Five years ago, I was found outside the Council District’s barrier with no memory of what came before. Now I’m trapped inside it, angry, confused, and drowning in half-truths.
I don’t know who I can trust, but I can’t ignore what I feel.
The bond between us is undeniable, an ache that never stops, but how can I trust them after what they hid? They knew what I was to them. They felt the same pull and said nothing, letting me believe my emotions were spiralling out of control, letting me think something was wrong with me.
I try to keep them out, to push them away, but they’re not willing to go down without a fight.
And when the enforcers start revealing their truths, their pasts, and the tragedies that shaped them, everything begins to shift. The more I learn, the more I understand their choices, their loyalty to each other, and the strange, impossible way I fit into their fractured unit.
We’re still hunting the Green Cloaks, still chasing down the pieces of my past as we try to mend the cracks between us.
But none of us is ready for the truths we uncover. Not when the truth hurts them more than it ever hurt me.

If I could make this review about ten pages long I would. 🥺
Book 2 of the series, The Enforcers was a five star read for me. With how book one ended, book two picks up right after.
Book two for me had more emotion, drive for our FMC, and also her four men. And can I just say having the multiple point of views was the cherry on top of the cake.
I loved seeing in the minds of all four male characters. How they were all connected to each other and also their bonded Jasmine. It’s so hard to choose a favorite, which I can see why Jas can’t with these men. Haha.
The storyline had a very good flow that was very well and easily to follow along with. You do have to read book one to be able to understand what is going on, but trust me, you’ll wanna read both these books.
I love the paranormal aspect of it all, the world they lived in and the descriptions of things around them, I LOVE the detailing of the spicy scenes and how they draw you in.
I love how each character had their own personality, by the way they spoke, their stories, their past, and their traumas. I think that’s why it’s so hard to choose between the four men because each man has their own way of drawing you in.
I think I said I love this book enough to help you want to read this book. It is DEFINITELY my favorite book series and a re read that will happen over and over again.
I received an arc copy and this is my honest review, the book is chunky but oh soooo worth it I wish it was longer (sorry mk😘)
I love these guys so much the character development, the drama, the groveling, the spice!!! Sai is still my ride or die but Zeek stepped it up! I need way more feral moments and you KNOW what we all want in book 3 😏
plot wise nothing happens but I loved it anyways. Some things that irritated me:
-sleepwalking. So random and so forcefully placed to fit the narrative. felt fake
-Sai could remove 2 marks by himself before but the third one, she needs to fuck it off (literally). how convenient
-bathtub scene. so dramatic. She only remembers 5 years of her life and she's only ever had showers. it's not that deep
-too often it was mentioned that they have shared women. why. I hope when she remembers her past it turns out she was freaky and will tell them all about it. I need them jealous
-too much spicy scenes at the end. it was so rushed that it lost its value. yearning>spice
-she let them off the hook too quickly. I wanted more of the tension and their grovelling
-also how do you buy a star?

Highly Entertained - Definitely give The Enforcers a chance, just don’t expect the same as The Inferno . . .
The Noteworthy Highlight: This is one why choose romance where I wouldn’t be able to choose between the MMCs. Kane, Ezekial, Julien, and Sai all had their moments. And I loved that about this series.
The Gist (minor spoilers for what to expect but no specific revelations): This mammoth of a book is quite different from The Inferno, but just as worthy of a 5 star rating, particularly if you like big books focused on the romantic elements, meaning the relationship dynamics in a polyamory romance. The Inferno was mostly told from the Jasmine’s POV and every chapter was filled with action that moved the overall plot forward, whereas this second book contains POVs from all five main characters - FMMMM and focuses on their relationship as well as the backstory of all four MMCs. There is a lot of dialog, but very little action or plot develops in the first half of the book. I wouldn’t call it a page turner, more of a rather large meal to digest and savor.
There are some delicious unexpected twists in the second half of the book and lots of spice. The ending didn’t have the major cliffhanger that I thought it was leading up to, so it both happily surprised and at the same time disappointed me in that regards. Still, I wanted to keep reading, and that is one of the best compliments I can give a book. There are still many unanswered questions, and I am wondering what type of book we will get in the third installment of Jasmine’s story. Whatever it is, I am definitely here for it.
The Speculation: The way this book is written it feels like Kacey might get her own book or book series, told in the same timeline as Jasmine’s story but from Kacey’s POV.
The TLDR is that Jasmine is coming to terms with the bond revelations and the guys are trying to be understanding and change their approach. There is a lot of time spent groveling and trying to fix things. Communication, honest communication, is no one’s forte, which leads to more misunderstandings.But hey! It’s all well that ends ?? It does end in a cliffhanger
If you was a more spoilery review, here it is: Jasmine is quite insufferable the first 60% of the book, yes she is going through some trauma and making the guys prove that they have changed is important, but most of the book is her not being decisive on what she wants and therefore sending confusing messages to guys and then getting mad they don’t understand! Daddy Darkness has the biggest character growth of all and honestly is the reason I decided not to give up, but it took me almost a week to read the book because Jasmine was so whinny!! Where was the awesome character from the first book?! We do ALL of their back stories and some crazy revelations that help everything make sense, but the book could have been about 10 chapters shorter, too much groveling. It was annoying, she spends a lot of time asking them to be honest with her whilst admiring that she is not being with then. Idk it was frustrating The halfway point should have been where the book actually ended, as cliffhangers go, it is a pretty good one. But the entire book happens in the span of 5ish very boring days… It is well written, but I think it could have benefit of someone having the sense to let MK know she was going to far with the groveling! But hey! If it is your thing you will like this!! It is a well thought out world, and I think it has set it up for a great conclusion tho

Book two of this series was such a gift. Given how big book one was, I wasn't expecting book two any time soon but it didn't stop me from searching the author every few weeks just in case. To my pleasant surprise she was able to produce book two quickly and it was another girthy treasure (800+ pages!!!). Book two picks right up where we left off, with Jasmine separated from the guys and deciding if she has the capacity to entertain their apologies. We don't stay forever trapped in that state. I appreciate the level of effort each guy takes to explain themselves and genuinely seek to repair the relationship, both individually and as a whole. We learn so much about each of the guys back stories and it goes a long ways in explaining some behavior from book one. I love how much care each person takes with all members of the group to be aware of triggers or insecurity and soothe those quickly. The romance and heat come life deliciously in book two. In short, this is such a great series, great characters that stay with you long after finishing the book. The cliffhanger was gentle (which I sincerely appreciate!). I'm so eager to learn more about who Jasmine was before the rune was placed upon her. I have a feeling book three is going to be action packed! I highly recommend this series.
Headlines
Spice 🌶🌶🌶 1/2 (including group pairings) No MM Cliffhanger - mild Trigger - summarized list included at the back of the book, fair amount of off memories or sharing backgrounds of past child abuse by parents or SA by adults
This book was such a strong follow-up to The Inferno. I loved that the focus shifted toward building the relationships within the unit and really deepening our understanding of the enforcers, especially their dynamic with Jasmine. Watching those bonds evolve was just so satisfying.
And the groveling. Oh my god. The groveling was so good. Easily some of the best groveling I’ve read in a why-choose romance. It felt genuine, emotional, and earned, not forced or rushed. Absolutely chef’s kiss.
Can we talk about Lord Ezekial for a sec? Because he is way too hot. Like, the mouth on this man should honestly be illegal. Excuse me while I recover.
And Kane...*breathes deeply* Hello? Did I expect him to grovel this hard? NOPE. Did I enjoy every second of it? HECK YES. The way he grovels, the emotional intensity, the quiet desperation, the YEARNING??? it hit all the right notes.
Julien and Sai are just straight-up unhinged in the best possible way. Pure chaos. I love them. I mean, Sai getting pissed at his hair is LOL.
Also, I respectfully request artwork of the Friday gathering because the tension in that scene was unreal. Truly tensioning. I was holding my breath the entire time.
Thank you for ending this on a not-so-brutal cliffhanger. I appreciate being emotionally wrecked but not destroyed. I’m already excited for book three. Please gimme.
After devouring The Inferno months ago I've done nothing but yearn for The Enforcers to come out. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for this book, but that in no way changes my opinion.
The Enforcers is a chunky book, but I still hunkered through it in 2.5 days - and I loved every second.
The guys have a ton of making up to do after the previous book, so reading how they each tried to make up for everything was so sweet and heartbreaking. I learnt a lot about each of the characters throughout, and it gave me such a deep connection to them all.
The writing is so addictive, and left me wanting/needing more. The character development is written brilliantly, and made me love them all so much more.
The Enforcers is more character/relationship focused and driven than the first book, but I think it was definitely necessary to build a foundation on who they are as a unit.
This was a great second book which made me laugh, cry and yearn for more. It's romantic, action packed and wholesome in a way I didn't expect. The world building is very clever, and I loved every second.
It's easy to say I'm very much looking forward to the next!
I have a love-hate relationship with a groveling trope. Sometimes the graveling is overdone. Sometimes the FMC is playing miscommunication game tropes, but the groveling in this book was heartrending. It was more than just groveling. It was our MMC’s learning how to love themselves , our FMC learning let herself be herself be loved, this groveling was about wholeness and completeness, and it left my heart aching, and my ears are blurry the entire time it was happening. MK Michelle has managed to write a book where the plot moves with pace with the feelings, but it doesn’t feel too slow, but incredibly meaningful each page adding more depth and when the spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️ happened, it felt rewarding. It felt gratifying. These are some of my favorite book boyfriends. They were genuinely all different from each other, but I love when a reverse harem has a brotherhood. That’s just a strong as their relationship with their FMC. I’m still looking forward to the next book.
The descent has never been so satisfying. Each page builds tension; the Queen of Yearning, M. K. Williams, has truly delivered something incredible with this instalment.
The characters are deeper, richer, more unhinged and more feral than ever. The plot development and exquisite world-building perfectly capture each character’s story arc, unlocking mysteries and forging deeper connections. All five characters deserve a place in your heart - and on your shelf.
Jasmine, caught between light and dark, now has 4 MMCs waiting on her every move…until the darkness pulls her, them and the readers into a spicy inferno that no one will want to leave. And in trademark fashion, M.K. excels at endings 😏 Until book 3…!
M.K. Michelle did it again. The 2nd book in The Inferno Saga was freaking fantastic! This is a chonky book and I am so darn glad because this author took all the time to give us more background on the MMCs and to follow the relationships and forming of bonds with the FMC. The character building in the this 2nd book was top tier. The world building didn't stop either. Honestly, it's hard to believe this is a debut series for this author. I am very much looking forward to the next book in this saga, as well as any future works by this author. I don't think you'll be disappointed in giving this author's work a chance. Like me, they may well become one of your favorites! (As a bonus...check out the character art that's been shown on their socials.)
I was very lucky to receive an arc of this book. We got so many questions answered but just as many new questions to keep us guessing. I loved getting more of the back story on all of our guys and how they ended up as a family group. Sai is still my favorite though lol. It was really interesting to see more of the world open up as you go through everybody’s past. I really hope the next book finally takes us out of the city since the lockdown is over at the end of this book. This was a great book to end my year on!
This series so far has absolutely blown me away, the MMC’s in this book have quickly become some of my absolute favourites 😍 Their character development and personalities have me absolutely hooked…and the grovelling 🤤 Jasmine keeps them on their toes and brings the best out in them…as much as you can woth some seriously feral MMC’s!
Another ending that had me desperately looking for the next page, the plot keeps me hooked and i can’t wait to see what happens next, what other secrets are yet to be revealed and how everything is going to tie together!
I thought the Inferno one was so good and honestly this one was even better. I love how long these books are. There is so much detail and I also love how much emphasis their is on their relationships with Jasmine and with each other. A lot of fantasy/romance is fast burn, no plot, and insta lust/love. No build up. This isnt like that at all. This is all slow burn build up. So satisfying. I hope I don't have to wait to long for the next installment.
So I read the first book one in a day. I was mad I had to wait 24 hours for the second book and I finished the second in 2 days. I would have finished at 1 but I had to go to work. The slow burn the character building the plot twist holy moly, just ensnaring. And the spice between the main characters. Just chef's kiss.
Are you kidding?! Ending an 800 page book with more questions!! It takes skill as an author to keep a reader entertained for 800+ pages, let alone in the second book of the series… I am impressed with M.K. Michelle and the world she has built within the series, I’m so excited to learn more about Jasmines past in book 3!
O M G! What a book. Definitely stepped up from inferno! Such a creative and beautiful story, perfectly written, I can imagine it all in my head as I read it. So amazing to see all there povs. The personality changes from them all had me gasping! Had to put the book down many times to scream out loud and pace the room because THOSE scenes were 🥵🥵 had me hooked. Definitely a book i’d love to dive head first in and live there! Thank you MK for such a masterpiece ❤️
Excited for how the whole story comes together. Loved the development of the relationships. Each Character is really well fleshed out but man do I have questions still!
Loved every minute of this book. Who doesn’t want 4 sexy men on their knees trying to earn your forgiveness and affection? Sign me up! I don’t know what it is, but something about M.K.Michelle’s writing just scratches that itch for me, just *chef’s kiss*.
wow okay. don’t even know what to say. a high 4.5 stars for sure. it was genuinely a whirlwind of emotions that i was not expecting. was it a VERY lengthy book? yeah. it definitely was. but did i devour the heck out this book? yeah i most certainly did.
