4.25 ⭐️
I rly enjoyed reading this book. I loved Zeke & Elsa’s relationship. Elsa was so understanding & accepting with Zeke, & Zeke was so supportive & caring towards Elsa. The spice was spicing 🥵 & I loved how Elsa & Dakota were just as into each other as they were with Zeke. Also the plot was so good! 😆 I loved the drama & betrayal, & found myself always needing to see where the story would go to next. I also loved the Leighton/Laz crumbs we got in this book, & liked the POV switches, it was cool to be in Josiah’s POV at one point. This book has some dark themes to it so definitely check trigger warnings before reading! But overall I had a great time reading this book & I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book, especially with that cliffhanger!! I would definitely recommend reading this book & could absolutely see myself reading it again!! 🥰💖
Thank you so much for the opportunity to read/review the ARC copy of this book!! I really appreciate the opportunity & had a great time reading!! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the rest of the series!! 😁🤭

ARC REVIEW
Rating? 4.5 stars and a gentle scream into the void.
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes?
- MFF
- Morally gray alpha
- Possessive men who need therapy
- Past Trauma
check the triggers,
First of all i want to thank author Genavie Castle for the ARC opportunity 🙌
So I just finished Brother’s Sins by Genavie Castle and let me tell you… my soul? Still recovering. My standards for men? Officially ruined (again). Ezekiel Ford is back and brooding as ever, but here’s my confession: I’m a Laz girl through and through. That man’s possessiveness?? Sir, this is a dark romance, not a masterclass in how to own my heart. But thank you.
Now Zeke… he’s complex, intense, and has enough secrets to start his own tabloid. But I couldn’t fully vibe with the fact that he’s got a thing for two women. Like no sir, pick a lane. I’m already emotionally invested and I don’t have the energy to handle your love triangle. But still i was happy with the ending ♥️.
Did I enjoy it as much as Nightmare Girl (Book one)? Not exactly. BUT, and it’s a big but, Genavie’s writing was still absolutely top tier. The emotional tension, the plot twists, the way she tortures us (with love)… iconic. I swear she builds men from the bones of Greek gods and trauma.
And now I’m just sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, WAITING for what I hope is Josiah’s book next. If it is, I’m clearing my schedule and preparing my heart in advance. Genavie, please don’t hold bac, I need chaos, craving, and a morally gray king.

Brother’s Sins by Genavie Castle is a raw, addictive exploration of love, betrayal, and the brutal consequences of deception. As the second instalment in The Sentinal Series, it raises the stakes, plunging readers deeper into a world where trust is fragile and desire is dangerous.
The story centres around Ezekiel “Zeke” Ford, a man who has mastered control, both in business and relationships. His arrangement with Elsa is simple—pleasure without promises. Yet when Elsa subtly shifts the terms, cracks begin to form in Zeke’s carefully built emotional walls. Enter Dakota, a woman caught in a desperate situation, blackmailed into seducing Zeke to save her family. What starts as manipulation quickly spirals into a tangled web of passion, betrayal, and emotional devastation. The chemistry between Zeke, Elsa, and Dakota is electric, and as the boundaries blur, the consequences become catastrophic.
Genavie Castle excels at crafting deeply flawed, painfully human characters. Zeke’s struggle to maintain control in the face of genuine emotion is compelling. Elsa’s vulnerability and Dakota’s fierce resilience create a powerful dynamic where no character is wholly good or irredeemably bad. Each decision they make carries emotional weight, and the fallout feels brutally real. Genavie Castle doesn't flinch away from the darker aspects of love and survival, making the emotional stakes feel as urgent as the physical danger.
The pacing is relentless, pulling you breathlessly from one revelation to the next. The writing is taut, evocative, and charged with sensual energy. Every scene crackles with tension, whether it’s the slow burn of temptation or the explosive eruption of long-held secrets. Genavie Castle balances steamy scenes with raw emotional depth, ensuring the story never feels shallow or gratuitous.
While Brother’s Sins is breathtakingly intense, it may not suit readers looking for a lighter or more straightforward romance. The themes of coercion, loyalty, and emotional manipulation are heavy and handled with brutal honesty. Yet for those drawn to dark romances that challenge the heart and mind, it offers an unforgettable experience.
In short, Brother’s Sins is a fiercely emotional, beautifully destructive love story. Genavie Castle has delivered a dark romance that is as heartbreaking as it is irresistible. Highly recommended for readers who aren't afraid to venture into the messy, devastating side of love.

Thrilling, intriguing, straight up sexy as hell, and man does it do something to your heart! It’s elite way too sexy assassins, lies upon lies to do a job you were forced into, falling in love for the first time and finally seeing you’ve always had what you needed and loved in the palm of your hand, the lengths you’ll go to for family, a Dom and a sub exploring a new facet to a relationship that’s evolving, sins that can be forgiven but not forgotten, and a bittersweet end that will both shatter your heart and settle your soul, and it is freakishly good.
I love the three main characters in this book so freaking much! They touch you with their past scars and relationship hangups, they bring new meaning to the words hot and chemistry, and though the ending is a surprise and not exactly what you expected, they end up where they should be. And the overall plot just wow, it hooks you, it has action, and it keeps you guessing just enough that it is dynamite from start to finish.

Zeke and Elsa are the main couple. They have a special type of relationship. Zeke is her dom. Once she earned enough of his money to stabilize herself and her child, she wanted to dissolve the payment aspect of the relationship and get a proper job. Zeke was not happy. Zeke and his family are a crime family so he has lots of resources. Enter Dakota. She was kidnapped by more crime people because they need to find her brother. She has been told to seduce Zeke or her family will pay. I love the interaction between Elsa and Zeke. It gets spicy. I also love Dakota. She’s tough and sure of herself. She’s loyal, as shown by her reactions when she was kidnapped. So now we have three – Zeke, Elsa and Dakota. It's an interesting and exciting mix and clash of personalities.

This is the second book in the Sentinels series. This book has it all Forbidden Love ✅, Love Triangle ✅, Betrayal ✅, Revenge ✅, Power Struggle ✅, Lies & Deception ✅, Slow burn to Inferno ✅ ✅ …I mean what more could you want??
This book centers around Zeke and Elsa and then Dakota as well. Zeke is very intense and brooding. Between the three of them I was definitely hooked. There was very fierce spice but still enough storyline that kept me engaged. The constant action and suspense had me at the edge of my seat. Betrayal and heartbreak just about did me in. This one so hard to put down. And the ending … still has me reeling! Bring on book 3!

Genavie has left me reeling AGAIN!!!
I told her how much I loved Nightmare Girl and I was sent Brother's Sins and omg. I think she wants to destroy me and my expectations for an IRL man lol!!!
Zee, oh Zeke.... although my heart belongs to Laz, Zeke gave fierce competition!
Elsa and Dakota... I love you girls! The two characters were amazing in their own respective way.
This book had me in a chokehold just like Nightmare Girl and there are NO regrets!!
You'll smile, giggle, roll your eyes, swoon, your heart will beat so fast... and the end?!?! Don't even get me started 😭

Genavie Castle is one of my auto-read authors now because she has never let me down! I loved this book.
I love Castle’s ability to created a dark romance story that doesn’t feel too actiony for me. It has the perfect amount of real life relationship type drama and morally grey thriller drama. This book also had such great fleshed-out characters with unique backgrounds that fit their each individual personality so well.
The twisty ending had my anxiety high wondering what was going to happen next! If you’re looking for a dark romance that will keep you on your toes the whole story, definitely grab this book!

Holy s***!!! Zeke is so intense!!! Absolutely love him!! Elsa is such a beautiful, soft woman, but her sexy change in the end was absolutely needed. Loved that every character from the first book is involved in this one. I have mixed feelings for Dakota but love her character and understand her as well. You have to read Nightmare Girl to follow Brother's Sins. It's a must and you won't be disappointed!! You left me hanging Ms. Castle, I want Book 3 now!!! This book was INTENSE, SEXY, HEARTBREAKING, FULL of SUSPENSE!!

This is the second book within The Sentenials series. It’s an interconnected series, but you don’t necessarily have to read the first book or them in order. It’ll help with context. Anyways, this book follows Ezekiel and Elsa. However, they both had ups and downs within their relationship, like adding a third person. But what’s super clear in this book is the betrayal and the emotions that not only Elsa felt, but Ezekiel and Leighton felt. Sadly, this book does kind of end on a cliffhanger, but it’s okay because there will be a third book in this series.

In some ways, I liked this one more than the first book. Laz is still my favorite, but I absolutely love Zeke and Elsa. I love their dynamic!
Zeke is a rare type of man, and Elsa is definitely lucky!
The plot was very good! I didn't expect it to end the way that it did. im not mad about it, either. Honestly, Dakota is lucky she picked Zeke out of the Brothers to betray because Laz would have killed her no questions asked.
I need book three!

5 ⭐ 5 🌶️
Tropes:
Morally Grey MMC
Past Trauma
Billionaire Romance
BDSM Kink
MFF
Happily Ever After Lots of un-aliving
Main Characters:
Ezekiel, Elsa and Dakota
Stand out lines/quotes:
I liked having her around. And so did Elsa. Somehow, the three of us fit together.
My Thoughts:
The ending isn’t what I was hoping for… but it was still a damn good ending. I’m not mad at it. Did I message Genavie to tell her that she broke my heart just a smidge… yes, yes I did. But then I told her how much I loved it. This was so so so good. Definitely a great follow up to Nightmare Girl.
