No rating for this one. It was and it wasn’t what I expected. And Colton did a 180 and something unforgivable so unfortunately I won’t be able to recommend this series any longer.

Wowzers. This was wild from the start. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into until I started reading. But it did not disappoint. This is the prequel to Their Hallowed Queen and while I haven’t actually read the series yet I think it’s going to be amazing. It really dives into what’s going to happen and what’s to come for Marley and her men. It’s dark, in depth and shows who they start out as. There’s scenes that had me gasping for breath not knowing what was going to happen next. And other scenes that had me crying. But overall it was a really good read and I can’t wait to read the rest of this series!

Check the TW’s for this one as it is pretty dark and gruesome. Otherwise I definitely recommend!

This book was everything I love about dark romance — intense, twisted, and impossible to put down. Her Wicked Knightstakes the best parts of a bully romance and blends them with the heart-melting tension of a friends-to-lovers story, creating a ride that’s equal parts brutal and beautiful.

The characters were messy, magnetic, and unforgettable, and watching their relationship shift from pain and resentment to deep, undeniable love was addicting in the best way. Every chapter was charged with tension and emotion, keeping me glued to the pages and desperate for more. If you love your romance with a dark edge and a fierce emotional payoff, this one’s a must-read

ARC REVIEW:

Her Wicked Knights is a prequel novel to Their Hallowed Queen series. This is mostly the boys point of view and it was sinfully, delicious and dark. I enjoyed seeing the motivation behind their actions and a more detailed back story. I loved learning more about the boys and their obsession with Marley. The pining and tension in this book was incredible. Carly continues to keep things spicy, dark, depraved and interesting. This is an Erotic Horror Romance. Carly continues to be one of my favourite Horror Romance Authors.

This book had everything I crave in a dark romance intense, twisted, and utterly addictive. Her Wicked Knights combines the raw edge of a bully romance with the emotional pull of a friends-to-lovers story, creating something both brutal and beautiful. The characters were flawed, magnetic, and unforgettable, and watching their bond evolve from pain and resentment to fierce, undeniable love was completely captivating. Every chapter pulsed with emotion and tension, keeping me hooked until the end. If you love dark romance with depth and a powerful emotional payoff, this one’s a must-read.

To Be So Wicked

Want them boxes checked? Then you're in the right place. Definitely a roller-coaster ride in emotions.
The bits of back story is endearing and needed. It gives you the presepective. The characters whew! All kinda broken hm... but redeemable? The intensity between the old them and the new them and their past keeps weaving through.
Well wrote enjoyed the story and the characters.

I have no words to describe the hold that this world had on me. I devoured this book as much as it devoured me. This is a spicy, dark, and twisted. The world build is amazing and each book gives you just a little bit more background. Not too much, but enough to keep you around and craving more. If you haven't started this world, I highly recommend it. You will not regret it. Just be sure to check your trigger warnings.

One day read! This fills in all the gaps you’re missing and extra info from what you already knew. Kinda shocked by Colton’s actions but also not if that makes sense. It’s dark it’s a rollercoaster of emotions but it was needed. It’s great to see how the boys changed from younger selves to the grown up versions. One thing stuck true they loved their girl!

Another epics addition to the series a prequal the first 2 but works best after i think it uncovers clues and answers and still hooks you with suspense, dark themes, action, twists and I dont want to say more to spoil it but it's not to be missed!

Oooh!

I just loved this whole story line. I read this in the suggested order, so after the duet and it just made this one so much better! I love this author and I can't wait to dive into something else by her!

This book is the third book of the series and is a prequel to the other two. It fills in all the missing pieces and makes you fall in love with or hate the characters even more!

4.5 stars

Her Wicked Knights is a prequel to other books from this author, ones I have not yet read, but will need to after reading this prequel!

I went into it blind as I typically enjoy this author's work, so I did not have any idea what I was getting myself into, and this was an emotional ride, for sure. Twisted, a little dark at times, but captivating at the same time.

I was totally invested in the characters' lives and relationships. Now I just need to read the next books! I have so many questions and can't wait to get some answers.

This was so good! Glad I read book 1 both parts… what a rollercoaster this way… need more from this author 🩷

This book is everything I needed after THQ book 1&2. Getting the viewpoint of the guys learning who they were and how they felt about Marley before she knew was everything I hoped it be. Marley being so oblivious like they weren’t all drooling over her.
The world building was really good and lead right into THQ 1. It was fun knowing how they pulled off all the little things that made Marley feel crazy.
