first half of the story felt a little slow for me, but the second half picked up the pace, and little by little, the questions I had started to get answered. Especially the reveal about Avia wow! I really did not expect her connection to Miliana
And the romance!! I loved how patient Caius was with Miliana and how he showed his love in his own way 💖 It was really sweet to see their relationship slowly develop until they finally got together 🥹❤️
Overall, I really enjoyed this book wholeheartedly. It was a fun, easy read with an interesting mix of supernatural creatures and regency vibes 🥰

What a beautiful, unique and simply enjoyable story. I absolutely loved the Roman / Regency spin. I loved the nymphae — I’ve done fairies and other fae, but this was my first time with nymphae and I loved it.
The story is so immersive. From pg 2 I quickly became obsessed and read over 60% in one sitting.
It’s dark, it’s light, it’s sexy, it’s alluring, it breaks your heart with some of the reveals, you love and hate along with the characters.
Truly, what a magnificent story.
Thank you Rebecca, for letting me be on your ARC team, I’m so grateful and will be thinking of this book for a long time to come. I can’t wait for more!!

First of all I would like to say Thank you to Rebecca Camm for giving me the chance to be part of her ARC Team.
Luxluna is a wonderful book! It had so much mystery that kept me hooked and the combination of Ancient Rome combined with vampires and werewolves was a refreshing read. The story line was so good as well. The pacing felt perfect for the characters development and to ensure it didn't feel like things were happening too fast either.
Definitely highly recommend this book if you enjoy vampires and werewolves but want a different twist to it.
I definitely plan on reading more of Rebecca's books as well.

I will say it every time, I am a sucker for all things werewolf shifter and romance. The world setting was on point bringing Ancient Rome vibes and intertwining with a regency tone and had me hooked. Luxluna takes you on such a journey between the historical themes and the supernatural beings that I couldn’t stop reading once I started. The slow burn between our FMC and MMC was indeed a slow burn but it made the ending even more beautiful.
A big thank you to Rebecca for the ARC read!

Luxluna was everything my romantasy loving soul needed right now. I’ve read dozens of books with werewolves and vampires but this was the first time I’ve read about Nymphae, and I loved it! It felt like Underworld meets Bridgerton with a Roman twist! (All my favourites btw)
I couldn’t get enough of the seductive world of Victrix that Camm has lovingly constructed and am especially keen to explore this world further in future books. There are a few side characters I need to know more about asap. (Looking at you Marcellus!)
If you’re looking for a regency inspired fantasy book with romance that makes your toes curl, banter that has you giggling and, intriguing lore then LUXLUNA is a must for your tbr!
Also, do yourself a favour and have a friend read it with you so you can message each other manically when the plot gets juicy 😉

This was okay, a bit on the predictable side. I am curious how book 2 is going to be since this felt pretty wrapped up at the end.
