Blurb
She wants to restore her power… they want to find their missing piece.
Healer. Claimer of Souls. The Mortala.
Keeping secrets was a language Nelloix spoke fluently. Making sure those secrets–the kind a witch like her could only evade for so long–stay hidden is the only way to prevent the nightmares of her past from catching her.
She dared break away from those who sought to bind her power for eternity. Her punishment? A shattered heart to match her broken magic. Swearing off love, fate, and bonding with another being in order to keep both herself and others safe from the curse within.
Time has nearly run out, unless she can find the elusive ingredient she needs for a potion. A botanical extract so rare, Nell might as well abandon all hope…
When shadows from the past find her, what if it’s too late to outrun fate?
Predators. Monsters. Vampires.
Mischief and order. Light and dark. Two fated mates desperate to find the third member of their soul bond. But some mysteries were meant to remain concealed.
Love casts the deepest scars. Both Hunter and Ace have been torn apart by a witch before. Will they be able to overcome their greatest fears–the darkest parts of their own vampiric natures–when their world collides with a mystifying green-eyed witch.
The one who seeks something only they can provide…
Dark cravings pull on an invisible thread weaving three souls together, but will they survive the forces threatening to tear them all apart?

Overall Rating
5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This story of two vampire mates looking for their third mate is so heartfelt and sweet while also being so spicy, I couldn’t stop blushing and hollering about it! This MMF romance is beautiful and the connection built between these three characters will squeeze your heart 🥰
Good Girl and Good Boy for days! Phew I’m sweating lol
I love beautiful eyes and each of the three characters have stunning eyes! Ace’s changing colors, Hunter’s bright purple and Nell’s lush green eyes are all big loves of mine!
Daddy Ace! Ace is in charge and NO ONE is upset about that fact! The control this vamp has is next level. I loved his dirty mouth and how deeply he cared for Hunter and Nell. Super grumpy and brooding until things start to heat up. I am obsessed with this broody, plant nerd because he continued to surprise me with his care and his attention to detail! Ugh I swear the glasses also did it for me too! Commanding and controlled, Ace made me swoon even more with his poetic cadence and gruff praise. Ace is my favorite daddy dom and I have no shame about how shivery his dialogue made me!
Hunter Baby! He won me over from the first time he called Nell, Greens. 💚 He is a flirt and he loves Ace but something about Nell captures his attention and he can’t stay away from her. He’s my first love of the book and the binding glue of this throuple 🫶🏽 I love this cheeky bugger so much whether he was poking at Daddy Ace and translating grunts into actual words for Nell or saying something deliciously dirty, I am a fan! He is the kind of trouble I’m trying to get in😏 I loved how playful he is. He sees to everyone’s needs and keep everyone on the same page.
Good Girl Nell! From the first time we see her, I knew she was gonna be special. Nelloix has a kind heart and she’s the sweetest person. The betrayal she faces and the consequences thereafter have ruined everything in her life. All because of the Mortala! I loved her dedication to her friends and then seeing her have a strong connection with Hunter and it grow to include Ace too was such a fun journey! Two vamps?! No problem 😌 I wanna be Nell REAL BAD! I loved this FMC so much for her selflessness and loyalty but what really won me over was her determination to protect those she loves at whatever cost!
There’s a quote from Nell’s thoughts where she says, “Could she die from being too turned on?”, and I can tell you I was thinking the EXACT same thing! To say I’m excited to reread would be a huge understatement!
I will never stop recommending this book to all my romantasy and PNR loving buddies! Elliott Rose is actually my go to Rec for those who are wanting to read something fantastical and spicy! Thank you so, so much to the author for an advanced copy of this book for review!

Favorite Quotes
“We know you can more than handle each of us alone, but how about two vampires worshipping this sweet little body of yours?”
“He’d either just emerged from the forest, the pages of a book, or her dreams. Perhaps all of the above.”
“I’m not your pet.” “Are you sure you wouldn’t like to be? Our little enchanting plaything?”
“I like seeing you in his clothes more than I want to admit.”
“Using one hand, Ace gripped the back of Hunter’s neck and dragged him off his mouth. Panting, with their foreheads pressed together. “She tastes fucking incredible, doesn’t she?””
“all the while her laughter danced around the space as if it was the most natural thing in the world. As if she’d always been nestled among the lush foliage, like a jewel at the heart of their lives.”
“Keep. Going.”
They’d just met the worst part of her and here they were cuddling on the couch like nothing had happened.
“I’m defenceless against this thing, Greens. I want whatever you’re prepared to give me—us. I’ll take whatever crumbs you drop on the floor and kneel at your feet devouring them like a man starved.”
“Are you going to be a good boy and fuck her for me?”
“Is it such a bad thing fate drove us all together? Why fight what the Stars have written out for us in the language of the cosmos?”
“The universe gave me a map to your soul… Allow me to get lost here a little while.”
