Ma il suo cuore non è solo per lui. E questo Jeremiah non lo manda giù. Mentre i Dannati lottano per non perdere la testa e il controllo delle proprie vite, Jeremiah e Sid continuano col loro tira e molla che li porta sull’orlo della rovina, tutto in nome di un amore malato e contorto. Mentre loro combattono, Lucifer Malikov aspetta. Ma non aspetterà a lungo. E una ragazza feroce e malvagia, che li sta a guardare nell’ombra, inizia a vedere in Jeremiah Rain quello che vede in sé stessa. Un’oscurità che non può essere estirpata. Una malattia da cui non si può guarire.

My stomach literally fucking hurt while I was reading this. It was hard to get through at times, because I was scared about what was going to happen to my babies, particularly Jeremiah. I cried, and even the day after, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I cried a few more times, too. All the feelings! 😭 If you're a fan of this series, you can't miss this book! It's going to fuck you up, but it's going to be worth it.

I wasn't going to read this but I did because I wanted all the spoilers🤷 and I don't know anyone who has read this series yet. But it was a super disappointing book. You would think, that in the FOURTH book, the couple would finally be fully established and faithful but nope. All it is is jealousy, cheating, sharing, having a threesome with a previous heroine and hero, more cheating, cheating to make the heroine jealous, orgy, and having another threesome with OM. I have a hard time with authors who label and write their heros as SO possessive just for them to share their heroine with their friends and be completely fine being with other people. The hero legit gets jealous the other hero, that he had a threesome with, touches the heroine's collarbone, but since the moral of the story is that sex heals, and what's the most mature way to go about dealing with insecurity and jealousy problems? Orgy/gangbang time! They all decide it's a perfect time to have an orgy for some stupid initiation. But where did his possessiveness go during it?🤷
Nope. It just doesn't make sense. And literally this whole group shares with each other, even the hero calls the heroine a slut all the time, and yet he has like panic attacks just thinking of her being with the OM (even tho they all have a threesome later), enough for him to start cheating more. Sharing may be for other people, and I don't mind it in erotic stories, but it's hard for me to believe they are really IT for each other when they are so willing to be with other people, especially now that they have actually cheated on each other too.
What makes this all worse, is the heroine is preggo AND married to hero. She had just left the hero because she has issues herself, and issues with the hero and his cocaine addiction and they have big time jealousy and insecurity issues (I'm sure the sharing helped that) so she cheats on hero with another guy (Jeremiah) who is also her foster brother. She doesn't go all the way at first but there is tons of emotional cheating. I actually think I liked him more than the hero, BUT he's definitely not hero material either seeing as he had sexually assaulted her in the past, and just about fcks another woman right in front of her, right after showing her that her husband, hero, was cheating on her. Meanwhile, Lucy over here is high all the time and being a manho, and we get descriptive scenes of him with ow too, and him with OW in front of heroine, the same ow who is his "childhood best friend" So we have this back and forth of them all screwing other people up until 90% of the book, where everything just solves itself🙃
All of this happening in the last book, and all of the cheating after they are already a couple, completely ruins the series for me. Their growth should have started happening a lot sooner than at the very end of this book, which wasn't enough at all. The writing was decent, tho def OTT but this entire story pisses me off. People might like it if they are a fan of BB Reid and PD, sharing, cheating, fake-possessive heros, brother and sister fetishes, and tons of OW/OM drama, but it's def not for me.

First let me start by saying I have no idea where this review is about to go. Formulating words for this story... these characters is.. hard.
This series and characters are so real to me. I’ve never been so invested in my life.
Hands down most anticipated read.
I beta read in July and just finished my reread before release of the final copy. And I. Am. Shook. I am not okay.
KV ruins me. Every. Single. Time.
So here we go.
Lucifer. Sid. Jeremiah. This is their story. And it’s not pretty. It’s messy. It’s volatile. It’s HEAVY. There is so much pain. So much grief. So many betrayals. Hatred. Stupidity. And I could try to think of more words, but you get the point.
But there is also fucking love. So much of it. And it may not be the kind we agree with. It’s toxic. It’s angry. It’s broken, but it’s them.
KV delivers the emotion, the steam, the darkness. Everything we fucking love about her stories, we got it here. You will cry, you will rage, you will laugh, you will cry again, but I also think you’ll walk away content.
I was on the tips of my toes through this entire journey. I’d tell you to prepare yourself, but you can’t. Not for this one! Just go in blind! Experience the heartbreak and magic that KV puts to paper!
** I usually try to leave some quotes but I highlighted the whole book so yeah lol.

Isn’t this supposed to be Jeremiah’s story? It was literally just a continuation of Sid and Lucifer’s mind-numbing push and pull romance. The only role Jeremiah played was to be a pawn in their games and be used by selfish Sid (really can’t stand her) only to be rejected by her. Again.
I’ve been binge reading this series, but I think this will be the last one for me. I loved how dark and gritty it was when I read the first two, but after reading the third and now fourth I feel like 90% of these books is just these guys growling about how they don’t want anyone else touching their women but then proceeding to pass them around to their friends. I don’t understand how you can be so over the top possessive to the point of wanting to gut anyone who touches or even looks at your partner but then willingly let other people have sex with them in front of you. I did love how messed up and angsty the characters were. I loved how tormented Lucifer was, his desperate need for Sid, his cocaine addiction. I love gritty characters like that, so that wasn’t the problem. Lucifer sharing Sid over and over again, Maverick sharing Ella, etc just really didn’t work for me when we are supposed to believe they are ‘extremely possessive’.
This one also solidified my hatred for Maverick and Ella. Maverick gave Lucifer so much crap about fooling around on Sid behind her back, but the first thing he did to ‘help’ Lucifer after she left him was kiss him and shove his d*** down Lucifer’s throat while his own girl had sex with Lucifer. Umm...? Just, no. I also found it interesting that Sid found out about all the women Lucifer cheated with, including Ella, but Maverick was never mentioned even though he had sex with Lucifer too. Did it not count just because he was a man? In the book Lucifer said Maverick was to him what Jeremiah is to Sid, and it showed based on how much he enjoyed sex and affection with Maverick. I always appreciate up front warnings for things like M/M scenes because not everyone enjoys reading those. So that was another negative for me.
I did give 2 stars because I actually liked Jeremiah’s character. I liked learning more about his horrible past, and I felt like he was the only character in the series who was truly possessive to the point of not wanting to share. I really felt like he loved Sid completely despite what he did to her. He was dark, fucked up, violent, obsessive and twisted, which is my kind of H. I started off a huge Lucifer fan but this book killed that for me and I’m totally team Jeremiah. It just would have been nice for him to be the star of his own book.
It’s a shame because I like the author’s style, and I love how she pushed the envelope with so many things considered taboo in this series (addiction, knife play, cults, incestuous undertones). As a dark reader who likes my stories pitch black, this series has all the ingredients to be great but just falls short for me. There were so many things that didn’t work. Sid and Lucifer were the true main characters of not only their books, but Maverick’s and Jeremiah’s as well. And that really hurts the character development for the other characters in this series… and it feels like there are dozens of them. There was just too much going on here. Too many relationships and feelings between too many different people all at once. This whole series is basically one giant orgy to the point that all the characters are starting to feel like the same person. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be continuing.

Jeremiah, Sid and Lucifer. I knew how much it was going to hurt reading them, but I wasn't ready for it to break me like it did. The three of the most complicated, reckless, painful, broken, freaking brilliant characters I've ever read. Their journey has been one incredible ride throughout the series. Intimate. Intricate. Dark. Angsty to a whole other level. One of a bloody kind. KV Rose has a talent for writing books that rip your heart out and make you ache every-where.
Ngl, I was curious about the dynamics and the overall plot in the first book, fascinated in the second, completely invested in the third book and then Idek what to say, smitten? Captivated? Riveted? The way each of them moved me. Hell, I'm still hurting for them. The secondhand emotional trauma. I can only imagine how much it must have impacted KV while writing it, so thank you for giving us this masterpiece.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐠𝐨."
When I say fictional wringer, read twist your guts out and still make you fall in love with every aspect of every relationship in this book.
Lucifer. I loved him and hated him and then loved him and sobbed. Sid, can we just take a moment to appreciate the resilience and depth in this woman. She's messed up and has a whole hell worth of demons that makes her who she is. She still fights. Still goddamn fights. Yes, that needed emphasis. And Jeremiah fucking Rain. Beautiful, damaged, pained soul that he is, he has my heart in a vise grip and I don't regret it one bit. He's one phenomenal phoenix rising from the flames of hell to create his own damn hell. I can't wait for every minute of its unfolding. Me and Jeremiah are visceral

//Okay but in all seriousness, Kv's writing is honestly my kind of writing. Subtle and nuanced, dark with an undercurrent of...more. It's like the phrase romantic murder yknw. Even that doesn't fully cover it but it's kinda close, not that close but it'll do until I find the right phrase. //

K.V. Rose has done it again, ruined me. I have never been so invested in a series before. Boy of ruin is book four of The Unsainted series. The series is not stand-alone and should be read in order. I have counted down the days for this release and have never been so scared and excited to read a book. You know you are reading dark romance so that it can go any way, and there are no guarantees. So far, this is my favorite book in the series.
K.V. Rose did a phenomenal job writing this book; I could feel every emotion. Angst, betrayal, hatred, love, grief, to name a few. She delivered a dark, twisted., insane, demented, and taboo book.
Boy of Ruin is Lucifer, Sid, and Jeremiah's story, which is messy and heavy. I have never been a big fan of J. However, I now have some love for him. Since we now have a better POV of him. We now know more about his past and how he ticks. There were times I was yelling at all three of them in this book. All three are broken, somewhat put back together with emotional and physical scars.
I have not one negative thing about the writing of this book. Rose always colors outside the lines, and this is why she is one of my favorite Dark Romance authors. So grab a snack, a glass, or two, or maybe a whole bottle of wine or whatever you drink and enjoy the emotional rollercoaster.

So, I seem to recall writing a review for a previous book in this series, and although the details are somewhat hazy, I think I said something along the lines of “Lucifer is my guy, Jeremiah lovers back off...blah blah blah”
Yeah, well...about that...
YOU GUYS!!! I went over to the Darkside! J owns my heart now - don’t get me wrong, I love Lucifer for Lilith but my man Jeremiah freakin’ Rain needs to finally get his own HEA and I will be here, ready and waiting for the day that book happens.

Fair warning - before starting this book, find one of those stress relief balls to hold on to so you don't damage your kindle, a fresh pair of panties, a couple bottles of wine, and maybe a box of Kleenex (if you suffer from that weirdo thing they call empathy or whatever it is that makes us sometimes tear up or cry when reading).
This book literally had me from page one. Finally, we get to see what makes Jeremiah Rain tick. I just love him even more now. And that ending. I'm still processing.
Actually I think I'm still trying to process everything that happens in this book. I don't think I'm going to be okay until this series is over. No, that's not true. I'll probably be in mourning then. WTAF is happening to me?!?
These characters have all been through so much. There's not much good in any of their lives. It's why they are the way they are.
I love this book so hard. It's got everything I want in a book... characters that I can't get enough of, a storyline that delves a little deeper into the cult backdrop with each installment, and so much tension and drama that I just can't stop turning the pages.
This is one of my absolute favorite contemporary dark series. Talk about a book hangover. I need the next book now.
I love the multi POVs. It allows us to follow each character's logic and internal struggles making the whole
Trigger warning - this is a KV Rose book. You should know the deal by now if you are reading this or plan to. If not, go start with These Monstrous Ties and catch up.

Ma come fai ad illudere i lettori in questo modo, scrivendo post e pubblicando storie DA MESI, dicendo che il libro di Jeremiah stava arrivando, che era pronto, che era tristissimo, e poi mi piazzi 500 pagine con quei beceri di Sid & Lucifer che, lui tira coca da mattina a sera e piange manco fosse un neonato (ogni capitolo piange, porca puttana!) e lei che ovviamente deve sempre essere la troia titanica che ha già dato prova di essere sin da These Monstrous Ties. Ah e non dimentichiamoci che litigano e urlano ad ogni capitolo e lei non ha ancora smesso un secondo di scappare, mi hanno veramente bruciato i coglioni. Non so neanche quanto tempo ci ho messo a leggerlo, forse un mese, non ne potevo più di questi due. E Jeremiah? My beautiful boy? Avrà giusto 10 capitoli su 50 in totale. Un oscenità. Io ora vorrei proprio sapere se anche in Order of Rain mi devo ciucciare quei due perchè altrimenti concludo qui la mia storia non d'amore con la serie Unsainted e magari anche con l'autrice - a cui a quanto pare piace aizzare i lettori per fare $$$ e poi te lo piazza in quel posto, perchè proprio non ce la fa a staccarsi dalla sua gemella Sid. Ridicolo, assurdo, manipolatorio.
J, this is for you 🖤 (e le tre stelle, anche se te ne meriti mille)

“Brothers forever at war, I only wanted to be the white flag.
But I’m not that. I’ve never been anything so pure.
I only get one, because they’d kill each other before they shared me.
But I can’t let either of them go.”
Im sitting here with tears rolling down my face and I’m not a person that cries easily. It’s all because of the deep emotions that only KVs writing can elicit.
I have loved these characters since Book One and am greatly invested in their journey.
Sid is hurting, lost and scared. “Better to leave than get left.”
Needing to find freedom but also wanting to be protected and loved.
Jeremiah has tried to save Sid since they were young and hurt by several people. In this book we get to see more of his past and why he is so broken and intense. He loves Sid and only wants her.
“But you’re mine to look after.”
Lucifer has loved her since their meeting at the intersection and “flinch”.
However he is ruining their relationship with his destructive behavior.
He just wants her to fight for them and their love.
“It’s about how you always chose everyone but me.”
This read was all consuming and heart breaking.
It is emotionally charged and I had to stop and catch my breath several times.
KV’s eloquent writing keeps you engaged in this dark, layered, suspenseful, and unique story.
And the agony of the complex characters will stay with you long after you read the last sentence.
“We’re all the same, the three of us. Born from demons, haunted by devils.”
KV Rose has become a unicorn/ one click author for me in all things dark.
NA. Dark. Abuse. Violence. Multi POV

How anyone is finding the right words for this book is fucking beyond me. My mind is blown to pieces and I feel like I am still spiralling. Boy of Ruin has left a mess in my head and I’m not sure how to glue it all back together.
The character arcs in this book are a masterpiece. We learn about Jeremiah and Lucifer and their reasonings for what they have done and we get a glimpse of their shared history, but fuck if this book didn’t leave me with more questions than answers. Though that’s one of K’s fortes, you know? Some puzzle pieces start to click and some don’t. And somehow that’s what makes this series so goddamn good. There’s a subtle overlap with other books, but not in such a way that it interferes with the story.
But shit—my psyche is all upside down and inside out. BoR is for sure one of the most complicated love triangle stories I have ever read.. but it’s also so much bigger than that. The entire cult, their mythos (for a lack of a better word), their play, the Unsaints and the 6, it’s all so well written and detailed and I just can’t stop thinking about how someone just makes this shit up and writes it but I’m so happy *someone* did it because the Unsainted books are easily one of my most favorite series ever. It’s poetic, broken and tragic but oh so fucking beautiful.
Anyways—I meant when I said that I’m impressed with anyone finding the right words for this story because I feel like this review doesn’t do it justice but I have to write something, so yeah. I loved the triple POV and the way K used different timelines. Just go read it. Would forever recommend.

Let’s talk about anticipated releases. Let’s talk about how I have been waiting for 𝐌𝐘 man’s book to come around so we could dive deeper into his head, and now is 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 the time, only I am so 𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 from doing so.
Let’s talk books that completely mess you up, because some of the characters grow to spite you and 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘢 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦. This book 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 me in so many ways. I knew it was gonna be a rough ride. 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺. Of course to balance that out, the steam was through the roof, the tension between some characters coiled so tightly, that it’s a 𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 they waited so long before 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠. I honestly can’t wait for more of 𝐌𝐘 man, his next book is gonna be even better, I can feel it.

“I only get one, because they’d kill each other before they shared me. But I can’t let either of them go.”
“Maybe me and you are it in another life, yeah, baby?”
5/5⭐️
3/3🔥
Boy of ruin absolutely ruined me. After following these characters for four books now, I feel like I’ve been on such a journey with them and so much has happened from where we began. These books are extremely dark, and J’s book is definitely the darkest yet. This book put me through a lot, there were times where I wondered where the hell KV was going with this book, I was stressed, anxious, shocked, upset. I laughed, I cried, I went through it all. Above all I trusted the process and it was so worth it in the end. My heart broke but it was going to be broken either way in the end (if you’ve read this you’ll know what I mean). I loved Lucifer and Jeremiah equal amounts for different reasons and I knew that it was going to hurt to see Sid have to lose one of them. This was such a crazy and emotional ride, these books really are wild and I love that there’s pretty much nothing KV won’t do. I’m so happy that I followed this journey and I won’t forget about these characters any time soon. Cannot wait for the next books in the series I’ll be waiting here (im)patiently.

“I understand them. Both of them. They’re just like me. I’m them. We’re all f*cked”
I typically like to end my reviews with all of the possible content warnings so that anyone who might read my review would be informed about what they’re getting into. I’m not going to write out every single one for this book because honestly.. any possible trigger is in this book. From satanic cults to suicide to heavy drug use. Its all there. KV has always been very transparent that if you don’t like dark books than she is not the writer for you. However, if that’s your jam, than you will love this series, especially the 4th installment. Also, please be aware this review is going to contain potentially triggering topics as well as a mention of my own experience with suicide.
Going into this book, I had a heavy pit in my stomach. I truly had no idea how things were going to end and it was terrifying. I have to say that while I love all of KV’s books and her writing is ALWAYS phenomenal, boy of ruin is quite possibly her best writing yet. It’s dark, sad, creepy, bloody and so. Damn. Steamy. I swear to god the sex scenes were NEXT LEVEL good.
“Coagula. It f*cking means something to me”
I’m not going to say too much about the plot because I want to avoid spoiling anything, but this is told in three POV’s: Sid, Lucifer and Jeremiah. They have all been with us since the very beginning of this series, but its particularly sad to see the end of Sid’s POV. I see so much of myself in Sid and while she pisses me the frick off a lot of the time, I can’t blame her for the way she acts. A lot of people don’t like Sid because shes a ‘runner’ but I’m a runner too. I’ve run so far from my own problems I’ve tried to dive right off a bridge. (not an exaggeration, sadly). Boy of ruin is full of crazy secrets, satanic cult rituals, lots and lots of violence and a girl torn between two boys.
I cried a lot reading this and I love that these characters are tough, badass villians, but underneath it all they’re really just kids who are suffering and have been suffering their whole lives. I also really loved the way that things were set up for the next book in the series and I can’t wait to see what other crazy shit is going to go down.
Thank you KV for writing this book even though I know it ripped your heart out. Thanks for giving us these twisted, loveable characters.

Ahhhh okay, I read this book the same day it was released but It took me a lot of time to even form words to write a review because goddamn THE MAGNIFICENCE!!!😍 This book hurt me. I stayed up all night to finish it because you CAN'T put this book down. And my soul, heart and head hurt in the morning cuz whew! ; the wringer my emotions went through 😭💔
This is Jeremiah's book, KV said. But you can't get J without Sid and you cannot get Sid without Luce. So here they all were. Fighting themselves and each other for one thing or the another. The angst, the steam, the resistance, the suspense, the mysteries and the past ; everything catches up to the readers in this book and OMG you can't help but lose your sanity a little while reading it. There were scenes where I wanted to dive inside my kindle and shake the characters or hug them. When it ended I actually didn't know whether to sob or smile or scream so I was in a total daze for the whole day.
I loved Sid. I could understand her and what she went through with everything. For what she suffered, I think she was such a strong character and needed support to figure things out for herself which she got more from J than Lucifer. And oh my God, how I hated Lucifer in this book. Nothing can redeem him for me. Jeremiah is my hero! I love him with everything in me. If he would have real, I would have married him; I don't even care if he didn't agree lol.
If you love dark romance and have a place for angst, fucked up relations, intense and steamy love and a lot of psychopathy in your hearts, I would recommend this a 1000% !!

Boy of ruin ruined me!
I don't think my heart hurted more through a book. I felt EVERYTHING. My poor heart broke so many times. I even cried a few times. This book was everything. Sid and Lucifer really are into an unhealthy relationship. But with a little help, okay maybe a lot, they get through it. Fighting for the one you love is always hard. But it's the best thing in the world. Fighting demons from the past, one who really haunts you. That's some tough times. Sid and Lucifer both had their own past to deal with. They both had to learn how to deal with everything that happened and let it go. So they could move forward, together. As a family with their little baby. I think my heart will always feel for J. A lot. He too had a hard past and all he ever wanted was Sid. But he sees that he is not what she needs. I want to read lots and lots more about him now. I hope he gets his own " happy" ending.

“𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬.
𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐬.”
This book made me feel all kinds of emotions. I was angry, I laughed, I cried and there were times that I wanted to hug them or stab them (yup).
Boy of Ruin is the 4th book in the Unsainted series. It’s Jeremiah’s story and I guarantee you, you’re gonna fall in love with him.
Sid, Lucifer and Jeremiah broke my heart. The characters are raw and twisted. They have been through a lot and all of them have done awful things.
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬. 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡, 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲.”
I’m not a fan of love triangles but this book kept me on edge the whole time and i just wanted to find out who she would choose.
Also, I like how we got this story from 3 points of view (Jeremiah, Sid, Lucifer). This book dives deep into their past and you can’t help but get invested in them. Everything is raw, toxic and painful. I needed to take a few breaks from this book. It didn’t fail to drain me emotionally and mentally.
“𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲, 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞.”
I didn’t like Sid in this book at all. In the first three books I liked her because she’s not your typical heroine, she’s flawed and often made mistakes but in boy of ruin she started doing a lot dumb things that made me want to through my phone away. I couldn’t understand some of the decisions she had made.
“𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞. 𝐈𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐰.”
“𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬. 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. 𝐍𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.”
From the beginning, I was #teamlucifer and in this book there were times that I despised him and wanted to slap him but near the end I went back again to liking him. Not gonna lie, I started shipping Sid and Jeremiah too. Let’s be honest, it’s impossible not to ship them.
“𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥. 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞, 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞. 𝐇𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧.”
Jeremiah Rain ... I used to dislike him but in this book I ended up loving him. He’s been through hell and deserved all the love. In the end, he was the selfless one...

Boy of Ruin is (most likely going to be) my number one read of 2020. This book is raw, dirty, and REAL. KV held no emotion back in this and you can fucking tell. Right from the beginning you’re hooked. It’s almost like you’re being pulled in from an undertow and you can’t seem to come up for air. This book hurts, I can’t lie. You’ll feel all of the pain from every character. But you’ll feel every piece of happiness they feel too. Simply put, the emotion is fucking strong. Boy of Ruin will simply do what the title says, fucking ruin you. Not like we expected less from Sid, J and Luce, am I right? Half a month later, and I’m still destroyed. To put in perspective, I’ve had three (that’s including BoR) books do this to me. Make me feel like I have a lump in my throat. Like I’m saying good-bye.
While this isn’t a real “good-bye,” it kind of is. We have reached an end of an era, Sid and Luce’s era (take that how you want, that isn’t a spoiler). We’ll see them, but we won’t hear them. And for me, that’s kind of a hard pill to swallow. I’ve always connected with Sid, not in the way that it’s easy to connect with characters either. I’ve been Sid (minus the obsessed SB and prostitution). I’ve been there right on the verge of ending it all. I’ve been there clawing my way back out. I’ve been there trying to figure out how to fucking love because I couldn’t love myself. I’ve had a Lucifer (who was kinda also like a Cain lmao). Sid was me and I was her. So while I know it isn’t a real good-bye for me it kind of is.
To J, I know you’ll be just as fucking hard to say good-bye to, so don’t worry. You’ll get your fucking time you arrogant, jealous man. It’s coming.
To Sid and Luce, good bye. Thank you for making me feel less alone on days where I didn’t wan’t to fucking adult and be a parent. Thank you for reminding me I am strong, and brave, and smart, and a fucking survivor. I love you. You’ve drained me emotionally in this book, with all the laughing and the cursing. Even the fucking tears.Sid, remember, it’s okay to fucking soar. Because that is what you were meant to do.
Wife, Goddess of Chaos, KV muthafuckin Rose. I hate you. I love you. I’m so thankful for you. You know why.
While this isn’t a real “good-bye,” it kind of is. We have reached an end of an era, Sid and Luce’s era (take that how you want, that isn’t a spoiler). We’ll see them, but we won’t hear them. And for me, that’s kind of a hard pill to swallow. I’ve always connected with Sid, not in the way that it’s easy to connect with characters either. I’ve been Sid (minus the obsessed SB and prostitution). I’ve been there right on the verge of ending it all. I’ve been there clawing my way back out. I’ve been there trying to figure out how to fucking love because I couldn’t love myself. I’ve had a Lucifer (who was kinda also like a Cain lmao). Sid was me and I was her. So while I know it isn’t a real good-bye for me it kind of is.
To J, I know you’ll be just as fucking hard to say good-bye to, so don’t worry. You’ll get your fucking time you arrogant, jealous man. It’s coming.
To Sid and Luce, good bye. Thank you for making me feel less alone on days where I didn’t wan’t to fucking adult and be a parent. Thank you for reminding me I am strong, and brave, and smart, and a fucking survivor. I love you. You’ve drained me emotionally in this book, with all the laughing and the cursing. Even the fucking tears.Sid, remember, it’s okay to fucking soar. Because that is what you were meant to do.
Wife, Goddess of Chaos, KV muthafuckin Rose. I hate you. I love you. I’m so thankful for you. You know why.

Hi Friends! Let me tell you about this book I just read. Jamie, J, Jeremiah Rain gets to finally tell his side of the story and it is not for the faint of heart. This is first person narration from 3 points of view, including Sid and Lucifer Malikov. By now you should already know what you are getting into so I won’t waste time recapping and explaining. I will tell you however, I went into this book with a clean slate and fresh eyes. More so, I wanted to understand the bond that some readers have with Lucifer. I also wanted to try and understand how Sid could be so disliked, regarding her decisions made in TCC. And here’s how it went...
~
Not gonna lie, most of the highlighted passages for reference include reactions and snide comments in response to stupid things Lucifer says and does. I think KV should have named him Kyle instead, you know, since he seems to like punching drywall a lot. I understand that he is upset, I identify that he is deeply flawed. I’m with Sid, and I commend her for being strong enough to leave. Who did she run to? The only person who has ever kept her safe from harm. The abuse she suffered with Lucifer, I would have be gone the first chance I got. I am a little frustrated with myself writing this review as my focus on Lucifer shadows Jeremiah and his tortured soul. I love J with my heart and I survived it, albeit with new scar tissue on my heart. All three characters (Sid, Luce, J) have a devastating story to tell in this book, and KV did all of them justice. The flashbacks were gut clenching, soul wrenching and I was tense the entire way through. KV really knows how to rip out those emotions, showing little mercy for your mental state. Every word, every page, every scene in this book was necessary and all of it was tragically beautiful. It wasn’t till a little over half way when I had an epiphany, more importantly character progression at its finest happened. The depth and layers these characters have make them seem like actual people, rather than carefully crafted words on a page. Arguably one of the best written books of this year, and some of the BEST SEX I have ever read! I wouldn’t even call it sex, it was more like souls melding through shared moments of passion. <— This is not meant to be as fluffy as it sounds, anyways. By now my heart should be used to the process of being broken and repaired so many times, but I will never get used to that feeling. And yet, I live for it! KV Rose is an absolute master of manipulation, and I say that with all love. She will make you feel safe in your theories and then flips the script, then you’re scrambling to get off the floor she body slammed you on!

Boy of Ruin... I think KV new exactly what she was doing when she picked that title, because my heart is just that; Ruined... For any other author 😏

Edit (2/26/21): was looking back on this book and this review and my feelings toward it just got worse lmao so I'm lowering my rating to 3 stars.
*Received ARC in exchange for an honest review*
Rating: 4 Stars!
https://bookboyfriendsdoitbetter.com/
To be completely honest, I almost gave this book 3.5 stars.
It's been 9 days since BOR released so my review will have a few *mild* spoilers.
This book has absolutely no character development for Sid. NONE. There is absolutely none. Her character is actually the reason why I couldn't give this book 5 stars. I had been told by a couple of people that there would be but, again, THERE WAS NONE.
For me, she is somehow worse than where we first started in the 1st book.
I won't be going into the plot itself because that is just full of spoilers and there is a reason why KV didn't send out the arc until just days before the release (and it took me 8 days to pick it up, as you can see, I'm a great reviewer).
This book also RUINED Jeremiah for me. He does this one really terrible thing in this book that I just couldn't ignore. And this is coming from a huge #teamJeremiah girl. There was a part towards the end of the book where I felt like his character had development but even with that, I can't forgive neither him NOR SID for what they did.
So far it sounds like I haven't enjoyed this book at all (why I almost went with 3.5) but I did enjoy the writing and the side characters. Oh my god, THE SIDE CHARACTERS. Mav and Ella are even better in this book and I honestly want and need another book from them. I also immediately NEED Cain's book asap!
Something shocking also happened with this book: I got a bit attached to Lucifer...I KNOW I KNOW! That is a WILD statement coming from ME if you know me. But I could see and feel all of his pain, both from all the stuff that he has done for and to save Sid (WHICH SHE IS COMPLETELY UNGRATEFUL FOR). I could understand all of his actions from book 3 -which are still dumb, but I understand them more. And I just fell a little bit for him.
So basically (and shockingly) Lucifer saved this book for me.
I hate Sid even more now and really hope that this is the end of her story (but not her character arc if she doesn't grow, I'm quitting lol). Jeremiah is sadly not my favorite anymore and I don't know how to fell about the ending.

Boy of Ruin dark themes trigger warning .
Also have tissues .
Im kind of speechless . .. 5 amazing stars
With this book you're dealing with 3POVS Jeremiah , Sid, and Lucifer .
The story begins close to where it left off . And if you've read Unsaints 1-3 then you'll know .
KV has a way of breaking her characters down into the beautifully flawed f***ed up individuals they are .bleeding their every emotions onto a page where bit literally feels like you're bursting at the seams with the emotion you feel with these characters . It's beautiful .
I don't want to put out spoilers but this book has really made me fall in love more with Jeremiah than I ever was before . Of course this is part of his story but it is also the end of Lucifer and liliths story as well .
As I've said I've always loved Luce a bit more than J but you actually get to see MORE into his past as well as Lucifers .
I've never cried so much reading a book in my life. The unsainted world is a dark an twisted world that seems to either get worse or a little better . Boy Of Ruin will fit you open and give you the best insight into these characters past present and future .
That epilogue is only a taste of what's to come . And I .CANNOT. WAIT . 🖤

4.5
“You always ran away from my pain, while all I wanted to do was fucking hold yours. Hold you. Keep you together.”
This book - the whole series- is so incredibly good. It‘s fucked up and the characters are broken, but it‘s so addicting.
I was exited for this one, because I really liked Jeremiah in the last books, but in this one I couldn’t really connect to him. To any of this characters actually, but to him especially.
The way he treated Sid annoyed me and I just wanted her to be with Lucifer. That‘s probably because I didn‘t like J.
The end was good. Kinda expected, kinda unexpected, but it‘s more or less a happy end and that’s nice. That‘s what I hoped for.
In this book a lot comes together. I was able to connect a lot of points and got questions answered. It felt like a good end, with an happy end.
But there are still five books coming. I don‘t even know what is supposed to happen in them, since I found this one had quiet a lot of back and forth. We ran on the same spot for about 150 pages or sum.
“I want you to always be mine, because no matter what shit you throw my way, Lilith, I’m always gonna be yours. Even when you hate me.”

This series was so dark and edgy. Twisted in every way! Every book was raw. So full of emotion. This series was the first books I’ve read from this author, and she’s definitely a new favorite now!
September 8, 2020
Lucifer used to be my favorite H not anymore, this book ruined it for me.
September 18, 2022
Update: my soul beats solely for Jeremiah Rain, from now until eternity.
Amen.
Now, back to business.
This book.
This series.
These characters.
What a mindfuck.
Never have the lines between right & wrong ever been so grey. Whether it was romantic relationships, familial ones, who was the enemy or friend.
Initial thoughts
This book, like the others before it, were so well done. I never knew who I wanted to “win”.
Not once did I root for one over the other when it came to Lucifer & Jeremiah, although muh boy Luce is VERY PUNCHABLE. Like at least once each chapter that included his scenes, I wanted to punch him & scream in his face. And yet... I don't love him any less.
See what I mean? Blurred lines baby. It's so very very blurry.
Now, onto J.
This man. I love him. Don’t we all though?
There were more flashbacks providing detailed insight to the nightmare that was Jeremiah f*cking Rain's childhood, & to say it made me stabby would be an understatement. I wanted to reach into the book and started bashing heads for him. My heart was *broken*. Equally so was I devastated as more details came to light with Sid's memories & all the truth bombs that seem to never stop dropping.
His optimism (for lack of better term) in his connection with Sid, his straight up devotion to her, is unmatched.
What I didn’t see coming though was the level of patience (again for lack of better term because no one here is patient) with her situation.
Mayhem / Maverick / Brother Lover
WhY OH WHY do I love the added tension / angst of this suddenly v tabboo situation? Actually, scratch that. Forbidden things are more fun. This guy went from a lurknig pain in my ass, to one of my fav characters, & one of Sid's only reliable (as much as one can be in this series) companions.
Maverick is ride or die. Not afraid to tell tell Lucifer he’s being a prick, and equally unafraid of being there when his bro crumbles.
And Lucifer IS crumbling.
However now with Ella in the mix things are... well they just keep getting more interesting. They're Daddy/Bratty relationship dynamic is that but on steroids it seems, but without her POV I wonder... is she content? Sid wondered this serveral times, and I need to know. (and, we will, with the next one)
THE ENDING (no spoilers!)
AHH!!!! Those final few chapters. Holy hell, I was blindsided. Ugly cried. Died inside a little bit. inside. Heart cracked more. Then in the next sentence I was giddy & excited, all over again - tears forgotten. I NEED MORE. Waiting for the next book might actually kill me, but it’s so worth it.

His optimism (for lack of better term) in his connection with Sid, his straight up devotion to her, is unmatched.
Her eyes are searching mine, wide and open, as if she’s considering it. As if, for once, she doesn’t hate me. She isn’t just here for protection from the fucking cult and her fucking psychotic husband who she ran from.
As if she might...love me.
What I didn’t see coming though was the level of patience (again for lack of better term because no one here is patient) with her situation.
I close my eyes tight, reminding myself she needs time. She just needs time. I mean, I’ve known her since she was fucking two years old, but I guess nineteen years for her hasn’t been enough goddamn time for her to figure out I love her more than I’ll ever love anyone else in the world. But I can’t do it. I can’t let her go. Not yet.
Mayhem / Maverick / Brother Lover

Maverick is ride or die. Not afraid to tell tell Lucifer he’s being a prick, and equally unafraid of being there when his bro crumbles.
And Lucifer IS crumbling.
His scent is soothing. His arms are tighter around me. He’s still speaking in my ear. Over and over and over. I sink against him. He’s holding me up, and I turn in his arms, throw my own around him, aware everyone is watching us.
I don’t care. I rest my head on his shoulder, tears burning behind my eyes. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t you dare fucking cry.
“It’s okay,” Maverick says in my ear. “You can cry, Luce.”
And then I can’t hold it in anymore.
However now with Ella in the mix things are... well they just keep getting more interesting. They're Daddy/Bratty relationship dynamic is that but on steroids it seems, but without her POV I wonder... is she content? Sid wondered this serveral times, and I need to know.

MORE IN DEPTH REVIEW TO COME
July 13, 2022
full review to come once I’ve processed what the fuck I’ve just read
this book ruined me (no pun intended). i started off so conflicted about it. i didn’t like the real triangle that seemed to strengthen in this book and i HATEDDD some of the actions of the MCs, but by the end i was crying and i felt like my heart had been put back together and now it’s my favorite in the series yet. will write a formal review when i feel like it!
July 2022 - updated review - still 5/5 and still broken
this is my third time rewriting this review bc every time i do something goes wrong and i lose it all so let’s hope i remember everything i wanted to say.
a year later and i’m still reeling over this book. simply, i am obsessed with this world and each and every one of these characters. just rereading my highlights brings me back to every single emotion i felt reading BOR a year ago for the first time. Sid, Lucifer, and Jeremiah are all damaged and are trying to navigate their relationships with themselves and with each other. Sid struggles to choose between these two men, who both bring different things to the table and who mean different things to her. she feels a sense of loyalty to each, but for different reasons. i have been Team SidLuce from day one and was rooting for them, but even i started to feel a bit conflicted, as Sid did. my heart broke for Sid and her situation. choosing between the two men that mean the most to her and have been so incredibly influential in her life? i cant imagine being in such a heart wrenching decision. while i disliked some of her actions, i cant even be mad at her, knowing her inner turmoil. i love this girl and these boys so much.
seeing Jeremiah and Luce somewhat work together was heartwarming, as was their last conversation in the hospital, which truly broke me. and their tiny interaction after that, while small, but that obviously meant so much and felt like a little olive branch. the epilogue brought me to the edge of my seat, but i am beyond excited to meet Kameron, and i hope she and Jeremiah can get their version of a HEA🤞🏻and while this ended as a “happy for now” for Sid and Luce, i know that their conflicts and troubles are nowhere near resolved, and i will continue to root for them. like i said in my review for TMT - after the “i bind myself to you tonight” on that Halloween so long ago, how can i not think that they are meant to be?
this book is going to make you angry. it will probably bring you to tears. it is not a happy, sunshine, light book. it is dark and difficult and in no way sugarcoated. but that’s part of the reason why i loved it so much. even as someone who usually despises love triangles and another trope that i won’t mention even though i feel like it’s obvious, i could sympathize in some way with each character, even if i felt anger and frustration towards them. in the end, don’t go into this thinking that everything will be clean cut and easy, because it is not. but it was beautiful to me and spoke a lot about family, loyalty, and love.
Like Grim Death, and every book that follows, will not be a walk in the park, but i cannot get enough of this family. and seeing as it’s growing, i can’t wait to see its evolution, especially as the new generation begins to make an appearance😉
KV proves her insane talent and her passion by somehow taking my two least favorite tropes, the ones that i always stay away from, throws them into a book, and then said book becomes my favorite in the series. like what?? i will always be amazed by this woman.
as always, a solid 5/5🖤😈

Sweet holiest of titfires...
Since I first discovered this author and this series, I have become obsessed with her and it. As the story has progressed, I have fallen down the rabbit hole trying to figure out what is going on in this story. This author has bewitched me and has me needing to seek therapy at the same time. I shouldn't love how twisted and mind screwing that this series is. Yet, I do. There is a trigger of just about everything in this book. If it isn't enacted on the pages, it is hinted that it has happened in the past, and yet, do I look away? No, my crazy mind tells me to go pop some popcorn, grab some alcohol, and to sit back and enjoy the show. And what a show it is.
One of the things that draws me to this author is she is meticulous in how she sets up a scene. She makes me feel things that I shouldn't feel. I shouldn't be sympathetic to any of these characters, and yet I am. I have never wanted a reverse harem situation so badly as I have with this book because Who in their right mind could choose between Lucifer and Jerimiah? Even though they are both demented and definitely insane, they still had a vulnerability and spark them that made them redeemable in their own way. Yes, I said it redeemable, even though they both were pretty dastardly in this book and both did some awful things that should have been a real deal-breaker for me. One moment I was #teamjerimiah, and the next I was #teamlucifer. The author wasn't nice in this one and made it harder than ever to choose between the two. This book and these characters reminded me that this isn't a book about what I want, but rather, is a book where they demand the author tell it their way. So it came down to not being my choice and I admire that the author listened to her muses rather than giving in and making a decision based solely on what would be popular.
So many secrets, still out there that need to be answered and so many issues were handled. Be warned, there will be moments that you might find the urge to throw your kindle or swear out loud at the actions of the characters (I truly hated both Luc and J this go around). However, the book left off with something really sweet at the end, and also a whopper of a hint of what is to come. I NEED there to be some sparkly happy moments for the character that it left off with because He sure deserves something good to come his way. He has been hurt enough.
This book was one of my most anticipated of the year and for good reason. I started out this series a little confused but each book has gotten better and better and that is because this author is skilled at writing dark. She isn't afraid of coloring outside the lines and lets her characters dictate the story, no matter how screwed up, dysfunctional, or outright taboo it is. I appreciate that, and moreover, I am all in for her to keep tantalizing me with warped and delectable stories.

I shouldn't love how twisted and mind screwing that this series is. Yet, I do. There is a trigger of just about everything in this book. If it isn't enacted on the pages, it is hinted that it has happened in the past, and yet, do I look away? No, my crazy mind tells me to go pop some popcorn, grab some alcohol, and to sit back and enjoy the show. And what a show it is.
One of the things that draws me to this author is she is meticulous in how she sets up a scene. She makes me feel things that I shouldn't feel. I shouldn't be sympathetic to any of these characters, and yet I am. I have never wanted a reverse harem situation so badly as I have with this book because Who in their right mind could choose between Lucifer and Jerimiah? Even though they are both demented and definitely insane, they still had a vulnerability and spark them that made them redeemable in their own way. Yes, I said it redeemable, even though they both were pretty dastardly in this book and both did some awful things that should have been a real deal-breaker for me. One moment I was #teamjerimiah, and the next I was #teamlucifer. The author wasn't nice in this one and made it harder than ever to choose between the two. This book and these characters reminded me that this isn't a book about what I want, but rather, is a book where they demand the author tell it their way. So it came down to not being my choice and I admire that the author listened to her muses rather than giving in and making a decision based solely on what would be popular.
So many secrets, still out there that need to be answered and so many issues were handled. Be warned, there will be moments that you might find the urge to throw your kindle or swear out loud at the actions of the characters (I truly hated both Luc and J this go around). However, the book left off with something really sweet at the end, and also a whopper of a hint of what is to come. I NEED there to be some sparkly happy moments for the character that it left off with because He sure deserves something good to come his way. He has been hurt enough.
This book was one of my most anticipated of the year and for good reason. I started out this series a little confused but each book has gotten better and better and that is because this author is skilled at writing dark. She isn't afraid of coloring outside the lines and lets her characters dictate the story, no matter how screwed up, dysfunctional, or outright taboo it is. I appreciate that, and moreover, I am all in for her to keep tantalizing me with warped and delectable stories.

“And I never had a chance to not love them both.”

What. The. Hell. Did. I. Just. Read.
This book is called Boy of Ruin, but it should really be called Alexandria of Ruin, BECAUSE I’M RUINED! When I first began this series, I had no idea what I was in for. Now that I have read book four... I am seriously obsessed with this series. I am honestly unsure as how I should put my words into this review. It was such a complex, dirty, engaging, and angering read. This novel had so much in it, like whiplash dealing with all the events that happened in 500 pages. There were so many scenes where I was fuming, like actually wanted to scream at these characters, but then information would come out that would soften my crazy feelings. In my opinion, KV Rose is one of the best Dark Romance authors out in the community. She captures the twisted, evil, and nasty darkness of the trope with also having some HOT AS HELL sex scenes and romance... it’s literally everything I love in the trope!🤤
————————————————————————-
The characters in this novel gave me a headache (the good kind)😂 Sid, Luce, and Jeremiah were extremely hard to read about in this novel. I thought past books were rough, but this one takes the cake. Their behaviour at certain scenes had me clenching my teeth so hard I could have broke them, like honestly, it was harsh. Then there were scenes where my heart would lurch in anticipation because I didn’t know what they were going to do next. I really became connected to each character because of all three point of views being involved. Although, as beautiful as the ending was... it was also tragic👀 My soul is pulling towards the characters in this novel, they have so much personality for fictional characters and I honestly love them. Every. Single. One.
————————————————————————-
This novel is the fourth in the series and MUST be read in order. I do HIGHLY recommend this novel if you can take dark romance because this shit was sexy, dark, twisted, and raw!😏

I would rate this novel 4.5-stabbing-stars✨😈
Steam rating: 5🔥

I hate this book 💀 the quality is getting worse, lmao.
This book has nothing but group sex, no plot, sharing and sharing. I've no problem with sharing (sometimes) but what my problem is that when the men claim themselves as the possessive and the next second let their friends have a piece of the FMC.
How they could be possesive men, man, when they let others fuck their women, or let them watch.
We need an actual obsessed and possesive man.
They act like horny teenagers and nothing else.
I thought Jeremiah's book would be good, but nah.
Literally felt like a cheap copy of devil's night series.
Devil's night series is my favourite and my soul is attached to that one, so many themes were similar between both of these series. But still, this was bad.
I had to skim read so many parts.
Never mind, I'll read the rest.
