HOLY REVERSE HAREM! Siobhan did it again! If you loved The Sainthood series or any RH books, you will LOVEEE this one especially if you like your books to keep you on your toes! Ashley is a queen she is naughty, wickedly intelligent, witty and loud as ever in bed! The men are fire especially Ares and the plot only twists and thickens. The series is not complete as of yet but the amount of mystery, drama and bad boy will have you wanting more!

I picked this book up because of the way it was marketed on Insta. I DNF’d at 30% but picked it back up again a few weeks later and finished. Ares is the only good thing to come from this book. However I was pleasantly surprised at the plot twists at the end. Enough to convince me to read book 2.

Steamy, steamy, oh so steamy, and all the dark and dirty, twisted up plottiness in this amazing new secret society series.
Siobhan has blown my mind with this new Luminary world. Plus, she didn't just create a dark and depraved world, but it's interconnected, in these little ways, to several of my other favorite worlds she's created that made my heart burst with joy every time they were mentioned.
Ashley is the center of three men's world, but those three men do not all get along and they all have their own secrets. The secrets throughout the book not only tear relationships apart, but they also bring others together. It's great and tore me apart all at once!!
While this is a why choose book, it's not quite cut and dry. What am I talking about? This isn't a typical reverse harem where all of Ashley's love interests have been friends for years or have grown up together. Her particular situation is very unique and I totally loved their dynamic which not only spiced up the tension, but also made for lots of a new plot twists. I switched on which guy I was rooting for, at which point in the story, multiple times. I LOVE when Siobhan does that to me.
This book is full of so much and yet it's only the first part of the story. I'm dying over the cliffhanger and can't wait to return to find out how it all ends!!

After the first chapter I wasn’t sure I was gonna like this book but I stuck it out & im so glad I did! Trigger warning there is minor SA in this book. I gave it 4 stars simply because there are no trigger warnings about the SA & that could be traumatizing to some people. However despite that this book is so so good! The characters are great, relationships have wonderful chemistry, the sex scenes are super hot & full of glorious dirty details, & the storyline overall was just fantastic & kept me biting my nails trying to anticipate what was gonna happen next.
