LS Delorme

Delorme does an amazing job drawing you in right away, weaving in the supernatural right alongside vivid descriptions of our world. No spoilers, but I will admit, I wasn’t expecting the prologue to be so dark, but it really sets the scene for everything that follows. My heart went out to Amelie immediately, everything she has to deal with, from her family to unwanted attention from adults, was absolutely heartbreaking. The story itself has excellent pacing, and it feels like there’s an show more invisible thread pulling you along from page to page. It was honestly frustrating each time I had to set the book down to deal with real life, because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. This was honestly the perfect blend of dark real life, and hope that was found in Amelie’s dreams. Definitely recommend! show less

Dark, vivid, and completely unforgettable

I loved this book and I’m so glad I read it. Bright Midnights takes everything intriguing about the first book and pushes it into deeper, darker territory in a way that feels intentional and beautifully written. Amelie’s story is intense, emotional, and layered with the kind of worldbuilding that sticks with you.

I highly recommend this read if you like:
🌘dark romantic fantasy with real emotional weight
🖤morally tangled characters who feel show more human even in supernatural worlds
🌘dream‑world elements that actually matter to the plot
🖤stories that explore trauma without losing their sense of hope
🌘slow‑burn, high‑intensity connections that feel fated and complicated

This series is doing something special, and I’m already reaching for the next book. show less

A war has begun.

Limerence is the fifth book in author LS Delorme's enthralling Limerent series and brings more characters from previous books into the foundational plotline. Kara, the creator of the timeline of the story, and her ghostly lover and second, Dante, discover a powerful virus has infiltrated their world, and it must be contained, but even more disturbing is that a number of Cambion and their ghost watchers have vanished, and all trace of them has been erased from The Office's show more computer records. As Dante and Kara search for the virus and their lost friends, they also must look for a traitor among their own people.

This story was immediately absorbing, and Dante was the perfect narrator and mysterious, strong protagonist with a past. His relationship with Kara is loving and protective, and while they are involved in serious, life-and-death events, they are still able to love and banter with one another. Kara is already struggling with being overwhelmed by the stories, faces, and conditions she absorbs from the people she encounters from the beginning of the book, and this affects her and the plot's trajectory the longer she resists Dante's attempts to unburden her.

The plot is in constant motion from the start, which includes a massive school shooting, and readers sensitive to this type of scenario should take note. In addition, spirits and souls are unmade, and previously living beings are unalived. The suspense constantly builds as these things happen, especially as no character, secondary or main, is untouchable. Dante does his best to find out what is going on, save his friends, protect Kara, and get their story back to normal. There is a great cliffhanger ending that promises more exciting story to come.

While this book can be read as a standalone, I feel the previous books should be read first to fully understand and enjoy what’s going on. I recommend LIMERENCE to readers of dark fantasy and paranormal romance.

A town on the brink and a love that shouldn’t be.

Fanning Fireflies is the third book in author L.S. Delorme’s riveting and mysterious Limerent series, and it may be my favorite of the three. Set in 1944, when the entire world is at war, Veronica Crane yearns for a young man going off to fight. But theirs is a forbidden attraction because he is black and she is white. In the meantime, weird things are going on in Veronica’s small hometown of Harrisville, North Carolina. Tensions are show more rising as an all-white, Clan-like organization is gaining ground and members, and Veronica is just trying to keep a low profile and avoid angering the wrong people. But she has a couple of special gifts, abilities only she and her people know about. One is the ability to see ghosts, and she’s seen more in town recently than in her entire life up to now.

Veronica’s story was gripping from the very beginning, and the author did a fabulous job placing me smack in the middle of the action with its vivid 1940s wartime vibe. The racial attitudes of the time hit hard, even as the author carefully avoids using some of the worst invectives of the day. The portrayal of gender behavior and attitudes is spot on and demonstrates why there are stereotypes. The gap between the haves and the have-nots is also clearly pictured, with Veronica making do with what little she has and often going without as she helps her mother and brother get by. But even those acquaintances of hers who were better off were still careful and well aware of how they used their resources. Most characters lived through the Depression before experiencing wartime rationing.

I absolutely enjoyed the magic and the legacy of the Furies; however, Veronica’s special abilities, handy as they turned out to be, were one more secret to keep. I know I’ve said this before in my reviews of the previous books, but the author must have my tastes and interests down to a T. I find her writing compelling and easy to get lost in. Veronica’s very realistic circumstances completely absorbed me. The supernatural and magical elements were creative, intriguing, and unpredictable.

While the story has a lot of characters to keep track of, I loved that some had been featured in the previous books. This novel, like those earlier, can be read and enjoyed without any problems as a standalone. Still, as the storylines are converging, and the first two books were 5-star stories for me, I feel they should not be missed! I recommend FANNING FIREFLIES to readers who enjoy historical romances and adventures with a paranormal element.
