FMC: Ellington Asher (Elli)
MMC: Easton Bradley Sinnett (Sin)
A continuation of the Lords series at Barrington University. Sin is a Lord initiate and Elli is the daughter of a Lord family. Their families were friends when they were children growing up. I enjoyed it but know that this book is DARK, specifically the trauma and abuse Elli endures throughout much of her young life. The story is riddled with betrayals from many people - at times I just wanted Elli to run away and never look back. There were parts where I didn’t understand the need for the extent of the betrayal - seemed more cruel than necessary for the plot. The plot is mostly unraveling secrets, exposing trauma, and struggling to forge a life/find a new path that both Elli and Sin want. It is a HEA. You are introduced to players in Carnage in this book too. Overall I liked the book and I did really like Sin, more for Elli than in general. There wasn’t too much actual action, but it kept me hooked to see how the many secrets were unveiled. I don’t have many triggers so I overall enjoyed the story, but it’s very dark. So….check your trigger warnings!! This book contains a lot of them - some of the more explicit themes listed below.

Why are all these characters the worst? I could not continue this one either. I thought I'd give the next book a try because the main male character is in the first book (and is not horrible). This secret society treats women in such an irritating way that makes me hate them all.
Thought I could handle the TWs - I could, in fact, not.

You will either love or hate Sin, there is no in between. His love for Elli knows no limits to keep her safe after he finds out about her past. It will keep you on your toes for one reason or other! I love this series and highly recommend it.

First, I wish this book had 200 less pages. While I lived the story long books drag on for me. Elli was an amazing FMC though and Sin you're a softie
SIN SIN SIN!!! I am so glad I saved Sins book for last ! It had me on edge ! Old girl Eli could not catch a break! Shantel really did her thing with this one.
