💓 Post-Apocalyptic 🛸 Why Choose/Poly 💓 Sleeping Beauty Retelling 🛸 Alien Invasion 💓 Insta-Love/Lust 🛸Found Family 💓 Multiple POV


Ever wondered how to survive an apocalyptic world? What about love?

Hannah: I never imagined that my observations of the Weevil aliens’ arrival on Earth would lead to the devastating life I’ve endured for the last four years. Losing my mother when she was still so young and vibrant hit me like a ton of bricks. My father’s overwhelming grief at losing the love of his life leaves me feeling as if I have lost him too. With the guidance from my “fairy godmother”. Manuel, I take a dose of Trumpet flower and fall into a deep sleep while my world swirls out of my control. I wake up surrounded by faces I’ve never seen before, responsibilities I never wanted, and uncertainty about my destiny.

Theo: Rafe and I were inseparable before the Weevils arrived. Now we try to survive day to day, trying to find food and keep each other alive. After we find a woman who falls into a deep sleep at our feet, we race to save her. Recognizing our mate, we face a new journey—one of protection and commitment. It won’t be easy; nothing is on Earth.

Cassie: I’ve been on the run since I killed the wolf pack leader who had held me captive for the last year. Using me to feed the appetites of his pack and himself, he deserved to die. But being wanted in a hostile world leads me on a race to secure my freedom. Finding a sleeping woman with her protective mates around her sparks my protective instincts. Something I refuse to compromise on is helping those less fortunate.

Hannah and her found family journey to seek answers from her Grandma Charlie and her Great-Aunt, MeeMaw. Both women can see into the future and hopefully will guide Hannah toward her destiny. One that includes all of her newfound mates.

Trumpets for Hannah is part of the Garden of Desire Collection, a series of standalone novels and novellas connected not by story, but by theme: flowers. Each tale features a single flower as a powerful, central symbol, while standing completely on its own.

My Review

If you read Red is for Roxy, then you will enjoy coming back to this world. Although, it is not required that you read book one. I like this world that Meg has created. The Weevils are back and so is Grandma Charlie and Great-Aunt, MeeMaw. So happy to see these two again. 

I liked seeing Meg's take on Sleeping Beauty. She really made it her own and felt modern. The story starts out right away. There are many different characters introduced into the story but don't worry as it is easy to keep everyone straight and what parts they play in the overall story. Love the spice.
