Yuri met the man of his dreams the night the world ended.

The Fracture brought a convergence of worlds, blending monsters, magic, and mortals on the same night Yuri met Star. But Star vanished back into the shadows, a ghost of a memory, leaving Yuri to fend for himself amidst the chaos.

A golden prince, guarded by vampires and fae, arrives at Yuri’s camp. Drawn to the aloof and alluring prince, Yuri soon finds himself captured and blood-bonded to the Master of a floating castle. But the bond unlocks a dangerous magic within him, one that craves power and lust, leading Yuri to devour those around him and feed on the Master's desire.

With his insatiable hunger posing a threat to those around him, Yuri is sent away to learn control with the golden prince, Lucian. As they navigate the treacherous lies and dark secrets of the past, Yuri struggles to contain his magic, while his feelings for Lucian deepen.

Caught in a dangerous web of desire and power, Yuri must learn to control his magic before it consumes him and destroys everything he holds dear.

So very good

The whole premise for this story is just amazing. It’s a bit post apocalyptic, a bit dystopian and dark, but yet also full of the potential for some amazing love that will span the test of time. Yuri meets Star the day the world as everyone knows it ends. The memory of their hot and fast yet powerful love Carrie’s him through and helps him survive the trails that come. This whole series is about what happens to Yuri as he tries to make his way back to Star and has his eyes opened in ways he didn’t know were possible. He will have many love interests along the way, but Star holds the highest place in his heart. These characters are absolutely amazing and Lissa Kasey just has a way of drawing me into the story and not letting me go. I can’t wait to see how this all ends. Yuri suffers quite a bit on his journey of self discovery and transformation, but it is all leading him back to Star.

A great start to a new series.

The world as we know it has ended, monters rule now.

I enjoyed the characters. Yuri is special, he's had to hide his face amoung humans. He is kidnaps by the monsters and taken to The Masters moving castle. He meets theo a seraph and Lucien an Onari there. Yuri stats changing because of the bond with the master. There is an unexpected twist, the hints just didn’t form for me to be “yeah I knew it” I was surprised.

There are some scenes I’m not comfortable with, though the overall storyline is enjoyable. I was not expecting how it ended. I am looking forward to the next book.

First one’s free… like a drug dealer… because it works!

So I guess this is a short story serial. I got the first one free on free book day, then downloaded the rest of the book on kindle unlimited. I devoured it, unfortunately even after reading “book one” it’s not concluded… in any way whatsoever.

I enjoyed the expanding story, loves, and abilities of Yuri. Loved the ongoing long distance romance with Star. Ramu, Lucien and Theo are awesome. Vlad is terrifying.

I just want to know how it ends!!! But I probably never will, because I don’t have the patience to “stay tuned”. I stopped watching The Last of Us at episode four, because I just don’t want to wait for the next part of the story… so I’ll probably move on to something else and forget about Yuri and Star. Too bad.

I like it!

I truly liked it and enjoy it! It’s a little bit unorthodox and may be different, but who enjoy normal all the time. There’s a lot of things happening and throwaway comments that you need to pay attention to understand them later on. But to be honest, I love books like this, that I could immerse myself into them to enjoy an epic adventure. Cannot wait to find more Easter eggs throughout the series! I won’t spoil it much, but like the moving castle, there are a lot of moving parts.😉 Happy reading!

Not my favorite from this author

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023

First for the things i appreciated: deliciously detailed descriptions of all five senses. The beautiful exotic gardens/plants and the food smells were my favorites, but vivid descriptions of all sorts abound in this story. It is full of imagination and the world building is strong.

Aspects i didn't like so much: Lots of repetitive descriptions of the painful things in the MC's past as well as other character's pasts. Lots of repetition about the hoodies of the situation. Long periods without much happening towards the second half of the book. Just long passages of daily life, enduring, worrying, sex, angst, etc but not much plot development in the second half until the end.

This one was too dark for me overall though it has a few magical moments of light in it as well. i won't be buying the second one, but i will still keep my eye out for Lissa Kasey's next books, as they're definitely one of my favorite authors.

Just wow

I've read a LOT of books dealing with angels and demons and apocalypses, and supernatural beings. A lot. But despite that, this feels fresh and new and exciting. And I read it in less than 12hrs. Book 2 has the potential to be spectacular.

Wow... I'm blown away by this unique and creative world.

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023

These are for the set of serials

Night with the Morningstar: Rise of the Fallen Prequel: An intriguing and unique start to a very promising ongoing series! I recommend you read this first before the rest of the books in this series!

Touched by the Morningstar: Touched by a Star: A very promising start to a brand new serial series.
This is part one of a multipart series written by Kaeya Lee, (aka Lissa Kasey). I read this book in one sitting, about 30 minutes. It's a very quick read, but it's very dystopian. The theme/background is an end of the world situation. Yuri is a human who worked as a bartender before the night that changed everything. When the end of the world started happening he wanted to have Star while he could. But! Since Star has the touch of death he was hesitant about touching Yuri, but couldn't resist him his wish.

After that night Yuri wakes up alone with nothing but memories of Star, it feels more like a dream than reality. This book is told in Yuri's point of view, and we get knowledge on how he has been living through the end of the world after it started 10 years prior. Then Yuri gets taken to the Master of the creatures that have descended on earth, and Yuri knows the Master sounds familiar to him but isn't sure why. And it ends with Yuri taking a nap.

I enjoyed this, I think it's a good start to a series. I've never read a book series that's been a serial format before. So while I'm tempted to say it's too short, I have to remember it's the first in a serial and it was just the beginning. There was a lot of world building in this first book which was done very well. I'm curious to see where this goes!

Touched by the Morningstar: The Master and His Moving Castle: The second part in this new serial series by Kaeya Lee. This book continued where the last 'episode' left off. The world building in these short stories is really excellent! I'm really enjoying the works in which these stories are placed in, the characters are great as well. I'm so curious to learn what Yuri actually is, since he's not completely mortal... I'm looking forward to the next part in this series!

Touched by the Morningstar: Incubus Dreams: This is the third 'serial' of Lissa's Morningstar series. In this 'episode' we learn more about Yuri's hunger, and what he craves. We learn more of his monster/creature and what it entails to feed him. Not even a demon master can control him, and due to Yuri's growing hunger; the master has to send him away to keep the Seraphim safe.

I really hope Theo will end up okay, maybe once Yuri learns control they can be together?... Maybe?

I'm looking forward to learning more about Yuri and what type of creature he actually is. And who is he going to end up with?

Touched by the Morningstar: Monsters of Legend: In this one we get to see Yuri in Dracula's domain. Stuck in a magically warded cage with nothing but cruel memories to constantly relive he starts to go slightly mad. He has another dream about Star but is still confused about what he is, and why he's just now getting powers. As his hunger grows, now it's not just magical hunger he's feeling, it's now human hunger as well. I feel so bad for Lucian, yes he's aloof, but he was raised by Dracula himself. A monster who has a cemetery full of suffering souls for his enjoyment.

I'm very intrigued about what's going to happen next, one more to go!

Touched By The MorningStar Enemies and Lovers: I have enjoyed every single serial so far in this series, and I think I enjoyed this one the most. There was so many more details to absorb in this book, we got to learn even more about Yuri and Lucian.

I enjoy that we get to discover more about Yuri and his powers with each book we read, it's really fascinating and so enjoyable!

The background is fantastic I really enjoy the setting this book takes place in, I don't read too many dystopian books but this one is so good. And the characters are so mysterious and intriguing, I just want to know more about them!

I'm eager to read more especially because this one ended with a cliffhanger.

*I received an early copy of this book and this is my honest review.*
