About this book

*Duet narration by Rose Dioro and Stephen Dexter!* Once, I destroyed my fated mates. This time I'm going to save them. One moment, I'm living my downtrodden life: disowned, outcast, and barely scraping by. The next, I'm wrenched into an alternate universe where I'm rich, privileged—and dead. No one knows that last part yet except the killer and the woman who summoned me. And she won't send me home until I pose as my spoiled other self, infiltrate the upper echelons of magical society, and flush out my own murderer. If only I didn't walk into Luminary Academy and find myself face to face with my worst regrets: my fated mates. These formidable men have no idea I'm their destined match—or that I ruined their lives in my own reality. At best, they see me as a rival. At worst, a heartless enemy. But our fractured connection keeps pulling us closer despite my efforts to resist. I need to expose the murderer and leave this world before our bonds can spark. Because no matter how much my would-be mates torment and crave me, they have no idea how much blood I have on my hands. One wrong move, and I'll be the death of them... again. *Bloom & Blood is the first in a new urban fantasy series with tangled mate bonds, morally grey men who yearn their hearts out, and a fierce heroine determined to make the most of her second chance. This audiobook has duet narration.*

Couldn't get enough 👏💜

"I absolutely LOVED this new world and all the characters within! Wow...what a unique and thrilling concept. I was on the edge of my seat the entire read. Filled with oodles of intrigue, slow burn, and centers around one fantastically resilient, and fierce FMC. The world building is beyond top notch, and the characters are complex, layered and have so many colors. I couldn't put this gem down until I read the very last word! An absolute delight! ["

Why Choose Romantasy

"This completely caught me off guard—in the best way. I loved it. Give me a “why choose” romantasy anytime, but add in dark academia? Immediate yes. This book follows Elodie, who is taken from her reality—where she lives with three of her four mates (one has died)—and pulled into another world where her counterpart has been murdered. Brought there by her aunt, she’s forced to step into this version of her life and uncover who killed her in order to return home. What makes things even more complicated is that her fated mates exist in this reality too… including the one she lost. Trying to keep her distance from them proves nearly impossible, and that tension adds a really compelling layer to the story. For me, the biggest issue was the beginning. I didn’t get enough time with Elodie and her original mates to really feel the weight of those relationships, so when she talks about missing them, it didn’t fully land. There are flashbacks of her life with them, but even with those included, the emotional connection didn’t fully land for me. I did, however, feel her connection with the mates in this alternate reality much more strongly. And that ending?? Absolutely wild. I genuinely have no idea where this is going next, and I love that. I need book two ASAP. ‎‧₊˚✧𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓮𝓬𝓽✧˚₊‧ ➳❥ Book 1 / Romantasy ➳❥ Dark Academia ➳❥ Why Choose ➳❥ Fated Mates ➳❥ Alternate Reality ➳❥ Slow Burn ➳❥ Hidden Identity ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ 𝓕𝓪𝓿 𝓠𝓾𝓸𝓽t𝓮𝓼 “If I break under pressure, I might never get back to the versions of those men who own my heart.” “I want her. I can't think of anything else in my life that's felt worth going all in on.” “She said she has better things to do? Not a problem. I'll just have to make myself better, until she's ready to do me.” “You see me, and I see you. Like no one else does, tesoro.” "No one could be as right for me as you.” ["

Why Choose + Fated Mates + Magical Academy 😍🔥

"Why Choose + Fated Mates + Magical Academy + Parallel Universe + Murd3r mystery!! 😍 I absolutely go feral for why choose fantasy romance and I had a blast reading + listening to this book!! 💗 I absolutely love the FMC and the 4 MMCs and can't wait to see what happens next since it ended on such a big cliffhanger. Book 1 is definitely a slow burn with not much spice at all since our FMC is still dealing with the fact that she had to leave her fated mates from her own reality and she is fighting her attraction to her mates in this reality. Plus they are still just getting to know each other and there is some bullying going on a bit as well at first. The tension was definitely HOT though! 🔥 The book definitely picks up pace more around the middle of the story so I know book 2 will be amazing now that we have all the world building established and got to know each character better. I am so impatiently waiting for book 2!! 🎙️I did immersive reading with the duet narration audiobook and loved it! The narrators Rose Dioro and Stephen Dexter did an amazing job portraying the characters. I really enjoyed the delivery of Stephen Dexter since he even changed his voice a bit between all 4 MMCs. I definitely recommend grabbing the audiobook since it makes following the story even better! 📖 This is the first book in the series so there is definitely a lot of world building going on plus the author Eva Chase created a whole magical system which honestly took me a while to understand and I might still be a bit confused about certain things but hopefully book 2 will clear it all up for me. It definitely got a bit overwhelming in some instances where I had to take my time to try to understand everything that was going on since a lot of things were happening simultaneously. OMG that cliffhanger happened when I was so invested in the story and really getting into it and falling in love with all the MMCs and how the story was going for our FMC plus we were starting to get some answers about stuff...so yes I am definitely excited for book 2 and to see what happens next!! I NEED IT NOW!! 😍🔥 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 (rounded it up to 5) Spice: 🌶️ Audiobook: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 Audiobook format: Duet narration Tropes in this book: ✨ Urban fantasy romance ✨ Why Choose with 4 MMCs (no MM) ✨ Magical academy ✨ Parallel universe ✨ Murd3r mystery ✨ Fated mates ✨ Teacher/student ✨ Age gap - FMC is 20 and oldest MMC (teacher) is 28 so 8 year age gap ✨ Morally grey men ✨ Second chance ✨ Fierce & bad@ss FMC ✨ Mate bonds include 2 brothers ✨ Touch her and 💀 ✨ Hidden identity ✨ Slow burn ✨ Unique magical system ["
