Saving her wasn't my downfall... Realizing I couldn't live without her was.
In all the years since my brother's death, no one ever noticed I was beginning to spiral. Unhinged by grief and driven by vengeance, I began to unravel. The darkness was winning, but that all changed when I saved her. Liam Blackwood's sister. I thought I wasn't ready to settle down, but finding Wynter changed all of that. Having her in my life helped curb the chaotic storm stirring within me. I'll do whatever it takes to keep her… to protect her… and possess her. I'm obsessed with the older woman. She is becoming my salvation, and the desire to not only master her body but her heart as well has me believing in a future I never thought I'd have. That is, until betrayal rears its ugly head and the monsters resurface. Even knowing that my parents had plans for me to marry, I never prepared myself to go through with it. I was in charge of my own future, but now I'll do whatever it takes to walk down that aisle. As the new Queen of the Hall, my arranged wife will accept me as I am, no matter what. And when her body is beneath mine, there will be no room for negotiation—I am the master. She believes she can save this god from himself, but I have other plans. If she truly wants to be mine, she must join me in the madness and allow me to master her.
Now that Wynter is mine—I will never let her go. Until death do us part…

Finally we get Zilas and Wynter’s book and this doesn’t disappoint. Full of the usual triggers you would expect from the Gods of Nyte Hall and then some! Zilas’s obsession with Wynter started when he rescued her, he promised himself to make her his and being a God that is what he does. Wynter still struggles with the aftermath of her obduction and betrayal of her ex-husband. The last thing on her mind is a new relationship, especially with someone 10 years her junior. Whilst trying to fight her attraction she knows there is something between them and knows in her head that he won’t stop until he gets what he wants. When Zilas kidnaps her from her holiday and asks her to marry him on the plane back, while she initially has doubts but she reluctantly agrees and worries what his friends will think of her. However, she need not worry as they all welcome her with open arms and when threats are made all the Gods take it upon themselves to hunt those responsible making shocking discoveries on the way.
This book explores Zilas’s character more and we get to know him and his dark ways of dealing with things, including Wynter’s ex-husband. There is a sadistic way to him which Amara doesn’t help with as the little devil finds this intriguing and exciting as only she can! There are also some surprises on the way in which Wynter has no fear of him when she delves into his world and some of the things she joins in with are a surprise to him as well as herself!
I loved this book. It’s definitely darker than the other Unholy Gods books but for more this makes the characters more interesting. I love the obsessive relationship Zilas has with Wynter and that she doesn’t fully submit but keeps him on his toes and is willing to explore more with him than she ever realised she needed to.
As with all this series you need to check the triggers as some of the themes in this book can be upsetting and there is a scene of attempted rape. This is a dark romance with dark vibes and obsessive nature. You have been warned!
I received this as an ARC and am leaving my own review
What can I say about my man Zilas? It's always the quiet ones... Stacy has hit it out of the park again and this is my favorite and The Nyte's Hall series by far. Not only did Zilas make me want to hit him upside the head at times but so did our FMC Wynter!! Please make sure to check the TWs because your mental health matters more than a book but if you are a fan of reverse age gap, morally jet black MMC and Mafia like vibes? This book and the series is for you. Job well done Stacy again!!
This book takes on Zilas and Wynter's story. Zilas is a walking red flag but Wynter is about to change all of that. She's a gem and even though she has little backbone she is a force. Nothing is as it seems this is dark twisty and will leave you breathless.
To say that Stacy Rush, and the voices in her head, have done it again, makes it feel ad though I am just repeating myself. But girl did she ever! This is Zilas’ and Wynter’s story in the Unholy Gods series. Silas is one of the Hods of Nyte and man oh man does he give off unhinged and obsessed like a true master.
After Zilas rescues Wynter from her ex-husband, he just cannot get enough of the woman. It is always the quiet ones I swear, that are the most unhinged and spicy I swear. Up until this story, Zilas has been protective of those he loves, secretive of those around him, and even more mysterious than those other descriptions. Within this story you will want to sleep him upside the head, and be loved by him all at once. The rollercoaster of emotions is definitely rollercoastering.
Wynter is the female main character in this storyline that has completely captivated Zilas’ attention. Wynter is the nanny hired by Nyx and Raya. She is also 10 years the senior to Zilas, has done the marriage thing before, and it did not end well. She attempts to stay away from him, to hide the way that she feels, but honestly there is no hiding anything from any of the Gods of Nyte once they decide they want something. This is one of the first reverse age gaps that I have read, and I absolutely ate it right up.
One thing about the Gods of Nyte series one should always know to do is to check the trigger warnings. If anything on that list is questionable to you, please know that it will be in this book and caution should be taken. Continue reading at your own risk, but know while it may be a dark and twisty ride, it will always be worth it.

Lordyyyyyyyy well Miss Stacy Rush… she has done it AGAIN!! Mastering Her is where we finally see Zilas in action. He’s been quiet the last 3 books.. mysterious… and you know what they say.. it’s always the quiet ones you need to look out for. After Zilas helps save Wynter Blackwood from her disgusting excuse for ex husband.. he can’t get her out of his head. And it’s only a matter of time before he makes her his.
“What is it about Wynter Blackwood that has me willing to throw everything that I've ever said about not settling down just yet out the window and make her mine? I'm drawn to her; that's obvious. But why?” -Zilas
I just could not get enough of these two. I’ve been curious about Zilas since day one and he definitely did not disappoint. He is completely unhinged and I was definitely ready for it! Wynter is just amazing. I love her. She had it rough.. and that’s putting it lightly.. before Zilas came to her rescue. This is the first I’m reading a reverse age gap, and again loved it! I’m a sucker for a good age gap, so if that’s what you’re into as well definitely check this out! But remember to read the triggers this one definitely got darker than the other 3!!
Zilas & Wynter are a big yes for me. Their story was one of chaos and calm. Truthfully.. they mastered each other perfectly. I love how all the Gods really LOVE their women and would go to the end of the earth for them. Zilas fell HARD and I knew when he carried Wynter out of that cell, it was over for him 😂
Wynter was one of my favorites FMCs. She was level headed and on point. When she took care of Austin I was like YES GIRL KEEP GOING. But what I loved most is that she made a home for Zilas and all his monsters. Just like he took care of all of hers.
As always.. Mara’s relationship with the girls is my favorite. I wish she didn’t do what she did with Beefy Cupcake because I wanted to see more into that haha but overall, this book was delicious.
Also.. SO HAPPY Stacy let Wynter be curious about Adrik & Zilas. That scene was a CHEFS KISS. Stacy - thank YOU for another phenomenal read
Oml, Just wow Stacy!!!! Unholy Gods Mastering Her is definitely much darker compared to the first three books, and I 1000% absolutely loved every bit of it… I was very surprised by Zilas, he was so quiet in the first three books and to see him come out as this totally unhinged person was just so perfect. ( chefs kiss ) Like they always say it’s always the quiet ones that get you.. And then we have Wynter the main FMC who I felt so bad for because she had such a sad and difficult past. But like all of Stacy books that I read so far the FMC always gets their revenge and watching her get her revenge was so satisfying! you’ll definitely want to check this one out especially if you like dark unhinged MMC… this book really kept me hooked from start to finish!
Um….yes please! This book was so good! Zilas & Wynter’s story was definitely one of my favorites! The FMC is older, which I love, you get it girl! The MMC is battling demons and is at times unhinged, but it’s like the FMC is able to center him! The banter is so fun and the spice as per usual with Stacy’s books is on point! This book and the entire series I would recommend! This is considered an interconnected standalone but I would recommend reading the series in order. Check triggers. I hoe you enjoy this book as much as I have!
Okay Stacy! This series has had me in a chokehold literally not able to read anything else. Although you don’t have to read the other 3 books first, I recommend it so you don’t get any spoilers. Absolutely check your triggers as well.
Zilas has always been one of my favorite characters and his book did NOT disappoint. Stacy is great at giving you the spice but also making sure there’s a good story line to follow.
I haven’t been this wrapped into a series since The LORDS but this will definitely be on my “To Recommend” list!
Omg! Mastering Her was definitely a lot darker than the first 3 but I'm not mad at it! It had me hooked from the first page and I didn't want it to stop! Wynter's backstory broke my heart but as always Stacy's FMCs get their revenge. Zilas has so many demons but with Wynter he can control them. The epilogue threw me for a loop and I can't wait for the last book in this series! This is my third favorite book in this series!! I can't wait for this beauty to be on my shelf!
WOW! This book blew me away. This is the 4th book in this series. Yes they can technically all be standalones but I would highly recommend reading them in order. Plus you don't want to miss the others' stories either. Zilas has come across as this soft and sweet man up until now. Just when you think you might know what Stacy could do she throws all the curve balls at you. This book is darker than the last three and your MMC is just a tad more unhinged than you'd expected. Wynter is a strong FMC like Stacy's girls tend to be and she may have a story that isn't for the faint of heart but she is a fighter. Which turns out to be the center point that Zilas needs as he fights those dark demons inside him. I could not get enough of the banter with the characters in this book. I was laughing out loud at a few of these lines. There's still questions I need answers too as well! This book was just another phenomenal Stacy installment!
This is the 4th book and this series has been one of the most binge-worthy series its so hard not to talk about spoilers but I won't but I will tell you this this each book pulls you in so quickly; these books keep you wanting more and never want them to end. Stacy has such a talent for writing. Make sure to check triggers, but if you’ve read this far, you already know what you’re in for. Such a delight—couldn't recommend it more. If I could rate it 10 stars, I absolutely would.
Stacy’s done it again, get ready to enter the dark and twisted mind of Zilas. It’s the quiet ones with the deepest secrets. This book tells the story between Zilas and Wynter and believe me it’s a dark and depraved type of love. This book was amazing and the writing was 👩🍳💋highly recommend! If you’re looking for a dark and twisted romance with a bunch of TW. This one is for you!!!!! Check the TW prior.
Guy’s have you read this series because if you haven’t read it yet you need to run and read them. Yes they can be read as standalone but you will get spoilers if you read them out of order. This is one is my second favorite book in the series. What Zilas does for Wynter is one of the most amazing things about him. He will go to the ends of the earth to make sure she is happy and protected. An she will do anything for him that he needs from her. Love this couple they were made for each other.
Just when I think the Nyte’s Hall can’t get better Stacy Rush gives us Zilas’s story and completely blew me away. So many layers to his personality. His emotional depth and evolution is fantastic. Wynter is one of my favorite FMCs. She is resilient and with a confidence boost a true force to be reckoned with. I love reverse age gap and this one is written so well. Their dynamic is addictive and banter so fun. The spice is scintillating and I loved every moment of their chaos. The rest of the Unholy family are sprinkled perfectly throughout this story and I’ll never get enough. The moment with Adrik was one I didn’t know I needed and thoroughly enjoyed. This dark twisty suspenseful morally questionable read is one I highly recommend along with the rest of this phenomenal series.
Zilas decided that he needs to control his own life; with every twist and turn he faced he still made sure Wynter was his first priority. This reversed age gap was not your topical love story full of butterflies and rainbows Zilas and Wynter faced some serious issues from arranged marriage and phyco family members but do give into all the stress and part ways or do they grow stronger? Find out
this book was amazing I love love the growth of the fmc. I admit she surprised me and I was all for it. and the mmc I never thought he would have a dark side like he did, but the way he was with her just melts me. review by Qu33nsara
Phew Stacy’s at it again bringing not only a good story but the spicy scenes are amazing too! Both the MMC & FMC think they’re to broken for love. It’s amazing watching their growth together while they teach each other they’re not too broken in fact they both have their own unique characteristics.
Mastering her is just that. From Zilas haunted past and what happened with his brother to Wynters marriage and her abduction, they are trying to navigate thier feelings for each other. Zilas trying to give her space and help her deal with what happened with her ex, will he go down the rabbit hole? Wynter is trying to find her place back in life and figure out what is going on between her and Zilas however they are faces with betrayal from someone they least expect. Can they survive and with his secrets of the bedroom 😋 Mastering her will keep you on the edge of your seat amd not wanting to put it down until the book is finished.
This book was just as good as the others in the series. In typical Stacy Rush fashion, this is a dark romance, and as she is growing as an author, it is getting darker and darker. I am here for it! As always, make sure you read the trigger warnings so you're not getting into depths that you are not ready for. If you are a fan of mafia, morally black characters, and amazing spice....oh man, you are in for a treat. This whole series has been 10/10, and Mastering Her does not disappoint at all! Thank you Stacy, for bringing me into this type of genre!
What can i say but just WOW!! What a ride!! Love the chemistry between Wynter and Zilas!! Truly loved this story!! Her parents and his parents arranged for them to marry so they could have a heir to run the families business. Zilas is obsessed with Wynter and treats her like a princess that she is after she was treated with abuse by her husband Austin. Zilas steps up and takes care of like she deserves. Stacy hit it out if the park again with this story!!
“Saving her wasn't my downfall... Realizing I couldn't live without her was.”
“Now that Wynter is mine—I will never let her go. Until death do us part…”
Stacy never disappoints! I’ve loved every book in this series and I seriously can not wait for the their little devils story! Zilas and Wynters story is different from the others in many ways but when one of the Gods finds the one they want they will do what they have to to get and keep her and they love them hard. Wynter overcomes a lot throughout their story. They get their HEA but they do have to fight for it in a few different ways. Definitely MIND YOUR TRIGGERS!!
The love and devotion these men show their Queen’s is a dream. Add in all the intense spice and other action and OMGosh. I absolutely adore this series and these men and their Queens. Can’t wait to see if there’s more!!!
I loved this story about Zilas & Wynter! Age gap doesn’t matter! Yes this book is darker than others but it is a great read. This series sucks you in & keeps you interested all the way through. Bring on the little devil!
STACY AHHHHHH. . . . . Zilas and Wynters book was amazing I say this about every book cause dang they keep getting better. I always think she can’t out do her last book but she proves me wrong. Wynter comes from a very messed up marriage and meeting Zilas was the greatest things she ever did. But that didn’t come easy teaching her heart to love someone again was hard. Zilas the silent one of Nyte Hall I would have never saw his character come on like I read but man oh man was it amazing. Please check trigger warnings. And happy reading
I absolutely would've devoured this way faster if I wasn't busy moving. Zilas and Wynter may just be my fav couple from the series. She takes absolutely no shit and isn't afraid to put him in his place. Full of spice, revenge and all the good stuff. Read it immediately.
I mean, what do you expect from Stacy Rush. NOTHING but perfection. I mean, we have waited for Zilas’s story and man it didn’t disappoint. He is completely unhinged in the best way possible. Ms. Wynter’s enters the story and tames him. There is spice, chaos, banter everything you can possibly expect from Stacy’s writing. I love how all the characters make appearances in the book. Who wouldn’t fall in love with the Gods of Nyte?
