The Flowers of Lemuria

By: Riley Gipson

Narrated by: Alyssa Thomas

Seventeen-year-old Lilly Claire Masterson has just lived through her worst nightmare: the death of her mother.

Lilly’s life only gets harder when she is forced to leave Chicago and move to the swamps of Louisiana to live with her grandmother—a woman she never knew existed until recently. Soon after, malicious voices taunt Lilly in her head, causing her to question her mental health.

Then an encounter with a stranger entices Lilly with promises of restoring her mother’s life, but first she must commit an unthinkable act.

A mysterious boy saves Lilly from a grave mistake which sends her crashing into a realm between Earth and the afterlife called Lemuria, where reapers trade humans’ souls to angels and demons for magical stones. There, Lilly finds love, friendship, and family.

But to rescue her mother’s soul, Lilly must face her true identity and fight for Earth and Lemuria. Will she and her new friends find the courage to save us all?

Great Characters.

What a wonderful little adventure. I really enjoyed all the different characters. This book is worth the read.

Thomas is the best 🥰 (& the creative world of Lemuria)

this story was so much fun! I love the world building & the creative take on how soul collection is used as a way to maintain power & the concept of whoever ends up with your soul decides your fate. also the beautiful bond between Lily and her mother reminds me of my own relationship with my mother 💖 but the main thing I want to talk about is my favorite character ✨️Thomas✨️ who does an amazing job of keeping Nate in check throughout the story. hoping for a Thomas spin-off bc I miss listening to his witty one liners 😂 overall great listen & I'll be keeping an eye on Riley Gipson 👀

Awesome!

very well written! kept me hooked the whole time! ready for another one can't wait for a sequel
