Rule the Night
I consent to be hunted.
I consent to be stripped.
I consent to be marked.
I consent to be owned.
These are the things I agree to when I sign up for the Hunt in the tunnels under Blackwell Falls.
But none of that prepares me to be stalked by the three men known as the Blackwell Butchers.
They’re huge. Inked. Deadly.
And they’ve decided I’m their prey.
But desperate times call for desperate measures, and I’m in dire need of desperate measures — namely someone to take out the man responsible for my sister’s murder.
Now all I have to do is avoid being caught by the Butchers.
Outlast them for twenty-four hours, and they’ll become my avenging angels.
Let them catch me and I become their slave for three long months.
What could go wrong?
It's not a game... it's a Hunt.

I seem to be in the minority but this book just really bored me. I loved the concept of the hunt and those scenes were really fun and intense and I was looking forward to that energy through the rest of the book but it fell flat. We followed the FMC mostly going to work and cooking for the men. The guys were also dull and spent the book doing vague criminal things

The plot was definitely plotting in this one. It started strong, slowed down a bit in the middle, but picked back up around the 75% mark. The ending was solid, and honestly, I’ll probably pick up the next one.

Plot: 4/5 • Smut: 2.5/5 ————> She’s out for revenge for her sisters murder when it leads her to “The Hunt”. Bram’s an asshole. Poe is a romantic in disguise and Remy, well it’s still to be decided on Remy.
In the end she walks away. Again, fuck you, Bram. However, this ends on a cliffy with the start of another hunt, and Maeve in attendance once again.

A first read of this authors for me and honestly I’m sad I haven’t found her before - will definitely be heading for that backlist 😃
This book follows Maeve who’s heard rumours that an underground hunt offers the winner a ☠️ of their choosing; failing that you become the captors slave for three months 🙈 Maeve needs the instigator of her sisters murder given and its taken her down this route- this plot line is the undercurrent to the trilogy and there’s some snippets of intrigue dropped throughout that there may be more to that than there seems 🫣
Maeve is a strong character who knows her worth but she finds herself at the mercy of the Butchers and there’s lots of unwilling attraction and tension from the guys in this book in their belief in not needing attachments or being undeserving of them and this creates the majority of the angst in this initial book 😅 Bram is the huge leader - he’s stoic and slightly emotionally stunted; Remy is the overgrown clumsy puppy dog; and Poe is easy go lucky but has some drama going on 🤨 each show their attraction in various ways, some make you swoon 🔥🔥and some shake your head 🙂↔️
I personally wouldn’t class this as a dark romance; the men are morally grey and she has a murderous plan but nothing dark actually happens between her and her morally grey men. There’s an attempted SA (outside the harem) that gets stopped before it goes anywhere but that’s the darkest bit for me.
This was an engaging read that I found easy to blitz through and looking forward to the next 😀

I really enjoyed reading this arc. I couldn’t put it down. Literally read it in 4 hours. This book consumed me. I didn’t want to put it down. I loved the three guys, this book was spot on, the storyline was awesome. Poe is so sweet and charming, and loved the fact that Remy is so clumsy. Bram is an ass. I can’t wait for the next book. Excellent book if you love a spicy 🌶️ romance story.

And she’s done it again folks… I swear not a day goes by that I don’t cheer to all who will listen about Sadie and her books!
Seriously, I just know that out of all the Blackwell books that Butchers is gonna be my favorite.
I have been salivating for these books since I heard the potential for masked men books with a HUNT! I’ll tell you right now this is only book 1, I’m hooked once again and I’m so ready for book 2!
So this book, is book 1 in the Blackwell butchers trilogy. It involves the Butchers - Bram, Poe and Remy, our MMC’s and Maeve our FMC.
The butchers hold an event every so often in the tunnels under the fight club knows as the Orpheum. Maeve, whose sister is no longer alive. Wants revenge which is the prize for winning the hunt. However, should you lose, you’re stuck living and doing whatever the victors want for three months.
Maeve is a fierce FMC but not able to do it all on her own, Remy is the lovable clumsy golden retriever, Poe is the artistic one and Bram well Bram has a sweet tooth the Size of Texas but won’t eat her sweats and is a giant jerk.
The cliffs that Sadie dangles me over are full of shark infested waters…Ma’am you know what you did.
Legitimately one of my fav reads of the year a solid 5 ⭐️ and the heat is just beginning solid 2🌶️!
Suggested reading order for the Sadie/Blackwell Universe :
Kings & Corruption
kings & Chaos
kings & Carnage
Gather the Storm
Pay the Price
To the Grave
Into the Fire
He!l to pay
Shame the Devil
Rule the Night

Hide and seek gets dangerous
For anyone who is unfamiliar with Sadie Hunt's work, I highly recommend you run straight to the store to purchase this book.
A dark RH romance book with morally grey men and a kick-ass woman.
Maeve is seeking revenge for the death of her sister and has been told about "The Hunt". Set in the tunnels under the Orpheum and Blackwell Falls, a group of females are hunted by packs of 3 masked men. Nobody wants to be hunted by the men in the bone masks, "The Butchers", but Maeve has caught their attention and the men have all been warned, that she is theirs.
The men are large, tattooed and scary to look at, but Maeve gets to see the real men behind the masks.
Poe and Bram have suffered trauma in their past, and readers of earlier books will know Brams sister Cassie.
Poe is sweet, caring and adores Maeve. Remy is accidentally hilarious and also is falling for Maeve, Bram refuses to submit to his feelings.....yet
There is lots of character development, you get back stories, visits from previous characters and just enough spice, that doesnt take over the story.
There are triggers, and dark themes but if these dont worry you I highly recommend you read this book.
Sadie can write a character and the cliffhanger as we wait for book 2 is amazing....5 stars doesnt seem enough. Love this book

I thought this was a stand alone, so imagine my surprise when I got to the open ending lol!!!!

There’s just so, so much to unpack here. There were such serious things going on that I was invested, but if I’m judging it in the category it tries to fall into, I’d say it doesn’t quite hit the mark, because this isn’t a psychological thriller, it’s smut. And the MMCs are quite meh.
2 stars.
Well I went a little overboard here. Just keep in mind this story touches on very heavy themes, so definitely check content warnings before diving in.
And as a side note, I honestly think the author could maybe, by chance, write a good thriller someday.

3 (possibly 2.5)/5 ⭐️
tldr: I would say if you are looking for something darkISH, on the simpler side character & spice wise, or are new to dipping your toes into this genre, then it’s a decent read.
I have been so torn on what I want to rate this. I really liked the idea of the hunt, but after that part of the book I feel like we lost the whole dark romance vibe. with that being said, as someone who has lost someone to DV that plot line resonated with me in a lot of ways and the way the author talked about grief and guilt surrounding that was spot on and added some much needed depth to this story. I have to say my biggest complaint about this book is that the only character I really liked was the fmc, I somewhat tolerated Poe, but the other 2 mmcs didn’t hold my interest AT ALL especially Bram. I swear his only two personality traits were that he was “broody” and ate snickers bars. he just seemed extremely one dimensional and the narrator didn’t really fit his vibe.

Well well well, what a cheeky wee welcome surprise this palette cleanser was!!! After weeks of reading PG fantasy I needed an easy step back into the dark side of my TBR.
Although not especially dark and spice on the tame side I really loved this read. The story is brilliant - the idea of the hunt and its prevalence being a juxtaposition to Maeve’s story you think it’s never going to work. A contradiction in terms, yet it is so cleverly written and the strength of the FMC makes it cunningly possible.
Yes there is romance with spice that could have been off the charts BUT written as it is gives the actual story its chance to shine. The main story and the reason behind June’s murder is hugely relatable in our currently crazy world and I love how the Butchers normalise how wrong this behaviour is.
The cliffhanger was expected but still brilliant and I cannot wait to read to book 2.

I got Rule the Night free from Amazon and it sounded cool so I gave it a shot. I was surprised to read a
wholesome story that caught my heart. 🥰
FMC Maeve takes part in the hunt, where she’ll be running from 3 guys in Underground tunnels. If she wins she can get a free contract kill, but if she fails she has to live with the men for three months. Her goal is to take revenge for her sisters death and kill Andrew tat… ups. I mean Even Todd.
Of course she fails and has to live with Poe, Bram and Remy who are quite cute? They can’t cook and ask her to prepare meals for them, while they offer her a guest room. They go grocery shopping, and picking apples and just live as roomies who sometimes f*ck.
It’s not that spicy, but somehow that fits the story. I can’t, it was sweet. 5/5 Story, 2/5 Spice, would go with a general 4/5 🥰

Good Job!
If I could, I’d give this book a 4.5 (5 stars are reserved for the most epic of epic) but this author did something unique with this book. Not only did she create characters and a plot I enjoyed, but she created a dichotomy I’ve never seen before in a romance novel. She took the same idea (men who want to control women) and using the exact same principal, made you love one set and hate the other on a societal level! Kudos on the brain bending! Only critiques I would say are more smooty smoot and maybe instead of a playlist like some other books have you add some recipes she uses? ;) Definitely worth the read, looking forward to the next book!

F*** me! This was insanely good
I read each of Sadie’s books and think they can’t get any better, but every single time, she proves me wrong. Maeve, strong where she needs to be, but not some kind of super badass.
Poe, the artist, first to fall
Remy, the spatially challenged, who gives in next.
Bram, sugar fiend who won’t eat any of Maeve’s desserts, because this is only temporary and who hurts her so badly.
I thought my love for Blackwell had reached it’s peak with the B***ards, but I’m prepared to admit that I was wrong.
The whole book was absolutely fantastic, the spice is low but that tension between them all thrums throughout the whole book and when it kicks in, is so, so satisfying.
And that ending, knowing who could be after Maeve……omfg!

DNF. I feel like I’ve either read it before or am confusing this with another book. Either way, I haven’t been compelled to pick up my kindle to get back into the story. So I am putting it aside for something different for now. The concept is fun but a bit of a slow start. No real tension though our MFC seems to be attracted to some of them men. Just not enough chemistry or urge for me to get lost in this world to continue.

4.5 stars
I really enjoyed this. It’s one of the first books I’ve read in a while that felt like the why choose dark romances I loved when I started out reading them (Madison Kate series etc). I loved the angle of the bad guy being blatantly in the manosphere and being an influencer with human trafficking allegations. I think it might be a bit much for some people in terms of real world cross over, but it works for me.
Can’t wait to read the next one

Slow burn. Slow build up. Then it took off like a shot. But true to Sadie Hunt’s track record, ended on a huge cliffhanger. On to book 2!
I waited 7 months to start this series. Book 1 came out in October last year and books 2/3 came out in May. I hate when they do that and end on a cliffhanger.

This was super good!!
I loved the Hunt aspect and the storyline is building and I am loving it and it has the perfect spice for book 1!!
Bram is a stupid sexy idiot lol I can’t wait to see what happens with him!! Remy and Poe are still on my good graces though those sexy silly thoughtful men lol :)

I love this author. she tells good stories with unique characters. I wasn't sure bc of the covers (yuck) but it was so good. fmc needs revenge for sister's death...the butchers run the Southside and strike a bargain with fmc to kill for her....and characters from previous books make cameos. so fun!💯🔥☠️👹

Not a Dark Romance
There’s nothing dark about this book at all. I loved the description, but it was incredibly deceptive. The “hunt” is downright boring—nothing exciting happens, and most of it is just them running around tunnels.
Spoilers ahead. When they finally capture her and you think things are about to get interesting… all they want her to do is cook for three months. I actually laughed.
The guys were built up to be big, bad, and dangerous, but they don't use any of that. The entire book fell completely flat for me. Defiantly shouldn't be considered a dark romance.

This was genuinely the blandest book i have ever read. The only reason they like her is cause of her gun?? And for the past few chapters its her being domestic and cooking and working. An actual snooze.

Rate: 4.0/5
This book brought me back to my roots; Wattpad. LOL!
The writing has this casual style to it that I havent seen in years. Like the parentheses of clarity from the previous statement and the brief acknowledgement to the readers from the FL. Its a little refreshing!
Moving on, I thought this was going to be dark and take the route of us HATING the MLs then loving them but it didn't. This book is like going to the movies to watch Scream but instead Scary Movie is playing LOL!🤣 Not tryna say its a parody book, although it does have its comedic moments but its light for a dark romance reader.
Now with the MLs, they are actually chill, just intimidating and maybe sell a lil crack and drugs on the side but they still have a heart in the best way I can put it. Of course they have their jerk moments but its still better than other MLS I read about from other authors. The FL is also chill, she consented to everything and felt like it was fair to go along with their rules.
Long story short, its a good book, not too much angst and the author delivered what she said. No cheating/ OW Drama. I gave it a 4 star cause it was a smooth read for me and still got some emotions whirling. I figured a method when I get tense from the characters actions, I would read it out loud like a audible voice actor. It works like a charm helping me disconnect a little LMAO!

This book was everything I thought it would be and more. From page one I was hooked. Maeve is such a likable and relatable FMC. She is tough, takes no junk, is determined, loves to bake, and has a soft side. The MMC’s are deliciously scary and hot! Bram with his stick up his butt attitude toward Maeve, Poe with his nude meditation, Remy who is really into nutrition and happens to be the clumsiest person ever. This book covers how Maeve ended up in the hands of the Butchers. Why she took the route she did. & The time she has to spend with the Butchers (forced proximity) 😏 All the characters in this book are carrying their own trauma. That gets talked about in this book. The feelings they feel and the why of it all is so relatable and I really loved that you could understand how they are feeling bc we may have been through something similar in our own life. Maeve’s grief has taken her on this journey of revenge and by the end of book one things are getting turned up. Of course Sadie left us on a cliff hanger and I’m so excited for book 2! #ARCread #darkromance #RH #Butchers #thehunt #bookreview #bookstagrammer

Decent
The Hunt & the 3 guys weren't as bad as the synphosis made them to be- thank god! 2 of tge 3 mmcs were freaking sweethearts! The guys treated the FMC wonderfully- she legit just became their chef.
The fmc p-ssed me off here & there because of that fact & the way she acted towards the men. Refusing to share her plans or history with the guys.
She's also the stubborn & overly dependent fmc that refuses to accept help, refuses to call 1 of the guys to come pick her up when she & her bestie drank to much & decided to walk home from a bar, drunk late at night. Nearly resulting in both of them getting sa'd.
All homegirl had to do was ask the guys for that favor, 2 of the 3 would either done it in a heart beat. She could've added on another 3 months to get that favor.
Ugh, that cliffy hanger. She's so stupid to do that, so stupid to risk it because if she gets the wrong guts, shes done.

Omg I absolutely love Remy!!!! He is probably my #1 of Sadie’s men. I’m definitely a little scared for book two, side this was definitely a mild cliffhanger so does that mean we have a mild book two hanger or is it gonna be the worst cause this was so mild?! 😳😳 Either way I’m ready for the emotional roller coaster ride 🤣🤣

Una caccia nei sotterranei della città, che piano piano si trasforma in altro❤️❤️❤️
