I received an advanced reader copy of this book.
The Saints rule the city, when the rumour of a new gang comes- they called themselves the Seven Princes of Hell- Lust, Gluttony, Pride, Envy, Sloth, Greed and Wrath.
The plot of this book was amazing. I loved the characters, I loved the story and I LOVED THE SETTING OF ALL THE CLUBS.
I loved the descriptions of all the brothers. I am in love with Lucifer- I can’t wait for his book to be out. *squeals in pride*
Although the story had amazing plot and characters, it was written third person point of view and that didn’t sit well with me. It could be because I am used to first person point of views and dual point of views. Third person point of view feels a lot like telling than showing. But that is my personal opinion. I have read some books in 3rd person with impeccable writing. This book however, had me intrigued because of the story and not because of the writing.
(I even skipped a lot of s*x scenes because I wanted to know what happened next and also because the s*x scenes were boring.) I did not care for the s*x scenes at all- and the book is named Lust so it was a little disappointing. *disappointed sigh*
I hated some of the words that were used in the s*x scenes such as- “his member”, “kneading”, “my loins” and many more that I don’t remember now because I did not pay much attention to those scenes.
Overall, it’s a 3 star for me only because I am looking forward to next books and see how this story unfolds. I am excited to see what happens next. The book may have gotten a 4 star from me if it had been written in dual point of views but well- we don’t always get what we want.

Lust (seven princes of sin book 1) by S.N. hunt
I want to start out by saying when I started this book, I did not think I was going to like it so much with how it started. I was wrong, Donna and Adams story really grabbed me. Donna is the girlfriend of the second in command of the saints which is a gang that deals with illegal drugs and guns etc. Sadly, they are not very saintly, her boyfriend beats her and does not let her leave the house.
Adam lust comes to town with his brothers and is becoming the saint's main problem, and quickly become there rivels. The Saints have a great idea of sending Donna in as a spy and trying to take out Adam. Lucky for Donna things do not go as planned. I don’t want to give too much away.
If you enjoyed gang books mixed with a little bit of spice and a little bit of cringe you will like this. I enjoyed the first one sooo much that I signed up to do a review on the next book with is about gluttony. I can't wait to see what happens.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the characters and the concept. It was well written and developed! For me it had the Right balance of angst and happy, as well as, mystery to answers to the mysteries! I loved the brothers and I am really looking forward to reading the series.
I will definitely be keeping up with this author and I will recommend this to my friends. It gave me a few good hours of escape from life!!

Lust is the first book in the Seven Princes of Sin series and tells the story of Donna and Adam.
When I read the synopsis of Lust, I was really excited to start reading this book. Lust sounded like the perfect story for me, and it was! I really enjoyed reading Lust, I’m a big fan of the Paranormal Romance genre, especially if the book is about some hot princes of hell! S.N. Hunt did an amazing job with this book and I’m so happy that I read Donna and Adam’s story!
Donna’s been through some tough stuff and when she has the opportunity to do something else, she takes it. She meets Adam, and everything changes. I loved the bond between Donna and Adam, and I couldn’t get enough of both characters. I really liked reading about their friendship/relationship, and seeing it grow into something more.
Lust was such a good, fast-paced read, and I recommend reading it if you’re a fan of Paranormal Romance. However, please check the trigger warnings before reading this book, it deals with some heavy topics. Lust was the first book I’ve read by S.N. Hunt, and I’m really looking forward to reading some of her other books. I’m also really excited for the next book in the Seven Princes of Sin series, Gluttony!

An intreging and interesting read which has a lot going on.
In short, Donna, a victim of domestic abuse, is guilt tripped into going to work for Lust (Adam)- a notorious mega rich player, who also happens to be a dark angel demon. The idea being Donna will gain Lust' s trust, and be able to kill him for Jeremy (her abuser) and John, who have promised to pay for her mum's medical fees and hospitalisation. However, things turn romantic between Donna and Lust and secret lives are exposed and Donna's loyalties change.
After the first few chapters the story develops well, and if you can stomach the acts of domestic abuse and other possible triggers, you will be rewarded with a story that has some great ideas and some waiting (I hope) to be developed in the next in the series.
There is loads going on in this book and it is rich with unusual characters, especially the 7 brothers who burst with unexplored religious overtones and as they will have to eventually face their own demons and find their missing mates. I thank Booksprout for the free copy of Lust and I look forward to reading the next in the series.

This book was great, so much raw emotion and it honestly felt like it was written from the heart. There was so many times during this read when I just wanted to hug the MC and tell her how brave and strong she was.
One thing I would change or add is the names of the person whose chapter is being read, sometimes it felt like guesswork and it took sometimes the while chapter to fully work out who I was reading, particularly the last chapter I guess I know now but there could have been more indication if whom it was that was being written. However, all the chapters flowed well and read well and it was full of the information needed and it was amazing.
I think I need me an Adam in my life because he was perfect the whole way through. Amazing book, will definitely be reading this one again.

New-to-me author S.N. Hunt kicks off the series with a provocative concept. What if... what if the line between demon and angels is a bit more blurred? This is a dark novel about a woman who has been trampled and beaten by her so-called boyfriend. I have yet to see anything good about gangs and yet our youth constantly get mixed up in gangs and either die young or regret getting involved. Donna may not be part of the gang as a member, but she is the top honcho's son's girlfriend.

Well this was a delightful surprising enjoyment read
I read this because I previously received 2 ARC books by S.N Hunt that were good
One was the 4th book in this series, so I wanted to start from the beginning
And I think I have a new Paranormal/dark writer
Let me just say that although spice is an element in this book, it is not the main focus. A thing I like recently because I love my books to have story line and character background
Spice is something extra to make the book more enjoyable
Also, please check TW
Lust is one of the seven brothers of sin and the son of Satan
This book makes demons as the morally Grey Main characters and Angels as the villians
So if you are religious, like me, and is triggered by this theme don't read
For me, I just put my Islamic background aside
Lust have been deprived of his mate and this is the book of how they are reunited
What I loved about this book is that it gives the villuans their POV and you get to read how depraved they truely are
There were a lot of unnecessary descriptions of rooms and closets and clothe which I think was put there to make the book longer
Donna is not a model for strong Female leads, but considering the traumatic life she went through, she held herself better than I expected.
I am definetly reading the other books

I love this take on the Seven Sins. I love that they are princes of hell and our finding their mates. It's refreshing to have a story that shows Demons need love too not just Angels like so many stories out there. The author embraces her darkside but keeps you enthralled with the story. I've only had an intro to the brothers and I know this is the first in the series but I cannot WAIT to get Wrath's full story.

I just loved the concept behind this series. 7 brothers associated with the deadly sins. Lust being the first book in the series. The first chapter was slow. Once Donna arrives in the penthouse…. It heats up fast!! The book read itself ! The ending is great and has a nice plot twist that makes you want to read the second book in the series!

New author for me and I can't wait to read more from this author. Well-written with well-developed characters and storyline ... fast-paced and easy to read. Definitely recommend this book.

3.5 stars. While I enjoyed this book for the most part there was just enough I didn’t care for to keep this from being rated higher.
This book was written in third person which I don’t super enjoy. I felt this writing style prevents the reader from feeling fully engaged in the story.
I also found it slightly repetitive. We read the story from two point of views which meant we were often subjected to a replay of the same situation which again, in my opinion, takes you out of the story in a way that’s distracting.
Finally the end was I felt rushed and disturbing. It gets pretty graphic and includes many triggers if you have any.

3.5 ⭐ Steam: 3/5 Strong Language: 3.5/5 Characters: 3.5/5 Plot: 4/5
Triggers: Graphic Violence, Domestic Violence, Assault, Murder, Drug Abuse, Sexual Assault, Torture, Kidnapping
This is book one in S.N. Hunt's Seven Princes of Sin series. The storyline does resolve itself as far as the two main characters are concerned but ends on a cliffhanger with the greater picture and secondary characters.
Donna is a sweet girl who makes the mistake of trusting the wrong people. Something she continues to do to her detriment. Her only way out of her own personal Hell is to accept a job that will lead to an assassination. She doesn't know if she has it in her but it's the only way to save those she loves.
Adam Lust is a business mogul and club owner by day but in the shadows, he is Asmodeus, Prince of Hell, ruler of Lust. He knows all about Donna but is intrigued by her innocent nature and the feeling that he knows her from somewhere or sometime.
The more Donna and Adam get to know one another, the harder they fall for each other. Thus putting themselves in the crosshairs of a battle between Heaven and Hell.
The story was a little slow for me. The most interesting character was Lucifer and unfortunately, he's only in a small portion of the book. There is a lot of graphic violence especially towards women. That doesn't bother me by itself. I enjoy dark romances. This seemed excessive and gratuitous. Just my opinion.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because the writing was good. Excellent potential.

I received a request from Ms. Hunt to read the first book in her new paranormal romance series Seven Princes of Sin and am delighted to say I look forward to learning about the rest of the sexy sin brothers.
Donna's life is a trainwreck. Her father abandons her at a young age, her mother is a junky, and her angry abusive boyfriend is the leader of the Saints gang. When opportunity gives her a chance to get out from under her boyfriend's control and to save her mother from the sketchy institution he has placed her in, she agrees to infiltrate and kill one of the new club owners who is mooching off their clients. But who is seducing who?
Adam Lust is the owner of the Lust Club, one of seven clubs he and his brothers (princes from Hell) are building in the city. The brothers' mission is to swoop into cities full of drugs and violence and generate a cash flow by collecting souls from the sinful. Once the economy gets better, the brothers are off to their next sinful place leaving the condemned souls to be saved by The Choir, a heavenly group that has their own mission to save souls. When a beautiful and broken mortal walks into Adam's club to sell her soul, he makes her his personal assistant and housemaid though he has no need for one. His inner beast needs to protect her; a woman he knows he has met before.
Donna has been beaten and degraded by her boyfriend, Jeremy. So much so, she has lost her confidence and self-respect. She is not thrilled with her mission to seduce and kill Adam, but her mother's life is at stake and she can't lose the only family she has. Until Adam shows Donna his compassion, kindness, and need to protect her. Adam gives her the control back she needs to become strong again. Adam's demon beast inside him is telling him to fiercely protect her from the others, but who are the others and why does he feel so possessive of this one mortal? Sorry, can't tell you that, but it's an interesting plot twist for not only Adam but his brothers as well. Adam and Donna do have a happy ending, but there is a cliffhanger at the end that opens a whole can of worms for Donna.
The reader is introduced to all the Princes of Sin. Leo Gluttony is a very thin man with a voracious appetite for all-you-can-eat buffets. Stan Wrath is the large broody protective brother with a resting bitch face. Aedin Envy is the young hip peacekeeping brother. Linnaeus Sloth is the sleepy brother with the bass voice that lulls you to sleep. Corvus Greed is the money guy who is constantly scrolling through his phone for good financial opportunities. And, of course, Lucifer Pride the frightening oldest brother who vows to discover all of Donna's secrets. I love how close they are as siblings and how they accept Donna into their immortal fold.
The story has it all, action, love, sex, vengeance, and twists and turns that will keep you captivated throughout.
Thank you to Ms. Hunt for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

Donna is in a bad relationship, but once Adam sees her he wants to take care of her. She's been sent to spy on him and he knows it. He didn't have any weaknesses until he meets her.

Loved it! Love the mix of gods and humans. The spice was *chefs kiss* awesome! Such a great beginning to the story. The next two books are out so not much of a wait from the cliff hanger. Can't wait to see what else happens!

This book is definitely different than what I am use to reading, but I don’t mean that in a bad way! Trying new tropes just opens my horizons to new and amazing pieces that authors put out there. Before I get into this book, I do want to point out (as always 😉) to please read the triggers. You may be into some dark and naughty 😈 things like me but don’t like to see hear or see anything regarding religious stuff because everyone has there own preferences and differences. I get it!! So please check the triggers.🖤
Now…..😈….Lust is different from any other paranormal book I have read and that has to do with the religious part. I don’t mind it, I just always preferred a specific trope until I decided to stop being a picky bihhh and venture off into the world of EVERYTHING!! Well, I am glad I did because this book intrigued me in ways that I didn’t think was possible. Usually the smut and heat draw my attention, but with this book, it was the storyline. Adam whom is the Master of Lust has a beast locked inside him as do the other six Princes of Sin. His beast and him are pulled to specific person and well…you have to read the rest! 😉😈😂 I’m sorry, I just hate giving away spoilers. That’s what reading the book is for! But I will say this. This book doesn’t just end here, as you know, there are Seven Sins and Seven Princes. Wink Wink, get what I’m saying. Lol I’m mean, I know. 😈
Anyways, getting back to the book. I very much enjoyed this book and I love that there was enough detail for the imagination. I like how there was enough information left out, so that you were caught in its web and want to beg and continue for the next book. (Yes, that is how I felt. 🤷🏻♀️ I get stuck in books.) Again, please check out the triggers before reading. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Happy Reading! 😈

received from author
Living in a bad part of the town, Donna is not a stranger to the drugs and violence that comes with it.
Donna’s life was never easy. The father left when she was young and it left a huge mark on her, especially because she lost her mother in way too. Mother couldn’t cope with loss and gave into drugs, leaving Donna to raise herself.
Now, as an adult, she is trapped in an extremely abusive relationship with the leader of the local branch of a gang called Saints. She is closed from the world, beaten, and exploited daily.
Then the new players move in, Princes of Sin, that have a reputation of taking out other gangs.
Each Prince has a different place in the theme of the sin they represent. First opened is the Lust.
The Saints decide to send in the spy, to infiltrate and kill the owner, Adam. And Donna seems like the easiest choice. She doesn’t get a choice though, she has to do as she is told. But this job might just be the best opportunity for an escape.
Adam takes her in and gives her a job as a housekeeper. And what was the biggest thing, treat her with respect. Being is safe, gave her a starting point, a chance to heal and find what love is supposed to be like.
But Saints are not backing down and she is still in danger.
There are many more secrets that slowly come forth. The ending was very unexpected. While the story is a romance, there is so much more to it. It deals with heavy topics of abuse, exploitation, and drug use. Those topics are not sugar-coated, so read trigger warnings before. But there is also hope, the big picture behind it all, and love (and a happy ending (and a very just one for one of the bad guys :) )).
It’s the kind of story that stays with you, makes a mark on your heart, and changes you a bit.
Living in a bad part of the town, Donna is not a stranger to the drugs and violence that comes with it.
Donna’s life was never easy. The father left when she was young and it left a huge mark on her, especially because she lost her mother in way too. Mother couldn’t cope with loss and gave into drugs, leaving Donna to raise herself.
Now, as an adult, she is trapped in an extremely abusive relationship with the leader of the local branch of a gang called Saints. She is closed from the world, beaten, and exploited daily.
Then the new players move in, Princes of Sin, that have a reputation of taking out other gangs.
Each Prince has a different place in the theme of the sin they represent. First opened is the Lust.
The Saints decide to send in the spy, to infiltrate and kill the owner, Adam. And Donna seems like the easiest choice. She doesn’t get a choice though, she has to do as she is told. But this job might just be the best opportunity for an escape.
Adam takes her in and gives her a job as a housekeeper. And what was the biggest thing, treat her with respect. Being is safe, gave her a starting point, a chance to heal and find what love is supposed to be like.
But Saints are not backing down and she is still in danger.

Overall I like this book. Now that I’ve finished it I think there are some very minor issues for the most part so I would recommend with the note that you should take the warning seriously, because there are a lot of issues in this book that may be triggering, and you need to be sure you are aware of that.
For being a book called Lust, it takes a while for anything steamy to happen, but that’s not a bad thing. It gives the reader a chance to get to know the characters better along the way.
5 ⭐️s= Perfect story, exciting, engrossing, well developed complex characters, solid plot with few to no holes, descriptive environments and place settings, great mystery elements, realistic dialogue, believable reactions and behaviors, loved this story so much I’d buy it.
4 ⭐️s= Great story, highly entertaining and enjoyable, exciting storyline, well developed characters and settings, a few discrepancies but nothing that can’t be overlooked. Believable actions and reactions, realistic dialogue, a book I would consider buying.
3 ⭐️s= Good but not great story, noticeable discrepancies, grammatical and or spelling errors, undeveloped characters or unbelievable behaviors but still readable. Nothing majorly wrong with the story, just not interesting enough for me to continue. Would not buy the book.
2 ⭐️s= Not offended by the story, but not interested enough to finish. Unbelievable characters, poor writing, many mistakes, big holes or discrepancies, many spelling or grammatical errors, characters not believable, unlikeable or TSTL.
1 ⭐️= Offensive, extremely poor writing, horrible characters, victimization, gaslighting, blatant abuse, unnecessary violence, child endangerment, or any other highly objectionable behaviors by Main characters. Would never buy this book, and do not recommend it to anyone.

LUST is the first book in the Seven Princes of Sin series and boy, is this going to be a good one!
Now, before I go any further, please take note of the Trigger Warnings. This is a dark story with some graphic descriptions.
This is Donna and Adam's story. She is sent in to kill him, being as he and his brothers pose a threat to The Saints. However, Adam feels something for her from the beginning, even if he doesn't know what it is. He also recognises her from the surveillance photos he has. He lets her into his life, just to see what her plan is. What he didn't plan on was falling for her though.
I love all of these brothers! Strong, protective, and they value women -- the exact opposite of what Donna has lived with up until now. Each brother is different, which means I can't wait for their stories now!
I love how even though our boys are sons of hell, the real evil comes in the form of humans or those who are supposed to be 'good'.
There were a couple of editing errors that have slipped through the net, but nothing too bad and easy enough to ignore.
If you can deal with dark stories then I suggest you give this one a go. A fantastic start to the series that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending. Just be careful with those trigger warnings.

I absolutely adored this book. The concept of the Seven Princes is incredibly interesting and I really enjoyed the paranormal lore involved. It creates a very complex and in-depth backdrop to a very spicy and sweet love story.
Adam is absolutely fantastic and so hot. I definitely pictured someone like Lucifer from the show or Massimo from 365 in appearance. He was also so sweet while still being ruthless and protective.
Donna is a badass! Her strength is remarkable and I admire that immensely. Excited to continue this series.

I received an arc for an honest review. Here it is.
I really liked this book. It had a few downs but overall, I’m intrigued with the characters and story and ready to move on to the next in the series. The premise is really cool and sucks you in. Even though one resolution is concluded in the book, the continuing conflict that weaves throughout other books is set up. I liked both main characters and the chemistry was spicy between them. The story is fresh and exciting.
Here is what would’ve made it a bit begged for me:
-I wish Donna fessed up sooner. Also, I think she should’ve caught onto her employment being a sham—she was never like an employee. Maybe she could’ve told the truth from the beginning and Adam offered to help her? That would’ve made more sense to me and fit better with their relationship.
-I wish we saw more of Adam’s possessiveness when it comes to Donna. We did in regards to Jeremy, but not within any other part of Lust. Maybe she wanders off through the brothel or has a run in with Suga, something before the one at the end. Idk—it just seemed like they hung out in the penthouse a lot and we were told about it but not really shown as much.
I’m excited to read the rest in the series. This one definitely sucked me in and made me want more.
Triggers: abuse, rape, drugs —it’s a dark story but I mean, we are dealing with the princes of hell so what else would a reader expect?

I found this book to be such an intriguing and adrenaline fueled whirlwind that sucked me into its perfect centre.
I hated the fear and pain that Donna went through at the hands of someone who should have protected her.
Involved with a local gang can never end well and she is used to eliminate the newest competition.
Little do they know that this man is not your average human.
Adam Lust is just one Prince of hell who takes energy from those nearest.
When he sees Donna, his beast is determined to claim her and is only soothed by the thought of their connection.
Donna might be trapped in a situation that slowly rights itself but the danger can't be over until the truth is known.
This story made it possible for me to literally glue the kindle to my hand and forget about pesky sleep.
I was so captured by the emotion that both main characters felt.
I had a feeling this poor woman couldn't hurt the only person who had showed her affection in years.
This had a real depth and the serious themes made this heart wrenching but incredibly satisfying as it went on.
I am so intrigued by what will come next and how each story will feature a demon who will be changed by their soul mates.

Lust is an excellent start to SN Hunt's new Seven Princes of Sin series. Hunt introduces us to Adam Lust and his brothers, seven princes from the underworld who are setting up shop and collecting souls via their lucrative members only clubs. Their business attracts the attention of a local gang, the Saints. With the Princes cutting into their profits, the Saints want war. Caught in the middle is Donna, girlfriend of the leader of the Saints. who has been sent in to infiltrate the club. From the first, Adam is more than attracted and he begins to change. Will Donna be his reckoning or his redemption?
The premise is unique, different and dark. I received an Advanced Readers Copy that came with several trigger warnings and even them I still found some of the material difficult to wade though, both due to subject matter and some syntax errors. Yet, wade through I did, in one sitting. I look forward to reading the rest of the series to see how it plays out.

I really enjoyed this book. It feels very weird to say that a dark romance featuring one of the princes of Hell was cute, but it really was. I absolutely love Adam- he’s wonderful. And so freaking sweet!! I also really like that this book had so much time dedicated to just the two of them in their routine with no one else- in a lot of books it always seems like the couple is constantly having to deal with other people and they’re constantly having to go run around with all these people so you don’t get all those cute little quiet happy moments that make a good couple in real life. You get some of that here.
I love the healing process that we got to see you through this book and I absolutely love the spice. It did feel a little bit quick at times, but I don’t think it detracted from the story- rather it was that I enjoyed Adam, and the Hell family, and Donna so much that I wanted more time with them.
Luckily this is to be a series so I think I’ll be getting that time. The blend between wholesome family bonding moments and absolute world ending violence is perfect. I literally cannot wait to read more!

If you like paranormal romances this is a must read. I absolutely love the concept of the Seven Deadly Sins personified into the Princes of Hell. It is very well written and a page turner. All 7 brothers and the concept of their 7 brides is very interesting and I am fully invested.
This book is about Adam Lust aka Asmodeus. The Princes have moved into a city to open their clubs, but the gang that controls the city The Saints aren't happy. Donna, the "girlfriend" of the Saints leader is caught in the middle and forced to attempt to kill Adam. As it should, lover prevails but probably not in the most standard way,
I will warn that there are a lot of things that Donna has to suffer and go through that are rough. I appreciate that the author included various trigger warnings for readers. I thankfully do not have any triggers, and still felt like crying when reading a lot of her struggles.
I cannot wait for the rest of the books. Of course Lucifer is becoming a clear favorite of mine and I will patiently impatiently wait for his book!

I really enjoyed this book. It's one of the few books I have found myself skimming the spicy sections in order to progress the story. I love the utilization of the 7 deadly sins, I was waiting to see if there would be a Dante's Inferno reference as well, but maybe in the future.....
I can not wait to see how the rest of the series plays out and how the author is able to keep the storyline fresh for 6 more stories given the situation.
My ONLY critique was during the sex scenes, when engaging in anal, the author referred to the anus as the "rear hole" or "bottom hole". It just seemed awkward. Most books will just say butthole or ass and it flows with the erotic setting. Using "rear" or "bottom" hole felt like throwing on the breaks and slipping back to high school when discussing sex was taboo and uncomfortable. My husband and I have actually been using it as a joke all day.
Overall though, I'm invested in this series and can't wait to read more.
There is heavy domestic violence in this book.

I had the privilege of receiving an ARC, and I'm providing this review voluntarily.
This book presents a captivating concept that immediately drew me in. The utilization of the Seven Deadly Sins embodied as seven alluring yet dangerous gang bosses added an exhilarating layer to the narrative.
The protagonist, Donna, finds herself ensnared in the clutches of domestic violence and manipulation by her boyfriend, who happens to be one of the city's gang bosses under the notorious Saints. When a mysterious new gang emerges, offering Donna freedom in exchange for the assassination of Adam Lust, her life takes a dramatic turn. Despite her harrowing past, Donna seizes the opportunity, only to have her world upended upon meeting Adam.
As the first installment of a seven-part saga, "Lust" not only delves into the burgeoning friendship and romance between Adam and Donna but also unveils a richly crafted world teeming with secrets and mysteries.
Overall, I found "Lust" to be an enjoyable read, offering a pleasant escape into the realm of paranormal romance. I would certainly recommend it to aficionados of the genre.

Do you like a good paranormal romance?? Then read this, you will not be disappointed. It’s a fast-paced, action-packed story. The story is well woven with an abusive relationship, hidden identities, demons, soul mates, betrayal, and a lot of spice. A handsome face attracts everyone’s attention but what caught his attention was total game.
Reading about the Prince of Hell was so full of smiles, I never thought about the twist coming will be of so many emotions. The name of the book defines the role of ADAM(a prince of hell), he looks after the sin of lust. Donna is the main girl and her character progresses well and shows so much strength as the story progresses. By the end of the book, she becomes a feisty one. The trajectory of the story is well defined and paced.
I hope we will get a book for every brother, as GoodReads suggests, and each story would this much marvellous. Finding their beloved and preparing for a war coming will be all the drama to watch and the spice added, is thrilling.
