A review by adris_bookstory
Thieves and Thorns by Scarlet King

5.0

Super steamy dark RH

This book is the first in a new duology from Scarlet King
It follows Rory, a dark witch, who we see escaping her crippling past and abusive ex. She has no one left, all her family dead. The only thing she can do is rebuild her grandmother's cottage and try to live a normal life on Earth.
Then she plots her revenge, but she needs a special family heirloom to enact revenge, and to get it she must steal it.
This action introduces us to our gloriously addicting men.
Darius, Ezra and Conan.
Darius is an incubus from Hell escaping his own demons, while Ezra and Conan are sent to investigate Rory.
They're all so guarded but drawn to each other. The tension between each individual is perfection.
Rory doesn't know how to trust anyone with her heart, Conan is cold and detached, Ezra is trying to understand himself, while Darius wants to break down Rorys walls but he can't seem to break his down as well.
There is hot filthy sex between the individuals and the group. The tension in their fights and disagreements just add to the scenes they each act out.
This book is not just sex, there is a mission Rory is on and these men want a part of it. There are also sweet and tender moments I did not expect from this group. It also shows the harrowing truth of trauma and dealing with the PTSD that comes with it. Our FMC may be strong but there is also strength in her struggles.
I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down, it had me gripped from the start.
Be warned this book ends on a cliffhanger! Check your trigger warnings, if your a dark romance reader then give this book a shot! MFMM- Contains MM scenes
