Vengeance isn’t some abstract idea—it isn’t some unattainable dream. Vengeance is right here in front of me, and it’s mine to take. 

I had such a good time with this book, and this series! As the finally book in this series, Veiled Vengeance had me by a chokehold! It picks up right where Tainted Truth (book 2) finished and I was stressed thinking about what was gonna come after that ending, but this book did not disappoint one bit. Just minutes after i started reading this book, I couldn’t put it down and i was inevitably sucked right into the world all over again! Something about Ivy King’s writing and storytelling just traps you and sucks you right in, in all the good and glorious ways that a dark why choose romance novel will do to you. 

This was an amazing, gritty & heartfelt ending to Spencer, Zane, Asher & Rio’s story and I already know i’m going to miss them immensely (and then of a course a reread will be in my future). Their relationships with each other & even their entire personality’s and character growth were so amazing to see. A fantastically dark and all-consuming read that everyone needs to get around to. The absolute perfect amount of spice, plot, funny moments, banter, action, plot twists, heart pointing moments & even some good heart-melting and swoon worthy moments from the rugged, grumpy & endlessly-protective men that I can only ever dream of having in my life. I also loved seeing more of Carmen & her men (if you’ve read the series, you know what i meannnnn) — and i’m excited to see what possibilities could come out of getting her story??? i’m so intrigued. (also hello griffin & knox, it’s so lively to meet you 👀) 

The Devils of New York has got to be one of my favorite mafia/romantic suspense series i’ve read this year and I absolutely can’t wait to read & devour what Ivy has coming for us next. 

What to expect in Veiled Vengeance:

💙 why choose

💙 age gap

💙 feminine rage 

💙 diverse characters 

💙 touch me/her & die

💙 trauma & healing

💙 intimate group scenes & sword crossing 

💙 found family 

💙 dark romantic suspense

💙 mafia vibes

please make sure to check trigger warnings before going into this book, and the others in this series! there are some darker elements / sensitive topics that people should definitely watch out for before reading.

Thank you, Ivy King for letting me be a part of this release, and for writing such amazing and gripping stories that make me never want any of it to end! I love this series with my whole heart!
