I have to say this book was unbelievably gruesome and horrific at times, but then it's a dark if not pitch black story and I for one loved every word every page in this book.
What started out as a hidden romance ends up as righting a wrong for something that was done to a loved one and Ember couldn't have picked a better person for retribution than Lunatic Luther. He was always getting into trouble for his destructive behavior when he was younger then he figured out how to hide his crazy, but now it's come out to play and he's got his sights on Sevyn and her group of friend's who he blames for the death of his sister and vengeance is going to be served for all those involved.
I couldn't wait to get my hand's on this book when I first found out about it and I went in blind not knowing what was going to happen and I'm so glad I did, because it made everything that much more intense, raw and gritty and I loved it all. I love these kind of stories where payback is served on those that get away with thing's.
I couldn't put it down until I read the ending that ends on a cliffhanger. I never wanted it to stop, so Ember please hurry.

The Destruction of Sevyn was a very dark and angst-filled story and I loved it.
Seven and her clique of friends have a very dark past where they caused Logan, a friend, to commit the ultimate sin. And for seven years they have all lived with their choices and their contribution to this horror.
Now Luther has decided to make them pay for those choices and the payment is devastating and extreme. His wrath is very real and he looks for the peace with what he inflicts on this group, but especially their leader Sevyn. Friends turn on friends, lies and secrets are revealed, and the havoc is reaped on these cruel people.
This story is dark, tragic, and unforgettable. And it was written so well that I recommend it for those who love to read dark stories.

My favorite dark author!

““I am sick,” I admitted. “But you and your clique of bitches made me this way. Payback’s a mother fucker, isn’t it?””

The revenge a brother gets after his sisters suicide...
Ember Michaels is the most creative when it comes to killings. That’s what makes her dark writing so damn entertaining. She really knows how to make you cringe.

This is a fast paced AMAZING dark ass book. Yes it leaves on a cliffie but read it anyway. It’s awesome.

I give this book a very dark rating. I give respect to the writers talent. Clearly the writer can cultivate and create a thrilling, dark story that had me anxious to find out what was the cause of issues in the book. I found this book Riveting and psychotic at the same time. All in all the book was good.

Important this book contains dark triggers. Please be advised.

HOLY FREAKING HELL Ember!! You have done an amazing job at creating this world where revenge and vengeance are top priority. I will say Luther is not a man that I would ever think about crossing or going against. His mind will give you nightmares as he is as dark and twisted as they come. His diabolical mind and his methods he uses to quench his thirst for vengeance will leave you thirsting for more.
I will say this book is definitely dark and really twisted, but as you will read Luther is out to set the wrongs of his family right. Retribution is all he sees and all he cares about. Now with this being said you will need to prepare yourselves for the mind f#$k that Luther is about to bestow on you. Keep your minds open and know that secrets are going to be exposed the pain from the last seven years is going to reek havoc on everyone involved. Prepare yourselves for the vindictiveness that Luther is about to divulge to you!!

I was beyond curious to see how the author was going to top what she created with the Bennett series. To say it is something beyond twisted, cruel, epic and down right mind blowing is an understatement. Honestly, if you are not a fan of really dark and depraved stuff, I do NOT recommend this book. There are multiple triggers in this book so proceed with caution. But if you are a twisted individual who loves all kinds of stories, even the messed up ones, I would recommend proceeding! I like them once in a while just to mix things up.
I love getting some twisty messed up stories but what Ember Michaels created is something that will linger in your mind for a long time coming. The history between Sevyn and Luther is deep. It is raw, intense, heartbreaking and so much more. But due to what happened between Sevyn and Luther’s sister sealed her fate. As we get flashbacks in this story, you feel the depth of why and how things played out. The pain that not just Luther endured for so long but also the guilt that Sevyn lives with.
Overall, this is a twisted story of revenge that leaves you breathless. The build through the story and the lies and truths that are exposed make your head spin. There are moments of what just happened as well because I did not expect them. What I really enjoyed is seeing how much this author's writing has progressed and the depth of her imagination. It is dark and twisted. That much I can say. But overall, the concept is unique and will leave you asking yourself “What did I just read?!?!” And I can totally imagine what the author’s search history is like!
