Rugger: The Huntress
I do not want flowers …
I do not want cards…
I do not want sweet nothings…
I do not want companionship…
I want pistols…
I want rifles…
I want silencers…
And, I want targets…
Preferably human, contracted, and with skeletons falling out of their closets. My thirst for blood began as a young girl. Dollhouses and little toy families didn’t appeal to me. It was my father’s arsenal . The sound of gunfire. The cold steel of a barrel. And, the idea that one shot could end life as quickly as it had begun.
My father had cursed me before I left the womb. Ruger–after his favorite gun, he’d tried naming me. But, my mother had other plans. He foresaw a future for me drawn with gunpowder, interchangeable like custom grips, self-sufficient like automatics, and lethal like switches.
I’d given my heart and soul to the soil before I stepped off the porch and conquered my first kill. I didn’t need them and wouldn’t return for them as long as I was above ground. They were in the graveyard, where everything went to decompose after their death… never to be seen again.
Until him.
Winning the heart of a heartless girl was deemed an impossible task. But, unbeknownst to me, Psalms ‘Sonnie’ Santoro was willing to visit the depths of the soil to retrieve that particular piece of me that I’d left to rot.
He was boundless.
He was relentless.
He was brutal.
He was cold.
A hunter by nature.
And I was, in fact, being hunted.

How it started:🎶 I didn't mean to end his life, I know it wasn't right. I can't even sleep at night, can't get it off my mind. I need to get out of sight, 'fore I end up behind bars. What started out as a simple altercation, turned into a real sticky situation…….If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool, and reach for my firearm 🎶
How it ended:🎶 Keep it 100, hit the lottery n*ggas. You ain't about that life ain't gotta lie to me, n*gga. You know it's 'til the death, I hope it obvi' to n*ggas. Uh, cross the line, speak about mine. I'ma wave this TEC, I'ma geek about mine
Touch a n*gga where his rib at, I click clack 🎶
“When fire meets fire, something special happens”
Rugger was probably the sister I was most excited to read about and after a slower than expected start to her book, she definitely delivered in that last 25-30%. We knew that Rugger was closed off when it came to her emotions and had no room for you if didn’t come from her daddy’s 🥜 sack. Her type A personality was on steroids in this book and as a hired gun, she’s the shooter you want on your team and the one you pray isn’t responsible for ending your life.
Rugger met her match in Psalm. As a fellow killer they had more in common than she cared to admit and it didn’t take long for him to start soldering away at the steel wall surrounding her heart. Psalm was a patient man and knew that Rugger was end game for him. There was no one else and he made sure she knew it! I loved him for her!
🤎Who needs roses and diamonds when your man fills Birkins with .22’s and .45’s 👜🔫
🤎It was that d*mn epilogue for me 😭🥺
🤎It was the inventions for me…. Rugger literally thought of everything.
I didn’t particularly care for the amount of times Richie was mentioned throughout the story. It’s like I get it and am a daddy’s girl myself but it was overkill. I also didn’t care for the way Chemistry is being written as this supreme being in their lives. Once again I get it and I love that they have a brother that cares so much about them and their well being but it reads a bit weird at times. Outside of that and the slow start to the book, I absolutely loved how things played out in the end and can’t wait to get a taste of the next sister!

“Let the hunting begin”
4.3 ⭐️ To be honest, I had trouble following the prologue since I was puzzled about Rugger and her way of thinking. I honestly believed she was borderline autistic or something. Personally, I believe The Grey List Book Series is Grey's finest depiction of males in the Huffington universe. I adored Psalms. He was the real Rugger match, the one who made her break down her barricades and embrace her feminine side. I mean, if a man is murdering to get your attention, how can he not be your soulmate? Psalm understood from the initial conversation that Rugger was the woman he was meant to be with and was prepared to sacrifice the life they had all pledged to. LISTEN THAT MAN HAD FAITH OKAY HE WAS WILLING TO DIE like LITERALLY GUN TO HEAD to give it a go and take a chance on love. I will add that Rugger remained a mystery and complicated; we only got a peek at her real character when she was with Psalm, and I appreciate that it was written that way. There wasn't much of a storyline in this novel, which I believe is refreshing. Sometimes all we need is a love story. We witness Psalm truly love Rugger in the manner she is supposed to be loved, and he clearly understands her love language. As we read each R sister's book, I can tell how essential Chemistry is in their lives; he's like their personal God. It reveals their vulnerability and weakness in some aspects since what he says is lawful. But it got a bit weird at the end... like I know that's your brother but let's touch grass. If you know me, you know I often say Grey has a habit of giving us partial endings, but the epilogue was simply amazing. I loved this book and in Grey, we trust so add this to your TBR.

The Huntress & The Hunter
When it came to Rugger’s book, I had a couple of key expectations:
• If she’s a k¡ller, show me (on page).
• Let the prologue’s POV be from Rugger.
Grey delivered on both counts. While the epilogue was long (that should be expected at this point), it didn’t feel overwhelming to me. Grey’s descriptive writing style brings even the smallest details to life.
Psalms felt like Rugger in male form. Both were deadly assassins (though Psalms was always ten steps ahead) and both were fiercely loyal to their families. The beginning of the book showcased them thriving in their respective elements, which I loved. The middle leaned heavily into their intense chemistry (there was a lot of hunching), but the ending more than made up for it—an emotional rollercoaster I didn’t see coming! I’ve been critical of Grey’s incomplete epilogues in the past, but this time, I was satisfied.
That said, I still walked away with a few lingering questions, particularly about Psalms’ profession and the mysterious “superiors” they serve.
Overall, Rugger’s story was a good addition to the series (the best in Clarke so far, in my opinion), and I’m excited to dive into The Madam’s story next.

85% slow burn to hurry up and get to the point to 15% HEA is nasty work!
The excessively long prologue worked the first time but I’m over them now, it was very hard to get through.
Psalm carried this story on his shoulders and the last 15% of the story carried it to 4 stars.
Rugger’s obsession with Richie 🫣🤦🏽♀️
The relationship between Chem and his sisters is borderline creepy. If I didn’t know he was their brother I would think that there was some kind of underlying sexual connection between them.

Ammunition for Love
🎵🎶We gon' do it like it's 'bout to be the end of the world And they depended on us to make earth shaking love🎶🎵
When Psalms was singing this song in his head I already knew he was gonna be my type of man cuz 2012 is my jam!!
Psalms was such a beautiful man! He had been alone for over 16 years because his career made love and connections a liability. However, everything he thought was true went out of the window when he saw Rugger. He was immediately smitten. Yesss to the mc falling first and boy did he fall hella hard. The ENERGY shown to gain her attention, keep her attention, and shower her with love was just everything. This man was willing to sacrifice everything for her 😫 Added him to the bookbae list expeditiously ❣️
Rugger, was a tough nut to crack. Her whole life she too steered clear of love and attachments. She was secure with the love of her family and her guns. That was enough for her. She was content until she met Psalms and realized for the first time ever, life could be so much more....even for her. The slow crumbling of the walls she had built around her mind and heart was satisfying to watch. I love when she started to step into her vulnerability, her soft girl era because Psalms was always 10 steps ahead protecting her. Listen the plot twists had my stomach in literal knots. Well done Grey, and for once the epilogue was sweet. I'm also excited for the "hunting to begin."
The signature Big love that Grey is known for was loud and strong. She did such a good job meshing the world of two people who set out to be loners. I almost didn't make it to the goodness, the Prologue was rough to read. It was low-key boring and weird until Psalms was introduced. The obsession Rugger has with Richie and Chemistry weirded me out. The use of the word "baby" amongst older siblings is just odd to me. However, it's worth it to stay down because a beautiful story unfolds.

3.5 ⭐️I am a huge Grey Huffington fan. I was looking forward to reading Rugger’s story. Unfortunately for me, this book wasn’t a favorite. It didn’t get good until about 40%.
I’ve over the long prologues. This book was so slow and at one point I didn’t know if I would finish.
I love the relationship the sisters have. Sometimes the relationship they have with Chemistry seems a little weird.
I didn’t like the plot twist but understood why it was done. The last 15% or so was really good. I enjoyed the ending. I’m happy that Rugger found the love that she thought would never have.

I could not blink too much with this story.
Every time I think Grey has outdone herself, well, she does that thing again. I expected Rugger to be gritty, I was not ready for her sassy style of taking on each case. When she met Psalms, I was happy dancing about their strong connection. I hoped that Rugger would find her peace. For a minute, I was really worried that Psalms wasn't the answer. Somewhere in the plot, the author decided to make us sweat. Warning! Don't ever get it twisted and bet against Chemistry for a minute. Somehow, I knew he would solve the problem dealing with his sisters. That man loves with his whole heart. No spoilers... but for real, you need to sit, be ready, talk to the book, scream, and then be joyful at the end of this one. Whew! 4.75 stars...

Grey Huffington is a leader of a cult and I am a member. Because tell me why when this book dropped I had to read, in-between everything going on in life, I had to read it and boy was it worth it. The author has a way of taking you on an emotional roller coaster which will have you being on so many highs and lows but it's so worth it because it just makes the story better. I think that the sisters idolise Chemistry a little too much for my liking, it's as if he is perfect and he raised them instead of their mother and father.

4.25⭐️ 3🌶️
Finally! This is what l've been waiting for! Rugger felt like a Christmas present for me. I knew Rugger would be my favorite from the first time we met her. I wanted a no nonsense badass assassin and Grey delivered. I have never read a prologue and thought, "Damn, that was everything ! needed already." 👏🏾
Rugger has been my girl since she told Egypt she was going to end her...and I mean...l wouldn't have been mad....😂
Rugger's journey to feeling whole, stepping into her femininity, and trusting someone other than her siblings or parents was beautiful to witness. No one could bring this out of her except The Hunter.
"Hearing you speak this way, seeing you look this way, feeling you soften this way, makes it all make sense." - Sonnie.
Project 189, Sonnie - This man was laying it on thick from the first time he laid eyes on her. But what man in Huffington isn't?! I called Chemistry healthily obsessed and Sonnie fit the bill with Gazelle. I loved that we were able to get some background information on Sonnie and why he is who he is, but I would've loved to know more about his superiors and what they requested of him and his ties to the Triad, if any. I can definitely see him making some Huffington Men lists because not only did he pull out all the stops for Gazelle, he carried her burdens and gave her a new outlook on familiar experiences.
One thing I didn't want for Rugger was for her to dim her light or put down her weapons because of love. I didn't want her to throw it all away for a certain type of soft life because I believe women can literally do anything and still have the life we desire. Of course we can be assassins and enjoy the soft life. She didn't dim her light. Love entered her space in a different form and enhanced everything around her. 🤎
🖤What I Loved: Everything about Rugger - Every scene and convo with the sisters - Jru - Finally witnessing Rather being the therapist - The end omg!

Whew, let me tell you, I almost didn’t finish this one, and now I’m so glad I powered through. Rugger had me teetering on the edge of a DNF, and I was mad about it because I’m such a big fan of Grey Huffington. The beginning felt choppy, the sentences didn’t flow, and I couldn’t vibe with Rugger as a character at all. I was sitting there wondering if it was supposed to read like that or if I was just missing something.
But then I hit the 40% mark, and things started to shift. It gave me Mr. and Mrs. Smith vibes—sharp, action-packed, and fiery in all the right ways. That was the spark I needed, and I finally felt like the story found its groove.
However, I’ll admit, I wanted less of Rugger’s siblings constantly popping in and more of just Rugger and Psalm’s dynamic. The side convos Rugger had with her sisters? Cute, but distracting. I came here for the main event: Rugger and Psalm’s love story.
And let’s talk about that ending—because WOW, that’s where this book shined. It took until a certain scene (over 80% in!) for me to feel truly connected, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down. I didn’t love Rugger’s character most of the way through, but by the end, I got her. She and Psalm? They needed each other in ways that were raw, unfiltered, and perfectly imperfect.
Even with its heavy, choppy style, I couldn’t help but wonder if the writing was meant to mirror Rugger and Psalm’s rough edges and jagged journey. Chemistry came through strong (as always, patriarch vibes for his siblings, am I right?), but man, if I had to hear him say "baby" one more time, I might’ve screamed.
Bottom line: the start was tough, but the payoff was worth it. The last few chapters? Chef’s kiss. I wish I could spill all the tea, but spoilers are sacred. Just know that if you stick with it, the ending will make you feel all the feelings. ❤️

Grey! Step outside, we not gon jump you.
The way I slept walked through the first 80 percent of this book just to be violently awakened has me ready to see about Grey! She dragged me for filth and I was like 0 outta 10 but in true Grey fashion, it all came full circle and I have to trust her lol.
Watching Rugger fall in love was epic. Sonnie had her softer than baby shyt. She couldn’t handle the pressure and I get why baby girl, I get it. Sonnie boy was a problem, harder than Chinese arithmetic. I love a tough, lover boy. Ain’t nothing better and Sonnie embodied that through and through.
Noteworthy moments:
The sibling discourse, especially Roulette vs. Rugger.
Psalms applying pressure like Rugger was bleeding out, it was the 34 gifts, the matching PJs, and the stolen contracts.
Rugger was literally a black widow in every sense of the title. I found that most interesting about her. I enjoyed that she didn’t put up a big fight and conceded when she saw that Psalms was really him. I was prepared for her to do the most but was pleasantly suprised that she didn’t.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW.
Yo, Idk how I feel about Chem lightweight threatening Egypt with a change in their relationship if she didn’t take her weapon off Rugger. That bothered me. She was literally defending her husband against what seemed to be an immediate threat and because she did not fully understand their twisted dynamic, it was like she was reprimanded for it. Had me looking at Chem different.
Anywho. 4.3⭐️.

Psalms applying pressure like Rugger was bleeding out, it was the 34 gifts, the matching PJs, and the stolen contracts.
Rugger was literally a black widow in every sense of the title. I found that most interesting about her. I enjoyed that she didn’t put up a big fight and conceded when she saw that Psalms was really him. I was prepared for her to do the most but was pleasantly suprised that she didn’t.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW.
Yo, Idk how I feel about Chem lightweight threatening Egypt with a change in their relationship if she didn’t take her weapon off Rugger. That bothered me. She was literally defending her husband against what seemed to be an immediate threat and because she did not fully understand their twisted dynamic, it was like she was reprimanded for it. Had me looking at Chem different.
Anywho. 4.3⭐️.

4/5 ⭐️ | Rugger + Sonnie gave ‘03 Bonnie + Clyde (on-the-run) vibes. They lived in a kill or be killed world, where love didn’t exist, until them. The love and compassion that broke done their barriers did it for me. We love to see our black women loved properly.
It was a SLOW start but Grey got the job done. I’m happy

I was disappointed reading this… compared to other body’s of work It didn’t feel like a gray Huffington book. Witnessing Ruggers development was nice to read. Everything I experienced reading this could have been summed up in 4 chapters.

The Huntress
Grey has outdone herself once again!! I didn’t think I’d love another MMC as much as Priest but lo and behold Psalms. He was exactly what Rugger needed and I love him for her. I cried twice reading this and I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone. I can’t wait for The Madam (Roulette)!!!!

The books keep getting better and better. Ngl the ending of the book gave me whiplash lol I knew well enough to expect the unexpected. I kept asking myself “how is the author going to wrap this up”. Wrap it up she did! 🫶🏾 Gotta love an unhinged and PERSISTENT MMC! Psalm delivered just that! I enjoyed it!

To many unnecessary words. Made it to chapter 3 and probably skipped 60% of the words. The Grey List isn’t giving the same vibe as her other books…or I’m just over all the extra words.

We all know Grey is in a lane of her own. This how you write a book. She going to knock it out the park each time.
Mic drop ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rugger & Psalms.
They are intense .
They are consuming.
They are unparalleled.
They are ruthless.
They are sexy.
They are thrilling .
They are clever.
They will Pursue.
Those two are everything and then some…. Grey always does just what she was meant to do and each book gets better & better she is GREATNESS!
I was captivated every minute every second Rugger was worth every second I’ve waited for her.
Teddy is inimitable.
The girls are mind - blowing .

Okay now Grey Huffingtom didn’t have to send me on such an emotional rollercoaster. There was love, hesitation, spice, sorrow, found family and so much more. I BALLED my eyes out you here me, but something told me Grey had something up her sleeve. Another book written to perfection.
Of course I loved the names in the book, Rugger & Psalms. Their nicknames for each other were even cuter. There were twists and turns, growth, self reflection, all the things. Who doesn’t love a man who will literally burn down the world for his woman!? Who also doesn’t love a woman as equally duranged and in love with her man?! Well I’ll tell you does, me lol 🤭 burn the world for me baby!
And since there are 7 sisters at least one of them gotta be queer (cough cough, wink wink lol)

Because baby if it’s one thing Grey Huffington Gone do is gone write a man. Strong, Chocolate, UNHINGED, but your dream man!!! The way Psalms done baked this woman a cake!!! After stalking her to make sure no other man can touch her 🤤🤤🤤!! YES PLEASE 😆!!!
All while being a wordsmith and making you swoon and fall in love with her and her writing & the character. She gone give all the big words and all the feels!💕❤️🔥
Then she gone end your swooning with a shocker, heartbreak & a scare for the ages!!!! Baby when she said she saw blood I liked to throw my kindle clean out the window !! Cause you just can’t take Sonnie from me
Like that …. I refuse. As bad as a cliff hanger I had to stop and walk away I was too scared to keep reading 😭😭. I’m tearing up cause my heart is Rugger’s and I feel this pain just as deep. This is my man my man my man 🥹…
Then she gone put you back together. Lord on the beach 🏖️ he walks up!! Lord I coulda passed out. I knew I was dreaming… I didn’t know what was happening. I was reading so far lol I had to go back 2 start over 😞🙈…. Grey Huffington is literally my favorite writer. Her writing is top tier and there are few people on her level.

“Hearts will be involved.”
“As they should be,” he told me, “I’ve walked around with my heart in my head for far too long. It’s time it be put back in my chest. And, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’re the woman for the job.” “What if I break it?” “Then, I’ll patch that motherfucker up so you can try again. And again. And again.” “And, if you break mine?” “I won’t.”
- Rugger, p. 194
When I say Book 3 did not disappoint!!!! Rugger and Psalms definitely added to the list of reasons why Grey Huffington will always be an auto-buy/read author for me.
Rugger was everything I would have imagined an assassin would be. Being an alpha female, she wasn’t one easily tamed.
Psalms was the man who made her become the most beautiful version of who she was destined to become.
This book had me in a whirlwind and I loved every last bit of it.

RUGGER!!!!!!! My fave omg. I expected this to be some cold hearted tale to be honest yall. My baby Rugger gotta HEART okay! I love a good twin flame vibe. SONNIE IS MY MANNNNN OKAYYYYY. I love show he stepped from the moment he saw her. I love LOVE them together. The dedication, the LOVEEEE, the communication!!!!!!
I’m not gonna lie tho, when he was shot I was pissed tf off because I was like Grey please don’t play with me right now!!! But the whole time I was reading I was scared something was gonna happen like that anyway. So once he was shot I was like ain’t no way, he prolly faked his death lol. I expected like a 2 years later update type situation. Didn’t expect Chemistry to be in on it but it made sense.
But I’m so happy my girl got such a beautiful story. I love that for her. For Sonnie too. Rugger is my fave and idk how Grey gonna top this one!

Rugger x Psalms
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Ms. Grey Huffington, I need you to step outside because you have some explaining to do! The way you snatched my heart out of my chest cavity and then shoved it back in was so unnecessary and cruel!
All joke’s aside, I am a HUGE fan of Grey’s work and this did not disappoint. This was a beautifully written love story that flowed like poetry. There were so many feelings and so much emotion that you could literally feel the love oozing from the pages. Aside from the slow start and Grey’s signature prologue, this was a very good book and I highly recommend.

It was good , it’s more like a 3.8 definitely a slow burner
I loved Rugger and Psalm dynamic towards the end it was more better and it speed up; Rugger opened up a little more , but both of them are good with the pistol true assassins lol

Grey you better write! Emotional roller coaster!!
It’s been a while since I’ve left a review …period! With that being said/written Grey Huffington has disturbed my entire soul with Rugger…you hear/read me?! My En-Ty-Er Soul! It’s 3 books in one -to me!
It starts off with a slow build and all is well. Then the meet, the chase, the love and the heartbreak in book 2-again-to me will have you in every emotion you own! And the finale!!!! Oh My Heart!
Grey, Grey and Grey…my young sis did her thang!
I wish I could give details without spoilers! But I can’t, cause I’m a reader and have no boundaries! Just know Chemistry is a beast! A God! A king! A ride or die for his sisters! Psalms… If I can’t be loved like that…Imma just throw the whole man away, and Rugger given the grace to just Be…Baebae just get this in all formats!
I read it and now Imma get it where I can just listen to this and grab my tissues!
A definite recommend read(if I didn’t advocate that)!!!

After the prologue, I knew I was in for a wild ride—I even had to pour myself a drink to prepare (@sirdavis)! This was my first book of the year, and I’m so glad I waited to take my time with reading it because it truly delivered. Rugger is a fierce, no-nonsense huntress who’s deeply loyal to her pack and determined to protect her own. Ms Grey outdid herself with the story build, making it so easy to get lost in this world.
The story gave me major Mr. and Mrs. Smith vibes but with way more passion and intensity. The slow-burn romance woven into all the action and suspense was everything! The tension between Rugger and her love interest kept me hooked, and I loved watching their bond grow despite the challenges they faced. And although I kind of expected the outcome, I still cried through the last four chapters. It was that good!

BRAVO! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♾️|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
This story was so eloquently written (to the research, the story plot, the layout, the character development). This short review I am attempting to write will not do it justice. I am an awe! This is probably the best book I’ve read in 2024 and that’s saying a lot, because I’ve read some amazing books. Psalm is my favorite MMC this year hands DOWN! He was so smooth, thoughtful, and stayed ten steps ahead. Their power exchange throughout the story was amazing to read.
The story towards the end put me through the wringer. I am not a crier, but I cried 3 times. Also can we talk about the spice!? 👏🏾 Very well done!
I’m convinced there will NEVER be a Grey Huffington I don’t love! She doesn’t miss! 💖

This book def gave me Mr. and Mrs. Smith vibes and I loved it, well once we got past the prologue. Ya'll know Grey gone always give us a wordy ass prologue.
I love how Psalm infiltrated Rugger's heart. He seemed to always be a few steps ahead of her in his pursuit, never doing things by chance. They were always done with a purpose, and that purpose was Rugger.
Two people found love in a world where trust is a luxury. Their bond defies logic, their loyalty is unshakable, and their love story will definitely be unforgettable to me (September 12 is my birthday). I will always remember that epilogue.
I am glad we got the action we needed and wanted from Rugger's story. She did not play at all!!

Unfortunately this book really let me down :((( Normally I am a lover of anything Grey Huffington, but I felt that this book was just long, descriptive and quite bland.
The long prologues can sometimes be really hard to read. Also the relationship with Chemistry can sometimes be a little codependent. However, I do love me some Chemistry 🥰🥰 so I felt like any scene with him automatically made the book better.
The last couple of chapters after Psalms incident were honestly the only part I enjoyed, felt like they revealed a lot to me about their relationship beside him being obsessed with her.
Sad to rate this so low😭🥹 Hopefully Rugger is a LOT better.
