Erebus Assassins #3
Damaged
Could they even be together when they were forever one step away from death?
-Rogue
Wrath wants him and Rogue knows it.
But he’s not good enough for Wrath—a man who is liked by everyone.
And Wrath has roots. And him? He’s a drifter now that he’s free.
Plus, he struggles with his past and the things he’s done.
So as far as Rogue is concerned, he’s going to hell for them.
And there is no way he is pulling Wrath down with him.
-Wrath
He couldn’t pinpoint what it was about Rogue that kept him coming back.
But one thing was for certain, he was not going to quit Rogue.
The big, quiet, and intense assassin with the storm-colored eyes holds his heart.
Only Rogue thinks he’s too damaged to give them a try.
Wrath aims to change that—if Rogue will let him.
But honestly?
He is getting tired of being the only one who wants to give them a try.

Almost hit the heights
I wrote a fairly detailed review, the Kindle app lost it as usual and peed me off.
Anyway, I'll summarise - liked the relationship, plot wasn't as crazy as some of the previous has been, body count much more 'reasonable', head-hopping drives me insane.
This one got even worse with the head-hopping as it chucked in random one or two sentence thoughts from people who weren't even the main POVs within a single paragraph.
I just don't understand why that would be a specific choice to confuse the narrative and the reader!
Either way Rogue and Wrath were a good match and I liked how they navigated their way through the obstacles towards a healthy relationship.

I liked it more than I expected, and even before reading I knew it will be good.
Since we already got stories about Echo and Fisher, I knew the next one will be about the 3rd part of the 'Big Three' of Solomon Assassins.
In the two previous books, we get some snippets of Wrath and Rogue. And I was totally surprised and caught off guard with Wrath. Also the previous did mention that he is the oldest of the 3 brothers, but it didn't really mention that he's the smallest, it definitely struck me while reading this book.
I liked the plot, nothing was boring here.
The only small drawback for me was the amount of characters at the end, with not much action explained. Although I pray that there will be another series about Genesis guys and maybe a continuation here about the Young Assassins - although they were getting on my nerves most of the time with "Oh, look how badass assassin am I" while also escaping, running around amok, kind of whining and just overall boo with the world; totally adding to the stereotype of a teenager even if some already turned 18. I do understand that the trauma they lived through is nothing to make fun of and is a very very serious subject no one should be exposed to. But if they want to be treated as adults, then act as one.
Pairing ranking:
1. Echo & Ice
2. Fisher & Justice; Wrath & Rogue (I can't tell which one was better, because both had something I didn't like and something I loved, so here they go being together in the 2nd place)

Quick read, emotional healing
A large part of these recent books seems to be healing the emotional wounds from the actions in earlier books with victims of Solomon. Still a lot of references to child abuse and sex trafficking. I think it’s an important topic to address including the long lasting impacts on the victims. Not sure if turning everyone into an assassin is the answer but it works in this context.
This book is Wrath and Rogue’s story. Wrath has been determined to get Rogue to take a chance with him and Rogue, feeling he is undeserving of love or happiness has avoided it at all costs. In this book Wrath finally is in a position to wear him down. We also get some closure for more victims and are introduced to characters who will clearly be MCs in upcoming books.
Not quite sure how I feel about a former Secretary of Defense being behind extra judicial killing groups but in this case it’s sure as hell better than the incompetent, corrupt scum that makes up our current administration. Frankly we probably need Dave and his men to deal with people like our current president and his ass kissing minions who were involved with Epstein. I think if groups like Pegasus and Erebus, and Genesis and Phoenix existed under the leadership of people like Rossi and Dave and Giovanni the names in the Epstein files would be facing a whole lots of worries other than where to spend their billions!

I loved this dark story as Wraith fought to convince Rogue that he deserves love and to be happy no matter the events of the past. They also had lots of work to do against the men who trafficked and weaponised children. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

When SecDef Dave put Solomon in charge of his new team of civilian assassins Erebus, he saw them going after the worst of criminals who had eluded justice. He did not know that Solomon had his own secret team of assassins, pre-teen, and teen boys he had taken off the streets and caged and turned into assassins. Those same boys were abused and those that did not suit his purposes were sold.
Wrath works for Erebus and he often crosses paths with Rogue in his office getting assignments or out on jobs. Erebus and Wrath are both trying to get Rogue to join, but Rogue is too much of a loner. Rogue has also stolen Wraith’s heart but he knows he isn’t good enough for Wrath.
This story has been building for a while in the first two books of the series. So glad to see them get their HEA. This may be the best of the series so far

Rogue and Wrath have been circling each other for a couple books now. Rogue has a traumatic history and doesn’t feel he deserves love, for multiple reasons- poor guy. Wrath knows, to some extent, some of the things Rogue has been through and Wrath wants to be that safe place, his person, someone who can help him fight his demons with him. It’s a run and catch type game with these two, there’s some action and suspense and a hard fought HEA. I love that we get to see some of the younger assassins again- I love the way Reese brings the younger characters into the stories, they grow up in the books and eventually have their own story like a second generation. I love seeing the setup for future couples and look forward to seeing their stories unfold!

Wow
This was an amazing story that I couldn’t put down once I started reading it. Rogue is such an abused character who is just going with the flow through life till he can’t go anymore. He thinks that his past is one he can never move on from. Thinks he’s a horrible person who did horrible things. The truth is he is as abused as the rest of the boys who were held captive by an evil man.
Wrath is a sweetheart who wants to make rogues life better. He has chased rogue and tried to make him understand that they belong together no matter rogues past. This story is fasted paced and full of suspense and mayhem. It has a lot of twist and turns. It’s an exciting road to love for one man who is broken and one who wants to protect and love all the pieces of him.

Not a bad story but!!!
Not bad, but the start was Wrath getting to work with Rogue to bring Rebel back, half way through Savage rings Rogue and saying they know where Rebel is. Wrath gets upset and says who is Rebel and you never told me you are working for Savage. Um, Wrath did know, because the book started out with them tracking Rebel. Like WTF!!!
Reese really needs and list of all the charters and who is who and who is related to who even though they move around.
Too many names get thrown around.
For professionals best of the best, they get hurt a lot and the bad people get the jump of them a lot.
Did like the younger boys.
And please for the love of god do a Dave and Stone book especially as Dave is 61, let him have some happiness before he is too old.

Damaged is the third book in the Erebus Assassins' series and should really be read in order, better yet read the entire universe of books. This is a hurt/comfort, action filled, unrequited love book about Wrath and Rogue. If you have read the previous books in the series you know that these two have been circling around each other for a long time, I was so happy to read their story. Now you just really need to get to Dave and Stone, unfortunately I feel like if that happens we won't be seeing any more of these guys, so it's a catch 22. As always with Reese, their are some awesome characters and a great storyline that I could not put down.

Wrath and Rogue knew each other for 2 years. Wrath knows that he has wanted Rogue from the beginning and has not wanted to push. When they end up together for a job and Wrath’s prior injury started to bleed, he took him home. When he doesn’t hear from him in 3 days, he went to take care of him. This is the start of their story as how they worked together to help with the younger members in their found family. I love this world; there is heat, chemistry, action and suspense. Cannot wait to read more.

Rogue and Wrath forever
Rogue is so messed up from all the years of being a captive of Solomon.
Wrath has had a thing for the man for the last couple years and has no intentions of taking a no for an answer!
In this intriguing story Rogue and Wrath has to chase a lot of the bad guys and I do mean BAD!
Don't worry Reese was up to the challenge and she brings our teams thru with flying colors and keeps the Cleaners very busy!
Absolutely cannot wait for Crow and Rebel to be making their appearance!!!!

Erebus Assassins #3
Slowly but surely, Tanis and Solomon’s victims are being located. Like Mouse, not all will have a happy ending. This was really good and to my civilian and non military background or knowledge, it was realistic. I wish the writing process was faster. I hate to wait so long between books. When bored, I reread your older stories. Got to keep my friends alive and well.

Wrath and Rogue
Holy heck is this series good. All of these men and children have experienced so freaking much and it all broke my heart and had me choking up. I do wish a few things were added before it ended. Like with the brothers at the end. More of a wrap up with that situation. There are so many great characters. I need to go back and read the connecting series soon. I can't wait for the next book in this one.

Loved the book! Rogue carries a lot guilt for what he has done in the past. He thinks himself to broken to care for anyone.
Wrath is captivated by Rogue and will try anything to show him that he's not broken.
A great story revolving about a horrible childhood trauma and a man not giving up showing care.

Five stars and more. Absolutely loved this book but have to admit, I am a fan of all books written by Reese Knightley. If you are looking for a book packed with heroic drama, save the day drama, finding love drama, then this is the book for you. I recommend this book and others penned by Reese Knightley.

10* Hit me in the heart.
If you haven't started this series. You should. If you haven't started this series You should. This story, from 1 of my favorite authors was worth the wait. Suspense. Romance. Sexy times. Lots of action. I will admit that it's difficult to wait for the next book in the series. Wrath and Rogue took their sweet time figuring things out.

Much Anticipated Wrath & Rogue
Wrath and Rogue get their day, and it’s roller coaster you don’t want to miss. As much as we’ve learned about Rogue’s youth from Echo & Fisher’s books, we didn’t really get Rogue’s perspective other than self deprecating. It was danced around with a few self revelations mixed but a tad disappointing.

It was so worth the wait to witness Rogue and Wrath finding their way to each other! I absolutely loved them both as characters, with their complicated backgrounds and all, and I loved how the author chose to direct their paths. A very strong addition to the series!

Wrath and Rogue!
If I thought Echo and Fisher had a tortured past, they had nothing on Rogue. He felt so much guilt for the hand he had in past operations but luckily Wrath was very patient and handled Rogue with the lightest touch.

“Wrath should have come with a warning label or maybe a law that said touch at your own risk.” Mmhmm, love these boys, the danger they find, and the healing love they share.

These boys may not be traditional but they are falling in love all over the place. I love how protective they are and how their "crazy" just matches!
