Since Becca is Ava Jades best friend, I knew I was going to love Becca's story! I loved that we were able to see Becca learn how to do things on her own while also being humble through it all. As soon as we met them in the coffee house, I instantly fell in love with Toby and Kate! They are hilarious and great friends for Becca. I was very interested of the interactions between Becca, Hardin and Kaleb

I hate to call this a spinoff to the Thorn Valley Crows because Becca completely owned this book right along with the Kings of Kilborn. Soulless Saint has a totally different feel all the way around and I loved every second of it!
If you are coming into the Saint world blind, which you can jump into this book without having read The Crows, just know that Becca refers to her past from living in Thorn Valley and her friends do pop up a few times. Aside from that Becca Hart has pretty much shed everything from her time in Thorn Valley, leaving everything behind and starting over with a second chance at life in SoCal. Living life on her terms which also means no bad boys or bad decisions. However, bad boys and decisions seem to find her like a homing beacon.
Hardin and Kaleb St. Vincent are the Kings of Kilborn and everyone follows what they say, everyone but Becca Hart that is. Becca is used to being around lethal men and when Hardin and Kaleb walk in and think they can upset her new life...well, she refuses to bow down to the kings. Call them intrigued and instantly infatuated. Their back and forth is great. Becca is one fierce girl having learned quite a bit from her bada$$ best friend, Ava Jade. Becca has come a long way from the naive, rich girl we all met back in AJ's first book and I am so here for it!
While this is still a dark, enemies-to-lovers, mafia book, it still had a brighter glow to it than the world Becca came from. I don't really know how to put a pin on what I mean, except to say this; there is basically an opposite to everything or everyone within this book which seemed to balance the darkness. For instance, Kaleb and Hardin are total opposites. Kaleb is very outgoing, playful and almost tenacious in his extravertiness. If he wants you, he will get you and you will enjoy every second of it. Hardin barely says two words to anyone, even his own brother, but he's loyal to almost a fault, hence his tenacity is focused inward. Spending time with him will be intense and you may make it out alive...but you also might be in a pleasure coma. Can you just imagine the reverse harem now!?! Fanning myself!!
The ending gave a great twist which totally left me panting for more. I can hardly wait for the next book!!

If the previous series taught me anything, it was that I enjoyed reading about brutal, hard men who have that one girl that becomes their strength. Soulless Saints brings Becca to the fore, she's not a tough, take no prisoners, gangster girl hut she is best friends with one! Hardin and Kaleb are both a joy to read, Hardin with his broody darkness and Kaleb with his playboy persona which hides his demons. Together they are going to really make waves and I'm totally here for it! With some cute cameos, a brewing gang war and the mother of all revelations that I did not see coming, this book is hard to put down. Becca brings the fiesty and sassy to the party and it really is part of the perfect equation. Can't wait to see where this goes next!

Man, was this book all kinds of dark goodiness. From start to finish I couldn't put it down I wanted it to keep right on going. If you've read about the Crow's in the Boy's of Briar Hill series then you'll definitely want to get your hands on this new series as it's about Ava Jade's bestie...Becca. You don't have to have read the series, but trust me you'll want to. Becca moves to SoCal to go to art school and finds herself in a whole mess of trouble of the Saints kind when the 2 brother's Hardin and Kaleb are asked to keep an eye on her and they want to do more than that and she just thought she was fasting

I read this book so fast because it hooked you right in.. The characters were brought to life and I could just see this as a live action movie playing out. That being said... I cannot wait to read the next book and see what comes of everything

Read as an Arc in exchange for an honest review.
Finally! Finally! My first 5 star in the new year! I loved Boys of Briar Hall and when I found out Becca would be getting her own series I was so excited. Though I wasn’t Becca’s biggest fan, I felt she would get redemption. And then I saw this was two brothers…oh holy hot d@mn I was sold.
Hardin: Big, tattooed, scary, dark and doesn’t speak, but has very specific tastes in the bedroom.
Kaleb: The younger brother but still big, dark, scary and is a known man whore.
Yep I’d be in to both if I was Becca.
Hardin and Kaleb are asked to watch over Becca by the St. Crow boys and Ava Jade, while she’s attending school at CalArts. Little do these damaged boys know she will become their new obsession. They may drive Becca crazy but only in the best ways. And then drop in a hot Irishman who seems to always be there. Rival gangs, murder, family secrets, spice and all the angst. I couldn’t get enough of this story. Absolutely can not wait for book 2!

Ummm....why???
This book was awesome. Darker than Ava Jane's story but so, so good. The crazy men obsessed with Becca from the get go and I do mean obsessed - be still my heart! Then there is A. Oh it's easy to figure out who he's tied to but after everything I did not expect that ending. I want to say poor Becca but honestly she jyst needs to wake up and accept who she can be. I can't wait for the next book though.

Soulless Saint review
When I picked up this book I had no idea it was a spin off of a previous series. It is acknowledged very early on in the series (Boys of Briar Hall) but I found it made no difference to my reading experience. There is enough information to let you know the game at hand and a vague debrief on the previous series, which now I want to read!
I adored this book. It was dark and delicious with an incredible female main character, Becca, and Kaleb and Hardin are intense, bad boy brothers you can’t help but love.
The twist in chapter 26 my lord I was completely shook but it turned around again and swept me along for the ride! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
