Smutty, delicious, all focused on our fabulous frisky foursome. How could it get any less than 5 stars!?

[Justina Staniforth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot, hot, HOT!!!
After Vengeful Gods quickly became one of my favourite reads, this novella showing more of Fox, Thorne, Ky and Ven’s lives together is like the icing on the cake :)
If you’re after super spicy short tales of what comes next - you will devour this like I did in a quick, spicy sitting.

Well.... I got the scene I was begging for from book 1 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
Thorne and Ven... their duo scene was just everything and more! Ven allowing himself to be vulnerable (and a bottom 🌶️🌶️)

This was such a great steamy little novella to round up their story!

[Jourdyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

The one and only thing missing from Vengeful Gods was Thorne and Ven exploring their complicated relationship… This novella satisfies that and so much more! Literal perfection!

[Shannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so glad I didn’t have to wait long after reading Vengeful Gods to get more of Fox and her men.

This was such a fun, quick read, and it was made all the more exciting knowing that it’s their HEA so you can just enjoy their sweet and steamy interactions with one another without worrying about sneaky Anguis shitbags lurking about ready to ruin a good time. It had me all kind of giddy being able to see them all building their connections with each other in different ways.

Ky and Thorne, squeeeee!

Thorne and Ven, oh my lordy lord!

The Woods!? THE FRICKING WOODS?!!
I am a puddle on the floor, what a dream!

[Teela (bookdragontee) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Who would have thought the most romantic thing to happen to me today would be getting stuffed into the trunk of the car belonging to my men.

And they say romance is dead 😉

This collection of HEA-themed vignettes was a perfect treat to tide me over between Vengeful Gods and Macabre Gods. I get more of my favorite trio of men and their Foxglove - just all of the fluff and feels... and yes, the spice too.

[Tamarra Lynch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fox, Thorne, Ky, and Ven are deliciously sinful and oh so wicked, with each other. Their love for each other is strong and unparalleled. They are fiercely protective of their family and know how to take care of each other, fulfilling their needs, wants, and desires. This novella was a great companion to their story, and alas, whilst I will miss these characters, I can't wait to see wherelse they'll pop up! Highly recommend both the author and the book.

Foxglove, Thorne, Kyron, Raven: A Happily Ever After Novella dedicated to the characters of Vengeful Gods , giving readers a five part glimpse of life with our favourite four getting to live their best lives.

This was a fun quick read and kind of like a check in with Fox and her men.
If you enjoyed Vengeful Gods then you’ll love this quick, sweet and spicy novella

[River · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was so excited For this book. I’m not sure but for me it just fell pretty short. I’m learning I only like degradation in certain specific ways. Just straight up degradation I don’t think is my thing. Like the inclusion of My little *insert something here* I love but without I’m finding I don’t like it as much. Overall I just wanted more from it.

[Ashley Villa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I kicked my feet for this whole novella 🥰

Foxglove and her men are just perfection. Seeing all the different layers of their HEA gave me so much joy…

And there are A LOT of spicy moments mixed in with the sweet.

It’s the perfect addition after Vengeful Gods ♥️

[iam_cubanqueen · Rating 5 out of 5]

well well well

I loooove this but I'm super sad its finished. They all love each other that's all the spoilers I'm giving. Grab yours and run do not walk you'll thank me later.

Very well written as usual Darling Elliot eat and left no crumbs (Unlike Kay)
short and steamy devoured in few hours.

[Lauralee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly, I think I would read like 19 more books of these four.

[Meghan Hemstedt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot, hot , hot , hot 🥵🤤

[Roksy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Deliciously smutty and fluffy, this ultra spicy novella takes a peek into the happily ever after being enjoyed by the four MCs from Vengeful Gods: FMC Foxglove and MMCs Throne, Kyron, and Raven. I loved how the story highlighted the individual growth of the characters and how their relationship has strengthened since the events of the main novel—seeing them settled and so in love was the sweetest treat.

Part 3 - Holy fuuuck. If you know, you fuckin know lol.

See my review of Vengeful Gods for my little blurb review about this lol.

[Morgan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I rarley, if ever rate smut heavy novellas this high but I just love all the characters so much 🥹

update -
What a lovely little smutty epilogue Novella, no drama, no threat of death. We just get to enjoy these characters and I for one loved it. I have said it once and I will said it again. Elliot Rose crafts characters like no other. They are all so endearing and addictive no matter how dark shit gets. My shining star throughout this Novella was Raven. He is finally able to let his walls down somewhat in here, and it’s so lovely to see him let himself just be a normal person and enjoy his life. I would never say no to more of his story, his pov is really something else.

Do not get me wrong, this isn’t all lovely dovey. This is smut heavy and I’m not usually one’s to rate Novella of this type so high, but as previously stated I just love all the characters so much, so I cannot help it. Even Ky, who is typically my least favourite character prototype, can do no wrong in my eyes.

But yes, the Smut. Thorne and Ven we’re inevitable, I am so happy, screaming from the roof tops happy that we got to see this play out. If you listen really carefully you can hear cheering with absolute unabashed glee while reading ‘Mr.Callino, I’m so sorry, but there has been a problem with the rooms you have booked .” from where ever you may live. I wasn’t completely on board with Ky and Fox having a hand in this, as I said this was inevitable, so I think this could of come to fruition without them having there sticky fingers involved in it, but I was happy with the end goal either way.

The whole novella was just a perfect epilogue to Vengeful Gods. If you have read the book and your pondering reading the Novella. I am telling you now, you are doing yourself a disservice by not continuing with this little story.

Spoiler-Free Review: Foxglove, Thorne, Kyron, Raven (Port Macabre #1.5) by Elliott Rose
Foxglove, Thorne, Kyron, Raven is a companion novella in the Port Macabre series that expands on the dark, suspenseful world introduced in Vengeful Gods. Elliott Rose delivers a tense, atmospheric story that deepens character backgrounds and relationships while maintaining the series’ signature mystery and edge-of-your-seat tension.
The narrative focuses on character development, alliances, and the psychological stakes that make the main series so compelling. While shorter than the main novels, it enriches the world and provides insight into the characters’ motivations and dynamics.
This novella is perfect for readers who enjoy dark thrillers, suspense, and morally complex characters. Foxglove, Thorne, Kyron, Raven is a gripping, atmospheric addition to the Port Macabre universe that enhances the main story while standing well on its own. 🖤🔪
