Blurb:
I’m an outcast and a loner, named for death itself. Fate wasn’t supposed to have plans for me.
But then she came back—the girl I once kissed in a thorn-covered chapel in the woods. She came back, and I could no more resist her than I could pry out my own heart. And by some trick of fate, she wants me as much as I want her. The only problem? She also wants the man who owns Thornchapel, Auden Guest.
And so do I.
Eight years ago, I did something to Auden, something terrible. He hurt me back the only way he knew how, and so here we are: our hatred seasoned with pain and my loneliness seasoned with longing. The only thing we can agree on is Proserpina Markham, and she wants us to find a way to be together—all three of us.
If Auden wants to earn her as his submissive, then he has to earn me as well.
But with the discovery of bones behind the altar and the carnal revel of Beltane fast approaching, it’s becoming clear that Thornchapel’s secrets are much deeper and older than any of us could have ever guessed. And no matter how bright and merry a feast of sparks may be, it’s always followed by ashes.
And darkness.

Excerpt:
Shame, hot and prickling, needles everywhere at my face and chest and belly as I begin to bend down to the floor. The cool air that caresses my pussy is now everywhere as the position begins to expose my most secret flesh, and there’s no pretending away the reality of what I’m doing. I’m doing something I’ve never done before, I’m offering up the filthiest part of me for inspection, and despite everything the three of us have shared in the past twenty-four hours, I’m flooded with shame. It’s real shame now, not play-shame, and my safe word floats to the top of my mind, a buoy in the clear waters.
Convivificat.
I don’t want to safe out right now, I’m nowhere near the edge, but it’s nice to have it there all the same. Reassuring. There’s nothing they can do that I can’t stop.
And anyway, this is who I am—who I’ve been growing into ever since I found the words to define it.
My Thoughts <3
4.5 Huge Stars! I have read romantic suspense and dark romances and some freaking dirty and psychological stuff, but I have to say that this series knocks me off my feet and spins my head round and round.
I am usually not a fan of 3rd person, but Sierra Simone wrote so eloquently, I hardly even noticed it. There was still a subtle switch between characters but focused primarily on the POVs of Saint and Poe. It was nice to learn more about Saint and his story and just what makes him tick. This man has so much freaking heart and has felt completely unlovable in this huge world.
We find out more about Thornchapel too, but NOT enough! It is becoming clear that this is not just a normal house, there is definitely something MORE going on, but it is not clear what. I like what the author does with festivals and ideology and Gods and how things are put in perspective, it was quite interesting to read. Combine that with all the SUPER FREAKING STEAMY scenes and I am a huge fan of the book and series!
All in all, this book is erotic, dirty, carnal, questioning, informative, heartfelt, and a little horrifying. It is well written and thought out and I am eagerly waiting for the next installments of the series-- because a HUGE FREAKING BOMB WAS DROPPED. I need to know what is also going down at Thornchapel and see if our 6 can stop it, or even if they want to stop it. If you like things more on the erotica side with an interesting yet sinister splash, this is your book!
PS: Thank you to Sierra Simone and Candi Kane PR for providing me with an ARC of the book in return for my honest review.
