The Boys of Briar Hall
An Amazon top 50 dark romance series.
If you love dark humor, found family vibes, and a morally grey heroine with a tongue as sharp as her blades, this series will swallow you whole.
Morally black. Unhinged. Killers.
Corvus, Rook, and Grey – the Crows.
Bred in a world of gang wars, violence, and secrets, they rule the bloody town of Thorn Valley and all the people in it…too bad for me, I’ve never been good at kissing ass or keeping quiet.
Even if their black souls awaken something inside of me I thought was long dead, I can’t break. I won’t.
They think they scare me, that I’ll run and hide, but the joke’s on them. The Crows aren’t the first monsters I’ve faced, and they won’t be the last. There are worse evils out there waiting to take their stab at Ava Jade Mason.
I say let them try. I’m tired of running. Tired of holding back my darkness. Thorn Valley isn’t ready for a new boogeyman. Too bad I’m already here.
this story is intended for mature audiences and contains foul language, high heat, lots of murdery mayhem, and jealous/possessive themes. Please read responsibly.
The best-selling Boys of Briar Hall series contains over 1300 pages of fast-paced dark romance for you to binge! Reading

amazing series
I absolutely love this series!! I was hooked from start to finish.
Crooked Crows is the first book in the Boys of Briar Hall series. We meet our badass FMC Ava Jade and the three MMC Corvus, Rook, and Grey. I am so excited to be reading this series the first book wasn’t too spicy just a couple scenes however I am definitely addicted and want to see what happens. This is a why chose novel so definitely excited to see where this series goes.
I am loving this series. Ava Jade is a badass. I am loving her relationships with each MMC. The trials were absolutely insane and the stalker 😳. I can’t wait to keep reading this series.
Ava Jade, Rook, Corvus, and Grey are all paws when it comes to AJ’s stalker. This book so far has to be my favorite. You think you have everything figured out and then the ending 🤯
This is the last book in the Boys of Briar Hall series and I absolutely loved it. As someone who loves guessing what’s gonna happen I did not predict how it would play out. I love Ava Jade’s relationship with each guy. This is probably the first time I didn’t have a favorite and love them each equally. The smut and suspense is perfect for this series

After 1300 pages of intense story, plot and spice. It is finally finished and has left me fulfilled and searching for her next book. All 4 books are incredible. I absolutely adored all the mmc as well as the fmc. FMC Ava Jade is a bad ass who doesn't need saving, when she can save herself.
The spice was deliciously dark and intense, be advised if you're not into the dark you may want to skip this, because there's wickedness afoot in this series.

Title: The Boys of Briar Hall (Boys of Briar Hall: Book 1-4)
Author: Elena Lawson
Review: This series had me from the very first chapter. A strong FMC that stayed her true badass self throughout and her beautifully damaged sexy guys. This series had it all and I just couldn't put it down. I loved all the characters and pov's, the plot itself was fantastic and always kept you guessing. At some point you would think this lot would catch a break, but no, the author just kept putting out more and more and I LOVED it! Rook... you are my soulmate!
**Chefs Kiss**
Stars: 5/5 ★
Spice: 3.5/5 🌶️
Recommend: Yes
Notes: Review based off the whole series

Fly with the Crows little Sparrow, don't become a ghost.
Once you read the book, you will understand.
What a ride, in more ways than one. I loved AJ, her character and the guys. There is violence, there is steam and one kick arse heroine. I lost sleep reading it. I am also happy that AJ's bestie is starring in her own series.
If you like dark, steamy and thrilling. You will enjoy this series.

The way this is my ABSOLUTE favourite dark romance, why choose series!! Ava Jade is the most well written bada$$ FMC I’ve read and I Love the way the Crows compliment and uplift her. They aren’t her knights in shining armour, they’re her morally grey found family. Rook will forever have a special place in my heart and Ghost will always have a different meaning after this series!

LOVE
This book keeps you on your toes. A girl who grew up taking care of herself but finds the ones who would kill for her, die for her and risk it all for her. I loved it and wish there was more.
