Saving Setora #3
Sedition
"The softest woman requires the hardest men to survive. Dark, gritty, and perfectly filthy--modern MC meets Mad Max in this amazing RH tale.” ~Addison Cain, USA Today bestselling author
If home is dangerous, what lies beyond it may be far worse.
Follow the continuing adventures of Setora and her men in SEDITION, Book Three of the wildly popular Saving Setora series.
From Book 1:
It all began when the road warriors found me outside Hell’s Burning, lost and dehydrated. When the bikers took me into The Compound, I thought I was saved.
Especially when, as a Violet—a rare genetic anomaly prized above all—I’m taken in and raised by one of the wealthiest men in the world. Educated and groomed by the best teachers money could buy, I mistakenly thought he had a great future planned for me, one in which I’d be cared for and cherished.
I was wrong.
For centuries, women have been sold as slaves. In my 18th year, my benefactor reveals a truth that shatters my world. I’m to be put on display before the wealthiest of society at one of the biggest auctions this world has ever seen…as a slave.
But that night at the auction, something goes wrong. I am stolen by members of the infamous Dark Legion, a road warrior crew feared the world over. Torn from the only world I have ever known, now I have not one master, but four.
I shouldn’t want these dangerous, deadly men with their leather cuts and their growling bikes, but the deeper my captors draw me into their dark and twisted world, the more I crave what they do to me. They stole me from a powerful man who’ll stop at nothing to get me back. If I don’t find a way to escape soon, my new masters might just steal my heart.
***Sedition is Book Three of the Saving Setora series, a dark, dystopian Reverse Harem romance with biker tones. There is no cheating, and the final book ends with an HEA for Setora and her four men. This full length novel contains triggering elements and four twisted heroes who know how to own a woman right.

Review from a re-read - on my first read, this is the book that made me go, "holy shit, why doesn't this series get more hype?!" People are out there hyping up extremely mid RH series. Meanwhile, those are hamburgers where this series is a steak. But, I don't see chat about this one often.
(So, this book is the point where, if you were unsure about the first 2 books, but you continued reading, if you're STILL not feeling this series after this book, then I'd say it's not for you).
This is the book where the MC leaves the Grotto to go on a bike trip, and things go sideways. In between the danger, Setora still gets a lot of relationship moments with each guy. So, this book has an impressive variety, in terms of mixing quiet moments, steam, and action scenes.
I love how each of her 4 men has a different dynamic with her. On my first read, I disliked Sheriff for most of this series. But on re-reads, I like his scenes, and even the way that his relationship with Setora is always “1 step forward, 1 step back.” I feel conflicted about him, but that seems intentional. And sometimes I like feeling that way about a hero in dark reads.
It would be easy to see Setora as a weak heroine, since she’s submissive and gentle. But, this book shows that when a soft heroine is characterized well, she DOESN’T have to be weak. Setora is sweet and obedient, yes - but, she stands by her convictions. She's fine with disobeying when she thinks it’s the right thing to do. (And even when it’s kind of a dumb move, her reasoning is understandable. She’s flawed, but likeable). I also love that when Sheriff asks her to commit to him on a deeper level, she turns him down, because she recognizes that she gives him everything, and he refuses to open up to her in return. She’s strong for not caving to him. She doesn’t fight back or seek revenge when her men are cruel, but, she’s also not a doormat. She’s got some emotional strength.
Also, in this book, Setora’s female friendships pick up, too. It’s funny how this series – which is set in a world where women are men’s property! – does a better job at including female friendships than many other RH series (including ones that are sweeter and nicer).
The worldbuilding is vivid and interesting– it was in the first 2 books, too. But since there’s a change of setting as they journey into the wider world, it really picks up, here. Like, we already knew that most women in this world are slaves, but it’s interesting to get clarity that marriage is actually illegal. (And, we find out in a moment when it comes up naturally. So, it doesn’t feel like an info-dump). We also find out that motorcycles run on solar powered batteries that have charging stations. The scene where the guy’s riding outfits are described is great, too - like the metal shoulder-plates and half-mask that Sheriff wears. It's cinematic, like a (spicier) version of “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
In other RHs with action-filled plots, I’m used to action scenes that feel repetitive, and battles that feel bland. THIS series have some of the most inventive action sequences. And that starts jumping out in this book. From the attack, to the scene where Setora is crawling among treetops to stay unseen in an enemy camp, to the gladiator fight – the action scenes have a lot of variety to them. It’s not just a bunch of rinse-and-repeat battles that feel same-y.
Upon-re read, it’s fun to see hints of where the plot is going – spoilers for future books – like, I never noticed before how it's mentioned that
You should NOT read this series if you can’t read dubcon, master/slave stuff, degradation, and D/s. You also shouldn’t read it if you need a tough type of heroine, or heroes who grovel after treating her harshly. This series will piss you off if you go in expecting those things.
My theory on why this series isn’t as popular as it should be (when it's so fucking good) is that it’s got elements that aren’t trendy now – since soft heroines and a lack of grovel have fallen out of fashion. (And, I get it! 99% of the time, I usually prefer an ass-kicking heroine, and heroes who grovel!) But, the way this story is done works for it. If you CAN hack it, and you want an RH that balances an interesting plot with good world building, characters, and steam, you’re missing out if you haven’t read this.

This series is a lot of give and take. We get answers and we get more questions. But that is part of what makes it so good and keeps me reading. Setora and her men are on a new path, and while I miss the dirtiness of the first book, there is a progression in this one that is natural. We see lots of action in Sedition, and feels a little more faster paced. The guys are about the same for me. Although finding out more about Hawk, lessens my irritation with him somewhat. Steel I believe is the best one out of the group now. Pretty Boy is protective, but not where Steel is at. You will understand once you read this. And then there is Sheriff. Sometimes I think I really like is jerkiness but sometimes I just want to slap him. Still haven't decided. I am really enjoying this series, and yes it does end on a cliffhanger, but this series is so worth it.

I still like the series. I'm still following along. I would leave a more in depth review like my others but I had a very long day today, and I am so exhausted.
I still don't see what other people were seeing. If that makes sense.
For the time, the era, it seems like an appropriate book. Or story. And honestly if we heroin of the story doesn't have a problem with the way she's being treated, who is it anybody else's business to judge?
And I think another thing that people are forgetting, it is a story. It's not real life. I understand that in some countries is kind of treatment actually happens, and I believe that once upon a time it happened to all women, but it doesn't happen at this current moment. It's just a story.

Once again, a great book! ALSO DISCLAIMER: IF YOU DO NOT LIKE DARK ROMANCE THEN THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU! the world that Setora lives in is unique and not for everyone. That being said, I loved this continuing journey for Setora. There are some new interesting discoveries and some additional growth in some relationships. And CLIFFHANGER at the end omg. I can’t wait for the next one!

Spoilers ahead.
This book almost had four stars because the beginning was so good. Even though not knowing whose POV it was for sure, it was good. The suspense was good, the action, the drama. All of it was fantastic.
Ugh. Once again, we start off with a POV that isn’t Setora and we have no idea who it is until several paragraphs in, obviously we can assume it’s Hawk because of the Yantu information, but we don’t know 100% which is annoying. Is it really that difficult to label the chapters? Jesus Christ. It’s easy to assume that the pictures of the violets are for Setora’s POV, but what I’m assuming is a motorcycle part with wings attached, doesn’t make it obvious that we’re getting Hawk’s POV.
The ongoing interactions between Setora and Sheriff are still overly emotional, back and forth, and annoying. She’s constantly whining and complaining, her feelings are always hurt, yet she never learns her lesson.
Sheriff is cruel and immature. I wish the emotional wishy washy shit would just be done with. Either she’s just a slave or she’s not.
The back and forth is ruining the enjoyment of this book.
She’s seriously the dumbest FMC I’ve come across. She wants to beg Sheriff not to sleep with her after he “put her in her place” but in the same sentence, she’s disappointed that he doesn’t want to scree her. Then the following sentence, she’s hating him?!
Jesus Christ.
Everything between Sheriff and Setora really brought this book down. Once again, I understand that our “heroes” are not exactly good people.
HOWEVER, you can’t tell someone that you want them to be more than a slave to you, demand that they give themselves to you completely, then turn around and constantly remind said person that they are nothing but a slave, leashing Setora, seriously? After humiliating her and “reminding her of her place” was gross and she’s thoroughly pathetic for accepting that shit then turning around and “loving” that idiot.

4 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
In this installment the characters leave the grotto and we get to see how terrible this world truly is. I don't know when it happened but I have fallen in love with the men of the Dark Legion MC, and my favorite is Steel, the uncomplicated sexy giant.
These books are my new obsession, I can't stop thinking about these characters and I'm fascinated by this post apocalyptic world. If you haven't read them already, I highly recommend this series if you like your Reverse Harem a little dark and gritty.

Salvation: Saving Setora Book 7 by Raven Dark and Petra J. Knox
At last book 7 is here. We have followed Setora and her Four through some exciting and dangerous adventures that have culminated to this point. We have watched a group of rough and tumble MCs and turned them into protective love-struck men who are willing to go to the ends of the earth for her. Setora has grown in many ways as well she was shy and unsure but has quickly risen to be important to everyone.
This latest installment picks up where book 6 left off with Damien dead and Sheriff blind. I will not sugar coat the amount of emotion that is in this book. The heartache of Sheriff’s blindness was palpable throughout the pages and the despair felt struck a nerve with this reader. There were tears, laughter and excitement while reading and there were a couple of times, I didn’t think things were going to end well.
This book is also different from the others in the series. I would say it is more about self-discovery. The events unfold and they all must find an inner strength to move on. Hawk, Sheriff, Pretty Boy and Steel discover their what they didn’t even know they wanted. These discoveries drive them and their decisions throughout the book. Little did they know that is exactly what was needed to be successful in the end.
If you are familiar with this series, you know each book finishes with a HEA but there were always questions left unanswered. Well I will tell you they get wrapped in this book and boy are the answers nothing that I expected. Once everything is explained it was kind of an a-ha moment and wow I didn’t see that coming. Not going to get any spoilers from this reader just know that this is a must read and be prepared for the roller coaster ride.

4.5 Stars
I re-read the first two books in this series before diving into this newly released third book and it really amped up my excitement - and I was not disappointed. This third book in the series is full of action and we see The Four and Setora in some new situations and locations. Being the third book in the series a lot more of the emotion between Setora and the men has come to the fore and while I miss the kind of dirty/degradation of the first book just a little I felt like this was a natural progression that was done really well. (I want to make specific comments here so bad about how much I loved when this guy did this, or that guy said this, but I don't want to spoil it!)
The overarching theme of the characters struggling against what has always been normal in their world (women are slaves/property to men with no rights) and what they feel/think may be right is so very interesting to me. The way that Setora has challenged things and subtly changed things from the beginning of the series to what goes on this book is just....mwah! And the heroes - Maker, don't ask me who my favorite is because I love them all!
This book has less editing errors than the first two, and it does end on a cliffhanger but the books have seemed to come out relatively quickly and I am happy to wait as there are just too few dark reverse harem books out there and those are two of my favorite romance subgenres. (And for my scale, this is more of a dark gray romance than a full on dark romance, but if someone is coming to the party from a strictly reverse harem background they might find this too dark for their tastes.)

Heavenly Setora and the Disturbing Dregs of Society
Well, well, well, we meet again sweet Setora. And what fresh hell do you have for me today? Will I drown in your torment or will I be saved by your will alone? Once again I took a trip with Setora while expanding the darkest levels of my psyche. Whenever I began a new chapter in Setora's ever expanding world, I find a new love in the harsh lens of her reality. I simultaneously rejoiced in her deepening connections to the four while despairing of ever seeing an end to the tumultuous landscape of this realm. My emotions continue to churn, I loathe that I love, and my heart hurts yet again. I kicked my couch, threw a slipper at the wall, and clenched my teeth so hard, I feel for sure I will end up with dentures by the end of this series. This addition to the story took us out of the Grotto, brought us back a tortured warrior, and hearts were gained and lost to the four, to the crew and to this dark world. Of course, Setora continues to stir the blood of her men, but she also inspires fire in the veins for justice. God, it's dramatic and climactic, makes me moan and makes me scream in frustration. Once again, I'm on the edge, and all Raven and Petra have to do is lightly blow in my direction, and I'll go over. Each time Setora expanded her mind, and tested her bindings, a new obstacle was thrust into her path. Once again, the future is uncertain and the darkness could lift or all will be ruin and destruction. I'm done, a wreck, a shell of myself, all thanks to Ms. Dark and Ms. Knox. I'm not fighting these chains though. Setora gifted me freedom, but you, you keep me shackled to your words.

This series is addicting and it's a total PITA that I devoured it quick ugh
I don't even know where to start, but I have to make this quick. This is by far, the lowest point for Setora. At least in my opinion. Through the two previous books, though tiny and warm and kind she may be, she's also cool composed and calm-minded. Albeit, the Dregs is def enough to push someone over the edge. They're the scum of this dystopian world which says a lot. So back to my point with Setora, on one hand, it's so her to deviate the plan just to save practically everyone and even offer herself up when it came down to it. Brave or stupid? Either of the two, in the end, everything did become worse for them all. But, on the other hand, they gained a group of Allies from the people they rescued.
I think this is such a flawlessly flawed characterization to Setora. She has formed friendships with unlikely women like Diamond and Emmerald (Emmy), did brave-stupid things and crave feelings like trust and respect from the four men.
Which brings me to my only one frustration upon reading this book. Sheriff. I would have thought that after Setora's almost death, the Sheriff would have not let anyone and anything come between him and Setora. Ugh. It's kind of funny when Setora volunteered to do the rescuing all the meanwhile arguing about just being a slave and all that bros before hos jazz. Really funny. And frustrating. At least Hawk fessed up and is trying to mend bridges. It was really cute and swoony for Steel to read to Setora though.
My last point. So even in a world where men are chauvinistic and everything else is just trade or a property, there are still rules set. There is still this twisted sense of honor among them all. All which these Dregs dude weren't too keen on obeying. They're the lowest and they're the worst. I really am not sad Hawk and the guys destroyed them.
PS Where tf is PB? I felt like I barely remembered him at all omg don't kill me

So back to my point with Setora, on one hand, it's so her to deviate the plan just to save practically everyone and even offer herself up when it came down to it. Brave or stupid? Either of the two, in the end, everything did become worse for them all. But, on the other hand, they gained a group of Allies from the people they rescued.
I think this is such a flawlessly flawed characterization to Setora. She has formed friendships with unlikely women like Diamond and Emmerald (Emmy), did brave-stupid things and crave feelings like trust and respect from the four men.
Which brings me to my only one frustration upon reading this book. Sheriff. I would have thought that after Setora's almost death, the Sheriff would have not let anyone and anything come between him and Setora. Ugh. It's kind of funny when Setora volunteered to do the rescuing all the meanwhile arguing about just being a slave and all that bros before hos jazz. Really funny. And frustrating. At least Hawk fessed up and is trying to mend bridges. It was really cute and swoony for Steel to read to Setora though.
My last point. So even in a world where men are chauvinistic and everything else is just trade or a property, there are still rules set. There is still this twisted sense of honor among them all. All which these Dregs dude weren't too keen on obeying. They're the lowest and they're the worst. I really am not sad Hawk and the guys destroyed them.
PS Where tf is PB? I felt like I barely remembered him at all omg don't kill me

Setora has the biggest heart (which I love about her) but boy does it get her into so much trouble. She is starting to mature into a woman that will hopefully become more than this society's expectation of a woman only being a man's or in this case men's chattel. Her eyes are opened a few times in this one for the possibilities that could exist. I like that the storyline doesn't rush her growth but is gradually progressing that way. As for the men in her life we get more on Hawk's past which helps smooth some of my irritation from the last book about his treatment of Setora. Steel kind of stole my heart in this one. After you read it maybe you will understand why. Pretty Boy is protective of Setora but hasn't yet shown me that he is moving beyond the point of considering Setora as just the four's property. Sheriff is still the hardest one for me to like. I think for me personally he doesn't show enough emotion or understanding for Setora. I guess as the storyline progresses in the following books I might change my mind. There are a few interesting side characters that I hope will have more of their story shared in upcoming books . I enjoy reading this series although I admit at times I could quite happily(lol) kill off the male characters when they treat Setora in a manner I think is too harsh. I will eagerly be looking for the next book.

Ummmmm, wow. I'm pretty sure that's the only word that I can use to describe this book. Just, wow. The authors really know how to keep on our toes and how to make us want to curse their name at the end of the book. Or maybe that's just me, but I definitely wanted to curse some names when I was done with this.
Steel, Sherriff, Pretty Boy, and Hawk are all waiting for Setora to get better. Well, Hawk is sort of off in the distance because he is feeling guilty and PB is really mad at him. But none of them can leave Setora alone with no one around her. She means too much to them. She also means a lot to the other people in the grotto, more than she knows. Cherry comes to sit with her and we find out more about her. The other slaves are also there too, as well as Ace.
I think Setora has become the heart of the grotto. She's making things change just be existing, some of the changes that are happening are purposeful, but a lot of them just kind of radiate from her. I think that's pretty awesome myself.
The Four and Setora are off on a journey, not a safe one, but not one that anyone expected would be as dangerous as it was. There are all kinds of good things and terrible things that happen.
I can't wait to read the next book. I wasn't ready for this one to end, and I think my heart may not start until I can read the next one. It's that intense.

I have been putting this review off for a few weeks now, just because I did not have the right words for it. I still don't know what exactly to say here, but I guess stalling time is over.
I always move into this books with extreme caution, because you never really know what it will throw at you. And, seeing how this is the third book, by now I already expect it to make me uncomfortable and conflicted about what I'm reading. Not that it makes things easier, but at least I know it's coming.
The story makes me look at things from a slightly different perspective. Like, on the one hand, it makes me super angry and just rubs me the wrong way not only how the guys are treating Setora at times, but also how she absolutely accepts and expects to be treated that way. But on the other hand, I also understand that this is the way they were all brought up and probably the only way they know how to behave (hell, they didn't even know what "marriage" was).
Doesn't change the fact that I wish things were different, but also understand it all a little better. I still have this love/hate relationship with the story and the characters. I want to both look away from what is happening and to keep reading, and I'm becoming addicted to this feeling.
And I absolutely, one hundred percent, want to know more.

It's been awhile since the last one and it took me a moment to remember what happened in book two.
But I quickly got caught up to speed and I was devouring this book just as fast as the previous ones.
In this book we see Setora returning to the land of the living after sacrificing herself to save Sheriff.
We see her becoming more sure of her place within The Four and even pushing boundaries for a role higher than her station allows.
She is changing things slowly and it's fun to see how everyone reacts.
Obviously, if you've made it this far into the series, you know it is a darker romance.
However, in this particular book, we see a softer side to some of the guys.
We see them almost using kid gloves with Setora, wanting to show her how much she means to them.
Now don't misread this and think there are not kinky moments, because there are.
And the ending...holy geezus.
I mean, we saw a little foreshadowing about it happening, but you were still hoping it wouldn't.
I need the next book in this series stat.
Cliffhangers always leave me jonesing for more.
I highly recommend, not only this book, but this series in general.
It is a fantastic read and sucks you in.

This is the third instalment in the saving series and after the first 2 books I didn’t think these two Authors could top them but OH MAKER they just did 😱 This book was just so brilliantly incredible!!!
Sedition takes us mainly away from the Grotto and into other zones and towns, also we learn about other gangs and how they work and treat people.
We find more out about Hawk (our Yantu warrior)and his past, and our (Giant Gladiator) Steele is really a big softie who can put up an amazing fight.
We also got to know a few more guys from the legion and now I have a new Favorite (Doc).
I absolutely love Setora, every book she gets stronger and stronger. Soon she’s gonna be running that Grotto, haha
I’m finding it really hard to write this review has I feel it’s so not worthy of this book, the description is so wonderfully written, both Authors should be very proud of there work, and this is coming from a person who hates Decapitation’s, so you can imagine how hard it was for me to read lol.
Full of emotion,excitement, sex, fighting, gore and anticipation I think this story would make a great tv series/film.
Well done to both Authors on keeping us gripped and getting us excited for book 4 after that cliffhanger 😱😱 I cant wait, so please hurry.

Another amazing read with the third book in the Saving Setora series!
This book was so intense and emotional, and I loved it! I absolutely love the world building in this series and at times it feels like I’m right there in the grotto or on the back of one of our guy’s bikes.
I really love how much growth Setora has underwent since the beginning of the series. She didn’t even trust her masters when we started this ride, and now she feels something much more, but do they actually love her back? The Four have made shocking discoveries about our Violet, and we see how they, and Setora herself, deal with the aftermath. Dangerous secrets come to light and if they don’t get themselves killed, will our characters be able to pick up the pieces?
And the ending... such a cliffhanger. I felt like it was foreshadowed but I still was had hope it wouldn’t happen. Can’t wait for the next book! I need more!!

Sedition has a distinctly ‘Mad Max’ feel to the plot. Gangs of marauding bikers, known as Dregs, are killing whole populations and stealing women and men. A devastating encounter with one such group is just one of the many challenges Setora and her four Dark Legion men (Steel, Hawk, Pretty Boy and Sheriff) face as they travel across the country to an important summit.
Their reason for attending the summit is to discover exactly who has been threatening their way of life, and stealing their precious gems. Though they hope, along the way, to also solve the mystery behind Setora’s luminous, blue blood and the strange psychic connection she seems to have with other true Violets.
Brace yourselves though, not all of the Dark Legion brothers make it back safely 😭. Furthermore, the bounds of slavehood continue to prove hard for Setora to break, as she struggles against her indifferent treatment at the hands of Sheriff.
This series is picking up a pace and I’m buckled in for the ride!

Emotions run high in book three of the Saving Setora series .
We find out a lot of secrets .Secrets that can break our beloved characters apart or worse get them killed....it's intense.
The world building these authors have dreamed up . I can actually picture in my mind. That's how descriptive some of the scenes are ..they put you right there beside Setora amidst the MC chaos.
I like that Setora is evolving ever so slowly within the story. She is now in love with each of her men , but do they love her in return ?
Or is she still just their slave to toy with .
She's becoming bolder to find out .Questioning her masters .That doesn't always mean they are ready to give her answers or freedoms.
That's where the push and pull of lust, possession and heartbreak turns this action packed Dark chapter into an exciting suspense filled ride .
Craving more after that Cliffhanger !!

Best one yet
Every time I talk about this series there is always some worry about consent.
But I love this series because if you’re a big reader, you understand that the darkness, slavery, blurred consent and everything in between is their world. This is what dark fantasy is and Saving Setora is probably the best dark fiction I’ve read.
This book has been my favorite so far. The writing has really matured, the plot is awesome and you can see change on the horizon.
It is still steamy and sexy but the bonds that the people of the Grotto have with each other are much more understandable in this book.
I love Setora, she’s courageous but also knows her place as a woman in their world; though i think she’s dying to change that.
I can’t wait for the next book.
I need to see everyone will be alright.
Fantastic series.

I absolutely love the continuation of Setora's story! The story line is absolutely gripping, and when the book ended I was not ready to let the characters go. I cannot wait for the next book, so that I can once again get transported to Setora's world.
I definitely feel like this book helped me understand Hawk a little better. Their relationship has left me with a lot of questions, and I have hope that things will work out for them.
Sheriff....oh, he drives me crazy. One second I feel like I understand where he's coming from, and the next it feels like he's lost so much ground with me.
That ending though...dear god, such a cliffhanger. I really want to know how things all turn out.

Another great book
I am really enjoying this series. It is a dark series & some people may find some things in it offensive, such as the way all women are slaves & are used by the men for servants & pleasure. However, I really like the attentiveness of Setoras masters & how even though she is their "slave" they still admit they have feelings for her & that she is more than just a slave. I am really curious to learn the secrets of the Violets & I really want things to be settled for Setora & Sheriff. I am anxiously awaiting the next book & hoping Steel is going to be ok. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who enjoys reverse harems & books with darker themes.

Sedition was a good continuation of the Dark Legions quest to find the gem thiefs. While the MC didn’t get much closer to finding the culprit who has bamboozled this legendary MC gang, the readers do find out about more about Setora and her violet nature. I like that the story is adding in those details and there is more world building, but I wanted to see the story progress further along. With all the events that have taken place if feels like months should have passed by, but since the start of the series it’s really only been weeks. I’m not sure if the authors intend to write a long serial or if they plan to wrap things up in book 4. I’m certainly hooked, but I want more answers!

In love! Again!
This book is by far one of my favorite! I absolutely love Setora and her men! Sheriff even though he can be a pain, Hawk can be so stubborn it drives me crazy, Pretty Boy is so protective of Setora and puts his relationship with the others aside for her, and Steel, he’s my fav, he’s perfect. We get more of other characters in the book, and see how the dynamic at the Grotto is changing. This whole book stressed me out, but I loved every bit of it. I need the next book so bad! Petra and Raven are an amazing pair!

This story is driving me crazy in a good way honestly when you think everything is gonna be ok , Setora has found Four men who are not only dangerous but so sexy , that she’s safe from her original master . Thinks take a dangerous turn of events will Setora be able to give her heart to these men , will she ever be safe , will these men be able to give her something that’s so forbidden as love ???
The ending had me wanting to scream, shout and call the authors every name under the sun , I didn’t see it coming just amazing

not sure if this series is worth reading
The abuse is getting really old. It sucked in book 1, it really sucked in book 2, and now we’re on book 3 and it’s still just as bad. As sweet and innocent as Setora is, I’m sick-to-death of her being the ultimate doormat. This is obnoxious and pathetic. If book 4 doesn’t turn this story around quick, then I’m out. Reading a depressing/abusive af book over and over again drains the soul. I feel wiped reading this. There have been zero silver linings in 3 books so far.

This book is one more in a series that blows me away. The characters are so complex, the world is a mess of violence and hope, and our main girl is a powerhouse of resilience, femininity, and strength. Sedition has Setora really coming into her own. It's full of twists and turns and plenty of steam. The ending had me on pins and needles waiting for the next installment. It was a wonderful story with a dark and twisted spin, but full of love and almost an innocence underneath it all.

Wow what an emotional Rollercoaster?! That ending was not expected?!
Each character are now coming to their own and i loved how we finally saw the side to Hawk we have all been waiting for?!
I am falling more in love with Setoras men more and more each time that i read this book!
I am eagerly awaiting book 4 on the edge of my seat?!
These authors are doing a fantastic job of this series and are keeping us all on our toes!!!

Oh my heart
Dystopian. Dark. MC. 4 Alpha Men. M/S. Slave heroine. After Setora wakes from her coma, the guys and a few other must travel for a conference meet. Lets just say nothing goes as planned. This book has a lot of focus on her and her guys relationship, growth of Setora's self, and A LOT of being activated at Sheirf. Also they may be the queens of excellent cliffhangers.
