HOLY SMOKES
This book!!! I devoured this book in a DAY!!! I was seriously sucked in from the first page, I love RH because there are so many different characters and back stories that it just adds so much more depth to a book! I am OBSESSED with all of these guys and this story it’s so interesting! I am glad I don’t have to wait for the rest of the book! SOO GOOD 10/10 highly recommended!

Whoa. That was a fast paced ride. It has a level of darkness (dub/con, non/con) that I usually don’t like, but it fit for the story and I still enjoyed everything. Make sure to check TWs.
I really enjoy when there are psychos in the group, and this book has it in spades. The guys are great, they range in the crazy spectrum and I love that.
I really like the FMC (though at the end there she acted kind of dumb, lol).
The audiobook was amazing. You know it’s going to be a good time when Bridget and Jake Bordeaux are narrating, plus it’s duet.
I highly recommend this book and if you love listening, you have to pick up the audio version.
This was a second read through, and I’m not sure why I didn’t continue the series the first time!
Overall this was a great read and I can’t wait for the next one.

I genuinely don't know how to rate this, so im playing safe and going 3. But this was definitely a case of overhype and I am underwhelmed. Although I didn't hate it, I was confused and frustrated so let me list why.
▪︎What genre am I reading? Who knows.
I was wondering whether this series was fantasy/paranormal given the references to the seven deadly sins and for a hot second I thought ok they're THE sins. But no, just a coincidence that 7 men have the exact traits of each sin and just happened to find each other. Who are all so fucked up that all it takes is one look at Haliee and they're magically all cured when they're around her. Again I thought maybe some magic at play here? Apparently not. Bit weird but I ran with it.
▪︎Besides Lukas and Mathais, what do the men even look like?! I am a visual reader, I need full descriptions or I can't get into the story and then I lose interest in the men.
▪︎They decide to become judge jury and executioner to the trash of the world yet they have a rapist stalker in the harem? Makes sense. But wait, its fine because his obsession with Haliee means he can't actually hurt her... I read the trigger warnings, I knew it was a darker romance and I have no issue with Non-Con in a book but NOT from a supposed harem member. And yes, she stabbed him but seemed all was forgiven literally a few hours later. He barely got a slapped wrist from the guys.
▪︎Did this book have an editor? Because I logged so many typos and errors my thumbs got tired.
▪︎And finally, what the fuck was that ending. Skip this section for spoilers because God damn Haliee is a fucking idiot. Like *no one* can be *that* astute and yet so fucking stupid at the same time. She calls Ollie telling him she knows the mafia men are outside her house watching her even though she can't see them. She overhears an argument between her boyfriend and dad and hears her bf lied to/omitted information to her which he's never done before. So what does she do? CLIMBS OUT THE WINDOW AND RUNS TO THE WOODS WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR HER. Which she literally just called Ollie to say she knew were there... and he's watching on the cameras as she's literally SHOCKED when she runs into the mafia men... I have never seen such stupidity and contradiction in one scene before now.

I love RHs. I love a really dark romance. I enjoyed this book but I won’t be continuing the series. It was okay, but it seemed like this book is a set of puzzle pieces that don’t fit together, specifically the characters. Think of all the tropes and cliches you usually see in a super fluffy YA romance and then just randomly add “dark” characteristics to the characters and situations to make it a dark RH romance. It’s a good premise, just not a great execution.
