Crowns of Nyaxia Book 1.5: Six Scorched Roses by Carissa Broadbent

 

Crowns of Nyaxia Book 1.5

Six roses. Six vials of blood. Six visits to a vampire who could be her salvation… or her damnation.

Lilith has been dying since the day she was born. But while she long ago came to terms with her own imminent death, the deaths of everyone she loves is an entirely different matter. As her town slowly withers in the clutches of a mysterious god-cursed illness, she takes matters into her own hands.

Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood–the one hope for her town’s salvation.

But when what begins as a simple transaction gradually becomes something more, Lilith is faced with a terrifying realization: It’s dangerous to wander into the clutches of a vampire… and in a place already suffering a god’s wrath, more dangerous still to fall in love with one.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Death has been by Lilith’s side since the moment she was born and has never strayed far from her. But now, Death comes for her whole town when their god cursed them with an illness. Lilith will not stand aside though. She has spent so much time on research and medicines to find a curse. And her latest idea maybe her craziest. She meets with Vale, a vampire who lives nearby, and makes a deal. His blood for six roses. But every encounter they have, draws them closer together in ways neither could have predicted. But time is running out. Can Lilith find the cure in time? Really loved Lilith and Vale’s story! They both have this thirst for knowledge and I loved how they eventually worked together. They also just understood one another in ways no one has truly gotten them. With a step always out the door to death, Lilith has never been able to form connections with anyone knowing she will be gone faster than any of them. But I loved how their relationship progressed. And these two were just so interesting of characters. I will definitely be excited to make cameos (which I’m hoping they do!) in upcoming books. I also just loved the little twists and turns the story had and just a very satisfying ending. Loving this series!
