Vivian is not to be underestimated. Her twin brother and his three best friends have always done what they felt was best to keep Vivian in the dark about all the seedy business surrounding the secret society their families have been involved with. They wanted to protect her even when that meant lying to her, hiding things, and even leaving her behind. It was just assumed that she didn't know about any of it and was this delicate thing to be treated gently. Oh how wrong they were. 

By the end of book one Vivian proved just how little they knew about her. In this second book, she is a year into her role as Lordess of the Haven Saints. She's working some devious boss babe magic to set things right, protect her family from a distance, and take down those who have wronged her and those who try to get in her way. 

Ezekiel, Archer, and Hayze are tired of sitting back and waiting. And they are tired of being without Vivi. Some friendly schemes, angry words, and sultry looks later and there might just be some hope. But Vi is determined not to let anything stand in the way of her goals. Convincing her they all belong together will not be an easy mission. 

So much happens in this journey from friends to enemies to lovers. Secrets, lies, betrayals, death, mayhem, surprises, twists, unexpected allies, and so much more. Great dark and twisted read. Some stuff I hoped for while other events I never saw coming. I can't wait to see how things go in the next book.
