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.
