Lucifer and the Saints #1
Penny for Your Saints
Revenge.
That’s the driving force in my life, sending me through the FBI academy and straight to the Behavioral Analysis Unit. I have one more stepping stone in front of me and all the resources to track my parents’ killer will be at my fingertips.
It was all coming together, then I’m pressured into reproductive leave, something I grudgingly agree to so my life stays on track… but everything backfires, and I now have two accept a mate bond, or kiss all my hard work goodbye.
That is until the decision is made for me, a small respite filled with ire and irritation.
‘The Saints’ take matters into their own hands, kidnapping me in hopes I have information on the Zeitnot virus, a deadly disease that has swept through the Omega and Sigma populations. My parents might have died for that information…
But I’d kill for it.
Do I delve into the mystery with a pack at my side, hoping our combined forces snuff out the traitors, or continue on my own, ignoring the heat that builds with every moment?
Lies, danger, intrigue, and heat. All this and more awaits Louise Penny in this first installment of Lucifer and The A Penny For Your Saints. Please see inside for the content warning.

A Penny For Your Saints: Violet Braxe
I ABSOLUTELY ATE THIS UP, and highly recommend to lovers of strong female leads, OVs and an action-packed (ha, get it?) adventure ♡
First and foremost: M’AM, HELLO?! The evolution of Violet’s writing is absolutely monumental. There was some confidence gained, and IT SHOWS. The dynamic in writing style is delicious, and I’d like to give major props to that.
Let’s dive in!
This is easily one of the most action-packed OV’s I’ve ever read. The level of intelligence to these characters, the GRIPPING scenes, an FMC that was written like a total badass (and she DELIVERS), and a new-to-me pack dynamic had me on the edge on my seat the whole way through.
Louise is literally my new favorite FMC in an OV of ALL TIME. She is smart, strong, and knows her way around a little violence. She has the depth that I have been craving- and is NOT a damsel in distress. Violet has set the bar for strong female leads, and now my expectations are HIGH. I adore the way she carries the plot and is SUCH a heavy hitter as far as character development goes.
The pack dynamic in Penny For You Saints is very new to me- and lemme tell ya. I ate it tf up.
The roles that all the characters play, and the way everything works, are both beautiful and angsty at the same time. The tension is right, the romance is right, the blend is a chef’s kiss.
Each one of the main characters is so individual and well crafted- it carries the plot with ease. They are so likable in their own way, and I LOVE that they are so easily distinguishable from each other as the story changes POVs.
The plot. PHEW. When I say this is one of the most organically action-packed plots I’ve ever read, I mean it. The way the story did not need to lean on shock-factor, and is truly a nod to genuine action/mystery. It had me cheering and screaming from the sidelines. I was fully invested all the way through, and personally loved the pace set for a thorough world and story building.
This book does end on a hell of a cliffhanger. So hang on to your socks while we wait for book two.

I didn't know what to expect from this Arc because it was a completely different direction from the other books that I read from Violet Braxe but that book kept me hooked the entire time!! I really liked the characters, the plot was intriguing and the mystery behind the virus made me want more. I highly recommend this book. however!! that ending? ma'am! that was unnecessary!

So I’ll admit it took a bit for me to get into the book but It was definitely a thrilling and entertaining read. There’s so much going on and not everything is as it seems. I really like Louise. She’s super smart and kick ass and love that she doesn’t put up at with any bullshit!
Alrighty, lets talk about them boys for a min…..I definitely love Q and Caz! Seb has taken me a bit of time but I do enjoy his broodiness! Frank…….Frank I am definitely having a hard time with especially after that ending! But definitely need to mention certain scenes filled with ‘Heat’….whoo boy, they are smoking!!
I really enjoyed this take on omegaverse with the added designations. It certainly made it more interesting and diverse. I really liked that. And holy shit there were certainly some twists in here! Kept me on my toes! Book 2 should be exciting!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Where do I start?
Kick-ass fmc, hot as sin men, great story line, and by story line I mean lots and lots of 🌶️🌶️ as well as an actual plot that has you on the edge of your seat from start to finish… this one ticks all of my boxes…. And that cliffhanger at the end…. OMFG!!!
I absolutely devoured this book. And I will be reading it again soon. I cannot wait for part two in this series.
Another absolute masterpiece from Violet. You wouldn’t know that this is her first venture into dark OV! Highly recommend!!

Penny For Your Saints, book 1 of the new Lucifer & Saints series, by Violet Braxe @VioletBraxe. The book was a slow pace & took until around 60% for me to get into it.
This was a good book about Louise, Frank, Cazimer, Sébastien & Quentin! Tropes: Contemporary, Omegaverse, Dark/Suspense, Why Choose, MM, FBI Agent, Mandatory Baby Reproduction (WTH!?), Kidnapping, Female Sigma, Male Omega, Male Theta, Male Alpha, Male Gamma, Found Family & A Brutal Cliffhanger! I am excited for the 2nd book!

Holy heck, what a cliffy!!! There is so much going on in this book, and I don’t even know where to start!!! Louise gets abducted in the name of finding the cure for a deadly virus and ends up with an unofficial pack of outlaws. Their chemistry is undeniable, but Louise has to decide which side she wants to be on. I can’t wait for the conclusion to this dark omegaverse story!

I have been debating endlessly about my rating for this book, because it has honestly been all over the place while reading. Because of that, I just picked an average number and would like to suggest reading my words rather than trusting the stars.
"Penny for Your Saints" is the start to a contemporary omegaverse duet that includes the FBI, law enforcement, corruption, conspiracies and quite a lot of secrets along the way. I enjoyed the overall storyline and how a simple investigation slowly turns into a whole mess with revelations nobody was really waiting for. It took me a while to get to this feeling though, because the first half of this book felt like an entirely different mess. I honestly had the feeling the author wanted to make sure spice was introduced as early as possible, so a lot of information had to be cramped into the first few chapters. I couldn't keep track of all the characters and background, and seriously debated keeping a notebook next to me to write it all down. Also, relationship building is non-existent before they start shedding clothes. I know some people prefer their books like this, but for me it was just way too much at once, and I think I would have prefered a trilogy with a slower burn level.
So, as a result, I really struggled with the first half of this book. It's one of the reasons why it took me that many days to get through it, but once I reached around 60% I started to see what the author wanted to achieve with this story. That was the time when everything started to make more sense in my mind, the flow of the storyline became less chaotic and the characters started become individual people instead of a bunch of them thrown together. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a book to know if this one will work for you or not. If you love fast burn, don't care about connections between the characters, want lots of spice (like 50% or more) and love to slowly unravel a mess, this might be perfect for you. I personally hope the second book will match with the second half of this book and not the first half, because that part wasn't for me. Still, I became invested in the storyline, and now I'm curious to find out if more fated mates will be added, or not.

The plot of this story kept me hooked throughout and the relationship was definitely different to the recent books I've read! The pacing was greatly done, all characters developed so well and can't recommend this enough! Our fmc, Louise, was kidnapped by the mercenary group, the Saints, who are also the love interests and I love their dynamic. You never see Sigma or Theta designations used in most omegaverse books so this was refreshing to see. With the kidnapping and the Saints completely changing Louise's world that she knew, we get taken on a rollercoaster of a journey and the book leaves you wanting more for the next part! The individual and group scenes are chef's kiss and such a good spicy.
Out of the love interests, we have Frank whose the leader who brought them all together and he is a very secretive guy and is very closed off. We see some of his past trauma unfold in the book but he is still keeping secrets close to his chest. Quentin is the surly muscled omega whose experienced his fair share of trauma when he was a child due to his designation and his connection to Louise from the past was really well done. Cazimer is one of my favourites out of all the men so far, he is the tech guy whose got piercings in the right places, is the more sweeter of the guys and has a more personal connection with our last love interest. Sebastien is our last main love interest whose a great cook, has a personal connection to Cazimer compared to the others and is very protective of everyone in the group.
Can't recommend the start to this new series enough! It was a refreshing take for me on omegaverse with Thetas and Sigmas being a main plot point.

Are you flipping kidding me with this cliffie???!!!! Ahhhh! Oh my gods! Okay now that is out of the way-so good!
Louise Penny is an FBI Age t being groomed to take over her particular branch by her mentor who is retiring. She lost both parents when she was in grad school and has used their death and her want for revenge to fuel her to the top. Now she’s being forced to take leave so she can mate and have a baby or she will never get promoted. The FBI sends her to a match/mate center where she is kidnapped by the Saints. They hope she has information on the Zeitnot virus, a deadly disease that has swept through the Omega and Sigma populations. They believe her folks created it for the government and a shadow organization called The Windmill. Now they want her help to stop the virus and the corrupt member of government and The Windmill. But the longer she stays with them and spends time the more heat and connection they all build. They’re forced to take shelter and survive Louise’s heat as a Sigma & Quentin’s as an Omega. That forces Frank (alpha), Caz (Theta), & Sébastien (Gamma) to tend to them throughout. They discover Louise’s parent’s old laptop hidden in a storage unit and what the key is to a cure for Zeitnot while also finding out they’re fated mates. They need to meet up with her parent’s old contacts to make a cure. But before they can escape Louise is caught by her old mentor and the troops. She discovers she’s been betrayed once again and we leave knowing who betrayed her. I cannot wait to read book two!

This author is new to me, however the genre I have not been particularly interested in but thought I would check both out.
Readers, if you love strong FMC’s and adventure packed with a lot of action, this book will pull you in and swallow you whole.
The author definitely knows how to target her audience with her style of writing, drawing them in and immersing them into the story. It was on point and could not be faulted.
Our FMC Louise knows how to take care of herself. She is both smart and strong. This woman doesn’t need anyone to hold her hand, she is proof that given the depths and dynamics of her character she can handle anything and everything that comes her way.
The characters in the story all play different roles, despite the angst, their dynamics are a beautiful combination, loving each other the right way, even when tensions are running high, everything works and blends perfectly together.
There is an individuality to each of the characters, they carry the storyline well, very easy, likeable and relatable, but more importantly they are distinctive in their own right and it is clear that they all work well together.
If you were expecting a happily ever after, sorry to disappoint, because that cliffhanger right!
Highly recommend both the author and the book. I received an ARC. Therefore I am submitting a voluntary review.

DNF @ 30%
I think the story concept for this book is excellent. I love the idea of an “omega” working in the FBI and being kidnapped by a “pack” who is out to bring a dark secret to light. I like a strong FMC, and Agent Penny is definitely that.
But the writing style and turns of phrase were very confusing. I had to reread paragraphs over to make sense of what was happening or looking for context clues to help me understand the turns of phrase. Some of the language seemed unnecessarily complicated. For example, one of the MC’s lights Penny’s cigarette and instead of saying that, the author uses the phrase “Promethean gift of flame.” It just seems overly poetic and doesn’t really fit the scene of the story.
I also had a hard time with the different designations. While I have no problem with an author creating their own world and their own designations, the characteristics of the characters were not distinct and did not clearly reflect their designations. It made it difficult to remember which character is which designation and didn’t reinforce the world the author was trying to build.
I really wish I could overlook the writing style because the story line is very interesting and something I would like. But I can’t so DNF it is.

Penny for Your Saints is the first book in a new series by Violet Braxe. This was a little darker than her other books so make sure to read the warning before you start. Louise is working her way up the chain at her government job. She is groomed to become the next head of her department, but her life takes a bit of a turn. A group of four men kidnap her so she can help them get information about a theory. The theory includes Louise’s parents who were killed and the research they participated in. The men all have complicated pasts that make them an interesting group. Louise learns some truths about the past that are hard to hear and still affect her and others around her. There is another turn in the story at the end that drops us off the cliffhanger waiting for resolution in the next book.

"I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.” A penny for your saints. This series opener offers a fresh and engaging take on the omegaverse. After being kidnapped by the mercenary group known as the Saints, Louise’s world is completely transformed. The inclusion of Sigma and Theta dynamics adds originality to the genre, and the story delivers a gripping mix of action, emotion, and romance.
Each of the Saints Frank, Quentin, Cazimer, and Sebastien brings depth and individuality to the narrative, with well developed backstories and chemistry that make their relationships with Louise both compelling and heartfelt.
With strong character development, emotional tension, and perfectly balanced spice, this book is a standout start to a promising series and a refreshing addition to omegaverse fiction.💛

I’d Give Much More Than A Penny For These Saints 😈
OMG! That was freaking amazing! Now I’m over here going crazy because I need to read book 2… Like ASAP!! I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I started reading this, but it was absolute perfection. The intensity, the dramatic storyline, the mystery, the diverse range of characters, the danger, the chemistry, the passion, and yes, the romance. It was the perfect amount of dark, with just the right amount of sweet touches. The emotions that Violet built between her characters was only matched by the roller coaster of a ride that she took MY emotions on lol. That very reason is why she has become a one click author for me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go count down the days until part 2 comes out lol 😝❤️

This is the first book that I've read by Violet Braxe and I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more books by her.
This book is a slow start and a lot of background history but it holds your attention until the action starts and then it's hard to put down because you can't wait to find out what happens next. Can't wait to read book two. I'm pretty sure I wont be able to but that book down either.

.5
It's been a while since I have read a book with werewolves and this was quite different from what I have read before but I really liked it. It was very interesting. I would give it 5 in spice but I save the 5 for when it's very hot and heavy and also more BDSM. The story was at first hard to get into but when you understand what is going on and get to know all the characters it gets much easier and you can focus on the plot which is absolutely amazing. I had a hard time getting into the book but an even harder time leaving the book. I am so happy I could jump straight into the 2. book because the ending of this book should be illegal. I really wanted to scream because WTF. Please read this and experience the rollercoaster of emotions I just have.
It's been a while since I have read a book with werewolves and this was quite different from what I have read before but I really liked it. It was very interesting. I would give it 5 in spice but I save the 5 for when it's very hot and heavy and also more BDSM.

This book is crazy but in the best way possible. It took me a few chapters to get into it. Mostly backstory and world building things. But once we hit about 10% I was hooked and barely stopped 'til I hit the cliff.
Louise is almost too competent and well crafted. I liked that the rest of the pack had designations other than the usual alpha and omega (and beta). There are notes and definitions for clarity in in the beginning but it's not too hard to figure out with the personality traits and text. I liked the characters (side and mostly pack). The relationship building is really well done and the action and drama were just the cherries on top.

Penny For Your Saints is the first book in a new RH omegaverse. This book has a slow pace so readers should keep that in mind. I think it is helps to get to know the characters and the storyline better. It also helps that this book is told from a multi POV. But my favorite part is that this isn't the typical omega, beta, and alpha story. I like when an omegaverse is expanded and includes sigma, theta, gamma, and more. It interesting to see these other designations and how their place in a pack.
I also love a good mystery and you get that with this book. I can't wait to see what happens with Louise and the four men that have invaded her life.

An omegaverse MMMMF fated mates romance with an espionage twist. The plot follows Louise and her many men as they outrun the corrupt government and fight against a deadly virus. There are plenty of spicy scenes (starting with one on one interactions and escalating as the book progresses).
The concepts of fated mates is also a bit confusing the way that it is explained, and there are lots of “designations” other than the typical alphas and omegas which some have similar traits so it is hard to keep up.
The plot twist betrayal at the end was kind of predictable and a bit of a let down, but I am still interested in how the story will resolve in the next book.

I loved Louise's sass and attitude. She's kidnapped by the saints and trying to escape, but throw in mate bonds, heats, secrets of the past, and it's a bundle of chaos none of them expected. It's action packed, high stakes, spicy, and full of surprises. I love the individual personalities of the group, and seeing their interactions together.
It's also full of conflict as Louise battles her growing feelings and biological needs, against leading what happened to her parents, all the conspiracies, and exactly what her role in everything is.
That ending was a completely unexpected cliffhanger, and I'm diving straight into book 2.

I was completely surprised by this story. Louise definitely is a tough woman who is going to do everything she can to find out the truth about her parents and the virus. The Saints are a group of men who are trying to figure out the truth as well about the virus. After the kidnapping, Louise finally starts to see more and more of the truth. When you have an alpha, a sigma, and several others that are fated mates, it gets really interesting. What an amazing story and cliffhanger! I cannot wait for the second book!!!!

Louise! dayum girl! you're fire. This book brought it! I love how strong Louise is, she's a take no s**t kind of woman. This story didn't just pull me in, it strapped me to my chair and said, "nope, not till your finished."
This book was filled with so much bada**ery. I loved the description this one held. and the characters were off the chart. the twists, chaos, just everything was so damn good!
I'm glad I was given the opportunity to read this as an ARC. I'll definitely be reading more from Violet. as this was the first book of hers I've ever read.

Absolutely loved this book. The constant bickering between the fmc and the pack kept me turning the page to see what else happened. Usually you can’t find a book where the fmc can handle and take care of herself which made this book unique. Pennys strength and sad just made the book better. Also, the complete twists and turns, anger, and sadness kept the storyline going. It had you wondering, wait, whats gonna happen next? Cannot wait to read what violet comes up with next!

What an amazing read! This book is so different from other omegaverse stories I've encountered, especially with the inclusion of government agents and the many twists and turns that caught me off guard.
The characters are fantastic and well-developed, with their fast paced and confusing relationships and the fallout from their secrets keeping me hooked right from the start. There's plenty of spice, heartbreak, and lies. I can't wait for the next book!

This book was just wow. My jaw was on the floor almost the entire book. It was well-written. Violet has a way to pull you into her books and make you not want to put the book down.
I loved the characters and everything. I want to ready more from these characters.
Definitely a 10/10 read for sure

A dark omegaverse story full of mystery, suspense and spice that had intriguing characters and different designations. Louise was fierce as she was kidnapped by the Saints and her world turned upside down with new information about her parents and the virus. A very well written story with a great cliffhanger. Looking forward to the next book.

WHAT WAS THAT CLIFFHANGER?? *shrieks*
Ok, so maybe I’m being a bit dramatic. The next book is out so I’m about to tuck into that one to clear up this whole mess. I loved it though. I felt like I was in a gritty gumshoe tv show. Very unlike some of the other books I’ve read by this author. A bit darker than I’m used to.
I wish us all luck as we embark into book two…

Action packed omegaverse with a FBI agent FMC, fated mates, designation changes and a virus. A bit overwhelming amount of info at first as you work out the plot, but as it falls into place it pulls you into the story. Plenty of drama, and a huge cliffhanger at the end of this book, but book 2 has the HEA.

Louise Penny.
FBI agent, and Sigma wolf.
I really enjoyed this omegaverse novel, and the characters within.
The biology of the wolves, and their struggle against their nature. The nuances of a pack, and how heat affects that; I love the take on different “powers” that the castes of wolves can have.
The twist at the end though? That shit was rough!
