She was ours, body and soul, and we would have all of her.
 
📚 Book Review 📚
This book covered so many of my favorite tropes and features: secret society, age gap, enemies to lovers, anti-hero psycho men, dirty kinks, “good girl,” and touch her and die. I absolutely loved it and devoured every word.
 
It’s no joke how this book goes from a simmering heat to OMG, that was hot AF! Did I highlight almost the entirety of Chapters 37 and 38? You betcha! (Here’s your reminder to charge your BOB or have fresh batteries on hand.) 
 
Lords of Darkness ends on a cliffhanger. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
 
🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧
This already spicy book was made infinitely more spicy in this duet narration. Brooke and Michael did a fantastic job bringing Harlow and the Lords to life.

Why are Dark Romances starting to be copy cats of each other? Especially the RH ones
From the first three chapters I could predict exactly what would happen next
Where is the originality?
Seriously
I could take this book, change the names with other books of the same topic and nothing will be new
Let me break it down
1- all powerful all magnificinet all clever Male leads ...check
2- the naive 18-year old heroine (why are they always 18????) Who has a previous trauma and nothing interesting about her except her looks...check
3- for somereason unfathomable, the male leads feel this instant possessive about her...check
4- they start pushing and bullying her ..check
5- she vows revenge but they are always one step ahead of her because she is not smart enough or resourceful enough...check

Book ends at cliffhanger
And I can predict what happens in book2
She suddnely has this revelation that she belongs to them
Sex sex and more sex
Someone kidnaps her
They look for her
Lots of blood
Sex sex more sex
Story end
