This book was so damn good. I mean, it's from Mars Adler so I already knew I was going to love it, BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT TO LOVE IT SO MUCH.
It has vampires, magic, a trans mc, an enemies to enemies that fuck to kind of lovers. What more can you ask? literally perfect

A delightful read involving a pair of feuding vampiric families and a haunted house. I loved the worldbuilding in this, and the glimpses of a larger universe around the plot. Elio gave a great POV and the depth of Valerian's characterization was wonderful. Also, the sex pollen subplot was amazingly hot.

Elio and Valerian are bratty babies, and need to be protected.
Loved everything about this! The cursed house, family dynamics, family secrets unravelled, and of course the boys' banter (and their bonding)

This was fully, completely, wholly DELICIOUS.
'Blood & Flowers' follows Elio and Valerian as they try to solve the mysteries of the D'Arcy ancestral home. For many years their families have been rivals and they aren't exactly on best terms either, but as they face the horrors of the house they discover different sides to each other, and find they're not so different after all.
Full of fear, anger, and a big ol' pile of sex pollen, this novella had me GRIPPED. Beautifully written, sexy as hell, and with a mysterious plot to keep you going. I'm in love!!!
Now I'll openly admit I'm not usually a big fan of vampire stories, but after reading 'First Creation' from mars adler I knew I HAD to grab this, and oh my god it did not disappoint. These two will now live forever in my head. I will think about them all the time. Please read this, I need everyone to read this.
