I’m on my phone though. So I can’t link the review thread here for you. But if you go to the series folder I just commented in the thread. So it’ll be at the top. It’s called the Se7en Sinners.

Whoops. Forgot about this! Starting tomorrow!

[Aly]

Okay! I'm running a bit behind but I hope to start tomorrow

It's okay, I am too. Lol. Life man.

For real. I just want to read and people won't leave me alone ha

[Aly]

Ch 1-8 (view spoiler)[ I like how honest and unapologetic she is. Just telling them she wants to have sex once she's real again and telling them to be in danger so she can save them.
I do feel bad that they started ignoring her and treating her like she's the bad guy. Now that she's saved them a bunch, hopefully they act better towards her. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 9-13 (view spoiler)[ I'm not happy that the guys are still being mean to her and not having any trust in her. She keeps saving them and healing them, what else do they want?
I wonder what was up with the outfit that made them go into a trance? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 14-22 (view spoiler)[ I like Lamar and I'm glad Keyla saved him. And now she can go in and out of physical form which is great! The guys are still being stupid though (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 23-End (view spoiler)[ So many questions about who and what Keyla is. I am excited for the final trial now! (hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part one. Chapter 1-4 - I’ve typed this up three times and keep losing it. So This will be much shorter. 🤦🏽‍♀️
(view spoiler)[

I like how we jumped right into chaos. I hate slow moving books and when I need to force myself through the first few chapters.

FMC is brutally honest, and I already adore her. I love that she keeps roasting Three. Seems like he needs to be humbled. Lol

She somehow saves One. But she’s still not completely “whole”. I can’t wait to find out what she is.

I love the FMC! She's hilarious

[Aly]

Ch 1-5 (view spoiler)[ The trials are fun and I like books with deadly contests. The guys are very lucky to have Keyla, she keeps saving them over and over. Jude needs to get over himself. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 6-10 (view spoiler)[ They survived whoo! Now what I wonder? Will they be let into hell or forced to go through more tests until they're killed? (hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part two. Chapter 4-chapter 13

(view spoiler)[
It’s so odd that she can’t remember any aspect of her existence prior to suddenly arriving to the guys lives.

I love her absolute confidence. She tells the men she will get to experience all of them, no questions asked. No chance to deny her. 😂

I really don’t like kai so far. So smug and not in a cute way.

She’s clearly a badass, and these dudes are taking her for granted.
Her speech to them in chapter 7 got to me. Good on her for calling them out.

So they’re dark angels. Damned ones. And surface guardians. Okay then.

And keyla has healing powers?!!

Whoa. So that’s why they always share women. Interesting. And why did Ezekiel’s eyes turn gold?

(hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part 3. Chapter 14-23
(view spoiler)[
Sh. Mystery man was Lamar. And uhhh is manella NOT the bad guy?! I’m so confused.

Well a lot happened lol. Sooo who is the bad egg screwing with Lucifer and manella??
And why are the men so stubborn? It seems so pointless to continue to fight.

Yes, they need to stop and accept her

[Aly]

11-13 (view spoiler)[ So they are the horseman! And she's the freaking apocalypse! Wow, I'm so happy we finally got to find out about their pasts (hide spoiler)]
Ch 14-end (view spoiler)[ Ooh they finally had sex. And they seem to be over mistrusting her now that they know what she's done for them. I'm excited to see about Paca's deal with Lucifer! (hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part four - end
(view spoiler)[
Lucifer is up to Sometbing crazy.
And I’m still not sure if I should trust manella and Lamar.


There it is. Lucifer IS crazy.
This slow burn is intense. The guys still aren’t touching her or even appreciating her. But it’s pretty clear she’s meant to bond with them.

(hide spoiler)]
Now I can’t wait to read the next and get some answers.

Luckily answers are coming in book 2

[Kade]

Part one. To chaoter 5.
(view spoiler)[
Whew. Keyla is ballsy. Messing with Lucifer???!!!

These trials are no joke.
And finally eaxh of these men are coming around!!!
Bout time they realize they need her and some her some spicy gratitude. Lol

(hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part two. To chapter ten
(view spoiler)[

You know I thought kai would be the one I hated. But clearly Jude is the hard as stubborn one.
I can’t believe how much the guys have been able to resist her. It’s crazy!

(hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part Three. To chapter 14
(view spoiler)[
So is it possible Jude is the most fragile of all?
And I think keyla is Rivht. They’re the four horsemen
So what is she?

Sooo she was right to not trust lake.
How in the hell does keyla die? I’m confused. Then back to life. Soo what is she?!?!

There it is. Paca. Devils dsughter. Seven deadly sins…
Apocalypse is definitely badass.
(hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part four / the end .
(view spoiler)[
Whew. I’m glad we got answers. I feel like the first two books will be hard to beat though. I don’t think the last two will be as powerful sinde I feel like this was the main storyline?
I feel like one of the siblings is the bad guy. If not her.
(hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

What’s been your favorite book in the series so far?
Part one - book 3 .
(view spoiler)[

I honestly feel like I was more intrigued when we didn’t quite know what everyone was. 😂. I feel like now that we know who paca is, the mystery is gone. Yeah I know we don’t know who killed them but that’s it. I feel like she was more badass when I thought she was some ghost hybrid.
But I still want to finish the series.
Lamar being her best friend is cool though.
The only thing I’m currently still curious about is why she has no memories.
There’s not nearly enough sex either. 😂😂😂


Sooo Ezekiel is the first to take her without the others. Interesting. I also didn’t vision him as a blond for some reason.

It’s so interesting that thI dynamic for the harem has changed so much this time around. She truly doesn’t have the same control she normally has. And maybe that’s part of why the men are kind of taking her for granted?!

The concept of all of the siblings being evil people like Lizzie Borden, etc was genius .
(hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I liked book one more than book two. I'm hoping to read three and four over the weekend

[Kade]

Yeah I liked one the most but do wish it had more spicy scenes.

[Kade]

Part two - book 3 . Starting at 26% - 50%
(view spoiler)[
This book is dragging a tad honestly.
I like that they leveled up and got sweet battle outfits. And we finally find out who killed paca
And paca’s jealousy is amazing.
(hide spoiler)]

Yes! (view spoiler)[ I thought there would be a lot more sex since it's a reverse harem. And I agree about the mystery being gone (hide spoiler)]

I thought it dragged too

[Aly]

Ch 1-5 (view spoiler)[ Paca is annoying me a little. The guys are telling her they want her to be part of the team and do things together, but she keeps running off on her own. I know they've been dicks to her, but she also needs to consider their feelings if this is going to work. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 6-9 (view spoiler)[ that was a rough scene, having Paca beaten and thinking Ezekiel died. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 10-12 (view spoiler)[ I'm kind of bored and the whole thing about keeping everything in balance is kind of confusing. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 13-End (view spoiler)[ it was cute when Gage told Pace he loved her. Now the others need to follow suit (hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part 3 - book 3 .
(view spoiler)[
So they’re in a new set of tests? Is this to try to get their memories back?
Damn man. That illusion of Ezekiel dying was just too far. I can’t even imagine how painful that was for her.

It’s so frustrating that they STILL haven’t given her the answers she deserves.

Whoa. Lucifer sticking up for paca? I didn’t see that coming. Sure she’s his kid but when does she ever show empathy like that.

.
(hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

Part 4/end book 3 .

(view spoiler)[

This jahl tbing is insane.
I love the spartan uniforms paca made mandatory. 😂
Her 90s room is badass. I want one. And now I want to play Super Nintendo. Lol

Soo Harold really doesn’t like paca huh?
“ You don’t get to destroy the world as much as you can and have a happily ever after. It’s just an illusion.”. Wow.

Awwww gage loves herrrrrr!!!

And the extra chapter from Kai! My heart.
But why why why do these men not be open with their feelings towards her!?
(hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

The third book was the most …mundane for me. I want to read the final book just to see what happens and if anytbing interest comes up. But I miss the excitement of book one. lol

[Aly]

I totally agree!

[Aly]

Ch 1-8 (view spoiler)[ I wonder if Paca is mad at the guys because they're still holding back on being in love? It's pretty crazy for a reverse harem to have this little amount of sex and for them to still not be a cohesive group in the last book (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 9-16 (view spoiler)[ I don't understand why Jude is holding back still. If he let his soul join hers or whatever is happening, it would probably complete their bond and level them all up (hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

I have to start the final book. I’m slacking lol.

[Aly]

Kade wrote: "I have to start the final book. I’m slacking lol."

The series really peaked at book 1 and the last one is kind of dragging

Aly wrote: "Kade wrote: "I have to start the final book. I’m slacking lol."

Exactly. One was great, two was okay.. three dragged, and i'm sure one will too, but i have to finish it. loll thankfully they're short.

[Aly]

Ch 17-24 (view spoiler)[ Paca's bull Fluffy is funny, especially because bulls are always male but apparently not in hell.
I'm still dying that Jude hasn't fallen in love with Paca. This is dragging out way too long (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 25-End (view spoiler)[ I don't really like that Paca died again and had to reform. She looked different and was less awesome than the version before, but at least she came back I guess.

This series was lackluster, but now it's over whew! (hide spoiler)]

[Kade]

I have to finish the final book. getting on that asap ;x

[Aly]

It's okay. Same as last couple
