Review: Harvest Season

 


Title: Harvest Season 

Series: Seasons of Carnage trilogy

Author: Brynne Weaver 

Release Date: June 9, 2026



From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes the second book in the devilishly steamy Seasons of Carnage trilogy where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense—and where love is ripe for ruin.

It’s time to reap what you sow.

Cape Carnage is blooming with secrets, and they’re ready to harvest. But every time Nolan Rhodes digs one up, another grows in its place. Harper isn’t who he thought she was. Arthur might be more sinister than he first thought. And Sheriff Yates? The man is everywhere he turns. When true crime fanatics descend on the town looking for answers about the death of their leader, Nolan finds himself at the center of a search and rescue operation for missing people he knows are already dead. Cape Carnage teeters on the brink of chaos. And the harder Nolan tries to keep it together, the closer Harper comes to unraveling.

Harper Starling has risked everything to bury her trauma in Cape Carnage. But now that Nolan has unearthed her past, her whole life seems ready to break apart. And who can she trust? The enigmatic man she’s falling in love with? He came to kill her. The serial killer mentor she’s vowed to protect? He’s become an unpredictable menace. The woman in the mirror? She might be the most dangerous of all.

Loyalties are tested. Bonds are bent to a breaking point. And love? That might be the deadliest trap of all.

Harvest Season is a dark romance with mature themes. Please check content warnings at the beginning of the book.





What in the French Toast Batman?! 
So Harvest Season picks up where Tourist Season left off & the books must be read in order. 
It follows Harper & Nolan's relationship as it shifts from frenemies with benefits to something more. But as their maybe relationship begins to manifest, dangers lurk around the corner - especially when more Sluethseekers start showing up to investigate the disappearances of their friends. But between the murder, mayhem and a pretty murder bird, & while I bought this book back in July, I felt this book was a fun read to add to my spooky season TBR. 
I love the town of Cape Carnage - it's fun and quirky & I love how they play into their name. I love Nolan & Harper's back & forth in their relationship & the spice sprinkled throughout. I am a sucker for dark romcoms & this series is no different. And I cannot wait for the next book bc what in the French toast was that ending?! I need answers Brynne!!

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds.

After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger.
