Lustfully Romantic
“For the next thousand years, and then for the eternity after, I am yours.”
It starts with a deal, Mara makes a deal with Vepar and from there everything changes. Living with Demons, hiding from Angels, this book had it all. Zephar becomes protective over Mara, I loved the chemistry between them.
It is well written, with a great plot and spiciness.
I couldn't put this book down, it grips you from the beginning. The romance, drama and passion with a hint of demons will keep you reading.

Blood On My Name posits a unique world that sadly never truly goes anywhere significant.

This book is for fans of Supernatural or even Buffy. Those who like a lot of spice with with amazing plot.
Mara makes a deal with a demon and gets sucked into a world of angels vs. demons that she NEVER bargained for. Held captive with a set of demon twins, she slowly starts to learn that the bad guys aren’t always evil and the good guys aren’t always great.
This book is spicy from about 12% in and then just keeps getting better. I loved the brothers and Mara and let me tell you, this author knows how to write a villain. I did not see the big surprise reveal of the main plot point coming, and I usually do. This book was a perfect blend of mystery, romantic subplot, end of the world battles, sacrifice and 🥵🥵🥵🥵.
If you love the “I will kill everyone who hurts you” or the “I have a much bigger supernatural destiny than I ever realized” tropes, you don’t want to miss this one.

[ARC Review]
I absolutely loved everything about this book! The writing style was beautiful and eloquent. It flowed so easily and kept you wanting to read more.
The main character Mara was super relatable (yes even in a demon & angel fantasy fiction). You just felt for her and her struggles. And then there's that whole fantastic plot line of Hell vs Heaven... I loved how the author created this world where demons and angels are every bit a part of the real world with real life jobs and living mortal lives while still maintaining their basic immortal functions. (Like demons making deals for souls...)
But let's talk about Zepar, the real star of the show! He is what book boyfriends are made of. The big bad demon who becomes obsessively protective and is brought to his knees by his unrelenting feelings for Mara is seriously the chef's kiss! Oh and the spicy scenes were ah-maz-ing! The chemistry alone was addictive but then you had those wonderful snippets of goodness and oh my 🥵... lol.
I would have to say that out of everything amazing in this book, my favorite part is that Mara went from being a victim of her circumstances wanting nothing more than to free herself from her abusive ex, to this super badass chick who stepped up and saved not just herself but the big bad demon too. You justnhave to love a story that ends with a strong female main character!

This book was so freaking amazing!! I received this as an ARC and read it in one sitting. I loved the angels and demon setting especially since our characters had different powers. I love how Zepar and Vepar are protective of Mara and “kidnap” her to keep her safe. I didn’t know what to think of Sitri because he acted like he cared and liked Mara but used every opportunity to mess with the boys. I loved how Mara was timid and scared at the beginning but ended up becoming a bad-ass at the end. I loved this book and can’t wait for everyone to read it!

I really enjoyed reading Maras story but what made this book for me were the brothers! I loved their banter between one another and willingness to protect what each other and what "belonged" to them. the cover is super smexy but don't let it mislead you this is not a why choose.
our FMC Mara makes a deal with a crossroads demon, asking him to save her from her ex boyfriend offering up a soul in return. Our demon Vepar makes the deal not realizing all hell...and Heaven is about to break loose over this humans soul.
this book gives off touch her and you die vibes also forced proximity. it was a little slow to start for me but once i was 15% in it was so fun to read and the ending was so unexpected!!!

It was nice a nice read and it is clear the author did extensive research on the biblical Angels & Demons, but the story unfortunately didn't manage to captivate me.
There were parts in the book that didn't really seem to contribute to the story and sometimes even took away from the story and/ or the character developments. I feel like those parts could have instead be used to build the story, develop the world and create more depth to the characters.
The ending felt underwhelming and abrupt, the story seemed to be building up to something only for it to a left turn and end without much action.

I am about 41% through this book and it is a retelling of the myth of Lucifer falling out of grace with God. The Fallen, Lucifer, "Father," Michael are all here. I think this is pretty interesting so far. A woman who needs to get away from her ex makes a bargain with a demon and then they discover she is more than she even knows she is.
This was unexpected. I didn't know going into it that I would like it because it was just something I knew I could read quickly. I like the idea of literally tearing down heaven and hell for love. Good book.

I really loved this book. The chemistry between characters, plot that went smoothly, and the interesting supernatural/ angels n demons dynamics. I can't wait to see if Mara and Zepar get more page time in another book.

It was quite good till the last half of the book.
The plot could have been better, the indicators of this being an RH type book...well, the cover is wrong. But the moments in the book make also misled me.
So, it was really put out at the end. Just seemed so....I don't know, lacklustre. The feeling you get when you look forward to something in the fridge, think about it all day, get home, and someone's eaten it. That kind of shocked, oh feeling.
Besides that, the good parts are really good. The spicy smutty moments are mmmmm hot 🔥 🥵
Which makes the let downs hurt so much more.
Good world building. I just didn't use it as much as I expected.
Good character building. I just didn't push them and give more of the story as I expected
Contains dark triggers around domestic mental abuse. Has a HEA...kinda
3.4 stars

4.5/5 ⭐️’s I really enjoyed this book! It definitely gives huge Supernatural vibes. I loved how Mara, the FMC, makes rational decisions. It’s the first book I’ve read, where the FMC isn’t making all these dumb decisions, but decisions that any normal human would make. I loved it!
““Don’t ever apologize to one of our kind. It shows weakness, and from this day forward, you have none.” His pupils dilated, a storm of severity affronting my vision.” I love that these brothers went into protective mode immediately with Mara, before they even understood why.
“I assure you, I will not bring you pain until you are begging for it. And even then, I would deny you until you were on the cusp of madness without it just to witness the gratitude wash over your body at the impact.” THE SMUT IN THIS BOOK YALL
“I promised you once before that I wouldn’t let anyone hurt you, but let me be very clear now. Not a single being on this plane or any other will touch a single hair on your head unless they slit my throat first. If that means that I have to tear down the Heavens, then so be it.” Mmmm that possessiveness 🥰🫶🏼
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. K. Elle Morrison did a fabulous job writing this book, and I can’t wait to read more from her!

I really enjoyed the dynamic of Mara and Zepar. Zepar is a demon who has always felt loneliness in him, that he attributed to his fall from Heaven until he meets Mara. Mara seeks Vepar, Zepar's twin, to save her life by making a deal. By accepting Mara's deal, Vepar starts an old prophesy that he was unaware of. Seeking to conceal Mara once the angels decide to take her life, Vepar leaves Mara with Zepar, who instantly feels a connection with her. Zepar is ready to give his own life to protect Mara so that she can live out her life the way she wishes.
The story was sweet and thrilling at times. The spice was hot and Zepar is so loving and gentle with Mara. I loved their story and how they both would give up their life to save the other.

Blood On My Name is a novel that reminded me of Supernatural. I am a huge fan of the show, so naturally I loved this book as well.
This novel had a good mix of spice and plot. I would have preferred to get more nitty gritty into the plot, but it still had a good amount of plot. I was half expecting her to end up with the two brothers instead of one due to the cover, but she only ended up with the one. The FMC had great chemistry with the hero, but it was more insta love than slow. I know he's her captor, but she fell for him very quickly. I would have preferred to see more of a back and forth and internalization of feelings than the almost instant love, but it was still a good relationship.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone that is a fan of Supernatural and the like. It's a great novel and I really enjoyed it!

OMG what an amazing book!!!
I want to start reading it all over again. If you want to read a spicy story with a Lucifer and Supernatural feel, this is the book for you.
“I could wait an eternity, but once you are ready, I’m going to break down every insecurity you have. Free you from any hesitation that is holding you back. I am going to show you, darling, why lust is the most powerful sin.”
His words set me on fire.

This book kept my attention the whole way through. Definitely an 18+ book but, if you are looking for a book with the perfect amount of smut to plot you’ve found it!! It kept me guessing in the best of ways and I couldn’t be more happy that I picked it up. I just couldn’t get enough of Mara and Zepar. I just want more of Mara, Zepar and Sitri! When you pick this up you will not be disappointed.

This book was definitely a supernatural vibe with lots of twist and turns. I loved how it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The characters where fantastic and the mystery was everything! Would definitely recommend!

I got an ARC copy of Blood on my name by K. Elle Morrison and YOU GUYS.
I love me so demon and angel beef. But this book is Top 3 so far. THE STORY IS SO GOOD.
The beginning was a little tough in my opinion just due to the unknowns going into the book, but not even three chapters in and it gets so good.
This is dual perspective and it does a lot in my opinion to show how the characters are going to move in regard to the story line.
I CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH

I was lucky enough to be able to get an ARC of this book and it was amazing!! It was incredibly relatable even with the fantasy elements. Mara is probably one of the most relatable characters I have read in a while! I love how she is scared but is also brave and faces everything that comes at her! I love Zeper! He is the epitome of willing to kill anyone who touches her!! It is so easy to read and flows so well! Once you pick it up it is so hard/ nearly impossible to put it down!! I am so looking forward to reading more in this series!!!

This author really did her research 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I am really impressed at the work that went into this novel. The details in this story are thoughtfully woven together and I could easily see the hard work that was put into the research of demonology. The plot was complex, especially for a short novel and I easily could have read another 200+ pages on this story because it was so intriguing. I really enjoyed all the characters but I wish I could have had just a little more character building, especially for Mara but it did not take away from the story. Though this book is not as spicy as my typical reads, it was not an issue for me since I loved the characters so much and was completely invested in the political intrigue of this world the author created.
Plot Overview: Blood On My Name follows Mara who is forced to make a damning decision. To protect herself from a violent boyfriend she makes a crossroads deal with a demon named Vepar. After signing over her fate to the demon, Mara is thrown into the world of politics between heaven and hell when a target is placed on her back. Something dark lurking within her has caught the attention of both the angels and demons and forces Vepar’s hand to ensure her protection and his own. He and his reluctant twin brother, Zepar, kidnap Mara and lock her away in Zepar’s California home. Zepar feels a pull towards Mara and her to him, but conflict lies that her soul belongs to his brother and Mara is in constant danger from higher ranking beings who want her soul for their own agendas.
“For the next thousand years, and then for the eternity after, I am yours.”
I would love to read more about the characters in this book (Especially Veper & Sitri 🔥), it is overall a really great read and I would definitely recommend this novel! 🖤

Blood on my name was unexpected and I liked it. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this book but it took me for a ride and i appreciated it. Blood on my name is a story about fate, and who really controls it ultimately. I loved the author’s spin on how we view angels, demons, the story of the Fall, and predestination. Although it’s a fun spicy book, it does still challenge you to confront things you thought you knew. I throughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more from this author!

This was a fun read to dive into. It starts with our FMC Mara making a deal with a demon and all the unknown consequences that come with it. Turns out, there was more to the deal than any of them realized. Kate definitely did her research into demonology and made her own play on it.

Some of my favorite quotes:
“The hunger that had plagued my existence had been sated, and she was my feast for the rest of time. She would not bring unity between Heaven and Hell, but she was my peace.”
“I was nothing but a speck of dust to him. But even the smallest grain of sand could cause a great disturbance to the inner workings of fine-tuned machines.”
“That was putting my bloodlust lightly. I didn’t just want to defend Mara; I wanted to place her on a throne made from the ash of every angel that resided in Heaven and every demon who would dare look at her.”
“That was sweet revenge. A fine, aged wine of spite with notes of petty that could keep a demon content for as long as the human race kept itself alive.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I did feel as though the story was kind of slow. We didn’t really get a grasp of the problem until about 60-65% in. Readers know that demons and angels are after Mara but we don’t see a lot of issue with it. Just a bunch of demons making pointless threats and then leaving. I didn’t see that ending going the way it did, though. It wasn’t as epic as I had hoped it would be but it was definitely a good twist!
There was also a tour of our demon love interest sex dungeon. We saw it once and then it basically wasn’t mentioned again 😭

This had a slow build, but once it got going it didn’t stop until the very end. It has several different tropes such as love triangle between brothers, forbidden love/lust, touch her and die, and it has soul binding. The Demon vs Angel conflicts to save the girl were down quite well throughout the plot. Plus there was plenty of smut for those who enjoy that 😜. Enjoyed this book and interested in reading more by the author.

Are demons the new angels? In this story, it appears like it.
Reach a agreement with a demon to rid yourself of your shady ex? Yes, please, and oh my goodness, what a demon.
A story with a good pace, good spice, and a surprise twist. This book was finished within 3 days (with its audio companion), but I would have finished it sooner had it not been for adult responsibilities. lol

Zepar & Mara: This Story Was Very Confusing
This book is yet another reason why I feel it's important for the book blurbs on the back to provide an accurate description to what a book is about.
So, full disclosure... I do not care to read books with a heroine and multiple love interests. I prefer not to read reverse harems, #whychoose, or books where sharing the heroine or hero are involved. I don't have anything against the genre. It's just my personal preference. I prefer to read romance where the romance is one on one. With that being said, it would have been nice to have had that included on the Amazon description of the book, something that is now considered the new norm. A new feature that others and I appreciate.
With that being said, we have two demon twin brothers, Zepar and Vepar. Upon glancing at the cover, I was skeptical but after reading reviews and asking questions from other readers who have read the book, I was assured that this book was NOT a #whychoose novel. When it really isn't. But there are multiple characters interested in the heroine. Again, not something I enjoy.
Anyway, Mara makes a deal with twin, Vepar to get out from under an ex's thumb as she owes him money. Vepar agrees to the deed, but the fee is for a soul. She makes the deal but due to a loophole, he ends up owning Mara's soul. Enter his brother, Zepar who begins to have feelings for her. And just like the movie "Something About Mary"... it seems all the males who come in contact become drawn to Mara and wants her for himself. However, she develops feelings for Zepar. They soon discover the true reason that everyone is drawn to Mara. Some want to claim her for themselves, and others want to kill her.
This writing was very good. However, somewhere along the way, I became very confused, and the biblical references and loopholes became too much. The end of the book totally went over my head and some sort of deal was struck that made absolutely no sense to me. I could have reread it and tried to decipher it. But, in truth, I really didn't care.
The author states that this book was an HEA. But, given the circumstances at the end, I would categorize this as HFN. I wasn't satisfied with the ending and the snippet provided at the end of the book gave me no desire to continue the series. I'm getting off this merry go round.
In a nutshell, this book was just OK. It will hold your interest, but I fear after a while, you may lose interest or at least have to read the conclusion again just to make heads or tails of it.
Happy reading!

In the first 60% of the book, give or take a couple pages, almost nothing happens. And then, the info-dumping starts. I’m a catholic, and some of the information I was already familiar with, yet it felt like too much, and some of it I just couldn’t process. I can’t imagine what it was like for someone who didn’t know any of it beforehand. Some of it could have been told earlier in the book, so it wasn’t so freaking overwhelming.
Another thing that bothered me was that this woman changed her mind every two sentences about lusting after every male on scene. She would be thinking how she didn’t want X to touch her, and that X’s touch was going to make her vomit, and two sentences later she’d be practically dry humping the guy. Or thinking how sexy and attractive Y was only to be grossed by Y’s interest in the next paragraph. The cover is deceptive, since I expected this to be a Why choose/mènage situation, but nope. It was like the author kinda wanted to do a why choose but later decided not to and forgot to erase some of the sentences.
Also, The whole “purity” thing was weird. Like angels are pure no matter how much they sin, apparently, because Raphael was “one of the purest” and yet he fucked around and, judging by his actions in this book, killed innocent people. How is that “pure”? Some of the angels were way more evil than the demons, but they are the “pure” ones? Why? just because they fought for the "right" side of a war? That bothered me. Sure, demons were angels once, but here the freaking angels have more power to instigate sin in humans than the demons, and they use it! But they’re “pure” when the demons aren’t? Again, why?
She was the most special special snowflake ever, and everyone wanted to fuck her or kill her, and I can understand the second, I wanted to kill her myself, but the fucking? Gah! It’s frustrating!
Finally, that ending! WTF happened? How does that work? HE’S A FREAKING DEMON! He’s supposed to be EVIL! Stupid.
The audiobook was good, the narrators did a good job doing different characters and were the reason I finished this at all.
