Once, I thought I was Unblessed. Now, I know I have a gift. But in my world, nothing is without a price and at Chimera Academy, that price has to be paid in tears and blood.It’s been a couple of months since I’ve become a student at Chimera Academy. I’ve earned some recognition through my efforts and through the Grand Tartarus Tournament. But that progress is a double-edged blade, as August’s … blade, as August’s chimera, Charybdis, remains dormant, unreachable to us.
All of a sudden, August is deemed unsuitable to form part of the Grant Chimera Unit, and there’s very little I can do to help. Straddled with new tasks and classes, I’m being slowly pushed away from my lovers.
To make matters worse, Brendan’s father, King Philip, seems to be showing interest in me and my family again. And my mother isn’t helping, because she seems to think my new gift is a curse, and not a blessing.
I spend every day telling myself it’s nothing I can’t handle. I wake up, smile, and fight on, hoping I’ll be able to learn enough to protect the people I love.
But at Chimera Academy, even the people I trust have dark secrets and the weight of their choices can crack anything. Cast adrift by a terrible betrayal, I’m guided to a different path, one that leads to the handsome and mysterious alien, Jared Glass.
He claims he wants to free me. He calls me his mate. He wants to breed me, to make me his.I refuse to be owned by anyone. I have a goal—to fight and help my people. And I’ll fulfill it, even if it means I’ll have to turn my tears into tungsten and harden my heart into diamond. I am Selene Renard, and I will destroy my own heart to reach my dream of freedom.
Tears of Tungsten is a 78k words feminist sci fi novel, the second book in the reverse harem trilogy, Chimera Academy. Inside, you’ll find plenty of steamy content, including some scenes with an m/m vibe. But be warned! The future is darker than it seems. Don’t journey into it if you’re not prepared for a wild ride.

Eva has outdone herself with this epic second book.
The world building is out of this world imaginative, the characters are amazingly detailed and the plot is to die for.
Every book just gets better.
I cannot recommend this more highly.

Whoa!! I sure did not expect this book to go where it went! It was exciting, intense, suspenseful and CHAOTIC!! Holy bejezus, I swear as I was reading I had to go back to re-read the excerpt. This book is so good it is going to make your head spin. Selene has to start her lessons with her mother now. Well her mom may not be any better than when she was bullied at the academy. But something is going on with Selene and it is a bit scary. The guys are keeping secrets! Everyone knows that is not good inn the long run! Then crap hits the fan and disaster strikes. Oh my goodness was this a huge twist. So happens? Old characters come back? There is a super hot scene with the guys. Watch out for those vines though!! This book was everything and more and I can’t wait to read the next book..

Man, on man. The twists and turns in this book. I find myself saying “No they didn’t!?!” and “Seriously!!” Poor Selene. I won’t run it for you, but this poor girl gets put through it. Never gets a break. Plots and secrets galore. I really don’t even know what is going to happen next. I don’t even want to hazard a guess at this point because I was off coming into this book. Let’s just say, priorities change and while I don’t understand why the character have into them so easily, it will change her outlook.

OMG
I am totally blown away with this book. This book had me hooked from the get go and there was no putting it down until the very last word was read. The story is amazing and will keep you wanting more throughout the entire book. Once you get to the end, you are wanting to read more. The characters are so real, you feel as though you know them and are there with them. You want them to succeed in what they want no matter what they need to do. You have to read this book. It is an amazing read that once you start you will be unable to put down.
I really liked the first book. I LOVED this book! So much happened! It seemed a little slow to start but quickly picked up. I feel like Selene gives in too easily and forgives too quickly, but.. is that one of her best traits? And I loved the ending, where she recognized this, and Sphinx’ original comment of her being too soft hearted, and her need to become ‘steel, tungsten and diamond like her Chimera to face the battles ahead.’
I really loved learning of the Heliads more and hope to see Jar’yds team in the upcoming books. I gotta say too, the scene with the flowers. Whoa. WHOA! Holy erotic Batman!
Really looking forward to the next book and seeing all these competing interests knitting together as well. There were certainly lots of surprises in this book which moved the plot along by leaps and bounds.
