Sadistic Mates: A Dark paranormal reverse harem

Sinful Mates #2

by Jessica Hall

This is Book 2 of the Savage Series, but can be read as a standalone! Book 1 is Sinful Mates.

My name was enough to send most people running. Those that didn’t were fools, for they would feel my wrath. I am the King of Darkness. The Dark Tribrid is what they call me. Destruction is what I am and what I am known for. Countries have fallen by my hands. A world changed by me and the blood I spilled. People now feared the dark, feared the Dark Ones. For decades, I roamed the earth struggling to find meaning, and that was how I stumbled across my mates. At first, they feared me. By then, everyone had heard my name, not a country left intact as I made my way through each one, trying to figure out my purpose. Then there she was. I thought I was complete until I met her. Evelyn Harper, the light in my darkness. I wanted her, craved her. She was human and perfectly made for us. Evelyn is everything I never realized I desired and exactly what I was searching for. The moment I laid eyes on her. I knew she would be ours. She just didn’t know it.

It is also Reverse Harem , which means the main female lead has more than one love interest and no, she doesn't choose between them.

But if you are daring to come along for the ride, I promise it has a happy ending if you can get past the bad stuff. Let's face it, all Dark Romance has tough parts or it wouldn’t be Dark Romance without it.

Best Things About This Book
- NO degrading/sexism towards women, or calling them “sluts” and “whores”. NO OW were even mentioned!

- NO stupid miscommunication scenes where the entire story could be solved had they just talked to each other

- I love that after Thaddeus humiliates her she is strong enough to resist the men when she goes into heat. She was in a lot of pain, but most fmcs are too weak and cave into sex when the men don’t deserve it.

Summary:
Evelyn is being attacked by a man in an alley when Thaddeus (a Tribrid) and Ryland (a Lycan) smell her scent and recognize her as their mate. They follow the scent and kill the man, letting Everlyn leave as they can see how terrified she is. The men send Orion (a Vampire) the third mate to watch and protect her as he is much older, wiser and more in control of himself. He eventually follows her to her trailer with Thaddeus and Ryland, who all trap her and take her to their home.

The story follows Thaddeus constantly being taken over by his dark side when his emotions get too intense and his cravings get too strong (which usually ends up in Evelyn almost dying but being saved by Ryland and Orion). He works harder to control himself for her than he had for anyone else. He has tortured Ryland and Orion (locking him up for 2 years and draining his blood) previously but both were forced to return to him due to how strong the mating bond was.

A secondary storyline follows Evelyn’s past foster family where the Father (Derrick) raped her repeatedly for a year. She eventually set fire to the house and thought it killed him (which we later find out isnt the case). Lana carefully watches over her foster sister Lana who she had to leave behind and thought the foster mom (April) would take good care of her.

I have mixed feelings for Thaddeus as he has literally tortured Ryland and Orion who have done nothing to him. He is going through a lot, and we see his past childhood (the main characters of the firet book sinful mates are his parents). Overall I just really loved the story and I’ll likely be re-reading it

Great Story

This is a fun story with vivid erotic parts. Really hot! But be prepared to mentally insert words, delete words, and add punctuation because the editing is terrible. Would be a world better with even poor editing. But still with the read if you don't mind doing the mental tricks.

Love

Couldn't put the book down loved the story line and I'm so glad Thaddeus finally gave his dark magic up after the baby... well maybe they will be a book for Amara..

3,5⭐️. I generally liked it, but there some parts not so much. I just felt like there didn’t happen so much and the sex chapters were kinda long, and that kinda sucked but it’s whatever. I also didn’t like the control Thaddeus had over Evelyn a few chapters in the book where he ordered her to wet herself in front of the as a «punishment». I also think it kinda was a waste for Amara to die only for her to wake 2 chapters later, and it was also stupid for them to call their baby Amara, I didn’t quite like that. But I liked that we got to know what Evelyn changed to. Her other mates are named Ryland and Orion. They messed up sometimes but I feel like Thaddeus was struggling the most because his power was so strong. Lastly I feel like many things happen but they didn’t get many chapters each and I feel like their expulsion have been more books just with describing the scenes more like I already feel like I forgot that April tried to kill Evelyn and Lana dying and turning into a vampire. I just think that there could have been 2 books instead of one. The first with April and Lana drama and the next book with pregnancy drama.

Semi-dark reverse harem that ends with the bad boy changing his ways. Author writes well. Book told from all 4 characters POV separated by chapter. 3 eternal being claim the human female as their mate. Names escape me.
The premise of the story revolves around their relationship. Female is mated to the males and resists at 1st. I like the complete power shift btwn F/Ms. I also like how uncontrollable the alpha male is. It did get a bit sweet st the end when alpha male relinquishes his magic for the sake of his family.

Very well written story. The first book had more emotional trauma, but this story still got to me. I wish there had been a bit more character development with Thadeuss. We jumped from him being a baby in book one to him being the dark, evil king in this book.

I hope there will be more story development for other family members.

Another excellent story.

As you have to buy this book and it's not KU I suggest waiting for the edit. The story however does make up for the current condition this book is in. It does duplicate one chapter and excludes another chapter all together. It was bothersome for a moment but then you get right back into the story line.

Sadistic mataes

In this novel, there was no explanation why the darkside has rise, the story line didn't go through, there's no explanation on how Binaca became good, what happened with the father, what happened with the hunters and the samples they collected from the baby, how the hunter said why he won, what happened with his magic, if he can control his dark side? Too many questions and no answers

This book was a bit of a rollercoaster! I enjoyed how the story came around and there was good character development. I'm anxious to read the final book in this series, especially after reading the teaser! 😬

Me encanta el final

Holy moly!

I disliked the first book to be perfectly honest. Lol but this book with Thad, Ryland and Orion...it's absolute perfection! I loved their dynamic even though I did hate Thad for *****SPOILERS*****


making her pee herself and then made her stand there...I was so over it then. But he did improve as time went on. Ryland is also a very odd character - claims to love Evelyn but then allows her to get hurt by Thaddeus. Orion even though he's older, bends to Thaddeus' will even though he disagrees with what Thad does. I enjoyed these characters more than I did with the 1st books MCs and they definitely have their own brand of toxic just as with the first book but I enjoyed how this one was setup as it was immediately multiple POVs instead of how the first book was mostly just Imogens POV.
