LORDS OF DARKNESS: AMANDA RICHARDSON
*check trigger warnings*
This book was INCREDIBLE. Quite possibly in my top 5 reads of 2022. Amanda is the QUEEN of writing amazing reverse harem’s and this one is by far top tier.
Harlow is brought back to England by the death of her father; a man she barely knew. Her plan was to come help with arrangements and finally meet her two year old little brother and stepmother. What she didn’t expect was that the men who killed her father had planned to keep her, allowing her to take his place in their Lordship. She had to make a decision to sacrifice herself OR give that responsibility to her innocent younger brother, which she could not do. Not only is her life uprooted, she is slowly seeing how dark and twisted these 4 men really are.
HOLY CLIFFHANGER. Thank the LORD (pun intended) we only have to wait a few weeks for the final book in this duet.
Happy release day @amandawritesbooks! So honored to be on your team and be able to read this ARC.

I really loved Harlow. She was such a great, badass female character. She stood up for herself and took no shit. And Gideon, Sterling, Alaric, and Theo??? They were dark and possessive in just the right ways. These are morally grey men, and I adored them.
The pacing was nice, and my interest was kept. It was very easy to devour. The storyline was interesting and unique. That cliffhanger? That hurt me. It was wild and dramatic in the best ways.

I won't lie, I was skeptical at first. I had never read this author before, but had seen a couple of her other books recommended... However, this was the one I had downloaded on my kindle ages ago, so this was the one I was going to start with.
I'm happy to say that I actually really enjoyed this book. For me, it started a little bit slow which had me initially wanting to put it down, but once I pushed through a few more chapters I was absolutely invested.
While this book is a reverse harem, but 1 did not really read like it because it focused more on the society aspect... so it couldddd be a book that's enjoyed by those who do not enjoy why choose... just know book 2 is group scenes galore lol!
Definitely an enjoyable book, and I moved on to book 2 immediately.
