The final moment - the wrap up we needed.
Things I loved about this ending:
They got the resolution that they needed.
Lilah lived up to her badassery
She got her moments with her guys 🩶
We got to meet the new guys - eeekkkk bring on the butchers
I loved the way her relationship with her mom turned out - not great by any means but it shows that just because your blood doesn’t mean anything. And she got the closure she needed
Things I wish I saw more of:
More of the creepy mansion place
More of why Sandoval was doing what he was doing
And more resolution as to why the guys took the pictures- maybe I missed it but I felt like I didn’t get that closure.
Overall the trilogy is a 4.5 for me 2.5-3 🌶️’s and I just loved them all. Can’t wait for the next!

Lilah and her boys get an adrenaline filled finale!
Thank you so much Sadie for the arc!
I can't believe that their story is wrapped up, it felt like Lilah just stumbled into their house a few months ago. 🥺
I have really enjoyed this series of books and the twists & turns that happen in the story!
The previous two cliffhangers had me devouring the following books bc I couldn't wait to see what would happen.
I'll try to be spoiler free, but obviously there's a group of bad guys that are going after all of them, especially the one that is in charge of said secret organization that is trafficking girls.
I love Lilah as an FMC. She's strong, smart, fierce and capable. It's very much her calling the shots and the guys making it happen.
I think, by now they realized that they can't control her or stop her from doing something that she's determined to do lol
She's very much over anyone who tries to boss her around or make her feel bad for the choices she's made. She's left her religious life behind and is determined to help her younger brother escape too.
I loved the darker setting of this one. Each group of characters feel like we're getting deeper. More to the root of the trafficking and organizations behind the missing girls.
There's a whole purity, religious theme going on with them and it's super creepy, plus totally my vibe. 😂
They are also vulnerable with each other, with their different struggles and trauma that they have dealt with in the past.
Sure, none of them are perfect, but they help make each other stronger and better versions of themselves.
I have a feeling that they will be featured in the next series, since their business is very much not done and they are still looking for answers. Lilah does not seem to be the type to let things go.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next series bc it's been hinted and it sounds soo good!

YESSS!!!! This was everything!!
I was so excited and yet so sad for this ending all at the same time. I am so glad they got their HEA they deserved.
This one was not what I was expecting and I loved the way this story went.
This was growth and love and affection.
The spice was pure perfection and so hotttt!!
The character growth and the strength as a group was amazing and everything you need. Rafe, Jude and Nolan are so good to Lilah and she gives them strength in the things they need as individuals as well.
Now on to the next series and I can’t wait for them either!!!

Wow
What a saga. Sadie, girl, you rock.
Traded for her brother, Lilah willingly goes into the devil's den. Strong, determined, and a force to be reckoned with, Lilah is a true heroine.
Fearful about what she's going through, the men prepare to get her back. Allowed only her heart meds, two cameras are secretly smuggled in through the cap. The first one she places in her room, the second she manages to get into the head "mistresses" office. Both devices record both audio and visual, giving the men vital information about the operation.
Both male and female captives are present at this place. Never one to rely on chance, Lilah takes advantage of two things: A piece of chicken wire found on the ground and a loose floor tile in the bathroom. This clever girl fashions them together to make an impromptu weapon, which she later hides within her garter belt.
On the third night, when she knows her men are coming for her, a ceremony occurs that introduces her as the sanctuary bride. Each captive is on display wearing intimate apparel, pledging they will be subservient to their new master (aka the highest bidder).
During the ceremony, explosions erupt on the compound just as Race and Bola enter the chapel to rescue her. The master grabs Lilah, but she's grabbed her weapon and slashes his face, causing him to let go. She runs to Nolan, tells them they all need to be rescued.
Needless to say, it doesn't end there, but I'm not going to spoil it for you.
I have loved this three book series, as well as the beasts story before it, and recommend it for more than the hot men.

What a conclusion to the Blackwell Bastards trilogy! Everything has come full circle and Lilah has found and cemented her place with her three hulking ex-military men, because; why choose? This final installment, like the previous books was riveting, heart pumping, adrenaline excitement from start to finish. This foursome burned up the pages with their hot, sizzling chemistry. The hotter the men burned for Lilah, the stronger the bond and the more the love grew! Yes, they’ve found love, redemption, happiness, healing family and for Lilah, safety, peace, security and acceptance! But taking down Imperium Fratrum remained their main focus. What now seems to be the norm, trouble finds Lilah once again but she has learned to stare the devil in the face and find a way to make it to the other side without being tainted, with her men always there to protect her. Her life has become a series of never ending dangerous situations and her men have come to accept it as their new normal because it comes with the Lilah package, a package they intend to keep safe because being without her is simply not an option, especially with the devil nipping at their heels. This was another artful masterpiece, great characters that felt real and relatable! It’s another hit series by Sadie Hunt and I can’t wait for what’s next, because it’s still not over but Lilah and her men have done their part!
If you’ve never read one of Sadie’s books, pick up the Aventine University series with the Kings and be prepared to be taken down alleys, rabbit holes and dark corners while experiencing heightened passion, electric chemistry mixed in with betrayal!

Seriously Addictive!!!!!
This book owned me from page one. The moment I stepped into the shadows of this world, I knew I wasn’t leaving unscathed. Twisted fates, broken boys, and a heroine who refuses to break—this is dark reverse harem at its finest.
This is the last book of the trilogy. The story is raw, intense, and full of suspense. The tension? Palpable. The spice? Explosive!!! What truly sets this book apart is how it balances brutality with vulnerability. The darker themes aren’t just there for shock—they serve the story, deepen the characters, and pull you deeper into the chaos of their love and trauma. It’s messy, it’s passionate, it’s painful—and it’s absolutely unforgettable.
Jude, Nolan and Rafe were uniquely complex, dangerous, and damaged guys (particularly Rafe) but watching the dynamic shift between them and the main character was pure obsession fuel. I devoured this book in one sitting and now I’m just waiting for the next series to be ready. Although some questions have been answered in this series, some are very likely going to be transferred to the next series (Blackwell Butchers). Lilah is safe for now and got her happy end with Jude, Nolan and Rafe, but the robust organisation that is behind the kidnapping of the girls is still out there!
If you’re into possessive anti-heroes, morally grey everything, and a fearless main character who refuses to choose, this book is your next addiction.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shame The Devil by Sadie Hunt
Sadie Hunt delivered 🔥 with the third and final book in the Blackwell Bastards trilogy. From chapter one, I was hooked — this story grabbed me by the throat and didn’t let go until the very last word.
This is why choose at its best: raw, suspenseful, sinful, and dripping with emotion. These men don’t just claim her — they worship her, protect her, and set the whole damn world on fire for her. 🔥❤️🔥
“You don’t have to say anything. I said it because it was true, because I wanted you to know in that fucked-up place that you were…” His voice cracked. “That you were loved. That you are loved. By me.” 🫠
They see her for the fierce warrior she is — and they remind her she’ll never stand alone:
“I wanted to draw her as she really was: a warrior. And I wanted to remind myself that even though she was a warrior, she wasn’t alone. Because we would do anything to keep her safe. Walk through hell for her. Burn for her. Set the whole fucking world on fire for her.” 🔥🖤
And my heart? Yeah, I’m not sure it knows how to beat without them either:
“I wasn’t sure my heart would remember how to beat without him.” 🫶
If you love suspense, heat, and a love that bleeds off the page — pick this up now. Shame The Devil is the perfect, brutal, beautiful end to Lilah and her bastards’ story. I’d walk through hell for them too. 😈✨

She’s done it again 🔥🔥🔥
Guys if you are sleeping on Sadie Hunt and her dark bully why choose romances you are seriously missing out!
Once upon a time three men almost broke me
Now they’re willing to die for me.
This is the 3rd book in the Blackwell B@stards trilogy and I do recommend reading them in order. Start with Into the Fire, Hell to Pay then Shame the Devil.
Liliah our bad @ss FMC was bullied by them in high school ruining her life especially with a religious zealot for a mother. She found her strength though and then was taken for it when she escaped she found the last three men she never wanted to see again. Nolan. Jude and Rafe. All ex-military adrenaline junkies, point break style. Nolan former medic who is obsessed with Lilah’s heart, specifically because she has a heart condition. Jude the artist of the group who always wanted Lilah. Rafe the worst of them all seemingly unfeeling and uncaring and was the orchestrator of the bullying they did in high school thinking Lilian was weak.
What has Liliah gotten herself into and will the guys help or abandon her?
This is a dark bully why choose romance that is 5⭐️ with spice that will leave you sweating 5🌶️ it has a great suspenseful sub plot that will keep you guessing on what will happen and who’s behind it.
Highly recommend anything by Sadie Hunt but this trilogy specifically is just 🔥🔥🔥 and sets the world up perfectly for Blackwell Butchers coming October 2025!

Such a satisfying end!
This whole series was great and I’ve loved being on the ARC team for it. I was worried because Sadie really likes to get us with the cliffhangers but I’ve just loved it! The final conclusion to the Bastards story was just so satisfying. There’s still some little sneak peaks for the next trilogy that will be coming this year so everything isn’t a perfectly neat little bow and I love that. It keeps my brain guessing as to what comes next. (May be spoilers from here on)
I love that the Bastards helped Lilah stand on her own vs trying to coddle and protect her. Even though it was against what they were feeling, they only wanted her to truly feel safe and happy with them and she needed to feel strong on her own for that to happen. Definitely not excusing what they did to her in high school but they were sorry and are doing their best to make it up to her. I absolutely love that she had a hand in Sandoval’s demise but that Rafe had the final blow. Lilah grew so much in this series from the girl that she was and I can’t wait to see more of her!

“My mom would say what we'd done together would shame the devil, but nothing in my life had ever felt so right. And if loving the Bastards - if accepting the pleasure they gave me and giving it to them in return - shamed the devil, then maybe the devil needed to stop being a fucking prude.”
This 3 book series kept me engaged and I wanted to literally do nothing but read it.
This foursome burned up the pages with their chemistry. A virgin to living in a reverse haram🥵They loved her…” Because we would do anything to keep her safe. Walk through hell for her.Burn for her. Set the whole fucking world on fire for her.”
They all were damaged but they found love, redemption, happiness, healing and now they are a family.
While keeping Lilah safe, bringing down Imperium Fratrum remained their primary focus. They wanted to save as many girls as they could. Their mission has been hard, and maybe not 💯 accomplished but they made a fracture in its foundation.
I would love a book that brings Lilah and Daisy together more!

My heart rate can settle down now I’ve finished this book! What a roller coaster of mystery & intrigue & of course, off the chart spice!
Sadie has created another brilliant ending (as all her books) to this web of high drama. Our Fab Four, Lilah, Rafe, Nolan & Jude are sent off in a direction I never saw coming! The ending is a brilliant show of courage & strength from our Lilah. I do love how Sadie writes her FMC’s - gutsy, self aware and full of growth & strength.
Oh to have 3 gorgeous men to cater to my every need like Lilah does! The spice! 5 ⭐️🌶️! Of course I love that this is an alt POV, it’s well written and the time line flows easily & is explained well.
I highly recommend this series as you can read it as a standalone however, I suggest that you start with Willa & the Kings of Aventine & Daisy & her Blackwell Beasts first! It will give you a little more background but totally not necessary.
Can’t wait for the Blackwell Butchers!
Enjoy!

Wow, wow, wow
What can I say about this book? Part 3 of the Blackwell Bastards Trilogy, and it did not disappoint. A RH dark romance series. Book 2 had left us with a cliffhanger, Nolan had a health concern and it was touch and go. As soon as you get over the health issue, you get the drama of the Sanctum and the missing girls and the danger from the Devil and his men. The characters are well written, there is a lot of character development along the way, and I felt their pain. I am not ashamed to say I cried especially at the ending. The men in this series Rafe, Jude and Nolan broke our FMC Lilah as a high-schooler and ended up being her saviours. Definitely recommend, drama, spice and a roller coaster of emotions and if you have never read a Sadie Hunt book, you are missing out. 5 stars is not enough. LOVE this author.

WOW! 🤩
So we went Into the Fire, where there was Hell to Pay and now Shame the Devil has arrived.
It’s no wonder the summary is almost nonexistent cause I know I wouldn’t want this book spoiled. I’m so grateful to have received an ARC. This whole series was so good and a roller coaster of a ride.
I’m a sucker for an HEA that doesn’t just get handed to the characters. They have to work for that happy ending and boy did they ever.
If you haven’t read this series, then you need to. Come Into the Fire, where there’ll be Hell to Pay and Shame the Devil for the perfection of this finale.
Join Nolan, Jude, Rafe, and Lilah in their final book where the angst is angst-ing, the spice is spicing and the HEA is hard fought, sorely won and worth every second of reading every book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the third and final book in the Blackwell Bastards trilogy and Sadie did not let us down with the ending! This book picked up right where the second left off, and had me attached to it until the very end. I have been hooked on these 3 men (Jude, Nolan and Rafe) and our girl Lilah for months now, and finally seeing them get the HEA they deserved was beautiful. I thought the second book had a lot of character growth, but this one we really got to see the strength this team has when together. The spice had me in a chokehold 🔥🔥🔥🔥 the love the guys have for Lilah and her for them is to die for, and the action is POPPING!! Give this book a chance if you love OTP guys, a feisty heroine and spice that'll keep you up at night ;)
Bring on the Blackwell Butchers!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sadie does not disappoint with this final book in the Blackwell Bastards series. The book starts where book 2 cliff hanger left off with one of the character's in a life and death situation. During dealing with the situation we hear from our FMC how she saw herself in the beginning and where she is and wants to be with her men. The story is a push and pull of the group learning to allow Liliah the freedom to become the woman she they had seen underneath and reigning in their desire to shield and protect her. Utilizing all of the special skills our MMC's have shown through the previous books and adding a female with a passionate cause for them to fight the evil and rot there. It was quite a ride and the ending was perfect. It left me super excited for the next book after meeting it's MMC.

4.5 ⭐️s! I appreciate the ARC read. This was a great end to a series and I’m excited for the next set of Blackwell characters to come.
Rafe is my guy and I’m glad he got it together for himself and Lilah. Lilah was not my favorite Blackwell FMC but I enjoyed reading her growth and love for the Bastards. Her love for her brother never wavered and she finally learned her mom will never change. Nolan and Jude made the group complete and I will say Jude ended up being my favorite guy.
Human trafficking is very real and it’s just as heart wrenching reading it in fiction. Not every girl or boy can be saved, but it’s nice to see that some were. I’m sad that we didn’t find closure for Rain. I need an epilogue or hopefully we’ll see her in the next set of Blackwell books.

One of the things I love about Sadie's books is that each trilogy ends with the HEA for the FMC and her guys, but there is still an overarching mystery that spans across all 3 (so far) trilogies. We get a couple of new pieces in each trilogy, but it keeps you coming back again and again! And I love that we got to see Daisy and the Beasts pop up in this trilogy.
So happy Lilah and her guys got their Happily Ever After, even if it took some (a lot) of work to get there! The 4 of them have come so far since that night they reconnected in Into the Fire!
This book was such a quick read. There was action from start to finish, with plenty of spice thrown in! 🥵 The characters were great, the story kept moving and kept me engaged.
Highly recommend, but check your TWs first!

Sadie never disappoints when it comes to her trilogies and the Beasts are no exception.
Glad to see that Sandoval got what was more than coming to him. But since we know that all of Sadie’s stories are much deeper than the big bad in each trilogy—we know that he was merely a single head on a giant beast of awful.
I’m sad that the question of where Rain ended up was never answered, but I’m hoping that if we don’t hear about her in the Butchers’ book we will in the future.
The ending tied up everything for Lilah and her Beasts and that they got the HEA they deserved. I’m also happy that Lilah got that connection to her brother that she fought for and that she got to tell her mom off for the way she treated her.

Warning - this will spoil books 1 &2, so read those first!
After barely getting out of the Masquerade Rafe, Jude, Lilah, and an unconscious Nolan are running for their lives. After arriving at the safe house, they begin to make their plans to get home. Once home, the real trouble starts....
Despite their need to protect Lilah, the Bastards stand by as she enters the Devil's den.
Sadie did a fantastic job wrapping this part of the story up. I was on the edge of my seat in some parts and barely breathing at others. I am anxiously awaiting Bram's story and how it's all connected!
Thank you to Sadie and her fantastic team for the opportunity to be an ARC reader. Your ability to create dynamic characters that touch those that read them is fantastic.

I had the absolute pleasure of receiving this book as an ARC, and it was so good that I couldn't put it down. I stayed up after midnight and finished it. I don't even care that I had to get up the next morning. I just had to finish it to find out what happens to Lilah. I fell in love with the Bastards just like the Beasts. They will burn the world down to protect Lilah. This is an absolute must-read series, especially now that this book completes it. I am eager to read the next series, The Blackwell Butchers. Sadie Hunt You did it again!!!

Wow!
I don’t know how to explain how much I love this book and this series. I think the B**tards might be my favourite of all the Blackwell books, but then I say this about each new one.
Lilah was so strong, fighting for herself, the other captives, for her men. Her throwaway line as she leaves was so on point for her, no time to deal with messy feelings etc and fear whether the guys would reply.
I could go on and on about how much I love these books, these characters and Sadie Hunt for the twisted spicy action that comes from her brain, but all I can say is that this is a five-star read, and you need it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This book is the 3rd and final book for the BB! It picks up right where book 2 left off, and it doesn’t slow down until the very end. Lots of action, some WTF moments, some HOT moments, and some heartbreaking moments. I loved every page of this book and I’m so sad that this is the end. I have grown to love these characters, Lilah has grown so much and I just love how she has become so confident by the end of this. Also, Rafe turned out to be a total softy (for Lilah) I just knew he had a squishy side. What a ride this has been! I’m looking forward to what’s going on next! Blackwell Butchers is coming soon!

Another 10/10 from Sadie! My only complaint? Having to wait between books when you leave me with killer cliffhangers! Nolan, Rafe and Jude hvae my heart. They are all dark and mysterious in their own ways but their devotion to Lilah is never in question. This last book gave me everything I needed with spice, drama, humor.... a definite page-turner! You will definitely want to start at the beginning, the way Sadie brigns all of the series' together is immaculate. What's that Sadie? Butchers you say? I'm anxiously waiting on the edge of my seat for the next round of heart-pounding words to be released!

Sadie is a master at setting the scene. You feel like you're right there on the page watching as everything unfolds.
Lilah's rage was palpable right from the beginning, and I just resonated so much with her when she spoke about feeling weak. "I had to fight to be strong, to take care of myself, to stand up for who I was, who I am." Her bravery shows no bounds, and when she loves somebody, and they're in harms way, she becomes this fierce, bada$$ force to be reckoned with. Man, did she really shame the devil.
The relationship development between the Bastards and Lilah was everything I wanted and more, and the spice? Off the charts!

I got this as an ARC copy and Sadie Hunt did not disappoint with the third installment of the Bastards. She picked up right where the last book left off and Kept You on the Edge of Your Seat until the very end of the book. The growth of Lilah, Rafe, Jude and Nolan in this book wraps up their stories wonderfully and you see when they truly start to realize all they need is each other. Lilah's strength and growth realizing she can be who she was meant to be and have support from her guys is truly inspiring. The sneak peak for her next series has me excited and waiting as I've wanted more of Bram since meeting Cassie in Daisy's book.

Another winner
What a great ending to this trilogy!
I'm captivated by this world that Sadie has created and continues to develop. Does this book have all the answers, no it doesn't and that's expected. Each trilogy of this series peels the onion back further uncovering layers upon layers of corruption while giving us tons of the spicy romance we crave.
I love how strong Lilah becomes and how she advocates her need to do everything she can for all the victims. The bastards had to learn how to work with her not around her. They truly become a team that can trust each other in all ways.
I can't wait for the Butchers and where the story goes from here.

This is the third book in the Blackwell Bastards trilogy and it was a very satisfying end. The author always manages to explain things thoroughly without making it boring or dragging it on unnecessarily. Spoilers ahead. We continue to follow Lilah on her path to stop a trafficking ring with the bastards. I won’t go into too much detail because I don’t want to ruin it, but there is plenty of action, steam, and a very satisfying conclusion. I can’t even wait for Bram….as soon as she mentioned him in the book I wondered if it would be too early to start a public chant on her Facebook group. Imagine how pleased I was to see he’s the next one up. This author never ceases to delight.

From the start to finish this book had my attention. The way the bast#rds band together and take action is both sweet and terrifying. Highly trained soldiers completely bound to Delilah they will stop at nothing to keep her safe. Along the way lots of steam between these characters. The spice is definitely spicing and scenes are so descriptive. Aside from that Delilah shows what kind of force she is and realizes she’s strong all on her own but she has her men with her along the way supporting her and I think they all discover the level of emotions they feel for each other are even bigger then expected.

The mystery continues, and picks right up at the end of "Hell to Pay". More action, more smexy stuff, and the bad guys are very bad. Ms Hunt has done it again. Made us love these beautiful morally grey men, and especially the girl/woman they love. Lilah is no damsel in distress, she's pretty bad a$$$ and takes care of her men as well as they take care of her. I received an ARC copy for my review, bought also bought this book, because how could I not own all of her books. And, she has another series on the horizon.

🔥Perfect Ending🔥
I love Lilah, Rafe, Nolan and Jude. This final installment did not disappoint at all. Spicy, edge of my seat action, revenge, healing…and so much more. Oh…and RAFE! That man is 🥵. His growth in the book was on point and solidified him being my favorite of the men. Lilah will do anything for her men and her brother. Sadie writes these characters so you can immerse yourself into their world and feel them. I laughed and cried. I smiled and scowled. I had several WTF moments. I’m truly sad this series is over.
