"They wanted a puppet. They created a Queen."

"In Sanctum Harbor, even the devils fear my name."

Weeks in captivity.
A stepfather hungry for power.
A town on the brink of chaos.

I played Marco's game to save a lover's life, but I'm done being a pawn.

Gavin's fighting ghosts,
Tell's losing hope, and Evan...
Evan might be lost forever.

When I return to Sanctum Harbor, it's with an army at my back and ice in my veins.
But this town has more secrets than I bargained

A drug turning citizens into mindless zombies.
A forced marriage that could seal my fate.
A long-lost love returned... without his memories.

And the biggest bombshell of all?
My mother's alive, holding the key to everything.

Now I'm in a race against time, battling psychos and unearthing deadly treasures.
With three men by my side and a town to save, failure isn't an option.

Because in this game of sinners and saints,
I'm the wildcard they never saw coming.

Great conclusion to an amazing trilogy. The author once again brings strong characters and weaves an interesting , action packed story filled with passion and steam. She moves the story fluidly with her descriptive scenes and delivers another terrific book. I loved and recommend this book/series.

What a way to close out an absolutely stellar series! When the finale of the last book left all the main characters hanging in limbo, I was on the edge of my seat, desperate to know what would happen next—and I was not disappointed. Without giving away any spoilers, let's just say: buckle up, because you're in for one hell of a ride. Despair looms large as we rejoin our heroes, each facing battles that push them to their limits. Hellena’s harrowing time with Marco, who’s dead set on “convincing” her to fall in line, is nothing short of brutal. But a secret visit from Tell shakes things up, pushing Hellena to take matters into her own hands in a totally unexpected way. Meanwhile, the whole gang is back in action, with Ora and Alaya stepping up to rally the survivors of Sanctum Harbor after the floodwaters recede. If Ora’s fierce, sassy spirit had me hooked in the previous books, Alaya completely stole the show this time. She’s effortlessly cool, a total badass, and just impossible not to love. Gavin and Tell are in the mix, but where’s Evan? And as if the chaos wasn't enough, a dangerous new drug called Devo is wreaking havoc, turning half the town’s population into deranged maniacs. From start to finish, it’s non-stop action with barely a second to catch your breath. With all the storylines coming together, this final installment is by far the most fast-paced of the trilogy. But for me, the heart of the book—and what made it truly unforgettable—is the underlying story of Hellena and her three guys. Nothing made me happier than seeing these four finally reunited. There’s still a long road ahead for them and for Sanctum Harbor, but it promises to be one wickedly sinful journey!

What a great conclusion to this trilogy. Once again, the author wove a web of intrigue and mystery with a great storyline and strong, well thought out MCs. It was full of action and enough spice and steam to wet the pages and leave your fingers dripping!

Each MC was facing their own battle and trying to come out the other side. The addition of Ora and Alaya to the group was brilliant and they each bought their own version of bad-assery to the mix. The women in these books are strong, fierce, and hella-scary! They all absolutely rock and shine.

With Gavin and Tell running interference and trying their best, you notice the absence of Evan...he has a whole other story to tell, and it was captivating to read how this unfolded.

This book tells so many stories but the most beautiful is the one of Hell and her three guys. The road travelled to bring them back together was full of pain, heartache, anger and desperation but when they finally come together as one, it was beautiful, magical and super hot!

These books molded together perfectly to tell the story of Sanctum Harbor and it was wickedly sinful to read! What an absolute gem of a story.

Well the 3rd book didn't let me down. It was good as the first 2. The story continuing on, following Hellena, Gavin, Evan and Tell trying to hunt down the rest of the Sinful. Trying to find out what is at the heart of this group; is it power, wealth, knowledge/secrets or all 3. But you also have Marco, Hellena's step-father who is determined to be the one to make Sanctum his and use Hellena to access all of it.

The end of book 2 left everything up in the air and this book ties it all together nicely. It has humour, it has intrigue and it has drama. It has hate and jealousy and corruption but it also has so much hot and steamy loving!! Just get your fans at the ready ladies!!

I've really enjoyed this series especially Ora, she is so funny but also Alaya, she is that lovable psycho, that we'd like to have. It's been nice to see how Hellena has brought the best out in her men too, how much love and compassion she has to go around.

The final installment of this series keeps you on your toes until the last chapter! Hellena is being held by Marco and he is forcing her to marry him. Tell is let go by Marco's men when Hellena agrees to marry him and he is left on the side of the road where a friend finds him. Evan is missing. Gavin is floundering trying to figure out what to do next. This has even more action than the last book and keeps you guessing through the whole thing. But in the end everyone gets their HEA. There is some steam (not as much as book 2) but loads of action and deception from all sides and in general a very well developed plot and ending that answers all the questions.

Sad to say bye (Contains small spoilers)

This was a great series, I loved Hell and her guys and who could not love Ora from the moment they met in the cell she was awesome. Her and Hell were firecrackers together. With the Addition of Alaya and Sing an unstoppable force. Angel was hard to read at parts, I would have liked to have heard his inner thoughts when he stopped Rachelle and Evan took back over. I was hoping for odd questions to be answered at the end like? Although Rachelle killed the sinful , one of which Looked like the Senator Hellena danced with? Hell's thoughts for another day, I really wanted those answers lol. But damn did I love this series.
HEA, Medium Burn, Spice, Angst, lots of plot twists, Multi Pov

What Next?

The earth-shattering conclusion to the Sinful, Sanctum Harbor and the Block was shocking to say the least. Surprising revelations and secrets continue to pour out and cause chaos. At the beginning of this story, we find Hellena, and her men have all been separated. The elegant weave of plot and character development was intense, emotional and suspenseful. Entertaining and exciting to read, the ending did not disappoint.

Arc review

Firstly, this series must be read in order.

A complex read that may/may not appeal to all readers. This is a strict, read in order to understand. The sinful 7, Sanctum Harbor - it all came down to Greed & Power for some. Having used lethal drugs to control the town. Resurrection /Death/Zombies/Drugs and a war to save a town. The final instalment delved deeper, so be patient.

Each reader will have an opinion of the series.

Hell suffered but also survived.

Hopefully you took my advice with the glass of wine and chocolate to help you cope with the last book. Yes? Thank god because this time you will need the whole damn bottle! It more than packs a punch.
I have seriously loved reading this series more than I have a lot of books recently.
If you want a series that quite literally grabs you by the throat and holds on tight then get ready for the ride of your life and read this series.

This is a great wrap to the series. Lisa Cullen does a fantastic job with her characters. Hellena is in love with three me, Gavin, Tyler aka Tell and Evan. She is at one point in this book being forced to marry her very evil stepfather. Hellena along with her friends and lovers and loyal fighters battle the crazed drugged enemy for the future of Sanctum Harbor. Don't miss a minute of this three book series.

Get his men to trust her and take back her home. Only problem is she never expected her Aunt to be part of the problem. Like the characters Best if read with the rest of Sanctum Harbor series.

Hellena, Evan, Tell, and Gavin's story's ending has even more twists and turns, some expected and some, total surprises. For much of this book, the fates of our foursome are in doubt, but the action, drama, steam, and surprise continue to the last page. This series has been a real rollercoaster of a read in the best possible way. This was a 5-star ending.

The book picks up where book 2 left off. Hellena is taken captive by Marco. Marco wants to force her to marry him so that he can control the 7. The guys definitely struggled with Hell being gone. They are trying to find her and prevent the town from falling apart. They don’t know who to truly trust anymore.
I enjoyed this book. There was a lot of action in this one especially from the guys as they fought to get Hell back and get rid of Marco. The spice was spicing in this one and I loved it.

This is the final book in the sanctum Harbor Sinners trilogy. And what a way to end the series. For me the books built on me because the first book was okay the second book was way better the third book was amazing.

I have so enjoyed this series and was so glad I could read this third book straight after the second book. It brings this trilogy to an amazing conclusion. I love the way Lisa weaves so much action and drama into this story as well as such palpable chemistry, heat and steam.

The story is fast-paced and very descriptive I recommend this trilogy wholeheartedly.

[Jody · Rating 5 out of 5]

After reading two wonderful cliffhanger endings on the prior installments of the Hell series, this final book was all tied up nicely. This story of Hellena and her guys, the downfall of their town and the resulting adventures they go through was a wonderful action read.

I loved this story.

Just finished Hell breaks loose. And I felt it was the same as the previous 2 books of the series. This one did have more action (ie fighting) so it wasn’t just some drama here and there. It does end in HEA the spice was good. Some parts of the book felt a bit rushed, like the author didn’t know what else to write for the scene.

This is the third and final story in the "Sanctum Harbor Sinners" trilogy. They must be read in order. This one picks ups where the last one left off and It completes the trilogy. It is a steamy and spicey read with dark themes, action, suspense, danger, passion and much, much more. I love the epilogue.

[Pam M · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is a great conclusion to the series! You need to read the 3 books in order to follow the story. There are so many great characters and action packed events that if you don't read them in order you'll be lost. The first 2 books end in cliffhangers but this one thankfully ends with a HEA. Great series!!

[Eve · Rating 4 out of 5]

It all ends here.
That was a very intense and emotional three book experience, the cliffhanger’s were rough.
It all comes down to who will be on top when everything burns down.
Hellena is powerful and breathtaking!
Definitely worth reading.

HELL BREAKS LOOSE is the title of the book, and is exactly what happens in this last book of the trilogy. Hellena and her men somehow manage to make it through, but how scarred they become along the way... you'll have to read it for yourself as secrets are finally uncovered and questions answered...

Hellena and her men are back and so is all the drama, intrigue and secrets. A wild ride with lots of great characters, a wild story and so much fun. Learn more about the boys and their secrets and watch Hellena come more into her own. The ending was wild so worth the read.
