May:Bloom & Bane

Rate this book
Sage clawed from the soil that cradled him with no memory of who he was. Eden woke in a glass coffin in a meadow she had never seen before.

For seasons, he spoke to her every night so she would not feel alone, tearing his own wing just to glimpse her face through the frost.

She heard every promise he whispered in the dark. And now she is awake.

The glass is gone, but so are their memories.

He doesn't know who he was before, or who he hurt in his past life to get to her.

An 8-foot fertility/reaper hybrid. A woman with no past. And a bond so deep it transcends death itself.

When the memories start flashing back, will his devotion be enough to survive the truth of what he has done?

Infinity star read, amazing plot, incredible romance!

This was book two in this series and I am just as obsessed as I was with the first one! The world building is insane and so immersive. The language is unique and becomes very natural, you find yourself understanding it without having to think about it and it adds so much depth to the story. The romance and slow burn was so perfect! You could feel the yearning and tension from the start. I loved Ashán and Sage, two souls, two mates sharing the same body with such different personalities. They complemented each other so well. I loved the way life and death was represented in this book through them. Eden is such a sweet and pure character. She is such a light or “sun” to her mates and all those who meet her. The three of them are such a perfect pair. They all worship each other and even though it takes a minute they find a way to all exist together peacefully. The found family in this book is one of the best parts! We were introduced to so many amazing characters and smaller story lines that will grow into their own stories. You truly fall in love and become highly invested in each side character you meet! I’m desperate to know more about them. This series and the interconnected other series that will follow are truly a must read. This world is so unique you get sucked in from the start. This was also a very plot heavy book and I LOVED that. The spice and romance was amazing but the plot was truly what made you turn the page. This author has easily became an auto read. Infinity stars 💫

I had the absolute honor of being a Beta reader for this book.
What happens when a soul is reborn as a fertility reaper, who then meets not only his bunny familiar with main character energy, but also his mate asleep in a glass coffin in his meadow? Well you're just going to have to read this book to find out!
I absolutely loved every moment in this world. While it's own interconnected standalone, this book opens wide the universe we got a glimpse of in Birch & Snowdrop. Of course there's plenty romance, humor, plot necessary angst and delicious spice but also a host of new characters you'll fall in love with. We get to meet both serious and irreverent gods, the four horseman of the apocalypse, and other characters who we'll see more of later.
I fell head over heels in love with Sage and Ashàn. Even though they are two sides of the same soul, their dynamic together with have you cackling just as much as crying. And their relationship with Eden is absolutely swoon worthy. Droot, the bunny familiar, is the king! (IYKYN)
This author is capable of writing scenes that will break your heart, mend it back up again in the most brilliant way and make you say "please may I have some more?" Their work is so unlike anything I've read before and it sticks with me long after putting it down.
I definitely recommend this hidden gem that needs it's time in the spotlight!

Im in love all over again!

Such an amazing follow up to Birch & Snowdrop!! L.R. Nighvryn did it again- made me fall in love with these characters 😍. I loved meeting so many new people in this one and getting to know more backstories and getting more insight. I am already itching for the next stories!!

World building was exquisite. The feelings/emotions were described amazingly. The spice was so creative and spiced so well.

I cannot recommend this book enough! This 800 page masterpiece felt like it was 200 pages and I still wanted more! Its truly well written, and so different!! Refreshing and SPICY! Ash and Sage and Eden all are characters you do not want to let go! They pull you into the story with mystery and what I consider to be the yearning of the year! The spice here is so so hot! Well written and if you like a spicy talker this will NOT disappoint! Sage is a YEARNING sweet baby, and Ash’s wonderfully filthy mouthed balance to him. Eden is relatable for anyone who deeply empathizes pain and cannot rest without a solution. Together they create the best love story with a KILLER plot that I could not put down! I have read all year. Now on to the language in the book! The author created a whole language for this series. It created a magic for me! I thought it was incredible and believable in that it reads like it could be real! The characters that play a role this series are not SIDE characters. You find yourself needing to find out what happens with them. They are not passive like in most standalone series and I loved it. I can’t wait to read about their stories! Just do yourself a favor and read it! It’s just so damn good. ALSO YOU SEE LUMI AND ANDRIK AGAIN AND THAT SHIT WAS CRAZY!!

4.5⭐️❤️
This book made me stare into space and contemplate my existence multiple times, this book has so many layers and complex sub plots that I sometimes had a hard time following it (simply because my brain power was lacking) but the imagination this author has is incredible. I had a very hard time figuring out h the r mechanics of the MMCs body sharing but that is strictly because my imagination sucks and I’ll never be able to imagine things how they were written without visual help (someone make some drawings I can see please?!) This book was heartbreakingly tragic and beautiful, finding and needing to keep your soulmate after lifetimes of chasing the wrong woman. I spent the first 30% of this book confused about who everyone was but once we learned the intricacies of their past, everything makes so much sense. The spice was great! Complicated and confusing at times (see body sharing) but I loved the change of pace from all the other romance book spice. The god(?) who cursed them can kick rocks. Totally will read the next one! #1 is still my favorite but I really enjoyed this too! Binged over 2 days and have no regrets!!❤️❤️❤️

I have two monster romance auto buys, Tiffany Roberts and L.R. Nighvryn. I was so excited when this came out that I read it in a single night. It's so much more than a spicy monster romance as with book 1. It's such a beautiful journey of learning to accept yourself and things you've done in the past that may weigh down on you. I can't wait to read Stitch & Storm next to see how you will emotionally ruin me.

I was conflicted when book one ended, because I didn't think there would be another MMC I would feel as deeply as I did for Andrik. WRONG! Not one, but two more MMCs have stolen my heart. There are not enough good things for me to say about this book without spoiling it. I can't wait for book number three, truly.

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH I FOUGHT AMAZON TO POST A REVIEW

PLEASE READ THIS ITS AMAZING!!
THIS REVIEW IS A MESSAGE TO THE AUTHOR SO SPOILERS AND I HAVE REVIEWED THIS BOOK SO MANY TIMES I GENUINELY CANT THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER ANYMORE😂😂😂

I love how both stories are focused on the main characters finding each other off the bat and you find out their story with them. Instead of a bunch of back story upfront the plot really pulls you in to figure it out with the characters. Eden and Sage and Ash pulled me into them. Also the language you created made me stop and think and gave me time to feel what was happening versus steaming through out of eagerness. The side characters(if you can even call them side characters) came to life with each moment they weren’t just plot fillers, or comedic relief. Theraels love for Rose shining through every thing he does or Damons playful nature hiding his pain. I also kind of hope Damons story is a throuple situation vs a reverse harem.lmao. Anyways you can tell that those characters matter just as much to the over all story as the couple we are currently reading about. The spicy scenes are delicious because of how the characters talk to each other. Like when Ash said something about she likes it when we tell her what she does to us. Fuck yes. The dialogue and yearning before had makes it so fucking steamy. Again that language you’ve created makes it so immersive. I also loved the fact that you described squirting. Hot. Usually it’s written as “she gushed” and that’s it.lol. Oh! And the the creativity of the vines holding each other down or Sage leashing himself, and objects around them that come into play! I hope this is more what you meant!

Get your tissues ready 🥺 What a beautiful book. I binged this in a single day and now I'm hating myself for not slowing down. I have a serious Ashán hangover.

I fell in love with Andrik and Lumi. I will always have a special place for them. But I think Eden, Ashán, and Sage may be my new favorites. I absolutely adore everything about this book.
