About this listen
Marie is a woman sold into a loveless marriage in a 1700s, second-world France. Under the close tutelage of the esteemed Lady Colette Valand, Marie has sewn a small corner of life for herself in their little town in the country-side. She even manages to find love and companionship in a secret affair with a prostitute, Alice. But Lady Colette has a few secrets of her own, and they all come to light on one fateful night when their bodies and futures are forever changed by a mysterious tin of tea leaves.
Dive back into the vampire lore first brought to you by Beneath the Bloody Aurora with this sapphic companion novella, and experience the turn that started it all.

My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

So much to listen to in so little time!
This was such a great story. I felt like I was listening to a sped up audio with how quickly things would happen in the story. I would definitely recommend listening to the audio if you are on a reading slump like me. Truly an enjoyable story.

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

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.

I enjoyed this.
When I read this book I wasn’t sure it was for me. With the help of the audiobook I really found that I liked the story. I thought the audio was good, don’t get me wrong. I just wasn’t crazy about it.

So much story in so little time!
For a 4 hour novella, a ton happens and it left me wanting more! Jam packed with action, heartbreak, and spice. The narrator was great and I'll definitely be reading/listening to more from this author!

Short but good.
This novella even though short, its full of life and context. It was beautifully narrated. Well completed story. Even though I wouldn't mind hearing some more. 😁
