What did I just read? WHAT DID I JUST READ? Can someone please tell me? Why? Why did it have to end like this? I can't wait for the next book. It's so far away (it's really not, but I need to be dramatic).

Oakley doesn't give an f. She's strong, independent and knows what she wants. And definitely it's not Cross, Zade, Sawyer and Dalton. Or maybe yes? Well, she's in for an ugly surprise because there is a reason why they want her near them. And that reason might make sure that Oakley ends up dead. But while they make their secret plans, she has some of their own. They have underestimated her, and they will have to pay for it. And she'll make sure of that as soon as she can. But after that ending... when will that be?

okay sit down i have things to say
four boys. Dalton, zade, sawyer and cross

Zade is the to be heir to this mysterious society and for that he has to make a final sacrifice, which is supposed to be our fmc's beating heart carved out.

She is no queen. All the stupid decisions a person could make, she does. Her inner monologue got annoying sometimes. She keeps insisting on how strong and a queen she is, but ends up threatening her life whenever she decides to do so. 

There is a plot, and it had so much potential. There is smut and in between the smut and her tendencies to look at these men and feeling weak in the knees all the time, the plot peeks in a little and it's good. I didn't see the cliffhanger at the end coming in at all. It was cool. 


It's reverse harem so you're expecting her to sleep with all them and she does. But they kidnap her, threaten her, there is no reason for her to sleep with them tbh, ugh I don't like her.


There is nothing likeable about these men, atleast in the first book, so why does this attraction even exist I don't get it!

Yet another series ill be obsessed with by this author. I already own two other full series by her so why not make it the trifecta. This was an intense story and sometimes I felt like I had no clue what was going on but I freaking loved every moment of it! I cannot wait to see what happens with Oakley in the next book!

Wow what a fantastic read that is a fast paced, suck you right in from the beginning. This was a heart pounding read and have found that any bbl I’ve read by Sheridan has got me hooked. This is a intense dark read that is thrilling. So far I love Cross and venom as those two are so intense and very dark and give off the dangerous vibes. Their is so much going on throughout this first book that once get to the ending the cliffhanger trowels you off and needing the second book. What amazing start to this series.

Fantastic 5 star read from the first page to that omg cliffy. I have been waiting on this book ever since I read the blurb I couldn't wait to get my grabby hands on it. This book is dark, secret society, suspense, why choose, because let's face it with these 4 hot af guy's Zade, Cross, Sawyer and Dalton you couldnt just choose one, but Oakley soon realizes she wants nothing to do with them as she's trying to focus on school, but they keep showing up when she leasts expect it...to protect her. Hmmm, now why is that? This story took me on one wild ride after another as I got more and more engrossed in it. I literally couldn't put it down. I couldnt wait to find out what was happening next, and now I’m desperately waiting for the next book after that wtf reveal cliffhanger. Absolutely would recommend.

i usually really like sheridan anne as an author, but this book felt very juvenile in writing compared to some of her other series.

In true Sheridan fashion I couldn’t put this down if I tried! She sucks you in from the first page and does not let go until you beg for more.

If you’ve read BoW or Depraved Sinners you’re in for a treat. It honestly feels like the best of both worlds. Secret Society, betrayal, murder, psycho sexy man candy that’s like Burger King you can have it your way, oh and you’re destined to rule or die.

1. I love our MC Oakley ( LOVE THIS NAME BTW!). She’s fierce and doesn’t take any crap from literal murders.
2. The guys are all dark, murdery little asshole you want to tie you to a basketball goal…iykyk.
3. The worlds intertwine! You’ll see!
4. The smut is a hot 3/5

Omg Sheridan Anne never lets me down! I’m always so excited to see her come out with a new series because she is amazing! If you’ve read her books before, you know she always has a tough as nails FMC, men that have you drooling, and plenty of drama, humor, and spice- and this book is no different!

Oakley, our FMC, is just so freakin cool. She’s bada$$ and hilarious and she really knows how to keep the guys on their toes. And omg the guys! They are all super hot in different ways (Cross is mine though, you can’t have him). The spicy scenes between them and Oakley were so hot (2 words- basketball court…iykyk
