Kings of Eden #3
Ruthless Lies
The dark secrets of my past might just be the end of us…
For a long time, I thought I knew who I was, but I’ve never been more wrong in my life. My father, the Horseman of War, found me. He’s a ruthless, bloodthirsty tyrant, and as far as he’s concerned, the two of us can’t be alive at the same time. So, guess who he’s coming for?
I’m running out of time.
My Kings will fight with teeth and claws to protect me, but what if it’s not enough? What if the men who gave me their hearts will perish because of me?
I have no idea if any of us will survive…
This final fight will be our sought-after salvation, or a savage end to the love I’ve finally found.

A great conclusion to the series!
I loved the way the characters developed in so many ways - all for the better. How nervous they each were to say those three little words.
There's still work to be done to build the kind of friendship I think the kings need to be able to keep all aspects of their life happy and to fully trust each other buy from where they were.... There's definite improvement and theyre on the right path. Eve is a major factor in that.
I'm not quite sure how the spades and Lords of the night were dealt with as it wasn't explained, but I'm assuming they were!
I love how Eves determination to conquer her wild power wasn't quite the way how Aris was taken down, but she needed to do it nonetheless.
A good series from start to finish!

It's been a hot second since I read the previous books in the Kings of Eden series, and I admit I needed a quick refresh. Book three, Ruthless Lies is the concluding book in the series and it went with a bit of a bang that's for sure. This book picks up straight after what happened in book two. Eve's father is still after her, and the other horseman want to end her.
Eve is coming into her powers properly and finally getting control over them which is a win for her, especially when it comes to defeating her father. The steam levels were perfect and the characters were totally BA throughout.
Enjoyable series, and one I'd read again.

Eve’s story concludes in Ruthless Lies. She’s finally growing into her powers and coming into her own. With her father coming after her, it’s just in time.
Eve and her men have done a lot of relationship growth. They’re finally realizing how much she means to them and their dynamic is shifting. Plus, it was nice to see Knox grovel he definitely deserved it for being a jerk.
This series has a lot of action, angst, steam, paranormal activity and plot. It’s a great read.

With her life hanging in the balance, Eve (h) must confront the dark secrets of her past and face the wrath of Ares. But she's not alone. The Kings (H) are determined to fight to protect her, even if it means sacrificing their own lives. As they prepare for their final battle, Eve must confront the possibility that their love may not be enough to save them.
*•.¸♡ ·´¯`·.·★ THOUGHTS
[Dracon]
So, Dracon's relationship with Eve is like a delicate balancing act. He's a possessive and controlling shifter who doesn't like sharing, and he's got this intense fear that someone is going to want to get his hands on Eve too. It's like he's trying to keep her all to himself, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. But at the same time, he's also trying to be all alpha and cool, like he's saying "I don't want to have to rip anyone's heads off tonight" because he wants to keep the peace. And when Eve teases him about being all fierce and intimidating, he's all like "I want this to go as smoothly as possible" - like, he's trying to be all rational and logical, but it's clear that he's just really insecure about his feelings for Eve. It's like, he's got this whole "tough guy" exterior, but inside, he's just a big ol' softie who wants to be loved and accepted. And Eve is smart enough to see right through it, which is why she's always poking fun at him and making him squirm. 💖 It's adorable, actually!
[Knox]
I was pretty disappointed with how the romance played out in the book. The relationships between Eve, Cassius, Knox, and Dracon felt rushed and forced. It seemed like out of nowhere, they were all suddenly in love with Eve and we got three separate love confessions and a sharing scene that felt out of place. It felt like the characters went from barely tolerating each other to declaring their undying love in a matter of chapters. I wished there was more development and depth to the relationships between the characters. It felt very shallow and unrealistic for them to be so in love with each other when they didn't even consider each other a close knit group. I wanted to see more build-up and emotional connection between them before they professed their love.
Knox had a complete personality shift from the start of the series. He went from being this psycho, unhinged dude to suddenly softening up towards Eve. Like, seriously? I was not expecting that at all. In the first two books, Knox was all about being ruthless and betraying anyone in his path. But now he suddenly wants to protect Eve and even admits he loves her. I mean, what?! It was like a total 180 in his character development.
[Cassius]
Cassius's relationship with Eve is a complex one. On the surface, it seems like he's trying to protect her and keep her safe from harm. But scratch beneath that, and you'll find that he's also got a deep emotional investment in her. Cassius has this tough, brooding exterior that makes it hard for anyone to get close to him. But around Eve, he's willing to open up and show his vulnerable side. He's fiercely protective of her, and he's not afraid to stand up for her when others try to harm her. It's clear that Cassius has come a long way from his past experiences in hell. He's still got some demons to deal with, but being around Eve seems to be helping him heal and move forward. He's forming a bond with her that's deeper than just a physical connection - it's an emotional and spiritual connection that's hard to ignore. One of the things that's so compelling about Cassius's relationship with Eve is the way he struggles with his own emotions. He's not always sure what he wants or how to express himself, but he's willing to take risks and be vulnerable in order to be with her. It's a beautiful thing to see, and it makes their relationship feel all the more real and authentic. 💖
[All]
I was left feeling pretty disappointed after finishing this one. First off, the book was only 200 pages long, which felt way too short to properly wrap up all the loose ends, especially the intense vendetta between Ares, the God of War, and the Kings of Eden. The resolution of this conflict felt rushed and forced, almost like the author was trying to tie up all the loose ends as quickly as possible to give readers closure. It all happened within just two chapters and left me feeling unsatisfied. It was a cheap way to conclude the book and didn't do justice to the intricate plot and character development that had been building up throughout the series. I would have liked to see more depth and complexity in the relationships between the characters, as well as a more satisfying resolution to the central conflict.
Eve was still a strong and feisty heroine, but I felt like her character development was lacking in this final installment. She seemed to just go along with whatever the guys wanted and lost her personality. Meanwhile, Dracon, Knox, and Cassius all felt like one-dimensional characters in this book. Their personalities didn’t really shine through like they did in the other books, and it felt like they were just there to fulfill a role in Eve’s harem rather than being main characters in their own right.
Side Comment:
From the first two books in the series, Eve was just barely managing to survive. She had no idea she was a supernatural being with abilities, and suddenly in this book, she discovers she has this super intense power. It felt like it came out of nowhere! And then, she trains for like one chapter and all of a sudden she's ready to take on Ares? I couldn't believe it. I mean, come on, it felt like such a cop-out. I wanted to see Eve struggle and grow into her powers throughout the series. Instead, she just magically becomes this powerful force to be reckoned with overnight. It felt rushed and honestly, a little ridiculous. I wanted to see Eve face real challenges and obstacles, not just breeze through everything and suddenly be ready to take on the big bad guy. It felt like a missed opportunity for some serious character development.

“What Dracon is trying to say is that he doesn’t like sharing. And he’s afraid Marius will want to share,” he says.
“I don’t want to have to rip anyone’s heads off tonight,” he replies.
“The big bad Drac not want to rip heads off? Are you feeling okay?”

[Knox]
“You know what the saddest part is about betrayal? It’s that it rarely comes from your enemy. Those closest to us always hurt us the most because they never realize what they have until it’s too late.”
“I fucked up,” he admits.

“I started feeling things for you that I tried to resist, but I was fucking lost to you, even if I refused to admit to myself. Then, when we faced the horseman, my mind wasn’t screwed on right, the fire of battle raging in my veins, and I had a horrendous lapse of judgment. Fuck, but I hate myself for it. I can’t even make a damn excuse for it because I had gone into autopilot where I only thought of myself, which was how I had survived when I worked closer with the horsemen. Emotions made you weak—Opia had always told me.”

[Cassius]
“Maybe times are changing,” Cassius pipes up. “You aren’t taking her from us. We almost lost everything to keep her from that other jackass, so fuck off.”
“That’s my choice. I won’t leave because I have a life here. And I will help those on Earth. I’d like to think I’ve learned enough from Knox already.”

The Kings of Eden series by Mila Young and Harper A. Brooks concludes with the third book Ruthless Lies which was an enjoyable read.
It was pretty obvious that Eve was strong in will and personality, she's gone through a lot and still survived. However, now Eve is finding her true power as the daughter of a horseman. She's working on her powers becoming stronger than anyone expected.
Things with the guys have fully evolved. Knox messed up and he knows it. I love that Eve wasn't willing to forgive easily (because wtf?) and Knox is more than willing to do some groveling. He's developing feelings that he's not used to but he isn't the only one. The guys finally realize how precious Eve is to them and they are more than willing to let her know. The guys are open and loving for Eve and they let her know exactly where she stands with them. Each of them says those three little words first.
I enjoyed the plot, and seeing a little bit more of the Kings' world. The background of luxurious vampire dens, an old plantation house, and a houseboat also add some interesting tidbits to the story. Plus the vampire Lord, Marius, is back and a dirty little secret of his is exposed. There were more horsemen, a shady AF blood mage, and a beyond-ancient vampire all add to the colorful cast. My favorite scene involves a rubberband that Knox gives Eve near the beginning of the book and was mentioned throughout the story. I kept wondering what was gonna happen and I wasn't disappointed.
Ruthless Lies was a quicker read but still just as great with the story wrapping up very nicely. Things were resolved but the story feels open to possibilities, especially after a little muttering at the end. I would enjoy more stories set in this world.

The ending to the Kings of Eden.
ugh I was so sad to see them go - It was so crazy.
So I was wondering, her and Knox apparently are supposed to be traveling to where they are needed when they are called. But Knox had been trapped on Earth for a millennia without his horse... so why are they so worried? They never came for him... he apparently hadn't been called in all that time, and he can't do anything without his horse. So how will she? She doesn't have a horse either... like IDK. that part just didn't seem to be thought out too greatly because of Knox and his situation, it didn't make sense to what the other 2 horsemen were saying that she needed to do, because all was fine with balance and everything without Knox. IDK I just wish we had gotten more about that.
We finally get to see a scene of them together! Although, it seems like in this book when they were about to get freaky, a couple of times the chapter would end and we wouldn't be part of that scene. It would just go to the next day. I know there were plenty of other scenes of them having sex, but there were a couple where it was mentioned they were about to bang and that's all we got. lol
But the scenes we did get were super smutty <3
Also, is her lifespan like theirs? Because they can live forever apparently... can she now too?
I absolutely loved this series and will be coming back for more by this author!!

Fair finale !
This final book in the trilogy is certainly building up to the final showdown 🙈
Picking up right after the betrayal in the last book, Eve has to find a way forward if she is to have any hope of living the life she wants!
Aris is proving an almost invincible enemy and so Eve and the Kings have to seek external help….but at what cost? And with Eves power ever-growing she knows she’s becoming a greater risk whilst being put at a greater risk 😖😖
Thankfully these Kings finally realise what she means to them and in their own individual ways tell her their inner thoughts 😍😍 and Eves going to need all the strength from her men she can get when she finally goes up against War! 😬 will they got their hard fought HEA?!
A slightly predictable plot at times but still a fair finish to the trilogy!

Ruthless Lies, the third and final book in the Kings of Eden series by Mila Young and Harper A. Brooks is of course the exact ending we all could have hoped for and the perfect salvation for Eve and her Kings!
Eve is the ultimate BA, kicking butt and taking names, and I absolutely adore her! She’s gone through a lot in this series, but now she must battle it out with the Horseman of War…who just happens to be her father. Luckily she’s not alone and with her three kings by her side we can only hope they’re strong enough to come out whole at the end.
I love how we got to watch Eve and all of her stubborn and sexy aF alpha men grow throughout the series, together and individually, and of course loved how they each had their own unique abilities and impact on Eve making for a perfect accumulation at the end!
Overall if you love your paranormal RH romances dark, angsty and full of delicious steam and chemistry then this series is the one for you!

It was a great series and I’m so happy for the HEA that did arrived for our heroes.
Eve did grow a lot through all three books of this series. She frustrated me as much as she did grow, but she came into her powers, into her role and into relations with all three of her Kings.
The Kings did grow as well. They grow into theirs understating of feelings for Eve, theirs roles, theirs protectiveness and powers. Each of them have unique connection to Eve and it was nice seeing them all share it finally with her, supporting her and being what she needed.
Plot twists were pretty predictable but still nice to read. World did unravel even more to us. Steam was on great level. Characters better than ever. However I still felt with questions and I have a feeling this world have more to offer and we didn’t really got all the story and all the answers. Somehow. Dunno, just the feeling.
Still a great series.

Ruthless Lies is the final book in the Kings of Eden series. While the rest of the series was well-paced and engaging, book three fell flat for me. The characters didn't feel like they were giving it their all. There are a ton of steamy scenes for readers who are looking forward to that particular aspect, but the storyline feels like things are put in fast forward for everything else. You wait for the drama to build and develop, and it never really does. I felt like things were missing or that they weren't allowed to really be showcased.
The drama between the characters is scattered and not as cohesive as it was before. It was disappointing, because I enjoyed this series up to this point.
Looking for an HEA? Well, of course, since this is the final book, that's guaranteed. There are some good moments, and there are some okay moments, but this book doesn't come together and hold me to the pages like the previous books in this series.
Soft 4 out of 5 stars.

Absolutely amazing books!!!
Thank u Mila and Harper for writing 3 amazing, brilliant, beautiful disaster books!!! Kings of Eden has everything I need and yern for in a book. Eve is brilliant, I love how she can be submissive sometimes to much, but also a powerhouse that u don't want to cross she weilds choas beautifully. Dracon, Knox, and Cassius are some gorgeous powerful dangerous men. I love how Dracon is a Apex, Knox is death and Cass is a demon. Cass is my favorite out of her men, his demon is ruthless sexy, and powerful I wanted to know more about his demon but if I had to guess I would say he is part incubus. Anyway if u love very very dominant powerful men who have lived for 100s of years one since the beginning and a beautiful loving woman who is power but she is so much more this is the book for you. If u have triggers maybe not but I laughed I cried and I was angry as hell lol I loved every minute of reading these books!!!

In the previous book, Knox the psychotic, left me in awe waiting for a response from The Kings. In an internal battle and with an intense display of feelings and emotions, The Kings accepted what they really were feeling for Eve and were prepared to face the threat that Aris represented to all of them. The intense passion and the need to protect Eve kept them looking for alternatives to face the danger, that was until the confrontation was imminent. It was interesting to me how each of the Kings evaluated his situation in reference to Eve and made a decision. The action, danger and suspense were exciting and kept me reading without stopping, looking for revealing details. What outcome! I loved the interesting and detailed descriptions and narrations that kept me alert, tense and following the twists in the story.

"Never in a billion years had I expected to be living among humans, finding brotherhood with a demon and an Apex shifter, and falling in love with the daughter of my enemy."
A great end to a wonderful series. We see growth from our main characters in this book and finally get a HEA which they all deserve! There are more mushy feelings from the guys in this one, so it was sweet to see them all come to terms with their emotions. Eve gets a grasp on her powers and uses them multiple times throughout the book. The obvious ending of killing the bad guy [a.k.a. her dad].
Reverse Harem - Paranormal - Multi POV - Enemies to Lovers - Four Horsemen - Fast Burn - Spicy

I really like this series, I like the melding of different fantasy tropes with the four horsemen (but done differently than I usually see), shifters, and demons. It has been fun to watch Eve experience this world and learn more about herself as well as the Kings.
The slow and delightful unraveling of Knox has been much awaited and I am not disappointed! I loved all the guys having their own versions of character growth but Knoxs' is a particular favorite of mine. And the spice is this book 🥵🥵🥵 so, so good! There are a couple scenes that will be stuck with me for a while 😉 (looking at you elevator. And you Dracon late at night)
Overall I enjoyed this series as a whole and this final installment especially. Things wrapped up nicely and I was very pleased with Eve and her Kings' HEA.

I freaking love this series and this was an EPIC ending!!!
Ruthless Lies is book #3 in the King's of Eden trilogy. This is a pnr why choose romance.
Every single book in this series kept me on the edge of my seat!!!
Eve is such a baddie! She has been thru hell in this trilogy and still doesn't stop fighting. I loved watching her grow stronger and embrace her power. Knox is my favorite guy in the harem, the way he fell for Eve and his POVs stole my heart. I adore him.
The story will keep you on the edge of your seat, there is non stop action and we get all the answers to our questions. I am so in love with this trilogy and I'm kinda sad it is over.
If you haven't started this yet, go do it now!

The final book in the trilogy builds up to the end battle against Aris, but the journey still isn't smoothening and remains full of obstacles. After the events of book two, there are cracks in the relationships between Eve and the Kings, and it won't be easy for Eve to forgive and forget. Yet facing all the dangers together, and all the steps the Kings are taking to rebuild what was broken, brings the group back together - and they need to join all their forces if they want to even stand a chance.
Very enjoyable and fast-paced closure to the series, bringing the much deserved HEA to Eve and her men. Suspense and steam were well balanced in the book, and the spicy scenes only added more shape to the character development. I really enjoyed this book.

Ruthless Lies is the last book in the Kings of Eden series.
Eve has grown so much on this rollercoaster of a journey that it was fascinating to see her behold her full power. The boys have grown as well and in this last book it is evident how much more vulnerable and open they are towards Eve. All boundaries came crashing down when Eve and her men embraced their true feelings for each other.
Of course, there was plenty of action and anticipation as the series reached the final battle with Ares.
It was a lovely journey and I will miss the characters. I hope there might be a book or series that will focus on the Lords of Night.
Thank you Mila Young and Harper A. Brooks for taking me on such a marvellous journey.

Oh, how hard it was to wait this long for the last part of the Kings of Eden! Finally here and I devoured it in two days! And that's only because I had to work... Eve finally gets completely under the skin of the three Kings. Or, truth to be told, they finally are able to admit that she got them wrapped around her finger. And boy, do they need to fight for their HEA! The book is full of uncertainty, steam, angst, love - you get it all wrapped up in a fantastic story! Dracon, Knox and Cassius have to overcome their bad pasts to be able to give in to this relationship fully - but when they do, there's nothing that can stop them to keep Eve forever!

I always get sad when I finish a series. You find yourself so invested in the characters so I'm sad to see them go. I will say that this book definitely doesn't disappoint so full of adventure, action, suspense, intrigue, angst, and plenty of steamy romance to keep you hooked from beginning to end. My only issue well it's not really a issue but more of a doubt. It's about Opia one of the horsemen. She left me wondering like there is so much more story left to tell. I wanted to know what she meant. Overall fantastic series. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.

This is the third and final book in the Kings Of Eden series, and what a finale it is. I could not stop reading! This series is highly addictive and this book a definite page turner.
The intriguing and action packed storyline is amazing, as is the character growth and development. Eve and the guys are incredible, I absolutely loved them all. I loved watching their relationships develop and seeing just how perfect they are for each other. I also very much enjoyed all the steam. It was so awesome seeing them get their perfect HEA!
I definitely recommend this book and series and am hopeful that this writing duo will write more fantastic stories together.

I have been holding my breath for the 3rd and final installment in the Kings of Eden series because of course book two ended in a massive cliffie and I needed answers stat. This series contains some of my favorite things: multiple POV’s, why choose and fast burn. Eve is finally seeing some growth in her powers thank goodness because dear old Dad is going to be a problem! I love the growth we see in the guys (they finally show their emotions) and I especially loved Knox and his growth as a character. 😍 The book was so action packed that I couldn’t put it down, and though the plot was predictable, I still loved how the story wrapped up. Well done on another completed series.

I have absolutely loved this series and while I was excited to read this final book, I was also sad to see this series end. I fell in love with these characters and their growth throughout the series . Eve is really a great character and I just loved her personality and strength . I really liked the concept and unique take on the horsemen that these authors portrayed in this series. It added a creative twist that was fun and entertaining. Overall I thought this was a great ending to a very entertaining series. Plenty of action, steam and drama to keep you on the edge of your seat!
I look forward to reading more by these authors!

This was a thrilling and quick-paced read. It picked up after the massive betrayal in book 2, so Eve (especially) has many emotions to sift through. I'm so glad Know pulled his head out of his behind and admitted to his feelings. Sure, it's never easy to do, but the dynamic between the group felt a lot more settled once Knox did. The action in this story was exciting, and it had quite a few spicy scenes, as expected.
Aris is...problematic. I enjoyed our bad@ss Eve kicking butts and taking names. At least Eve has her dangerous Cassius, Dracon and Knox. With her amazing guys beside her, who wouldn't swoon?!
Overall, I liked this trilogy!

This is the final book in Eve and her Kinga story. It was a satisfying end to such a unique and enjoyable series. I liked that we got more background on the characters and with this being the final book, I felt like everything was known and came together wonderfully where all plot holes filled and characters explored fully. The story is beautifully written and there was not a slow moment. Every scene added to the plot, characters and the world. It was a fun read right from the start. These authors are such a great combination when it comes to story writing. This conclusion was everything I wanted and more. Great book.

Outstanding Story!!!!!!
The story/series is fantastic. It draws you in and doesn’t let go. I love how much Eve has grown throughout the series and this one really shows her strength both mentally and physically. We do not see as much action in this one but what action is there is amazing as it keeps you engaged into the story. We do see the relationships between Eve and the guys deepening which is incredibly good. The story is extremely well written and developed. I absolutely love Harper A. Brooks and Mila Young’s writing and together it is seamless. This is absolutely a must read and doesn’t disappoint.

Great Conclusion!
This book picks up where book 2 left off. From the start, it grabbed my attention and I couldn't put it down!
Full of action and suspense and lots of steam! The spice was so hot too!! 🥵 There was also a few twists along the way.
I'm so glad that Knox finally comes around and admits to himself and Eve his true feelings. I loved seeing the relationships between Eve and the guys get closer.
Eve's character grew in this book and into her powers as well.
I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great way to end these series!!

The final book of the trilogy. This one takes off right where book two ended. This was a great conclusion that kept me enthralled. I had to know what was going to happen next. Eve and the guys really developed and in a way grew up. And for three males that are not young, they are a demon, a dragon and one of the horseman, it takes a lot for them to grow past their problems. The relationship between her and them evolves as well and things get insanely and oh so good hot. Eve has faced so many trials and pain but they have made her stronger and able to take on even the horseman of War.

Book 3 and the final in Young/Brook's Kings of Eden series. This book is the perfect ending to a fantastic series. It has everything I could have hoped for and more! This series has been full of action, adventure and danger...twists and turns...and of course some steamy chemistry! A wonderful paranormal, reverse harem with character and relationship growth all while overcoming any and all obstacles. Eve and her Kings deserve this HEA and I loved every second of it!
