3.75 ⭐️ 2🌶️ (But the build up to the spice that I think will be in the second book was *chefs kiss*)
This was a good read and a fun premise. It ended in a cliffhanger that has been scrambling to start the next book asap.
I enjoy the secret society theme more than I thought I would.
I like the characters overall, but I feel like we didn’t really get to know too much about the 4 MMC’s making it hard to have a strong opinion on them. This would be fine for me if this were a trilogy, but because it’s a duology I have concerns about becoming invested in their characters before we are wrapping the story up.
The section where the men decide they know how to fix deep seated trauma and the decisions made around that terribly thought out plan- gave me the ick.
I did enjoy this though and it helped break the reading slump I was having.

I’m sorry the ending I didn’t even realize I finished the book I’m ready for the next
Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
The book ends on a cliffhanger and hasn’t fully ramped up yet. Great chemistry between Harlow and the Lords.
- Age gap
- Why choose, MMFMM with no MM
- D/s
- Possessive MMCs
- Ownership/“ours”
- 🍑 (A/H)
- Dub-con (S/H)
TW for historical rape of FMC
Probably working towards poly and breeding but not there yet. Overall, I’m hoping this is a good appetizer for the rest of the series.

Oh my black twisted heart! Richardson blew this story out of the park. When I thought it was going to go one way, it goes another and I am living for Harlow and her Lords. There is something unique about each of the men and I am so in love what bits we get to see about them. One thing that I am living for is how much Harlow is a fighter. Regardless of what these guys awaken within her soul, she is determined to not be trapped. Her history is heartbreaking but I find the guys make her more fierce and a force to be reckoned with. You literally cannot help hating to love these guys. I want more. I feel like we just peeled back the first layer and now I am dying to get my hands on Lady of Darkness!

Wow
Well damn.
I wasn't expecting that ending. This book is amazing. I know it says its dark but if you've read Candace Wondrak it's not as dark as hers in my opinion.
I loved it though.

This book is kind of triggering. Everyone should read the trigger warnings that the author publishes. This book is dark. Fair warning, FMC was raped at 16 and the guys kinda try to reenact this so she can overcome her demons...
There's almost no character development with the guys. It's like instant lust and they say they're willing to die for her, but like... Why?
