My first read by Elliot Rose, and I am in a chokehold (actually, I'm pinned against a glass wall by my throat). I am now forever an E.R junkie.

A curvy bad ass FMC, 3 dangerously dark and delicious MMC's and a dark secret society to boot. What's not to love?
I devoured this book, licked my fingers clean, and I'm asking for seconds!!

Set in the dark and sultry world of Port Macabre amid the secret society known as the Anguis, Vengeful God is the epitome of dark romance. It’s hot, it’s gritty, the enemies-to-lovers revenge romance featuring three ruthless, morally grey, poly love interests was enthralling, and the suspenseful plot featured breath-taking twists and spice. I felt a strong connection to all four MCs—FMC Foxglove and MMCs Thorne, Kyron, and Raven—and I appreciated the thought and care put into their individual experiences and journeys. The intense physical chemistry between the MCs encouraged each of these strong, fierce individuals to be vulnerable in ways they’d never truly allowed themselves to be in such a cutthroat, vicious world, and the romance that develops or, in the cases of the MMCs, expands and deepens, was deeply emotional. Someone better grab a mop and a bucket because I have MELTED into a swoony puddle of feels! I’ll definitely be obsessed with these four MCs for years to come.

Holy smutballs wolf man! Walking the fine line between smut overriding plot but it walked that line so well.

Each of the mmcs was so different, the scenes didn't feel repetitive which was a feat considering how many there were!

Secret societies are a thing I didn’t think needed to be on my preferred trope list but here we are 🤣 I found Elliott through her Crimson Ridge series (contemporary, forbidden, age gap) so I didn’t know what to expect from her dark romance offerings. This is WAYYYYY different to CR. Even her writing style is almost unrecognisable. Cannot wait for the second book to drop 🖤
