So freaking disappointed

This book had so much potential and it crushed my soul. I was expecting so much from it. Tillie Cole can literally do no wrong in my eyes. I have read most of her books in the last four years. But this was so absolutely horrible. I don’t even know what to say I got to 60% and I just couldn’t read it anymore. It was just so cringy and so rushed , its just not what I expected from her. I was having an outer body experience reading this like someone else had to have wrote this book beside her, because it’s just not possible that she could write a book that’s awful. I skimmed until the end of the book just because I wanted to try and see if it was redeemable. The storyline had so much potential. I don’t know what else to say. It just fell so flat so fast.

I finished this book in a day simply because I could not put it down and this is one that I was seriously waiting to read from the series. Needless to say I was emphatically overwhelmed with how good it. Tears...I was brought to tears. And the intimate scenes are some of the best in the series (IMO).

The way TC proves herself again and again. She's a DR genius and I hope she never stops writing these

It has been awhile since I’ve been in the Hades Hangmen world but as soon as I picked up this book it was like I never left. The plotlines, the characters, the intense love, and the darkness came back to me in a flash from the very first page. 

Sia was a beautiful tragic soul and my heart felt for her. Sia is like the sun trying to fight through a stormy sky to try but just cannot seem to break through. She is trying to bring peace back into her world but it just won’t come until she meets Cowboy and Hush. Cowboy and Hush bring peace to Sia’s life and it is just beautiful. 

Cowboy and Hush have fascinated me since I first met them and this book did them absolute justice. Cowboy and Hush are complex and have so much depth and backstory to them. I loved getting to know their story on how they met and became brothers. It was tragically beautiful and I sobbed. 

Tillie Cole is a brilliant writer and she makes her fictional worlds seem so real. I swear as I am reading the words on the pages it is like I am right there with the characters experiencing everything that they are experiencing. The Hades Hangmen series has a special place in my heart and with each book I read the series becomes more of a permanent tattoo on my heart.

I felt like everything was way too rushed!!!!! I would have loved to see their relationship progress from the first time the boys saw her but whatever. I really only liked hush cuz of his backstory. The smut could have been better like come one u had threesome potiental.

This was everything!! Everything I needed it to be and more!
Yes......it's a M/F/M book.
Yes......there is death and destruction and people going to Hades.
Yes......we get to peek in with the other members of Hades Hangmen.
But......it's so much more!
Hush touched my soul and made me want to heal his!!
Cowboy gave me the strength to get through.
and Sia was the best heroine yet!! (Love all of the others, but she was something new and different and independent and sassy...you get the point)
Their story was familiar in setting but fresh, new, gut wrenching and beautiful all at this same time!!

READ THIS NOW!!!!!

I only have one more thing to say....................please tell me we will get more of Crow!!!!

One of my favorite books from this series. <spoilers>  I was so excited to see Sia/Hush/Cowboy all together, like I was hoping for. Only thing I didn’t like was how short it was compared to the previous books haha
