Dirty Little Saint

Rate this book
There is no escaping the devils of Raven’s Gate…

I came to Tenebrose Academy to start over. To get away from the demons of my past. Little did I know that something darker waited for me in Raven’s Gate.

Don’t feed the ravens.

Riot, Atlas, and Valentin. They are depraved. Unhinged. Devious. And they’ve claimed me.

Swear an oath to serve only us.

I’m their doll to dress up. Their toy to play with. Their property to control. But I crave it just as much as they do. Deep down I know they will be my ruin.

I think she’s going to let us play.

But we have greater enemies than each other. Those who wish to take what we have. Too bad for them. They’re about to see how psycho I really am.

Welcome back to Raven’s Gate, a sinister town full of empty graveyards, midnight ghosts, haunted hallways, secret societies, and sinful temptation.

Dirty Little Saint is book two in the Devils of Raven’s Gate Duet. It is a dark academia, dark bully romance where the heroine ends up with multiple love interests. This book contains content not suitable for all readers. Please refer to the preview for a full list of TWs.

Goddamn this whole duet was a big ole dick party. Like OMG THE SHEER AMOUNT OF SPICEEE 👀

World wise it was dark, mysterious and chaotic in the best way. Ever Graves and Raven's Gate gave gothic town vibes, with creepy mansions, hidden enemies, cults, and secrets hiding in every corner. I loved the dark academia vibes too!! it made me addicted immediately.

The story is about Maureen. She starts off just being the Sheriff's daughter in Wickford Hollow, normalish life but you can tell she's drawn to dark things. Like the girl is a psycho ngl. And then boom she's thrown into this chaos of secrets about her real family, the Blackwells, the Tenebrose Academy, the cursed town of Ever Graves.. the nightmare man legend, all the evil/mystery vibes.. like it's intense. She's got her squad of twisted psychos of course.. Riot, Atlas, Val, and later.. Felix, all overprotective, chaotic, possessive, and CRAZY AF in the best way.

The story itself is quite interesting.. the gothic ass town, creepy people, the suspense of their powers and sigils, and the family drama. Like OMG THE DRAMA. Maureen discovers who she really is, confronts psycho Granny.. finds out her "real dad"' is...the literal devil like wtf, and has to deal with her legacy while figuring out who she can trust. There's craziness, rituals, gory scenes, manipulation, danger, tons of sex and dark romance all together.

So yeah. The dick party energy was a bit too much for me (like imagine how frequent it was if I SAY THAT lol). Literally every other page there was someone getting fucked. Most probably Maureen. Or Atlas. Like girl i get it.. everyone's horny. Can I get some plot now?? Or were fucking for 17 consecutive chapters?

Like fine. I guess we can kill bitches later. 🙄

Anyway. Wholeheartedly recommend this if you want dark academia, gothic town, reverse harem and non stop sex.

What to expect:

🖤 Dark academia
🖤 Gothic town
🖤 Reverse Harem
🖤 Enemies to lovers
🖤 Found family
🖤 Secret legacy
🖤 Ravens
🖤 Sex Galore
🖤 MFMM/MM/MFMMM
🖤 Spanking/chocking/knife play
🖤 Blood play/gagging/spitting
🖤 Stalking/submission
🖤 Snake play
🖤 Double penetration

His heated breath puffs out like smoke in the cold air between us right before his lips graze mine. “Eternity is our curse and our salvation. Over and over again until the ground opens up and swallows us whole, we will ruin each other. Because any other fate would be worse than death. Because no other fate exists.”



Rating: 5/5
Spice: 4.5/5

Let me start by saying that I don’t read a lot of dark romance, and boy, this one took me on quite a wild ride.

Dirty Little Saint is the 2nd book of a duet so make sure you read Pretty Little Psycho first before jumping into this one. Maureen has pledged herself to Nocturnus House and its 3 devils, Riot, Atlas and Valentin. They may be unhinged and depraved, but our girl has come to realize she is no saint and her desires are just as corrupted. The ravens have been tamed, but another enemy force needs to be conquered and neutralized. And not without a new player.

Our FMC is crazy, plain and simple. She has to be in order to handle those men. I don’t have any triggers so I only skimmed through the list at the beginning.

GEEZUS ON A CRACKER.

You know the shooketh pikachu face? Yeah, that was me for many scenes. I could not hold myself back and even DM-ed M. Violet for what Atlas did to Maureen. JUST BATHE ME IN HOLY WATER AND SHIP ME TO A CONVENT.

I love those lunatics. And the poem in there? Just stunning. I bow down to the author in awe for that masterpiece. That epilogue was perfect, wrapping up the last loose end. I didn’t like Lib at first but she grew on me and I am worried about her now. What happened to her? Her book next? And I just know we haven’t seen the last of Bones, Draven and Aries 👀

Make sure to keep yourself safe and read the TWs first!

Reader’s tears: 💧

Gonna start off by saying that this book is beyond dark, so proceed with caution. Read the trigger warning PAGES carefully before you dive in. The list is extensive and it gets intense.
If you dare to venture back into Raven’s Gate, you better come prepared.
Maureen has given herself to the four devils of Raven’s Gate - Riot, Valentine, Atlas, and Felix.
As much as they have laid claim to her, she has laid equal claim to each and every one of them.
Overall, this is pitch black dark academia bully romance at its darkest and most feral. The Devil’s of Ravens Gate duet was an absolute delight to read and I’m already planning a re-read now that book two is complete.

Check trigger warnings!!! And if they don’t bother you, dive in! I cannot put into words how invested I’ve been in this story line and M Violet did not disappoint. Up, down, round and round. This book kept me on my toes. While I’m still left with many questions about other characters in this world, I could not be happier that Maureen found her answer and found where she belongs. It’s so easy to fall into this world. If you haven’t started this world yet, don’t wait. It just keeps getting better and better 💜💜💜

Okay so I read this book around a month ago so forgive me if my review sounds a bit vague. So this book... I have to say I was not a fan. Well no that's putting it lightly. I loathed this book, everything about it made me say, "what the fuck was this chick even thinking?" Because really, what the fuck was this chick thinking??? Every single chapter had a sex scene. Every. Single. Chapter. And I am not even exaggerating. I'm not sure about the first few but I noticed about 15% of the way into the book that there was one in every chapter it drove me absolutely batshit. I don't know how sexually depraved this woman was but she must've been trying to release some of that tension using this book because when I tell you there was so much, I mean it. And like I am not a hater it's okay in moderation but did she write this as the sole purpose of this book? This is what the people on Instagram think every book is like because oh my god it was awful. So.... yeah I hated this book.

Rundown:

Characters: 1/5

Plot: 2/5

Dialogue: 0.5/5

Entertainment: 2/5

Wow Factor: 1/5 (predictable)

Writing: 0.5/5

TOTAL RATING: 1.5 Stars (if we round up.)

I loved the first book in this duet and I absolutely loved this second one. More spice, more darkness, and more m*rd3r. Once again, the setting was definitely my vibe. It’s giving The Covenant + Chilling Adventures of Sabrina but make it darker, spicier, and rage-ier 😅

This is the 2nd book of The Devil’s of Ravens Gate duet! I read both book 1 and 2 back to back as I totally wasn’t expecting to receive book 2 as an ARC 🖤🫶🏻

I absolutely loved book 1 and it really gripped me in so I was super happy to dive into book 2!

I’m in love with the vibes of this book - dark, mysterious gothic cult, rituals, blood, sacrifice, poison and tons of poetry.

We jump back into Nocturnus with Maureen, Riot, Valentin and Atlas. They may have broken the “curse” and tamed the ravens, but now new threats arise and they may need a little extra help to finally take full control. The addition of Felix was wonderful, and man that scene in the bar ❤️‍🔥

Maur sunk further into the darkness, and became determined to come out on top at the end. To have her revenge on all who have caused them pain and trauma.

As mentioned in the warnings for this book, these characters are irredeemable, they are sinful and unhinged. I love how Maureen embraced their dark sides and built up trust and love them. The chemistry between them all was intense.

I am 100% going back to read the Wickford Hollow duet to see Bailey’s story.

As always, check the trigger warnings 🖤

Holy shit this book was wild! The twists and turns, the secrets, the burning chemistry was AMAZING!! I had to go back and read the first book to refresh my memory before diving into this one and I loved every single page of this book!

Maur & her men are a force not to be messed with, darkness, secrets and family rivalry all come into play in this gripping story!. Secrets that threaten the very foundations that the devils of raven gate was built on..

Riot, Valentine, altas and Felix all have something to give, each one of them is a missing part to a much bigger puzzle but Maureen is the game's master. She holds her men together and they balance her out when the darkness calls to her, craving her submission and her darkest fantasies. The more time they spend together, the strong they become, the more dangerous and sinister the appear. They answer to no one and everyone either avoids them or wants to be them but Nocturnus isn't for the faint of heart and not everyone survives.

Each and every one of them have their own trauma, their own darkness, their own need for revenge. Blood is spilled and oaths are made for nocturnus isn't just a cult, it's a family, a family that survives on trust and loyalty above all else! They have each other's backs in every situation, ready to lay down their lives for each other.

Maur & her men face more than their fair share of trials, secrets are unearthed, half truths are spilled and more is yet to be discovered but as long as they have each other nothing and no one can tear them apart!

How can i best describe this book, how can i best describe my feelings while reading this book... You know this feeling you have when finishing a book knowing it will be one of your all time favorites and you're so happy about the characters getting their happy einding but... But you're also sad because it's finished now, these characters have given their final goodbye. That's how it felt for me by the time i put my kindle down. I am incredibly sad that it's over but so extremely happy that i got to meet these characters. I will never forget them, they are still in my head while i'm reading another book and i think they will be for a very long time.

The darkness is made so attractive by them, they made me crave it when they took their revenge. Not to mention the spice, the vulnerabilty by all of them, the possesiveness, ... Like everything was just the perfect amount. The perfect ending to an incredible duet! Ohhh and how i wished to be their little firecracker. I had to stop and take a breather for a couple of times, i had to stop to giggle and kick my feet a number of times. This one was so fanny fluttering, so holding your breathe, not daring to breathe to just miss something.

Val, Atlas, Riot and Felix will forever hold a special place in my heart.
They stole my heart just like they did with Maureen. Only she got to experience their darkness more, oh how jealous i am of her!

received a copy of this arc in exchange for
My honest review.
So….WOW.
This was JUST what my dark mood neededdddddddddd!
I love all things dark , taboo etc
THIS.. this delivered.
Three pages of trigger warnings.
Made me even more excited for the story 😈
This book is book 2 in a duet, and I devoured them. This author made me an addict for her writing , and I now own her entire backlist .😂
This plot is fantastic, depraved, and had me on the edge of my seat.
I loved Maureen, her guys , and her gfs!
She moves to a new school to start new,
Only to realize her real h311 is just beginning.
Or she thinks. These guys have a different plan for her, one I couldn’t have guessed if I tried. I loved how well the character development was done.
Maureen really got to know herself , her history and fully embraces it rather than fighting it.
She was exactly what the guys needed to complete their group. She is what makes them complete and makes them all stronger together.
These characters are unapologetically DEPRAVED and absolutely feral for one another.
This story was sooooo incredibly good!
I loved the writing style, the mystery behind the story and the 🌶️ scenes were UNREAL.

Umm, King Cobra anyone?
Make it two . 😳😈

Holy unhinged hotness!

I will never get over these characters, they have engrained themselves into my very soul. in book two everything gets a little darker, more sinister, more depraved, and a lot more unhinged. I loved how

I loved the buildup to the newest addition into the secret society and in turn Maureen's group of guys. I am anxiously waiting for the next book, because I have some questions that need answers.

I throughly enjoyed this fantastical smut filled whirlwind.

I honestly am surprised at just how much got crammed into only 333 pages!

There was a LOT of very well written smut though i am wishing we had more with prof ;) though that scene after class may have been my favourite!

It was great to find out how they endid uo taking over again though I would absolutely love to find out what happens next for them. But ill definitely be reading more of your work!

The stunning conclusion to The Devils of Ravens Gate see the loose ends tied up tighter than Felix’s rope work 😉 as Maureen, Riot, Atlas and Valentin get the ending they deserve. I really enjoyed all the poetry in this book. Edgar Allan Poe has always fascinated me so to get to read some of his work within this story was just really topped off the dark academia vibe that I love so much.

As always, check your triggers. My reviews may be light and fluffy but this book is anything but 😊

💀 ALL THE TW’s ⚠️

As I always say, CHECK YOUR TW’s! If you don’t well that’s to us fault. This book has a grocery list of them!

Dirty Little Saint is a follow up to Pretty Little Psycho. And lord my girl M. Violet did not disappoint! We get right down to the spicy and naughty naughty in chapter 1!!!

This books focuses on the growing power of Maureen, Riot, Atlas and Valentin. But as their power grows, so does the threats of others trying to take them out.

“He’s more than a walking red flag. He’s the ink, the cloth, the whole fucking flagpole.”

As in book one our men will stop at nothing to protect their girl, but the same goes for Maureen. She proves she will stop at nothing to protect her guys.

“Eternity is our curse and our salvation. Over and over again until the ground opens up and swallows us whole, we will ruin each other. Because any other fate would be worse than death. Because no other fate exists.”

So many secrets are uncovered and questions answered in this book. There were more times than once that my mouth hung wide open and I was like “what?!?” Or “nooooo”.

Whew... this is an intense ride that I am not ready to be over. I have so many questions, so many things I want to see them experience and grow into. This type of dark romance isn't my typical dark romance go to, but M Violet is quickly becoming a must read author.

M. Violet never fails with dark romance.

☠️found family

😈obsession over Fmc

This book leaves right off where Pretty Little Psycho ends. If you love unhinged men who are obsessed with one woman than this is it for you.

Maureen falls for her devils/ psycho men. She finds herself in this book and becomes ones of the devils she loves so much. Her power grows as their bonds get stronger.

Riot, Valentine, and Atlas would do anything for her. They would never question her needs and would burn the earth to make it happen. She is their salvation and their pretty little psycho. They are the definition of true power when together with her. They need her, crave her, and would die for her.

As the story goes on the more secrets are uncovered. We get answers to a lot of questions and wonder in this book. You also will never guess who the fourth male is added to their group and brings even more power to them all. Read to find out just how crazy in love all of them are and how far they will go to be together including welcoming a new male to their coven.

Enjoyed the story so much!!!

The spice of course was off the charts but the story for this one held me more to the book then anything else.

I was at the point like okay spice leave me alone I need this story and need to know what's about to happen!🤣🤣

I seriously couldn't get passed how the lives of everyone were connecting and starting to make sense along with everything they were feeling.

The action scenes were some of my favorite parts in this whole book and of course the ravens! (Edgar Allen Poe fan here🖤)

This book did give me more vibes to the movie the covenant then book 1. This had all the secrets and the magical ways and devil taunts. I love how Maureen finally truly embraced herself and accepted all that was around her!

"Mors tua, vita mea." (Your death, my life)

Wow! I was so excited when I got to read this! I needed it so badly after the cliffhanger in book one. This picks up where the first one left off, and the guys are still slowly exposing Maureen to Nocturnus and adding sigils. But it's the one from Riots dad, the master over them all helps her become a match to be reckoned with. Secrets are uncovered, and there are many twists and turns. This book has many triggers, so please check the warnings before diving in! I definitely recommend this book and series!

Los cuervos están en duelo, desde q Maureen fue marcada y recibida en el aquerrale han perdido poder sobre Nocturnus, Maureen recibe el sello de serpentis en un ritual con Zeus, la cobra mascota de Atlas. Van a la finca Graves, habrá consecuencias por haber matado a Zeke. Los recibe la madre de Riot, Clover, y le dice q su padre, Holden, quiere hablar a solas con él. Cuando se encuentran, Holden le reprochar el q trajo a Maureen y ha perdido control de Nocturnus, q le da dado sellos y eso traerá consecuencias, para Riot se trata de eliminarlo si toca a Maureen. Clover ha separado a los chicos de ella para decoro del recato. Holden se reúne con los 4 y decide iniciar a Maureen a solas y luego castigarla por Zeke, eso descoloca a los chicos pero no pueden hacer nada, Holden también es Nocturnus. Atlas le da veneno para prepararla, Riot sabe q es un psicópata peor q ellos, lleva al igual q su madre cicatrices físicas e internas por eso, su madre cojea debido a el. En el ritual, Holden n le ofrece el sello de la virilidad pero solo lo tendrá al completar la ceremonia, la acuestan desnuda en un altar rodeada de iniciados, al ver el sello de serpentis dice blasfemia y la hace sangrar en el otro muslo, ella debe liberarse tocándose mientras los iniciados la bañan con su s*men, 2 de ellos deben limpiarla para la siguiente fase, ser azotada en sus partes íntimas, 35 latigazos q harán q se excite debido al sello, esto es castigo por Zeke. Los chicos debían permitir ese ritual, es tradición o corrían el riesgo de q Holden invocase la regla de Hécate, enamorarse de una mujer iniciada y tendrás q soportar q todos los demás iniciados la follen, ella mor es debilidad y él matrimonio es por deber, las iniciadas solo pueden ser juguetes, jamás esposas. Holden es más poderoso ahora pero Valentín jura vengar está noche. Se van con ella a cure sus heridas y Atlas sabe q Holden con este ritual ha roto a Maureen para hacerla más fuerte y poder derrocarlo.
Cuando despierta con Atlas estimulándola, Maureen esta furiosa y arremete contra él y Valentin, se va al bosque y allí habla con Riot, él le asegura q lo q pasó jamás volverá a suceder, ella quiere creerle pero su mente le recuerda cada humillación y Riot quiere darle nuevos recuerdos para q los sustituya, su cuerpo si se entrega y sabe q siempre volverá a ellos así se consuma. Cuando llegan a la cabaña, Valentín dice q su padre viene en camino, todos quieren un pedazo de la chica q reventó la maldición pero no la dejarán sola, Laurent Erebus es un sádico y Riot dice para darle otro sello, es muy pronto y eso puede matarla pero Maureen quiere sabe la verdad, le explican la regla de Hécate q nunca se ha usado, es para evitar q un iniciado masculino se enamore uno femenino ya q el matrimonio siempre es arreglado, la iniciada tendría q ser el juguete sexual de todos los iniciados indefinidamente. Riot quiere darle el sello de Erebus y se prepara para el ritual q proviene de las sombras, puede provocar pesadillas, pero también puede ayudar a cambiar la materia y la energía para doblegarse a la voluntad propia, piensa marcarla en la nuca en el nacimiento del pelo para ocultarlo y asi tambien tendrá un acceso mas directo al estar en el inicio de su columna. Cuando estan todos, para limar asperezas entre Maur y Atlas, ella quiere darle un sello y marcarlo, q se vuelva loco si a ella le hacen daño, quiere q sepa a quien le pertenece, ella piensa q la dejaron sola con Holden pero Riot y Valentin fueron encerrados, Atlas no se resistió y ahora ella dura pero él quiere q lo marque como su esclavo. Asi sucede y luego la marcan a ella con el sello de Erebus

Cuando Laurent llega, se enfrenta a Valentín y le dice q no rompió ninguna maldición sino q al marcar a Maureen comenzó una guerra y violó el acuerdo q tenían con los Blackwell, estos  piensan q han manchado a su única heredera femenina, tal como Silas hizo con Jessamine. Este no la mató accidentalmente como ellos piensan y q hubiese pasado si Maureen hubiese muerto, Atlas dice q sabe dar veneno y Laurent se dirige a su hijo Valentín, le dice q los cuervos
Están muriendo, los Blackwell están furiosos y sus iniciados están muertos o pudriéndose en el manicomio Absentia, quiere golpearlo. Valentín dice q rompieron la maldición y Laurent contesta q si, pueden salir de Raven´s Gate así como los Blackwell entrar y q se preparen cuando Penny Blackwell venga por ellos. Maureen empieza a pensar si la maldición empezó antes q Jessamine y Silas porq los padres de los chicos lejos de estar felices por romper la maldición, están aterrados. Puede q todo sea mentira, porq cuando Jessamine murió en vez de ir con Silas al más allá, se quedó controlando a los cuervos hasta q ella entró en Nocturnus. Para Maureen, no hubo una maldición sino un pacto, ellos nacieron en Raven´s Gate y este se construyó sobre suelo sagrado, ellos hacen sacrificios a los cuervos pero ese poder de donde viene? Atlas le dicen q tienen miedo del poder de Maureen, a la final ella mató a 2 hombres a sangre fría, se engaña si piensa q es una víctima. A ella lo q le molesta es q si bien Velntin se arrepintió de no haberla ayudado, parece q a Atlas no le importó y sale corriendo para tomar aire, cuando se da cuenta esta rodeada de cuervos y Atlas le dice al oido q estas alli para venerarla como hacen ellos. Él le dijo q fuera a él cuando lo lastimaran, por q puede reconstruirla, no irá en contra de su naturaleza o la de los demás. Valentin esta casi ido mientras maneja con todos ellos y usa la visión de los cuervos para tomar a alta velocidad una curva cerrada q da a un acantilado, Maureen entra en pánico pero Riot y Atlas le piden q se concentre, sin ella es imposible salir con vida, caen al acantilado y aterrizan con vida. Maureen vuelve a su suite con Libra.
Se reencuentra con Villette y quedan para comer, ella le comenta q su abuela Penny Blackwell ha hablado un poco de Maureen, habló de maldiciones y tratos con el diablo. Pero también mencionó sus remordimientos y cómo es su culpa de q Maureen esté herida. A ella le llama la atención q varios no han nacido en Ever Graves y  se entera q Felix Crane, el hermano de Villette, será su profesor. Alguien la acosa por mensaje de texto y cuando los chicos la hacen llegar al clímax en el bar delante de Félix q  los mira desde lejos, los chicos obligan a Maureen a irse a Nocturnus. Atlas se ayuda bajo amenaza del profesor Harker quién le dice q el acosador es el muchacho mandado de su padre, Barnaby Withers. Atlas va por él, su padre le prometió q podía jugar con Maureen y lo desmaya para llevarlo a Nocturnus, llama al profesor Harker para q los traslade sin ser vistos. Lo dejan en el sótano y cuando Maureen se entera, quiere vengarse y termina matándolo. Atlas llama a su padre, Picis Thorne para q aparezca y Valentin la lleva a The Nest (los dormitorios) y están juntos, ambos se confiensan amar al otro, Val piensa q mientas más crece el poder de Maureen, más derramamiento de sangre habrá. Piscis aparece y se queda asombrado al ver el cadáver de Barnaby y les dice a Atlas y Ríot q Maureen le pertenece a los mayores no a ellos y q no saben con q juegan. Maureen quiere cambiar de clase con Carne, siente vergüenza de q la haya visto follar con los chicos en Swallow pero no lo logra. Entra a su clase mientras Valentín la espera afuera, cuando ella no sale, él entra a buscarla, Félix Crane juega mentalmente con ella , sabe q le excitó q él la viera. Valentín también lo sabe y Maureen no sabe si quiere q Félix también la toque. Riot habla con Félix para q se una a ellos y proteger a Maureen y este dice q luego le contestará, Riot le ofrece ser un igual en el aquerrale. Riot habla con Maureen para q ella convenza a Félix de pertenecer a Nocturnus pero en su clase ella pierde el control y los cuervos atacan a los estudiantes, Félix con su luz saca de su trance a Maureen y ella se va a los brazos de Valentín, su luz la sacó de la oscuridad y Félix acepta entrar.

Cuando se lo cuentan a Villette esto la destroza, ella odio todo lo q es y lo q representa Nocturnus, por su hermano lo intentará pero su amistad con Maureen era acabada.
Félix se entrega al ritual, será marcado con 4 sellos, un sello por cada uno, habrá sangre, fluidos y veneno y si sobrevive será uno de ellos. El primero en marcar es Zeus con Atlas, le dan el sello serpentis en su muslo, Valentín sigue con el sello Lux en su cuello, Maureen lo marca en el pecho mientras lo monta con el sello q lo volvería loco si la dañan y Riot los lleva a otra habitación con una cama, pide a Maureen exponerse y a Félix jugar con ella, luego todos se unen mientras ella es atada. Julian Erebus, el tío de Valentín, se está acostando con Jessamine y Valentín quiere escuchar de ella q acepta q no podrá recuperar a Silas, por él entregó a Maureen a Zeke. Julian le confiesa a Valentín algo q podría matarlo y le pide asegurarse de ganar, Holden Graves ha convocado una reunión de los ancianos, no sabe cuándo pero será en su finca, Valentín le dice q sus planes son destronarlos y devolver la esencia de Nocturnus, han confundido el poder con la avaricia. Julián le regala la cabaña del bosque. Cuando todos se reúnen y Valentín da la noticia, Riot le explica a Félix q el plan es quitarles a sus padres los sigilos (sellos), eso es peor y más poético q la muerte. Maureen se aleja de Félix, se siente culpable de arrastrarlo a Nocturnus y de q Villette ya no sea su amiga, pero al quedarse sola con él luego de clases y agradecerle por el poema q escribió para ella y recitó ante todos, se entrega a él cuando la libera de culpas. Villette y Maureen hacen las paces. En la fiesta del solsticio d primavera, se enteran q esa noche se reunirán los ancianos y Atlas corre a la mansión a buscar todo el veneno q ha preparado. Todos acuden, incluida Villette y Atlas al dejarlos, se va por otro lado, un camino q usaba de pequeño y daba a los túneles, los iniciados están allí y entra y va a la sala de rituales con Zeus y consigue allí a los iniciados, haciendo alarde del cumpleaños de su padre, Picis Thorne y para celebrarlo, les da de beber veneno sin q ellos sepan y les muestra a Zeus. Cuando entran, Villette se queda a vigilar a Clover, la madre de Riot y al llegar Maureen a la sala de rituales, enciende sus sellos junto a Val y Atlas y llama a los cuervos, quiere se posan a sus pies.
Riot presenta a Félix como ofrenda a sus padres y como esto pas disculparse por lo hecho con Maureen, estos quieren iniciarlo y en el proceso se llevan a Villette quien ha salido al escuchar a Félix, al llegar a la sala de rituales ven a los iniciados muertos, Maureen pide a Billete subir al altar y será custodiaa por las serpientes de Atlas y cuando Laurent ataca a su hijo Valentín, Maureen desata el caos sobre ellos. Se enfrentan pero ellos pueden y Ríot derriba a su padre, Laurent muere a manos de Valentín, Maureen quita cada sello de Holden con el cuchillo y Piscis los pierdes a merced de la mordida de Zeus, para no perderse en la locura, Félix llama con su luz a Maureen. Para buscar un poco de consuelo al caos, Riot y Atlas estaban cada uno con Maureen, mientras Valentín se refugia en su tío Julián pero Jessamine le dice q debe llevar a Maureen a Ever Graves porq hasta Penny Blackwell la ha juzgado mal, ella debe saber de dónde viene porq su madre si nació en Eer Graves y hay algo mal con las mujeres de allí, también le dice q los cuervos son hijos del di*blo. Cuando vuelve a Nocturnus, Maureen lo está esperando en su cama. Gracias a Villette, para su cumpleaños Bailey junto a Saint, Poe, Raine y Grim la visitan. Van a Ever Graves y al estar frente a su abuela Penny, hablan en privado pas más nunca volver a verse. Penny le dice q Masón Gray no es su padre sino el jardinero a quien Shana manipuló para no hacer frente a lo q hizo.

Penny cuenta q hace mucho tiempo el diablo maldijo a Ever Graves cuando se enamoró de una mortal q lo rechazó, cuando nace allí una niña, el diablo le da un hombre de pesadilla y una entidad q se burla de ella hasta q enloquece o cede, siempre gana y todas han resistido menos Shana, el hombre de sus pesadillas la embarazó, Maureen es una abominación y las envío lejos para q ella no naciera en Ever Graves y así alejarla de la maldición. Los padres de los chicos la querían para aprovecharse de la semilla del mismísimo diablo. También le dice q solo hay cuervos en Raven’s Gate porq allí velan a los q no maldijo, cuidan de ella. Aries Thorne, Bones Craine y Draven Blackwell los despiden, aún no saben nada de Libra.

Dirty Little Saint is the second book in the Devils of Raven’s Gate Duet. The books need to be read in order for maximum enjoyment.

This book picks up where book one left us. Maureen, Atlas, Val, and Riot are exploring their new relationship and solidifying their power base.

They face challenges in rebuilding with new loyal initiates, expanding their power through new magical sigils, and facing off against the threat of their leadership.

This book is full of dark revelations, secrets, and surprises. It delivers a powerful punch of high spice scenes. It’s a great conclusion to the duet.

Hold on tight!! This book will take you on a wild ride.

This book follows on from Pretty Little Psycho, and Maureen and her men go through hell and back uncovering secrets that will blow your mind.

The plot was packed with twists and turns that will leave you reeling, and the characters were all unhinged, dark, and depraved, especially Maureen.
The spicy scenes were insane (in a good way).

I loved this book, I was hooked from the first page, and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I adored the new addition added, and he definitely took things up a notch.

This one is very dark, so please read the trigger warning before diving in.

Dark. Depraved. Pitch black. Absolutely no gray in sight. Check your triggers.

I thought Pretty Little Psycho was hot and depraved, but Dirty Little Saint outdid it. M Violet has just gained another fan because I will not be forgetting Devils of Ravens Gate anytime soon.

This duet is the first time reading M Violet and she did not disappoint my dark romance obsession. I will be reading more of her books in the future. As for now, I am going to be daydreaming of Riot, Atlas, Val, and even Felix for a while longer!

Spice: 5/5
Character Development: 4/5
Overall Rating: 4/5

This series though. I have read a lot of books the last year and I haven't read anything that is in the same level as this. It is not fantasy but supernatural, that is what I would call it.
The story picks up right after the end of book one and we are rewarded for our wait right away. (If you know what I mean ;) ).
The character growth continues on in this book and by the end I am in awe of the FMC. She turns out to be crazier then the 3 men, I mean 4 men. (Way to through another man into the mix, I am not complaining though).
The ending battle was epic, I could literally see the entire thing happening inside my head from the words on the page, that is how well she writes.
The ending though, like we need to talk M. Violet. You just going to drop that bomb and then walk away like nothing happened. Just close that door on us and move us along to the next couple/story!
Rude.
Over all I loved the story and my ONLY negative (ok two things), is I wish we would have meet guy #4 sooner and got to see their relationship grow like with the other 3, and lastly ITS OVER!

Where do I start? I was lucky enough to be chosen to be an ARC for this book. Dirty Little Saint is book two of the Ravens Gate Series, so if you have not read Pretty Little Psycho I highly recommend reading that before continuing with this one. I have read many books by M Violet and they just keep getting better and better. I do strongly suggest reading the TW because there are heavily dark themes in this book. I love the raw darkness, madness, and chaotic love that is shown in the series. If you love the movie “The Covenant” you will love this series. I will just say you will not see what’s coming by the end. The way it ended, M Violet just left me wanting more, I need more. You are leaving me in a chokehold and I need more of Maureen and her men!

Dark romance with a lot of dark spice!!
I have been reading this author’s books since the beginning with Good Girl and omg she always hits it out of the park. I love that her books are not just about the dark spice but also has a plot. Maur’s story from beginning to end in this book takes you on such a dark adventure and I just love Maur so much. Her development from being the no one to being everything to her guys is really amazing. Also I hope her grandmother gets whats coming to her hopefully in the future. Maur goes through so much trauma and does so much to recover from it, I would highly recommend the trigger warnings for this series before attempting to read because it can be pretty traumatizing for some. I can always count on M. Violet for a 5 star read. And if you haven’t read the Wickford Hollow series it’s a must in order to understand her writing style. There is always a method to her madness and I am here for all of it!!
