“I am the deadliest of sins… but you know me as Lust.”
Estranged from The Cardinal Brotherhood, Lux has been roaming the Earth for a thousand years, biding his time until he can avenge the murder of his mate. Once upon a time, he was Lucifer’s second in command, and the most revered warrior of the Underworld. Presumed dead, he’s been lying in wait, readying himself for revenge.
Passing the time with humans has gotten old - seduction has become too easy in the twenty-first century. Lux believed there was no challenge left in this world… until the moment he set eyes on Sirena Sovende.
“She sees me for who I really am, like no being before her ever has.”
An anthropology professor, Sirena is convinced that there is no higher power, destiny, or fate in this life. However, she’s never found an understanding of her own wants and desires. The day she crosses paths with Luxure Zonder, her carefully constructed world begins to crumble, uncovering earth-shattering revelations that could threaten not only her life, but the very foundation of mankind.
As the reality of her existence unfolds, Lux begins to question everything he’s ever known. Now, he must make the decision to reunite The Cardinal Brotherhood, and enlist their help to save Sirena from falling into the clutches of those who would harm her, and risk throwing the Underworld, the Heavens, and everything in between into chaos.
Lux marks the beginning of an incredible journey of humanity, spirituality, and romance. The Cardinal Brotherhood is a paranormal powerhouse series. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, and desperate for more.

Ne saçma bir kitaptı. Ciddi anlamda nefrete yakın duygularım. 15-16 yaşlarında okusam belki romantize eder, çok detaycı olmaz, severdim... Ama artık yüzeysel şeyler tatmin etmiyor beni. Benzer türde daha iyilerini de okuyunca tamamen gereksiz bir kitap diye düşünüyorum. Seriye bakınca, her kitap farklı karakteri içerdiği için bazı şeyleri görmezden gelebilirim dedim. Üstünkörü anlatılan evren, hızla gelişen duygular, bize çok fazla verilmeyen içerik... Ama her karakterin hikayesi olsa da anlaşılan Sirena ve Luxure'nin hikayesi daha bitmedi. İlerleyen kitaplarda yine onların üzerinden ilerleyecek gibi... Umarım öyledir, değilse ilk kitap hepten saçmalık. Ama öğrenmek gibi bir niyetim de yok 🤦🏻♀️
İlk üç bölümde zaten adapte olamadım bırakayım dedim. @Ayşenur / nursak da ilgi duyunca, güzelse okurum diyince dedim negatif olma daha erken, devam et. Devam edince açıkçası merak eder oldum. Ama çok basitti. Duygular, karakterler... Yani çok göz devirdim. Sirena ve Lux'ün arasında bir çekim var ama kaçarlarken ne ara aşık oldular, bir birleri için ölümü göze alır oldular 😱 Replikler de amatörce yada duygusuzdu bence. Neymiş Sirena çok inatçıymış ama kimseyi onun kadar sevmemiş. Eeee ben buna gözlerimden kalp çıkarmak yerine göz devirdim işte 🤭 Aslında söylenecek çok şeyim var. Ama yine de merak edeni olursa diye evreni kısaca tanıtayım.
Prologue kısmı bin yıl öncesine dayanıyor. Luxure ve kıymetli eşi Abiteth gayet senli benliyken, Abi bir anda gerilir. Ve nerden vahiy aldıysa artık Vollstreckerlerin yani Lucifer'in azılı askerlerinin onu öldürmek için geldiğini düşünür. Lux ise olmaz öyle bir şey, biz kankayız, ben onun ikinci komutanıyım bla bla derken Abi'yi de alıp Uitare'ye ışınlanmayı dener. Ama Abi yerine tek başına gider. Geri döndüğünde Abi ortada yoktur. Onu da anlamadım oldu diye düşünüyor ama ölüm sahnesi yoktu. Yani ilerleyen kitaplarda belki ortaya çıkar. Aman banane 🤭Lux bu ihanetten sonra Lucifer ile yüzleşir. Ama o da ne?😱 Bu sefer kendi canı tehlikededir. Yaralı bir şekilde Uitare'ye gider. Ve orası neresi?
Evrende bilinen beş boyut(?) mevcut. Üstten aşağıya doğru sıralarsak.
Cennet —> Nebeský —> Dünya —> Uitare —> Yeraltı Dünyası
Nebeský'ı Čuvariler, Uitare'yi Masuulkalar koruyor. Tarafsız, ne iyi ne kötü varlıklar. İlk kitapta Uitare'yi tanıdık. Tek bir sesin olmadığı, konuşamadığınız, nefes almanın zor olduğu bir yer... İblislerden saklanmak için harika bir boyut .Nebeský hâlâ muamma. O da ikinci kitapta ortaya çıkacak sanırım.
Lux bir Masuulka olan Selma sayesinde hayata tutunmuştur. Bunu bilmeseniz bile mübarek her fırsatta dile getiriyor. Lux biz arkadaşız diyor, Selma kalbini Lux'e vermek için elinde taşıyor.Tabi ne zaman Uitareden ayrılsa seni bin yıl hayatta tuttum bunun için mi diye de lafı yapıştırıyor 🙄
Lux yine ava çıkmışken, bir üniversite öğrencisini takip eder. Ve o da ne😱Deli dehşet kızımız, afet-i devranımız, muhteşem kızılımız Sirena ders anlatıyor. Ve ona sanki gerçek onu görüyor gibi bakıyor. Herken onu 60lık bir erkek olarak görürken, o menekşe gözlü, dağ gibi taş gibi bir erkek görür. 🤭😝 Aralarında bir çekim, bir tutku derken çok yanlış bir ikili olurlar. Bir iblis ve inanmazsınız yarı melek bir kız 😱😂😂 Doğal olarak herkes onlara karşı. Zaten Lux mimli. Sirena ise evinin sağı solu Guardians/Koruyucu meleklerle çevrili 🤭Tabi haberi yok. Ama merak etmeyin öğrenince her şeyi cici cici kabul ediyor. Bir de Lux'e çok güveniyor 🤦🏻♀️Niye güvenmesin. Eski başmelek, şimdinin Fallenı babası Gabriel ona yalan söyledi.🤦🏻♀️
Kitapta kardeşlikten Colére (Wrath), Kadedus (Envy) de olaya dahil oluyor.Aaa Cole demişken , kıymetli eşi Abi'yi paylaştığı kişi aynı zamanda...
"Belki onu etkileyebiliriz? Eski günlerdeki gibi olurdu. O zamanlar çok sapıkça şeyler yapmıştık." Abi'nin Cole'dan seks için bize katılmasını isteyeceği zamanları düşünüyorum. Benim için rahatsız ediciydi ama bunu onun için yaptım. İkimizin de onu aynı anda becermesine bayılırdı ve onu bu kadar tatmin edici görmekten zevk aldım. Sonra aklım Sirena'ya dönüyor. Onun yüzünü zihnimde hayal ediyorum, cildinin dudaklarıma dokunuşunu ve... kızgın. Onu paylaşmak istemiyorum.
Yok ya benlik değil hiç... Hele üçüncü kitap da iki kardeş bir kadın için mücadele edecek gibi. Tamam biri oburluk, biri açgözlülük ama banane. Hiç cazip değil 😒 Ben sevmedim yani. Sonu da dediğim gibi Sirena ve Lux için bitmedi belli ki...Birde iyi tarafı kötü kötü tarafı iyi gösterme derdinde kitap. Ne bileyim. Şu replik bile tek başına bende kitabı bırakmayı düşündürdü😂
"Kim olduğundan utanma, Luxure."
"Bunu nasıl söylersin? Ben yürüyen, konuşan bir kardinal günahıyım. Ben sadece iyi insanları mahvetmek için varım."
Elini güven verici bir sıkmayla dinlendirerek uyluğuma uzanıyor. "Amacınızı yerine getirin. Sen dengenin gerekli bir parçasısın. Sen seçmedin. Seni seçti."
"Ben hala bir iblisim. Nasıl giydirirsen giydir."
"Lüks... Senin iyi yanını görüyorum. Beni güvende tutmak için hayatını tehlikeye atıyorsun. Seni görüyorum."
Sevmedim. Bence zaman kaybı bir kitap/seri...

Luxure - The Cardinal Brotherhood Book One by Sienna Parks is a new series and Luxure is book 1 in the series. I found this to be an intriguing plot, fantastic characters and phenomenal world filled with angels, demons and other creatures. I loved Lux and Sirena and found their story entertaining and intense. This was a great PNR story, and the descriptions in the story of about everything were brilliant and really painted a great picture. Sienna takes her readers on a journey -- Heaven and Hell, and Good and Evil thru the seven deadly sins and the one featured in this story is LUST. Luxure "Lux" Zonder, demon and the woman he meets, Sirena Sovende, “human” or is she just human or is she more? Lux is about to find out when they go on a journey and many secrets come out. Its something you must experience, read and you will be blown away. I cannot wait to read book 2 in this series.

Started off good
This book started off interestingly enough. However, there was a lot of over-explaining. There was so much much description in parts that didn't need it, that I found myself skipping over a lot of parts of the book, including extremely proper conversations. Had potential but dropped off in the end.

LUST - The Deadliest of Sins
Who am I?
I am LUXURE, but everyone calls me Lux.
However, you know me as ... LUST.
I am the Deadliest of Sins."
With this introduction, Sienna Parks has entered the Paranormal World with one almighty explosion. LUXURE is unlike any Paranormal story that I have read before. She has taken this genre and made it her own. This, the first in the CARDINAL BROTHERHOOD Series, is quite simply ... PHENOMENAL. This is a complete different take on the Seven Deadly Sins.
Luxure "Lux" Zonder, demon and one time second in command to Lucifer King of the Underworld, has been in hiding for 1000 years. Now that's all about to change. He is about to put his safety, and those he loves, on the line for a "human". A woman. She is no ordinary woman though. She hides many secrets, that both he and she are completely unaware of. Her name ... Sirena Sovende.
The attraction that exists between Lux and Sirena is transcendent. There is desire, need, chemistry and of course ... Lust. It also goes beyond these though. Throughout her book Sienna has given priority to the need to protect. Whether it comes from Lux protecting his brothers, his best friend Selma, and his love Sirena, or if it comes from others wanting to protect and shield him.
Sienna brings her readers into a world full of Angels and Demons, Heaven and Hell, and Good and Evil. She has done this with such ease. From the introduction through to the closing climatic chapter, readers are taken on a journey of EPIC proportions. Never knowing what is going to happen with each turn of the page, kept me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire way through.
The vivid descriptions and the flawless writing style kept me trapped in another world. I wanted to join in the fights, I wanted to escape to Kade's hideaway, I wanted to visit the Uitare Plane.
The comclusion of this book will have you begging and screaming for more. I wait with baited breath (and very impatiently) for Kade's book and to see where Sienna takes this story next.
I highly recommend this books to lovers of the paranormal and epic reads.

Best Paranormal of 20017!!!! This a honest review !!! Sometimes I’m in a book funk and I only want to read contemporary romance, but this came to my mail and for only the cover of this book I was hooked. This line is not the line of Sienna usually goes but she make it so effortless to enter the world of Luxure and Sirena. The words , the feelings that she created with this masterpiece are amazing A wonderful story that only Sienna know how to deliver and had you so involve in the book. This story from start to end you don’t want to put the books down. 7 Deadly Sins and what are the best to introduce you to this with LUST!! : Luxure a warrior hidden for a millennium. Sirena an Anthropologies Professor, a demon and a human, their path came together to reunited the Cardinal Brotherhood but the Angels and the Underworld are not happy that Sirena’s is with Luxure they will have to fight to be together to stay together. Come and join us in this marvelous world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lux and Sirena make for two very compelling characters. The fight between beliefs and religion. Lux is the demon of lust. When is mate is ripped from him, he stops living. He is determined to bring chaos and destruction. When he meets Sirena, is entire world changes. He knows something is different about her but he can’t afford to remain on earth on for long time because of Lucifer. When he does discover the truth of her being, they are all thrown into a world of trying to survive. You don’t want to miss this read. Excel to writing with a storyline that will definitely make you see things differently.

This is the first book I have read from this trope and I wasn't sure I would like it. I decided to give it a go as I love Eva Hainings other works.
I'm so glad I gave it a go. This has well and truly tapped into my inner Supernatural side!
It reads very similar to the other romances I read other than the whole deadly sin thing! This means there are plenty of heart stopping moments which are found in the battle scenes.
I love how hot Luxure is from the very beginning and Sirena definitely comes into her own by the end of the book......but I will have to read on to see if this is a good thing!

Wow! Luxure - The Cardinal Brotherhood Book One by Sienna Parks is an excellent read. I quickly fell in love with this amazing new paranormal romance. An intense and compelling storyline, interesting and complex characters and the beginning groundwork of a involving and engaging world. Filled with angels, demons and other creatures the book ensnares your imagination and immerses you into the plot. A great book and a wonderful start to this new series. I can not wait to see what happens in book two. I am posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.

Lux is something else. It is full of drama and action. At times it is a tad bit slower but boy does it really pick up. Sometimes, I am not full on board with Sirena’s attitude where she thinks she can take on the world but then she redeems herself and shows how strong and caring she is. It is extremely well written and developed. The descriptions are vivid as this allows you to easily picture what is happening throughout the story. I love the chemistry and personalities of each of characters. This is a fantastic read that doesn’t disappoint.

It took me a couple chapters to get into the story, but once I did wow! The plot to this book was so well written, and kept you wondering what was going to happen next. I gave it 3 stars, wanting to give it 3.5. The plot was good, the spice was just enough. I took off the .5 as I felt it repeated a lot of stuff about the main female character. I will recommend this book to all my friends that like reading this fantasy genre, and I am looking forward to reading the next 2 books and waiting patiently for the remaining books in the series.

This book is amazing. Lux has been hiding from the underworld for years and presumed dead. He goes to earth and is drawn to Sirena, who he believes is an angel. They are not sure why their connection is so strong. 2 of his brothers find out he's alive and all hell breaks loose. Sirena finds out she's not an angel but Luxure still loves her. As they fight to stay alive. Their love and powers continue to grow. Cant wait to see what happens next.

This was my first time reading a book by this author and I must say that I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed it. The book flowed well and I loved the characters. This book was intense. Loved Lux and Sirena. I look forward to reading the next book. Good job, Sienna Parks.

"I am the deadliest of sins… but you know me as Lust."Luxure is an interesting demon that is deadly, sweet and as his name indicates- full of lust. The story is an interesting take on angels, demons, heaven and hell. Even though the (h) was a bit iritating I look forward to book 2, Kadedus.

I’m still confused. I finished it, enjoyed bits and pieces of it, and yet overall... what the hell did I read? The basic idea was pretty good but the execution was pretty terrible. So many jumps, not enough real development (seemed to go from 0-100 faster than I could blink, and it did not work at all) and just an overall sense of “is that it?”

Cannot wait for the next book in this series!
This was a very unique take on the 7 Deadly Sins with this first book being Lust's story. I enjoyed the characters and the pacing and story of the novel. My one big critique is that she kind of glossed over the sex scenes which is ironic since this is Lust's book! High emotion, high drama and a love story for the ages!

meh. I was disappointed by this but oh well... I had high hopes but it definitely didn´t reach them. started off well tho. once I hit the middle, it felt like someone pressed the rush button. everything became a jumble; too much too fast, and it stayed like that until the end. idk. it was still entertaining at least.

LOVED IT
What an amazing new story I found!!! I love how different it is, and there is so much action and fighting. There was one descriptive love scene and then it was hinting towards what they were doing. I wished it was all descriptive!!! The author made a wonderful world with amazing characters.. I have found a new author to love. Can't wait for the next one

It was not what I expected, though, I’m not sure what I expected. This was an enjoyable, easy Sunday read. Very conversational; the hot-headed and hot-bodied angels and demons feel, talk, and banter just like us! With a few paranormal additions, of course. I mean, the 7 deadly sins incarnate? That’s a great idea.

LOVE this book!!
I was hooked from the very beginning and could not put it down. The story and the characters are put together so well. The world building was so effortless to read and just made the book so enjoyable. Sirena and Lux are in my top book couples list. Starting book 2 immediately!!

April 11, 2022So the idea of deadly sins being real people is a very interesting idea, and I definitely wanted to read Luxure to see how this idea could develop. I was not disappointed, I found Lux to be a great character and I am definitely cheering on the demons. Looking forward to reading the next book in the Cardinal Brotherhood series.

I love all of the suspense in this book and while it’s a little slow at first I have a feeling it’s a set up for what’s going to happen in the rest of the series. It’s got some steamy parts that are well written as well as a lot of very real growth in character and relationships. I can’t wait to read the next book.

So many eyerolls. She is too good to be true and he is obsessed in a way that's dangerous to everyone else around them. I expected something different from the physical embodiment of lust. It's a shame that don't like the characters because I'm interested in the story being built.

I am so glad I have discovered this series. Sometimes the details bog you down. But as a whole, this story is awesome. Who knew I would be rooting for a demon? Can't wait for the next book.
