genuinely this series is ruining me in a way no book has done before. it feels like i’m 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. it’s gut wrenching. when people say that they stare blankly at the wall after finishing a book, this is what this book does.

“To the women forced toward rage: cheers to the great escape. May all the devils on earth burn.”
I’m crying. I’m an actual, full blown mess after reading this book. I don’t even want to think about it. A book had never had the ability to emotionally destroy me as much as this series is. My heart actually ACHES. Like, genuinely - it’s broken like a wound that will not heal.
The amount of tears this book has made me shed is surely unhealthy. I honestly feel as if I’ve lost a piece of my soul after reading this book. I honestly didn’t think it could get worse but oh boy, it did. It sure did.
The sheer amount of strength that the characters have displayed is unworldly. Their fight against trafficking, at sacrificing chances at their own freedom to fight the organisation that took so much from them kills me. My heart is aching and bleeding for these characters. This series is tearing my heart out of my chest, stomping on it until it’s a mess of unrecognisable pieces that will not heal until I see these characters get the happiness they deserve.
I have never felt so emotionally attached to characters as I have with the characters in this book, not only from book one, but also new characters that were introduced in this book - the Ravens. Gosh, the found family in this book guts me. The trauma these individuals have gone through, and are still going through, makes me sob. Oh, how my heart aches. The pain in this book was so incredibly raw.
I cried throughout the duration of this book, but gosh, the 200 page mark destroyed me completely. I feel so empty. I knew something was going to happen, but nothing could have prepared me for what did and what came after.
I honestly don’t know what to do, how to feel, what to feel. This series is cutting me so deep, I know I’m not gonna be the same person after this is done. Please, please check the trigger warnings for this series as it is extremely dark, and tells the story of some of the most depraved individuals and organisations, and a gut-wrenching and harrowing story of survival and the fight against trafficking.
The ending of this book has completely ruined me. The last line gave me chills. I’m genuinely terrified to read book 3.

I can barely breathe.
How?
I’m going to need Odessa to tell me when the next part is out… preferably yesterday.
Highlights
“And I only wear that disgusting ring if we’re meeting Buyers. I am not your wife.”
“If there’s a fucking mark on him, I’ll let him kill you.”
“But toys are… fun?” I twined my fingers over my knees, unsure how to be around him. His chin trembled. “No, kid. Toys aren’t fun. Not anymore.”
My girl. My girl. She’ll never understand just how many lives she saved, and that is the real fucking tragedy.
“I’m not a pyro.” “Bitch, your day job is lighting men on fire,” Monty argued. “You’re a fucking pyro.”
You’ve nothing to apologize for. I’d say I’d kill him for the marriage, but it seems Mother Nature already got the message.
I told you, didn’t I? I kissed Thorne Creed at eighteen not knowing that one day he’d destroy me. That day had finally come.
I loved, and I was loved. What a fucking miracle. It’s all I remember—them. Everything else, all that shit, it’s just gone, and so am I. Finally.

3.5 stars- preferred the first one but the ending of this one was really good. Story is becoming more fleshed out and lowkey can’t wait for the next one ahahah. Loved that we got Rafe’s backstory and his POV. Also didn’t notice any grammar mistakes which was good. Think this series is acc really good for an independent author. Thought this book was really emotional as well!

This book obliterated me not once but twice. This series is no picnic but the amount of times I cried in this one was embarrassing. I just don’t know how much more pain both the characters and I could take. The ending is devastating.

Dark doesn’t cut it. I didn’t know what kind of a story this would be as I mostly got dragged in by the TW page. Go figure.
I’m reviewing both book 1 and 2 in this post…but damn if this story wasn’t extremely soul crushing, yet liberating. It’s not happy. It’s not peaceful. It’s not sweet. Yes there is love but it’s deeply rooted in traumatic life events. It’s trauma bonding at its lowest. Dark and mesmerizing. It’s not overly detailed with the SA scenes, but paints enough of a picture to leave you thoroughly infuriated and often sick to your stomach with their entire situation. As you should be. One word. Haldon. Well done at making me hate a character so thoroughly that my fists clenched and teeth gritted, with every page turned. Just the name is enough to have a colorful stream of expletives leave your mouth at any given moment. Swift death is a kindness in their world, and not granted to those staring down the reaper and begging for death. Creed was born from pain and soul crushing despair. I fully expect them to seek justice and revenge but also wreak havoc in book 3, and I can’t wait for the conclusion of this story.

This is more of a series review than a review of just one book because I binged all three so quickly that I honestly can’t remember exactly where one ended and the next began. In a way, I’m glad I read them back-to-back because having to wait between releases would have been absolute torture after everything these characters went through.
At first I wasn’t entirely sure what to make of the story. It felt a little confusing to begin with and I needed some time to settle into the world and understand where everything was heading. Once I did, though, I found myself completely pulled in. What the characters endured was heartbreaking and the more their pasts were revealed the more devastating and emotional the story became.
I loved watching the main characters slowly build their own little found family and seeing just how deeply they cared for one another. The way they protected each other, even when it meant putting themselves through pain, made their bond feel so powerful and genuine. I adored every single one of them and honestly wanted to reach into the book and shield them myself, especially once parts of their childhood backstories started coming to light.
I would definitely warn people not to read these books in public unless they are prepared to get emotional. Every time something good happened, or the characters were given even the smallest moment of happiness, something else seemed to come along and break my heart all over again. Rafe’s past and everything that shaped him into the person he is now, completely shattered me. Even weeks after finishing the books, I still find myself tearing up when I think about certain moments. My only real complaint is that I wanted more; I would have happily read much longer versions of all three books because I was not ready to leave these characters behind.
It’s difficult to put this review into words without giving away spoilers, because so much of what made the series powerful was discovering each twist and emotional reveal along the way. I loved the ending and seeing Arden and Rafe finally get their happy ending (or maybe just their happy for now I don’t know). After everything they had been through, it was lovely to have that moment of happiness for them. At the same time, I’m already desperate for the next book because I need Kane’s story immediately and cannot wait to see where the series goes next.

Beautiful and tragic!!
This book is a devastating exploration of the cruelty, the damage, and the quiet, stubborn fight to survive unspeakable horrors. Written with haunting precision, it tells a story that is as brutal as it is beautiful.
It’s a story about healing, but not the gentle kind. It’s about the kind that comes through breaking, through confronting the parts of yourself shaped by pain and learning how to live with them. The characters don’t find comfort in each other—they find understanding and peace in space. And in that understanding, something dangerous takes root. Clarity
Another empire, this one built on shared wounds, fractured trust, and the slow, reluctant realization that healing doesn’t always look like light—it can look like choosing to stay, to fight, to feel, even when it hurts.
This story doesn’t promise redemption or easy answers. Instead, it shows that healing is messy, nonlinear, and often intertwined with darkness. And sometimes, love isn’t what saves you—it’s what teaches you how to survive yourself.

This was really short!
My emotions were honestly all over the map here. The time jumps are totally unnecessary in how they are done and make things complicated. There is unexpected loss here that yes I am super upset about, but also.... Well played. You knew what you were doing you little heart ripper outer! Getting one of the big bad guys here sort of fell flat. It could have been a lot more intense, but it was intense in other way. Which won't make sense here but I'm not a spoiler person, okay?
Ive now completed the series and yes I liked it a lot. It was a rollercoaster. Things were constantly happening, it was never stagnant, and the characters were so beautifully broken. Their traumas and responses were written with a ton of effort and care, and yet it all came across so effortlessly.
I could sit and pick things apart, but at the end of the day I'm a mood reader and this fit the bill. I was sucked in, and I would recommend it.

A major step down from the previous book. The pacing was all over the place - crucial scenes got rushed while things that had already been addressed multiple times kept getting drawn out even further.
Still absolutely baffled by how the FMC's platonic relationship with Alexander ended up better developed and more carefully written than anything she had with Rafe.
Also - called the death of *that* MMC back in book one. I even told my fiancé that the way he was being written felt like he was just a stepping stone in the FMC's character development, so the moment itself didn't exactly shock me.
Also, with all the other deaths of people close to the FMC, that particular one started to feel unnecessary on top of everything else. Very Divergent of them.
Such a shame, because this series had so much potential.

Alexander orchestrated a legal marriage to Arden so she could inherit his billions and his “Creed” legacy after his death. By giving her his name, he provided her with the ultimate “great escape”—the financial and legal power to protect herself and the other brothers. As the story unfolds, we learn that Florence, the ASL teacher, is Alexander’s sister, and the group manages to set some things right, though they suffer a great loss: Thorne.
I loved that in this book we got to know more about Rafe, since we also get his POV, as well as Thorne’s. All in all, this one felt more emotional and sensitive.

Giving this 4.5 like I gave this first book. . By this time I was fully attached to most of the characters. Holy shit balls … I was pulled into a vortex of hell but I also couldn’t stop and clearly did not because I finished the trilogy. Heart achingly so but I finished the series. Again the author made you need to know where this story was going but also know the characters more. I really felt for them and their bond. Some weirdness in does happen in the book just little things that have to do with the romantic aspect. But it’s again not something that I couldn’t overlook. It’s not a the main point of the series anyways. It’s surviving hell with a found family

5✨/5✨
"3 days. 72 shittly little hours" SOMEBODY SEDATE ME!!!
How in the absolute HELL am I supposed to just go on with my life after reading this? When Arden said Thorne was gonna break her heart NEVER did I think it would be that. AND THE ENDING? WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?!
PLEASE I JUST WANT THESE KIDS TO FIND SOME GODDAMN PEACE AND FOR EVERYONE TO LEAVE THEM TF ALONE!
I am utterly broken and I will be taking a pause before I read book 3. Someone give me an address, I need to know where to send my extensive therapy bills because after that emotional damage I refuse to pay for them myself.

amazing
I loved this book the same way I love the first I can’t wait to read the next one right after this!! odessa Harlow is an amazing author the way they write is beautiful and powerful. the themes in this book are dark, but in a way that makes you really think about the world we live in the things described in this book are someone’s reality and it breaks your heart. Again I’ve never cried so much while reading a book you cry for the characters on their behalf. I can’t wait to read the next book

Still such beautiful writing, loved getting Rafe’s POV and backstory, loved the development the story is taking. So gut wrenching, I was crying for half this book literally unable to see through my tears. Ugh having to wait for the next book is going to be torture.
I was too shocked at what happened to thorn, I really had the hope all 4 of them were gonna make it out, like surely this authors is not going to let one of them not make it after all they had been through together.

holy EXPLOSION OF EMOTIONS
Words…. I can’t even begin to form them. I thought I was prepared from book 1 but holy Toledo what a tornado of emotions. POOR ALEX😭 and ugh why… just why! It’s like reading exodus all over again except with more favorites to lose. 1000/10 read but just be prepared. The first book was amazing but this second one was phenomenally written. I might have just found a new top 3 favorite author 🙈

The feelings that I have toward these books is indescribable. It just makes me want to cry. The love these characters have for each other, the horrible and immense pain they’re feeling, the tragic situations they’ve found themselves in, I just want to cry for them. I couldn’t put it down and I am looking forward to reading whatever this author puts out. She has been added to my auto buy list

I love this series
Her books are dark but they are dark for a different reason. They truly make you think about the world we live in and if we are certain that the world she creates and the ones in which we live are that much different.

Jesus, another blinder.
Jesus, another blinder. When I first started this series I wasn’t sure I’d like it. The jumps in time and numbness. I was wrong. The depth and intensity of this story so far is immense.
