Short but jam packed!

I absolutely loved this book! The story circled around beautifully. The way Beka describes the characters turning into vampires was so vivid. It was a shorter book but I felt like I read a full length one! So much story jam-packed into this yet nothing felt out of place or too much. It was perfect if you want a timeless f/f romance with vamps and the full spectrum of emotion. Highly recommend

Great story

I really enjoyed this story, I just got back into reading about 6 months ago and this was the first book of this type that I have read normally mine are a little darker lol but I really enjoyed it and the audio performance was amazing as well.

A spice read

What a spicy sapphic read! Vampire lesbians need I say more! Spicy with a good but simple plot. I really enjoyed this and can’t wait to read more by this author.

Emotional, well done performance by Dahlia Summers

A truly wonderful performance. This is a very spicy sapphic vampire novella. The plot wasn't for me - too dark, child death.

well... im suffienctly soaked

Sapphic, plus-size rep, vampires, hot AF spice... this litte book did not disappoint. I loved Beneath the Bloody Aurora but I love it even more after reading the prequel. As others have already stated, my one complaint is that it was too short! Despite that, the execution was fantastic.The expert placement of POV switches and the ability to create depth and intimacy between characters in a short-story style has me really impressed. Super engaging, delectable spice, and vividly painted scenes. I experienced the same un-put-down-able-ness I did with BTBA. 

The narrator did such a great job bringing this to life.
