Viper
Revenge. Secrets. Betrayal.
When we planned this, we knew we were going to have to face Rune. Pretend to be his ally. Pretend to be just as thirsty for evil.
At the time, revenge was a hungry beast, driving us all, turning us just as mad as him. Now there is so much at stake. Now there is so much knowledge.
Before, Rune was a monster who fed off terror, driven with a grotesque hunger I’ll never comprehend. And never forget.
But now? Now we know.
He’s Cora’s tormentor. Delilah’s pain.
He’s a vile cancer that needs to be cut out.
Lies. Secrets. Betrayal. Revenge.
Viper always protected his brothers, even at his expense. He may be impulsive, erratic and chaotic, but his loyalty never falters. He holds dark secrets. A childhood no one knows about and memories that haunt him.
Yet none of that matters when the woman he is obsessed with is back in the hands of his enemy.
And he will do whatever it takes to keep Cora safe, even if it means he has to be reckless.
With the stakes growing higher and higher, Viper has to work with Breaker to infiltrate Rune’s inner circle and complete the contract that will ensure the Snyder Group gains access to the lodge.
Back at the mansion, Reaper and Striker are left to clean up the chaos Fallon left behind, while they try to protect Delilah from the monstrous world their father created as they prepare her for war against the man who made her.
Until everything spirals into ruin.
But in a world driven by revenge, love may be their most dangerous weakness.
Viper picks up right where Breaker left off. This dark, gritting story weaves the books together and secrets are revealed. Secrets with dire consequences that could cost the four brothers everything.

I was lucky to have been an ARC reader for Viper, the 4th book in Fanny Lee Savage’s Unmasked series. And lemme tell ya, these books have me in a freakin chokehold… Fanny Lee’s ability to write the SPICIEST scenes while also delivering page turning plot is second to none. Viper did not disappoint… the only thing that did was knowing I have to wait approx a year for Reaper!!!

I had the pleasure of ARC reading this book and let me tell you. Fanny does not disappoint! Her intricately woven web or revenge is unmatched. Character development is on point weaving in lives of sorrow and found family! This was well worth the year long wait! I can’t wait to see where she takes this!

Well I’m not okay, what the actual F was that (in a good way) hahah Fanny you did it yet AGAIN I swear I need Reaper STAT
This was so freaking intense, the plot the twist that keep twisting hahaha if I hated Fallon and Rune well I hate them even more like super uber hate or something
My Cora my poor Shayla, she’s my fav FMC and she needs good things in her life, she’s just o man haha I just wanna hug her ( and I don’t do hugs) she’s just being through hell and back same with my pretty Viper.. I thing Vipers story was probably the hardest everything what he went through, what he’s still going through fighting his demons my poor Shayla….his awful past, the things he had to endure to protect Breaker and Striker… 😭😭
I hope that all of them get a HEA they fucking deserve it and all of the shitty asshls can go to hell… Rune, Fallon (I don’t care that he’s kinda nice sometimes.. still an awful, crazy, asshole), Dave, fuckn Zane I hope he suffers with Rune.. the others are already gone but if not I would def. put the nun in the shitty list (I forgot her fking name but I hate her)
I was trying and failed to read the ARC very slowly but I just couldn’t, Fanny I need all of your books like air hahaha ok I know I sound like a crazy person(mm maybe I am haha) but seriously what I’m supposed to do now ¿??
Wish list:
… I hope Reaper and Stricker can be with Cora (like together together she needs all the D´s, Delly needs to fkn share her toys like Cora does)

Fanny Lee Savage has done it to me again. Viper, book four in The Unmasked Series was a wild ride that I could not stop. The chaos that was started at the end of book four just picks right up and leaves you spinning. Viper’s flashbacks are devastating and give readers insight into his character. I loved seeing the continuing development of the relationships in this beautifully done why choose series. Some ongoing questions are answered or at least starting to be slowly partially revealed. While this book left me very satisfied with the latest plot developments, of course am now eager for Reaper, especially since he is my favorite. I can’t wait for 2026!
“My eyes lock with Reaper's over her head.
We're all so close that I sense his posture shift, turning predatory.
Possessive.
Even in the fading purple light, I catch the glint in his onyx eyes, the flash of primitive hunger.
Sense his dark dominance rising. It rises in me too, scratching at my bones. The need to claim.
To taste.”

I WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS SERIES
This godamn series. It has become fixation that all the thoughts in my head swirl around. It’s so unassuming, a masked men why choose romance? Count me in. Little did I know this series would play out to be one of the most complex stories that goes so deep you can’t even see the ripple of the surface. Blink and you will miss it, stare at a white wall for ten minutes kind of plot lines. This book in particular just brought more of that and what it brings more of than the prior books was information. This book is riddled with it. Things are starting to make sense. The plan, the whole goal and plot of the series are finally coming into fruition.
We of course have to talk about our title character. I do not have favourites in this series, I love all my masked men equally but if you’re asking me who I feel the most in awe of, the answer in Viper. Of course we don’t yet know everything about all the men, even though we’ve had a good look into Breaker and Striker, I do still think there’s more to come from them and Reaper is allusive as D.B. Cooper at this point. Everything you find out about Viper in this book is heartbreaking. This man, this boy has horrifically been trodden on by every person in his general vicinity. The worst part of it, is that he expects it. This six-year-old boy anticipated it and for the most parts just gets on with it, the abuse, the neglect and at points he even welcomes it to protect his brother’s innocence.
Viper is the heart of the group. He has given up his soul for those he cares about with little thought. It was relieving to see him finally be under some sort of protection, for the protector to be guarded, coveted almost. Reaper stepping into this role is really what makes his character formidable. I don’t think Reaper is particularly more skilled or smarter than the others in the current timeline, the reason he is daunting in his presence is because he views himself as the first sacrifice always and he knows everyone down to their bones. I think a similarity could be said for Viper but I think the difference between the two is that Reaper can keep a secret when it needs to be kept.
Just to push the boat out a little bit further, I do think that potentially one of the guys are the mercenary that killed Caroline Julian, the logical answer would be Striker but the fact that this hasn’t come out yet is leading me to believe that this was one of Reapers missions. Why is Reaper the last one to shed his mask? Is this strictly down to Delly? Or is this a combination of that and his hesitancy to reveal his obvious similarities to Fallon and subsequently Hunter?
Now, I don’t know why this has stuck with me incessantly but Connor. Rune’s driver. Which side is he on? Previously, Cora has thought he was somewhere in the middle but if we are to believe Rune (do we really believe anything out of that man’s mouth), that’s not the case. What does Connor get out of his job. Sure, it’s a job. I assume he gets paid well but he lives, eats and breathes Rune. He lives on his estate, he is on call 24 hours a day. When would he even have the chance to spend the money he is earning? Does Rune have something over his head? Is he sick in the head as well and his payment is the participation?
Overall, This book is phenomenal and everything I want to say about it is a spoiler. I think Reaper and Cora will end up being the masterminds here, I know Deliliah is lined up to be the queen of this operation but Cora shows so much more understanding of the situation that I just don’t think Deliliah encompasses. I am bursting at the seams. Just genuinely, if you like a why choose and are partial to a dark romance, give this series a try, you won’t regret it. It starts with a steamy novella and is currently steaming ahead in absolute mental carnage.
Everything is so well thought out. You cannot convince me that Fanny Lee does not have a detective esc board at her house with 100 pieces of red string. THE RELEASE DATE IS VIPERS BIRTHDAY FOR GODS SAKE. I love this series and I hope you do to. Thankyou to Fanny Lee for letting me be a part of your ARC team for Viper! This was one of my most exciting and mentally taxing reads of the year, If you want to slide Reaper into my inbox like next week, I would not be annoyed at all and maybe the title of book six? I can keep a secret.
SPOILERS
I also think this is the first time (let me know if I’m wrong!) that we have had some sort of confirmation on page of Hunters torture, We have the fingers and then ‘other body parts’. What are these body parts? Are we talking an ear or a head? Is this a point blank confirmation of this death? Or this just an assumption of his death by the men? How do we know these limbs are actually Hunters? We have the tattoo’s but couldn’t they be replicated? It’s not like Rune has a lack of dead body’s hanging around at the cabin. I’d assume they would have some sort of DNA testing done but we have no confirmation on this! While I’m at it, WHAT IS IN THE SAFE! This isn’t a small safe, it’s more of a safe room, the type of room where you would keep the kidnapped son of your worst enemy perhaps? Why is Reaper so insistent to get in that room when Fallon is over it? Could it be Hunters remains? I’m spiralling.
We learn an awful lot about Vipers back story in this book, more than the others. Mainly due to the fact that he has more memories pre-training that the rest of them. His lineage is explained to an extent but what I do think is interesting is that his father is a throw away character, an unimportant. Could this be a diversion for something to come? I love the theory that Clyde is Vipers dad but this doesn’t make sense logically and I think it’s a little too nice for this series. My guess is Maxim. I think it would make sense for his father to be a volatile character we all hate, to have zero care for his kin and affection for his mother. I don’t really have any grounds to stand on other than the timeline could work and I think this could be a very full circle moment.

I just want to give Viper the biggest hug 😭😭 all of our men have truly been through hell. I love that we get a different side of Viper and his relationship with Breaker. The spice in this book, easily 5 🌶️ and I don’t give that lightly. This book was completely worth the wait and I cannot wait for Reaper, literally I might die 😭😭😭

Thank you to Fanny for allowing me to read this ARC for an honest review.
As always, this is a dark romance - please do check the triggers before reading.
My review
OK wow, she’s done it again! Another 5 star from me.
Make sure to read Prey, Striker and Breaker first as each book follows on directly from where the previous book left off.
As always, pacing was spot on and it was great to learn new tidbits through the flashbacks.
I struggled to understand Viper much (apart from his relationship with Breaker) in the previous books as I felt he was more aloof then the other men, but in this book we learn so much more about him and why he is the way he is.
I love to read how protective the men are of both Delilah and Cora.
As with the previous books, there is A LOT of spice 🔥 (One scene being 3 chapters/27 pages long).
That cliffhanger though - I cannot wait for Rune and Fallon to get what’s coming to them, and I desperately need Reaper’s book like yesterday 😅
Favourite quotes
“Keep looking at me like that.”
A warning.
A promise.
“Like what?” I breathe.
“Like you want me to ruin you.”
I think he already has.
“What’s worse than defying my father?
Falling in love with the enemy’s daughter.”

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Fanny you have done it to me again, had me hooked from the very first page and trading until my eyes couldn't stay open.
Viper is book 4 in the Unmasked Series and it follows straight on from ending of Breaker so be sure to be up to date or else you will get lost
Viper was a rollercoaster of emotions and tension and spice.
The book was absolutely amazing and very much worth the wait and all the edging with quotes the past few months
Vipers flashbacks broke me into pieces seeing insight into his character and what has made viper was tough to read.
I experienced every emotion while reading this book from my heart swooning to sobbing my heart out to nearly throwing my Kindle across the room in parts
I loved seeing the character development and their relationships grow throughout this book. The developing plot had me in a chokehold
I had lots of questions answered but in the next breath has more questions added.
I'm eager to read Reaper for more answers and see where fanny takes us next on this journey
Please don't let me wait too long for Reaper
The scenes of spice were off the charts and had me very hot under the collar.
Viper did not disappoint
Fanny the queen of cliffhangers left me on the edge with that ending
Thankyou for allowing me to be an arc reader and letting me read your book is an amazing privilege

Where to even begin? This was easily the best book yet which is really saying something because the first three are truly incredible. The things uncovered about Rune and Fallon in Viper were truly foul and reprehensible. And the absolute delusion Fallon is under that he’s not a monster should truly be studied by experts. There’s some really pivotal scenes with Breaker and Viper that had me completely melting. The things that happened to Viper over the course of his time at the school were extremely harrowing and I loved the insight we got into why he’s so protective of his brothers and his girls. The lengths that Delilah has to go to to train to Fallon’s liking are actually insane, but so is he so I guess that tracks. I loved the way Reaper, Striker, Viper, and Breaker were so fiercely protective of Cora and Delilah (chapter 37!) there’s a lot of brutal training and Fallon tries so hard to break the bond the guys have with Delilah and it really just made me hate him more than I already did. All of the new information we got about the “ballerinas”, Clyde’s involvement with Rune and Fallon, about Reaper himself and about the plan was all so crazy and I was honestly pretty shocked about some of the things that are revealed. The spice was HOTTER THAN EVER. Omg Breaker and Viper together was super memorable but just wait for chapters 50-52. Gonna make you SWEAT. Of course this ended on a huge cliffhanger and I’m truly desperate for Zane and Rune to get what’s coming to them. Fallon too for that matter. He sucks extra hard.

I’m sorry??!!! That ending?!!!! You’re telling me I need to wait until TWENTY TWENTY SIX for the next one?!😭😭😭
I don’t even know where to start.
Viper!!!! My baby😭😭😭 thinking about what he went through 😭 I pray this man has a happy ending. I pray they all have a happy ending. Finding out with every book more and more about what all these boys went through destroys me.
Rune & Fallon. Who is worse? Honestly don’t know at this point lock me in a room with both of them I just need a word xxxxx
Cora & Delly - MY GIRLS!!!!!! IF ANYONE LAYS A HAND ON THEM I WILL GO TO WAR OK??!!!
The way Fanny writes these characters genuinely has me thinking they are really people. The anger, the sadness, every single emotion was felt during this book. This is 1000% my favourite book of the series so far I genuinely cannot wait for the next one.
The most underrated why choose dark romance in the whole entire world😭

5 ⭐️
5 🌶️
I have been waiting a YEAR for this book and I devoured it in just over a day! 😭🔥
As per Fanny style, we jump in exactly where Breaker left off — pure chaos, obsession, and “hold onto your soul” energy. This series is such a wild ride, and the way she drops backstory in little bite-sized pieces is chef’s kiss. 👌📚 She’s so smart with her reveals… always giving just enough while keeping you desperate for more.
This was Viper’s moment to shine 🐍 and we finally get deeper into his past and how it intertwines with the rest of the cast. The connections, the tension, the emotional hits — soooo good.
And the spice?
TOP. TIER.
🔥🔥🔥 One scene was THREE CHAPTERS LONG and I enjoyed every filthy second of it. Fanny did not come to play.
Then — because she is the absolute queen of cliffhangers 👑🧨 — she leaves us dangling right over the edge again. Now we wait a whole year for the next installment and I’m screaming.
I highly recommend this book! If you haven’t started the series yet, begin with Prey — you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure to read the triggers if you have sensitivities! 💀❤️🔥

Then — because she is the absolute queen of cliffhangers 👑🧨 — she leaves us dangling right over the edge again. Now we wait a whole year for the next installment and I’m screaming.
I highly recommend this book! If you haven’t started the series yet, begin with Prey — you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure to read the triggers if you have sensitivities! 💀❤️🔥

Viper’s book drags you right back into the brutal, addictive world of the masked men, but this time with a level of emotional depth that hits harder than any of the books before it. Through Viper’s perspective, and the expanded POVs from the rest of the boys, you see even more of the history, trauma, and twisted loyalty that shaped them into who they are. From the very first chapters, I was hooked, flying through pages every time I picked the book up.
What truly sets this book apart is how deeply it cuts into the past. You get a raw, heartbreaking look at the brothers’ upbringing and the monsters who controlled their world. The emotional stakes are higher than ever, especially as Delilah and Cora’s stories collide with the boys’ buried pain. These threads weave into a dark, gripping narrative filled with tension, violence, obsession, and fierce devotion; the kind that makes your heart ache and your stomach twist.
The pacing is relentless, balancing trauma, action, and heat in a way that keeps you glued to the pages. Even with complex timelines and multiple POVs, the story never loses focus. Every reveal adds weight. Every shift in dynamic deepens the connection. And the spice? Dark, intense, and woven into the story with purpose. Some scenes absolutely took my breath away.
By the end, I was emotionally wrecked.. in the best way. Viper is dark romance at its finest: raw, intense, and unforgettable. It expands the world, deepens the bonds, raises the stakes, and sets up what promises to be a devastating and brilliant Book 5, Reaper’s story.

What can I say? This book was absolutely everything!!! Emotionally charged, sexy, and sooooooo good.
We see flashbacks of Vipers that wrecked me! Ugly cried! I just want to wrap him in love and show him he is everything beautiful and worthy!
We see Breaker who battles with choices he made, and coming out a true winner in more than one area, IYKYK!
Striker and Reaper are battling their “father”, if you even want to call the pos Fallon that, at every turn they can. Not without consequences, trauma, and exhaustion either, but they do it for them…
Delilah, life has changed so fast for her. It’s all left her angry, hurt, but so determined to do what she needs to do, even if it means having to undergo hell by Fallon, did I mention we hate him very very much this book?
Cora, our sweet and strong Cora. The things you go through girl, but you do it for them. You are so fierce and so strong, one day justice in a brutal form is coming to Rune…we hope… and your heart will truly be able to start healing.
This book, book 4 of The Unmasked Series, is absolutely the best in the series so far. I have never signed so hard, raged so bad, squealed and kicked my feet in joy and became an absolute puddle. Yes, I felt bipolar with this book.
This MMMFFM book has by far outdone all the others I have read. Watching 4 men who longed to know what love is finally starting to see it, feel it, and experience it. Watching them learn to accept it, welcome it, and fight for it.
Why are you still here? Go devour this series!!!

Viper by Fanny Lee Savage is an absolutely gripping dark romance that sinks its claws in from the very first page and refuses to let go. The plot is razor-sharp—intense, seductive, and brilliantly layered. Savage masterfully blends danger, mystery, and passion, creating a world where masked men rule the shadows and nothing is quite what it seems.
The chemistry between the characters is explosive, raw, and completely unforgettable. Every twist had me desperate for the next, and every emotional hit landed perfectly. Viper himself is the kind of enigmatic, morally gray man you can’t help but obsess over—sinister, alluring, and utterly compelling. Hearing his story has completely changed my view on him and helped me understand his character more.
If you love dark romance with depth, tension, and a plot that keeps you breathless, Viper is an absolute must-read. Fanny Lee Savage has delivered a haunting, deliciously addictive story that I’ll be thinking about for a long time.
The unmasked series is at the top of my list ! Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Pure perfection.

Viper by Fanny Lee Savage completely pulled me in. The romance was incredible and the emotional depth between the characters felt so real. I love how this series keeps growing, but this book stood out in a powerful way.
What hit me the hardest was Viper’s background. Seeing pieces of his past and finally understanding the reasons behind his choices made me fall for his character even more. Those quiet, painful moments shaped the entire story for me and added a level of intensity I was not prepared for.
The character development in this series is one of my favorite parts. Every book reveals something new and Viper’s journey felt especially meaningful. The connection, the tension, the tenderness layered beneath the darkness all of it landed perfectly.
This was an easy five star read for me. It gave me everything I look for in dark romance and left me thinking about these characters long after I finished.

Viper is the fourth book in the Unmasked series, and the character development is top tier. Readers are given so much more insight into Viper’s character through the flashbacks that show the development of Viper as a young man, and who he is in the present. They are well written and can be emotionally devastating, if you’re that type of reader, but they delve deep into the relationships between the main characters. Every glimpse into the past shows readers more and more about how the present came to be.
There is a lot of spice in Viper, but I felt as if each scene forwarded the overarching plot line. It wasn’t just smut for smut’s sake. Which don’t get me wrong, I can enjoy a book written like that, but I am enjoying the Unmasked series so much because it has a plot line and plot development of an actual revenge story, even with all the spicy scenes. The writing gets better and better and I can’t wait to continue reading the series with the next book, whenever it is released.

HANDS DOWN 6 ⭐️
4/5 🌶️
4.5/5 ✍🏼
Duel POV
Tropes: Touch her/him and ☠️ , bi awakening, mafia, found family, forbidden love, revenge romance
The ULTIMATE balance of spice + plot and they both DELIVEREDDDDDDD
I have never exaggerated when I say that this is one of my favourite, if not THE favourite why choose series I’ve ever read.
The writing absolutely brilliant, and beyond worthy of going viral (just wait, it’ll happen)…
Plot: emotional, intelligent, dark (seriously), thought provoking, keeps you hooked and wanting more (and more answers too ty very much Fanny Lee)
Spice: something I haven’t seen before in how beautiful, dark and captivating it all was.
The series is so much more than ‘just smut’. The depth the author dove into herself and her creativity shows. That being said…the spice is SPICYYYY
I love the memory recall in the last chapter. It completely brought the moment to a new level.
Pretty rude with that cliffhanger too tbh. I have SO many questions.

December 9, 2025If you've read the first three books then you know this book is amazing. It starts out right where Breaker left off. Viper is of course showcased in this book. and you really get to see his heartbreaking history.
Fanny does a great job of teasing more of EVERYONE'S back story. She really has me salivating for more.
The spice is just right. I was worried after the events of Breaker that the spice would be thrown off, but it wasn't. (whew!)
Viper ends on a cliff hanger (don't be surprised, there's still two more books coming). And I am sooooooo looking forward to the next installment.
All in all I HIGHLY recommend this dark romance.
Read if you like:
Mafia
Found Family

I am so proud and excited to have been chosen to receive an ARC of Viper.

Fanny Lee Savage, you are one of my absolute favorite authors 🤩.
I love The Unmasked Series and Viper was the best book so far.
You write incredibly well. Easy to get into the book and feel for all the characters. The common thread runs through all the books so far and I can't wait for the next book in the series.
Delilah and Reaper are my favorites but right after of course Breaker, Striker, Viper and Cora.
I read the first three in the series 11 months ago and reread them now from December 8 to December 12 so I could update myself again.
Wishing you all the best with awards for these books and for you. Thank you for a series that has everything.

I have waited soooo long for this book and it was so worth it. Honestly I am really sad, that I have already finished the book. I am already looking (impatiently) forward to the next one.
My favorite is Reaper and I am really excited for his side of the story. I read a few of the other reviews and it seems that a lot of them want Cora and Reaper to interact sexually. I have to admit, I kinda don’t want that. I don’t know why, but I would prefer it if Reaper and Delilah’s exclusive arrangement continues.
The story is so dark and full of negativity (in terms of trauma, thoughts and interactions) that it would not quite fit, if the ending is a complete happy ending. Obviously I hope for one, but it would seem a bit ill fitting. So I am really curious to see, how their story unfolds/ends.

This was so good, I’ve been waiting to read this. His book was more than I expected. Viper’s history is bananas. I’m so in awe of Viper. I hope to see certain characters be slowly and painfully taken out in the next book. I can’t help but be moved by what the guys and girls have to go through. The girls are preparing while the guys are guiding them; all the while trying to keep their full intentions from those that could stop them. I could feel that they care deeply for each other even more now and we still have another book to go. Thank you Fanny Lee Savage for making me love these characters!

Whew. Viper. Wowza.
I started Prey because of the 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ but I stuck around for the cliffhangers and the questions I needed answered. Now on book 4, I STILL have questions! Fanny Lee Savage is the queen of giving you just enough information but not nearly enough information.
Viper’s story took off right where we left off from Book 3. It was fast paced, kept me hooked and wanting more. As the books continue and we really see the background of these men, it’s such an emotional roller coaster, and Viper’s story is pretty devastating.
The spice in this was, as always, top tier. I missed Cora and Delly together, their loyalty to each other is the best. But seeing them have to rely on themselves, their strength, their determination was a great change of pace. Please check the triggers before reading. Mental health matters!
I’m really looking forward to Reaper’s book next year because that man is a screaming red flag. And I am here for it.

The fourth book in this series was dark, twisty, and completely addictive. It’s the kind of book that has you thinking about tiny clues from earlier installments and wanting to do a full series re-read just to catch everything you missed. The shocking revelations had me glued to the pages. I’m counting down the days until Reaper’s book - I need his story now!
December 8, 2025
I couldn’t put the book down. This is the 4th book of the series and it was definitely more emotionally connected to the story and the characters. There were so many unlocked new questions, answered questions, and things you didn’t even realize to ask yourself, throughout this story. And the cliffhanger, OMG. I thought I knew what the cliffhanger was, I was so wrong. I can’t wait for the next book to come out and for this one to go to Audible.
December 4, 2025
OMG this book was phenomenal!!! I don't know how Fanny does it but this series keeps getting better and better. The level of anticipation, suspense, anger, and excitement I felt reading this book was insane. There's no way not to feel for these characters. They've all been through so much, especially Cora and Viper. They broke my heart. But then there's also so much growth, especially in Reaper and Deli, you can see them evolving by the page. So many dots got connected in this book and yet so many more questions arise. I found myself theorizing over and over. The spice was top notch, the story was action packed, the character and relationship development was done beautifully, and then that cliffhanger left me reeling and wanting more. Definitely a fantastic story and I can't wait to see what's going to happen next, in Reaper's book!!!

And the plot thickens…..

I finished the book 5 minutes ago and I’m already itching for more. How am I expected to wait for Reapers book….
The spice in this book was absolutely amazing. I mean Fanny is the queen of spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
This book has so many twists and turns. I was hooked on from page one. I need my masked men back 🫣🫣
This series will forever be one of my favourite series I’ve ever read🥵🥵

I can't even begin to describe how much I loved this book, it was so amazing!!
I had the hardest time deciding to forget all my responsibilities and just devouring it in one sitting or taking my time to savor every word, savoring won out and I can't wait for what comes next in this awesome series. Read the trigger warnings and prepare to fall more in love with these characters, feel their pain from their histories, and their strengths as they overcome and plot the most thrilling revenge plans. 1000/10 recommend!!

This book and this whole series will have you HOOKED! She teases you with answers to your many questions a little at a time. The plot and backstory are well thought out and goes deeper than basic surface level stories. But don’t let that fool you about the spice! The Spice be SPICY!! 🥵 and so well written. You will not be disappointed
December 2, 2025
I devoured this book! Our sweet and sexy Viper just makes you want to crawl into bed with him and never leave. This man suffered through so much. My jaw was on the floor through most of this book. If I thought I couldn't love these men anymore, I was sorely mistaken! The love Viper feels for the 5 of them, despite what he's been through is incredible. Reaper, THAT MAN. I adore him and I have so so many questions. This book made me fall harder for me, but also made me want to shake him a bit. I have more questions then answers and I need the next book like now! I will be impatiently waiting and tagging Fanny Lee Savage for Reaper's book! I cannot freaking wait!
If you like masked men, major spicy scenes, why choose then please do yourself a favor and pick these books up!

I had the privilege of getting an ARC of this book and it left me speechless. This is book 4 in the Unmasked series. I have never been so invested in fictional characters and what is yet to happen.
The character development…the flashbacks, the growth, found family, secrets, revenge…every piece builds from one book to the next.
Viper’s story is another level. Fanny Lee Savage pulled back the layers of Viper to show a dark past, his fierce love, his unwavering loyalty, and his drive for revenge.
