Here Lies #3
Here Loves a Sociopath
Here Lives a Corpse is book one of a five-book series. You do have to read all to understand. Each one ends on a cliffhanger.
We all have demons, some of us know how to befriend them rather than defy them.
They always speak of me… whispers of a devil with a charming smile.
But they don’t know me, what truly lies beneath.
I’m a monster with the face of a boy, married to the darkness, harvested by the past, and saved by none.
My intentions aren’t clear, but the murky water my hopes died in is.
I’ll save her since no one else can.
She’ll hate the process.
They’ll run for their salvation.
The Vestige won’t take any prisoners.
Taking away her choices wasn’t intentional, tying her hands wasn’t permanent, but stealing every part of her that matters was always my goal.
In the end, I’ll demolish the meek castle they’ve built, proving that the fixer will always outwin the weak.
Screw princes and kingdoms.
The devil always played harder and smarter.
She’s mine, they’ve only forgotten their place.

Plot Summary :
The boys and Colt are back! There are so many secrets still left to uncover. So many of them that they all could destroy colt. She knows that bridger is keeping something really huge from her and there is no way she won’t uncover it.
The fastbacks and sudden panic attacks need to make sense for her. Ever since she lost Cass , she has been broken herself. She might have a few of the boys but there is no way she is going to let them play her again. They think they are protecting her , when all they have been doing is to destroy her again.
Her whole life has been a lie and she has no idea at how much of a pawn she is. But now it’s time to uncover it all and of that she has to sacrifice everything then so be it .
Overall Opinion :
HOLYYY SHIT!! I am literally speechless. I mean that twist.. That freaking twist just completely destroyed me! I sort of saw that coming but I was so scared to hope and now when it’s true I don’t know what to believe!. This book is literally my favourite one of this series till now.
All the characters were just so damn perfect. Colt and her boys uncovered something really big in this book. Something that none of then saw coming. And they at least know a lot of things that are happening and they also know that they have a much bigger enemy at play here than what they originally thought.
I would like to mention how much I loved Bridger in this book! From what I read about him in the first two books , I didn't like him that much but holy shit , that man had some secrest! And when they came to light , pretty much the whole story changed. I loved that twist. I feel so bad that I doubted his affection for colt. He literally worships her and that shows!
From the ending of this book , I know that the next book is going to be even more explosive. The author makes sure to keep us at our toes and there is no way she is going to ket us go easy on the next one too . I would expect nothing less . Eagerly waiting for the next one here. This series is definitely a must read for all those Reverse Harem lovers out there. This one has a lot of MM with RH too. It's a bully and a take of 7 boys who are very much in love with a girl who is full of secrets and ancestry that could destroy them all!

I finished this book weeks ago and I still have no idea what I want to say on this review. The only one thought I keep having is that you all NEED to go read this book, this entire series, RIGHT NOW. Seriously, just when you think you know how something is going to go, BAM, new twist!! I love Cassie's dark creative mind, and I honestly did not see it coming how much I would fall in love with Bridger. That unfeeling emotional man is by far my favorite out ot of Colt's harem, and I don't see that changing, ever.
I have been obsessing over that brutal cliffhanger in book two, and I have been counting down the days until I had this bad boy in my hands. I was torn between reading as fast as I could and savoring the dark beauty these pages possess. I am just so in love with this world that this author has created, and I had SO many theories about what might have happened in the past, and what is happening in the present day, and SO many of my thoughts/theories were so spot on, but that in no way took away from the pure beauty of this book. I was still on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading! I literally can't say it enough -- I love this series so freaking much!!
I refuse to give any of the plot away, especially since the books need to be read in order to fully understand what is going on -- and trust me, SO much is going on!-- but this is a book that needs to be experienced first hand as well. The love between Bridger and Colt is so rare, so beautiful and so different than her relationship with all the other guys, but I love how gentle the unfeeling giant is towards Colt. She is his starless, and by god, I loved every minute of their love. If there's a chance that there's only one guy standing at the end, I pray to the lord above that it's Bridger. That's how much I love him!!
This cliffhanger is just as brutal as the last ones, and I NEED book three ASAP. I still have so many questions as to what is going to happen, and to what happened during those 'summers' where Colt would come back a completely different person. There is just so much involved, and my brain is just overloaded with all sorts of possibilities! Ugh, I just love this book so much!
There are some people involved that I know in my bones are being shady, and I can't wait to see how everything will play out. But as long as my girl Colt gets all the answers she deserves, and her and Bridger are the last one standings, I'll be one happy reader! ;)
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**
***************************************************************************
So, I just finished this amazing book, and only three thoughts are circulating what is left of my brain:
*HOLY MOTHER FORKING SHIT BALLS, this is the best book of the series!
*I was totally spot on about my theories, and I can't WAIT to see whay happens. Especially after that cliffy!
*And third -- and most important -- Bridge is my fucking favorite in Colt's harem. I love that unfeeling, emotional man so much & I'm willing to fight anyone who disagrees.
Also: GO READ THIS SERIES NOW!!
**Full RTC once my brain finally accepts all that went down. Hooollllyyyy shiiiitttt what a ride!

***4,5 "Starless!!!" stars***
!AVAILABLE NOW!
"You're a monster," she whispers.
"I've always been your monster, sweetheart."
WOW!!! Cassie keeps surprising me with each new addition in this dark and sinister world that she had created in here!!!!
This is a story that I was anticipating and from the term "sociopath" on the title, I knew that we would get more Bridger and yes, he was kind of an a$$ in the previous books, but he was my favorite and I was exciting to uncover his secrets.
And OMG!!! This boys had so many secrets on his pocket and he left me with my mouth hunging open for multiple reasons that I can't really tell to you!!!!
"I'm a different creature, one she's never going to conquer."
The only sure thing is that many secrets unravelled in here, but at the same time more appeared around the corner.
Someone from above are after Colt and the boys and they are about to ruin their lives forever. They just have to let their differences aside if they want to save their loved ones and themselves.
Things in here were insane. The revelations were leaving you breathless. The pace was so fast that was making you dizzy. The sexiness had risen a notch or ten. New faces and old faces are changing the game for once again....
And in the middle of this mess, Colt is lost as before, but with her boys on her side... Or not???
"We were friends once. All of us. It all changed, and yet somehow, we keep being puched together like some magnetic force of fucked up."
Well, this story never stops intriguing me and I'm dying to finally take my answers to my endless questions... There are games in here that honestly, I can't full understand and i just need more of everything...
Of course, this crazy and unconventional bunch of eight never stops to make me hot and bother, even though my frustration levels on the romance part is out of the world!!! LOL!!! These guys are really giving me whiplashes all the time, but I'm surely not complaining.
"Maybe you're all mine and simply need to accept it already."
"Maybe it's you that's ours, Colt. Have you ever thought of that?"
Bridger in here had stolen the impressions and I knew that this boy was standing very highly for me!!!
And even though it is a little bit confusing all these POVs, I love having them cause I can understand things better...
Another huge cliffy had shaken me up and left me hanging in agony of what will happen after.
"Just like the rest of the Emeralds, you don't get to choose your path, only the way you react to the inevitable."
Even though the revenge harem books are driving me crazy, Cassie had played out very good this story, even with all the frustrations that she is giving me over the too many tangled limps and too many complicated feelings that our heroes are feeling for people that they shouldn't feel in the first place.
What the hell is happening on Arcadia and what's going on with the Emeralds??? What curse is chasing after them???
"Why am I always fooled? Hearts are the damnedest things.
Capricious, without a care, falling for kindness, breaking for lies, and destroyed by reality."

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ!!!!! OMG.....I'M FREAKING SPEECHLESS!!!
"As a reader, we experience stories at our own pace. Whether that's with our own point-of-view or similar to others, we live it at our will alone."
I don't even know where to begin with how EPIC this story truly was. I devoured this book because I couldn't put it down, I couldn't stop reading, I was absolutely immersed! If you thought you knew how this story would go, you are so wrong.....the twists that were delivered were downright mind-blowing, heart stopping and left you gasping for breath.
This series is nothing short of INCREDIBLE and each book gets better and better, digs deeper and deeper into this crazy world, uncovers so many buried secrets and lies while leaving you with more questions than answers. If you expected answers (insert evil laugh) thinking again, this ending just left you with.....WTF just happened!!!

Book 3 in the Here Lies series is here- and you are in store for so many more WTF moments. Here Loves a Sociopath has all of the same dark and twisted anarchy we’ve come to expect from this series- more secrets, more suspense, more corruption, all the kinky who-loves-who now sexual and emotional chaos, and layers and layers of mystery. This series is just a total mind-F - not only because of the shocking elite machinations that keep us on our toes, but because of the emotional and psychological ambiguity of all these characters. Our understanding of them keeps changing and evolving. Book 2 made it harder to know what was real, WHO was real, and just what the real game was. What are everyone’s motivations and who is controlling whom? But we also have the ambiguity of feelings and connections- the relationship dynamics are a tangled, erotic web- you have to pretty much check all your inhibitions. This isn't even RH, it’s not even Poly- it defies classification. Friendship lines are constantly blurred, reestablished, and blurred again- and honestly it’s just better if you assume everyone is fair game romantically. This is the furthest thing from a traditionally constructed romance archetype- CL never fails to challenge our perceptions and unearth our “less acceptable” proclivities. CL Matthews is the queen of turning traditional relationship morays on their head- and this series is pinnacle. This group is a horny bunch- and it’s deliciously taboo and entertaining.
Book 3 lets us focus more on the mystery sociopath, Bridger- and CL has been holding out on us. Can I actually swoon over a sociopath? YES, YES I CAN. Bridger is everything- my favorite character in the series. He exposes SO much, and I’m so happy to finally be closer to him and in his head. I felt like I really needed his POV to help ground me, give me a bit more intimacy, after the complications from Book 2. CL also starts to give us some answers- and a few SHOCKING, literal jaw on the ground revelations that hugely change the narrative of this story, who these characters are, and still have me unpacking. Some I predicted, some I didn’t. The narrative of this also seemed more insulated and focused, and with a sprawling cast and a ton of intrigue, it felt much welcomed to settle in with a few and watch them develop a bit more and also helped recentered this story back on Colt. While I love the unexpected and unusual relationship dynamics, with so many characters and so many couplings to understand, it does mean some dynamics and some characters speak more to me than others- and fortunately Bridger is a total surprise and spoke to me quite a bit.
I have no idea what is going to happen next, but I have about 34098 questions and about as many theories, but I know that cliffhanger is going to change the came yet again. This series is just so dark and deviant- truly nothing like it!

SO DELICIOUSLY & DEVIOUSLY ENTHRALLING!!!
HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE OF THE ENTIRE SERIES!!!!
Every free second I found, I was completely submerged in this world! I'd hide myself inside closets, pantries and even the garage to get even just 4 pages.
This series started out really great in book 1 and I loved it but I swear it's just gotten even more amazing with each book since! This is book 3 of a 5 book reverse harem so if you haven't read books 1 & 2, you MUST read them first. So if you haven't, go grab Here Lives a Corpse and start it today!
The main thing I love so much about this series is that it's not just reverse harem; the plot is intriguing and emotional at times too. You can really FEEL THE EMOTIONS rolling through this book. I'm not just talking about sadness either. I'm talking the anger and betrayal, the hurt and the satisfying moments in addition to the steamy off the charts sex. Everything can be felt and that's so amazing for a reverse harem in my eyes. I don't read many RH books because so many that I've read are physical and hold no real emotions. Not this one, Here Lies series is one that will hook you from the start and keep you coming back every single time. The depth of this story and the secrets that lie within these pages will consume you entirely!
HERE LIES series

This overall story is truly epic in every way each book gets better and better as we get further along and dig deeper and deeper in this dark twisted crazy world you get more questions than answers and when you think you know what’s going on you really have no clue .

The writing is outstanding the plot twists and turns nothing short of amazing and the character development was phenomenal this series is hands down my favorite reverse harem out there and I can’t wait to see what else CL has in store for us!

I want to say I saw all the twists and turns coming, but that’d be a big fat orgy-sized lie. *wink wink*
And then you’re hit the realisation that you have two more of these babies to look forward to. Eeeek!

The whole time I was reading this three things kept coming out of my mouth! Omg, wtf and no fucking way! This series just keeps getting better! I died! This was definitely full of twist and turns and just downright suspenseful and Jesus does C.L. know how to write her sex scenes! Seriously fucking hot!! The first few books I wasn’t really sure about Bridger and part of me hated him but this book changed my point of view of him completely. I loved seeing the boys dynamic and relationship change and evolve and god Ross the poor guy has my heart!! Their were some things between some of the guys that I wasn’t expecting to see and there was just one major moment that had me screaming and I just couldn’t freaking believe it. There are so many things in this book that are just epic. I couldn’t get enough and of course the cliffhangers always kill me and all the unanswered scenarios drive me crazy but it builds up the anticipation of what’s going to happen next. This series is definitely a must read. Pure perfection! C.L. Always brings her a game. When you pick this up I promise you won’t be able to put it down until the last page. It sucks you in that good.

"To her, I'm the guy who never fully committed. To me, she's starless. My dark universe."
Bridger...dear God. He is all in and it is all kinds of hot. The harem scene near the end...I have no words really but it will be nearly impossible to beat the intensity level of that...ever.
"When I tell you my body feels like the heartbeat is everywhere, I mean it. My skin prickles with awareness and need."
I am an emotional reader. I love the deep love story. I love when characters fall in love when they are kids. I love that connection that can be communicated with eyes, looks, emotions, body language. It's knowing a person on a deeper, different level.
So color me speechless that I love Colt with 7 men (well maybe 5, jury is still out on the twins). I can picture them all together. She has the connection I love with each and every one. I don't know how. I can't wrap my mind around it but somehow it just works. And, she needs all of them. It's all kinds of wrong and right and dirty and perfect and complicated and simple.
Now beyond that harem, there is Colt's memory, a baby, a shock, a dad, a murder, several cover ups, a least one million unanswered questions, a few answered questions, and a cliffhanger that might just kill me.
I will be waiting, as patiently as humanly possible for books 4 and 5. I say both because I know I won't feel the calm until the series is complete and I see it all wrapped up in the most unsimple bow ever.
"They can argue, they can fight, but this will happen. Maybe it's unconventional. Maybe we're a bit fucked up. Maybe this will ruin whatever we're building. Not matter which way it goes, Starless, you're my salvation and Ill always be your damnation."

Here Loves a Sociopath by C.L.Matthews
Have you ever taken the time to really look at a Cover?
I love looking at the Covers in this Series so much, it reminds me of the old mystery novels where you can see a story going on, on the cover. Very beautiful & Well Crafted and love the mystery of them.
I Give this Book a 4/5 Star Rating.
Cliffhanger(?): Yes! And it’s clear it’s nowhere near being done and I’m am honestly ecstatic about that. I actually really enjoy cliffhangers now cause to me that means the story isn’t over yet.
Pacing: It is slow time wise, which actually isn’t a bad thing at all really, your getting everyone’s POV and each one is important in their own way. And to me it’s handled very well. ☺️
Relationship Type: RH> Reverse Harem: MMFMMMMM
M/M(?): Oh Heck Yes! And I am so excited about this as well! And I highly anticipated reading more in the next book! 😍
Romance: 3.5/5, it is there don’t get me wrong but everything is still building.
Drama: 4/5
Suspense: 4-4.5-5/5
Dark(?): It’s not really dark to me at this time :)
This book helped me zone back into reading again, I’ve been having more frequent bouts of not being able to zone in and this one was fairly easy for me to focus on. I did have a little trouble remembering everything just for a little bit at the beginning, but then I was able to remember everyone and I just flowed through this story very easily.
Another thing I personally love about this series is the puzzle aspect of this series, I still can’t figure out what is going on and I’m quite entertained by it, that’s I was so eager to jump right into the book. ☺️
I really want to hear this series in Audiobook, I sincerely hope it happens one day ☺️
Looking forward to Book 4!

Slowly getting there....
Where do I start? We continue where book 2 left off. We get some questions answered but then left of course we now have more questions added. Some epic revelations were made known, quite a few actually. One definitely I was expecting.
I saw some character growth in a couple guys. But I do have a few that are my favorite!! Thank goodness it’s a whychoose! Lol!
I felt the pain and sadness with both Ross and Ten! Like my heart hurts! I know the reality of depression and the sinking feelings of self worth and self doubt or ever feeling enough. I felt everything they were expressing. C.L. Matthews made me feel the depths of the characters emotions. And from the authors note we are going to get it even deeper for them both in the next book! It takes a special author to make you feel everything from deep within your soul through written words!!

SO SOOOOOO GOOD
It’s official, I’m obsessed. I mean, I totally was after Corpse, but like, the obsession just keeps growing! CL Matthews is killing me in all the best ways and I love her for it.
You know who else I love? Bridger. Like he’s... perfect. He’s his own special kind of monster, yes, but he’s everything. I do love the rest of the boys in their own ways, but it’s Bridger whose piece of my heart is just a little bigger than everyone else’s.
This is hands down my favorite book in the series so far and I can’t even fathom where the next two books will take us. I better make sure to buckle up because it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.
And the steam in this installment is SCORCHING. Like holy moly I was not READY. I’m surprised I’m not on fire, honestly.
But for real though. This book is amazing. This series is amazing. CL Matthews is amazing.

I'm freaking obsessed with this series. Normally, I'd want to wait until all books are available so I can binge read. But it's too good to wait. Cliffhanger and all, I'm here for it. Loving every minute, holding my breath on the edge of my seat. The Steam is crazy good. The secrets and lies pull you in and never let you go. This book is finally revealing some of it's buried secrets/surprises while still keeping you in dark. I love the guys. They may be toxic a******s who lie and do some pretty shady stuff. But they mean well, which makes them the perfect book bfs. The only one they need by their side is Colt. Speaking of Colt, she's stressing me tf out. Lol. I'm desperate to read the next book.

The Here Lies series literally just gets better and better with each book. As the story continues more secrets are revealed and plot twists you won't see coming! I swear Ms Matthew's loves to keep us on edge and our hearts in tatters, but I'm so here for it. This story is dark and addictive, two of my favorite things about this authors writing. These characters are heavily flawed and far from perfect but they are also broken and each love in different ways. This is probably my favorite book of the series so far. While I knew it was going to end on a cliffhanger, it didn't make any easier. I'm dying to know whats going to have next.

Twists, turns, and mind-blowing wtf just happened moments! You won't be able to put this down. It will consume your brain function and then leave you needing more, but guess what... you have to wait for the next book! Gah cliff hangers give me grey hairs.
April 25, 2021
Oh my bless. I have SO much love for this group of characters. I love how they are as unique as their story.
I cannot wait for the next book.. I just need it😅

This was like damn but boring. I saw the plot twist coming, so yeah it lacked. But it was ok. I’ll read the next ones in the series when they’re out. Toodles!

What the eff did I just read?! Rarely do I find that a series gets better as it goes on, but Here Loves a Sociopath goes against the norm. This book is AMAZING.
The moment that Here Loves a Sociopath landed on my Kindle, I devoured this book, much like I’ve done with the rest of the series.
The twists and turns were insane. One large one actually made me almost throw my Kindle across the room – I was shocked as hell about it! I’m not giving up anything other than this book is one big mindfuck, in the best way possible.
Colt and her boys… man, I love them, well almost all of them. The twins, truthfully, I’m not a fan of, despite the fact that they are important to the storyline. But, Bridger… holy shit, I love him. He knows what he wants and does his best to take it, even if it really isn't his.
I could not get enough of Here Loves a Sociopath! If you thought you’d get all the answers from this book, well you thought wrong because that cliff-hanger… you’re going to be freaking the hell out!

Mind is wrecked. Heart is torn between aching and beating frantically.
Character development is a huge part in this specific book of the series which makes it a highlight for me. Not only do we see growth within Colt, but also with Ross and Bridger and I love these boys so watching them grow is super important and heart warming.
Now, it wouldn't be a C.L Matthews book if there wasn't a huge twist that makes you question your sanity and trust me...its a 'did I imagine that or did it actually happen?!' moment. Let's just say, I'm still gobsmacked about it a week later.
I couldn't have asked for a better book, the character growth was everything, relationships strengthening and blossoming was incredibly satisfying and the plot definitely thickens leaving me, as the reader, desperate for more.

Well I went into this expecting craziness, and I absolutely got that! I wanted to throw my phone so many times throughout this read, it was insane. Chapter 18 especially had me storming off to stress pace. In this book, you get to know Bridger better, and he does not disappoint. Bridger is different than the others in many ways. He’s delicious and I love him for Colt; their relationship grows throughout this book and it was so fun to read!
I can’t say anything without possibly ruining things for readers who haven’t read it yet. So, I will say that this is the most twisted story I’ve ever read. The second Colt and her guys get one thing figured out something comes from out of left field and messes it all up. There’s kidnapping, murder, and so much more. This series is gold, and I am in love.
There’s so much steam and sexiness, which should be obvious when reading about a girl and her harem of seven! And that ending, this one hit me harder than the previous books. It’s a huge cliffhanger, and my heart is hurting. I don’t know if I can make it to Book Four, I need it now!

This book was far better than the first 2. It was more fast paced & we learned alot more about the society & families. The only thing that is different to me is the relationships between the male characters only because most RH, even if there were side relationships, the main focus was on the female. In this series, it truly seems that some of these characters would truly be okay with being with one another rather than with the female character. I think all of the spicy scenes kind of took away from relationship development.

I seriously don’t even know where to begin!! I’m left speechless with this one. If I could choke CL for this cliffhanger I think I’d enjoy it as much as Just enjoyed his choking.
“Hearts are the damnedest things. Capricious, without a care, falling for kindness, breaking for lies, and destroyed by reality.” - Colt
Secrets upon secrets upon secrets. The deeper we delve into the convoluted corruption of the Vestige the more I hate all the parents. Every single one of them. I mean the things they subject their offspring to; these are KIDS...teenagers...not even old enough to legally drink yet they have the worries no grown person should have to suffer.
“At this moment, she’s Colton DeLeon, wife of a prick, puppet to everyone’s making.” - Bridger
If this book showed me anything it’s that Bridger is by far my favorite of all Colts men. Yes I would jump the twins but they aren’t trustworthy. They are starting to look like snakes in the grass. And the others, well I think they rather enjoy each other so I’ll be content to sideline 💁🏽♀️ I’m mean who wouldn’t enjoy THAT view.
“I didn’t realize seeing three guys I’m in love with would make me hotter than being fucked by them all.” - Colt
Saying much more will give too much away but be prepared to get shocked into disbelief and horny enough to wanna jump the nearest available...think 5some 😉
⚠️ there are two stories that’ll give you crazy insight into this stories characters: The Bet from the Society Anthology and If You Want Love from the anthology Heard It in a Love Song. The former is a Grim family story and the later is about Cassidy & Parris in Vegas.
⚠️⚠️This book seems to have more instances of self doubt and inner turmoil than the others. It’s a heavy read. And if you’ve made it to book 3 you already know sexual fluidity is a large theme of this reverse harem, MM+ is common.

Have you ever become so enthralled with a series and a group of characters, that you just feel like you know them and they're your best friends and you just want to keep them safe from harm? Well that's me with the characters in this series. While they are teenagers and I could be old enough to be their mother if I had them young enough, I just want to tuck them into my arms and hide them from all the crap they have to deal with. Like seriously.
When Cassie told me she was writing a reverse harem type series but with her own twist and spin on things, I was like okay. I don't read a lot of RH books anyway but I knew that what she would write, would be beyond epic. And dudes, can we talk about mind being blown? I'm always in awe of Cassie's writing. She grows with each book and this series, the way she paints the images in your head with her words, is something I strive for as an author myself. The details, although simple but smart and unique, leave you being able to see the scene likes you're watching it play out on screen in front of you. I'm simply in awe right now.
I knew that by the time I was done book one that Bridger would be my favourite and I couldn't wait for his story. So when Cassie said that his book was number three, I was beyond excited to read it and she didn't disappoint.
You do have to read these books in order to get the full feel of the story as there are so many layers to each character that get slowly peeled away like layers of an onion as we get deeper and deeper into the story. I can't wait for this series to be done and to read these books back to back.
While we learn more about each character in this book, we are of course left with more questions but I trust Cassie to give us all of the answers when her and her characters are ready. There are so many twists and turns and I can't wait for the next book!
Oh and that certain scene with the 5 of them...wow. Just wow. I won't go into details but trust me, you all need to read this series. This is hands down my favourite series of Cassie's and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

💜💜💜Love Bridger!💜💜💜 He seemed to be the only one that was entirely there for Colt (and Cass), even if it was in secret.
Colt regarding Bridger: "In secret, he'd kiss me. In reality, he'd hide me."
But really Bridger feels: "she's my starless sky. The depths of my soul, if there's anything left of it."
😋🔥Holy hell, their 1st time was HOT AF 📚
Colt: "Will you chase me?"
Bridger: "Always. After all, I'm your monster." 💜💜💜
Again I'm pretty sure this series is one big orgy.🤣They all just want to screw each other. Where as most of the other RH romances I've read the dudes just want to be intimate with the FMC and their main concern is her. Five of guys are bi and seem to be more obsessed with each other and who's screwing who. Rather than worrying about Colt and who she's with. It's seems to be only Bridger and Pru who solely want Colt.
You have:
~ Lux & Jordan and I guess Justice banging
~ Ross & Ten playing around (Colt's sad boys)
~ Ross wanting Lux (and is jealous and hurt that Lux chooses everyone over him)
~Justice secretly wanting Ross (and that's why he's a prick to him)
~Ten and Lux banged in the past
~ Is there anyone Lux hasn't screwed! How can he acted jealous when he's screwing most of the guys and Colt (but not in this book).
All of the guys try to portray themselves as confident and self-assured. But in their inner thoughts they all have a ton of self-doubt and low self-worth.
Ross regarding him and Ten bonding ~ sadness breeds sadness. They always feel left out, never to be chosen. Technically the sad boys are the lowest of the bloodlines.
I think here prays a sinner will be Ten's book.
Colt regarding Bridger: "In secret, he'd kiss me. In reality, he'd hide me."
But really Bridger feels: "she's my starless sky. The depths of my soul, if there's anything left of it."

This series is so good! This book was more than I expected. Books 1 and 2 built up the secrets, lies, betrayal, and foundation. This book gave some answers but also gave me more questions.
The steam in this book is unbeatable. Experiencing the different dynamics and relationships and how they have shifted and changed was amazing. CL Matthew's does an excellent job of ensuring the steam is exciting and hot with variety but also offering that balance where that's not all the story is about.
The adventures and uncovering in between is just as enticing as wondering who's hooking up next. The inner thoughts being shared from each perspective is something else. We see where each persons head is at and their questions and when their loyalties are shaken. I love that while they all have the same goal of protecting Colt, they don't just pretend to be best friends. We experience the conflicts, the pain, the betrayal, the lust, and the heartbreak.
There were soo many shocking revelations, I barely had time to adapt to one before another truth was uncovered. I can say I was unprepared for most of this book and it was a wild ride.
You definitely need to read 1 and 2 before this or you'll just be confused. 1 and 2 lay the foundation and questions for 3. The Emerald's and Vestige are not to be played with. New players have entered the game, old players/families have returned, the fight for control and power is building. Can this girl with a tortured and forgotten past along with her band of confused and tortured lovers take down a cult? Can she even really trust them all?
I am dying for book 4 already. Getting to understand another side of Bridger and have insight to him was amazing. There were definitely things learned about him that were unexpected. His love for Colt is unquestionable though.

Here Loves a Sociopath is the third book in Here Lies series. I'm going to start by saying that I found this book a tiny bit confusing. Part of it might've been my fault, because I've read, or rather devoured, the first and second books a while ago (I think it was still 2020?) and didn't really remember much about the dynamics between the families, so getting into the whole thing again was a bit difficult at first. But also, another part felt like the book could've used more editing for clarification purposes. Now that's out of the way, onto the good stuff, with as little spoiler as possible.
I loved, LOVED the relationships between the guys. I almost forgot about Colt altogether because the fire and hotness between the male characters were off the charts. They're getting real with their feelings for one another, finally coming to terms that their sexuality is not black and white. Lux and Ross specially owned my heart, and I cannot wait for the tension between them to blow up. Bridger was also a nice surprise, we finally see him be a part of the story, his thoughts and desires. His dom kinky side was surprising and entertaining, I loved watching him take charge.
One thing that bothered me just a bit is that the big revelation about a certain character was... I dunno, a bit too early? too rushed? I ended up feeling like it wasn't the right moment for that. We'll see how it will play out in the next installment, but I guess that since everything seems to be out of the way they can focus on building their relationships and memories back so they can fight their enemies.
Also, I loved Mort and want a book about him like right now, thanks!
Overall, not the best out of the three released so far but still a solid series with good potential.

Don't want for it to complete...because once you get a hang of this twisted world Author Mathews has created than other books will never make it for you...Colton, Bridger...Let's just say now I will always have a special meaning to the word Sociopaths because of Bridger...coz...I swooned over him hard...And to think that I didn't even notice him much in book 1 and 2....Author Mathews...You are a genius.
What I loved about this series is its not simply an RH troupe...there are MM, MFM...lines blurred beautifully here so expect the unexpected...because you will never see a typical thing in this world.
I had like a hundred guesses about what will take place in this book but author Mathews crush them with a sledgehammer and a plot which was unseen is thrust upon us...
If a series is ranked on the basis of suspense, secrets and mysteries then this will definitely be on top...
My luck has finally run out...after reading all the three books together now I am gonna be in one hell of a torture with this cliffhanger...Bookhangover Here I come!!!
