Demonic Covenant #1
Filthy Secrets
WARRIOR NUNS ARE NOT BORN, BUT FORGED THROUGH BLOOD, SWEAT, AND DEATH. WHO KNEW RISING FROM THE DEAD WOULD COME WITH SO MANY RESPONSIBILITIES!
Ten years ago my parents were murdered by monsters, and I vowed vengeance. Marked as an irredeemable child, I was sent to a convent to cure me of the delusion that monsters are real. Over the years, I’ve channeled my rage into learning how to fight, and it’s earned me a brutal reputation.
As college graduation looms with no sign that monsters exist, I’m ready to put my past behind me—until a freak accident derails my plans and I’m buried alive and left for dead. The last thing I expect is to wake up surrounded by trouble in the guise of five men who are too handsome to be trusted.
But rising from the dead has consequences, and I now have powers I don’t know how to control. Not only are the monsters that haunt my nightmares real, they’re now after me—and so is the convent where I was raised. The nuns are determined to take the powers that were never meant to be mine. Unfortunately, the only way for that to happen is for me to die. To stay alive, I must trust the men who are slowly working their way into my heart…and hope the secrets they harbor don’t get me killed a second time.
A Demonic Covenant Novel: Book 1
Meet the squad: Alice, Linus, Felix, August, Clayton, and Dash.

Let’s just say that FMC is not the sharpest tool in the shed… which is reason enough for me to not continue reading!!!

Entertaining
A good read loaded with plenty of magic,shifter and demons to keep you reading. Looking forward to reading the next in this series.

I liked it, but I wanted to like it more. Some of the flow & the way the characters acted was annoying me.

Really good, lots of action
!#$@!#$@ grr..stupid cliffhanger. The characters are slowly being revealed. Their motivations, their pasts, but it isn't all at once. The dynamic between the men is not "best friends, ready to share". I REALLY like that the storyline is new. It isn't the usual trope of girl suddenly finding out she has always had powers, and the insta-love. Overall, two thumbs up.

That was really cute ☺
(I'm hoping her parents aren't actually dead&they were just turned
&that's why the vibes in the last scene were chill-ish? but if so they better have an amazing reason for abandoning her all these years....
But maybe that isn't it? so then my next guess would be they're family like grandparents or something).
The harem was adorable, the mc was top tier Bad A__
I had a grand time in this world.
That early scene where everyone voted&Auggie(too cute! I knew as soon as his POV said August with a nickname like that, that he would become a precious cinnamon roll to me which in hindsight was hilarious because my 1st impression of him was not great)said 'whatever'&Alice went back to her room was INCREDIBLY pivotal.....
A lot of lesser RH would've had him&her at odds for 800 chapters, only for him to reveal his true feelings on the 2nd to last page
But THIS ONE-
AS SOON AS SHE WENT TO HER ROOM&THAT WHOLE SCENE PLAYED OUT-- I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO BE A FUN TIME
I was cheesing&gasping&😏&was just so pleased with how great the characters were.
Definitely a 4.6 to 4.8 out of 5 stars for me.
I'm scared a book 2 may never come so I can't give it the full 5 stars but it's scratching at the door 👍

Wow!
This book started off with a Bang and the ending was just as good!! I felt there was a perfect balance of this book. Good deeds vs naughty deeds. The fmc has a take no care attitude, never wanting to let anyone close to her, fearing the loss even more than being alone. I loved how she slowly opened up to her stalkers. Saving her when she needed it most. I loved how she had such a strong faith in herself, in knowing what was right and what was wrong. She serves justice more than once in this book, and it was an incredible read. The ending didn’t kill me like most books. We all know why the Lycans took her. It’s up to Dash to explain why to the guys. She’s safe, for now. Can’t wait to read the next book!

Holy smokes!
So ummm...I think to say I loved this would be an understatement. This was mind blowing and just incredibly goid and, and well you get the point. This had an awesome, not a damsel type heroine. Big, burly, possessive, obsessive guys. Some grumpy, some total jerks, couple of crazies so you know all if our types. Honestly just grab the dang thing and I take my thank yous in chocolate or wine.

Genuinely, it was hard for me to keep up with not only the world building but also the characters. I was in a constant state of confusion.
Additionally, I didn’t feel a connection with the characters and I feel like it would have helped a lot in my ability to understand.
There was also a lack of information shared (I know a lot of times it’s for a reason) however, when your constantly getting tidbits before someone disappears, it starts to grate.

Sooooo different and so amazingly brilliant!
There are no words to describe how much I am loving this book. It is brutal, and brilliant, it is such an incredible story, the world building, using Knights Templar, magic, demons, shifters, omi gosh just not enough words. I am hopping about waiting for book 2 to come out.

Demons, dragons and magic
Great read, a bada$$ fmc thrust into a world of monsters with five guys who she's not sure she can trust. The story moves fast, well written, fab characters. Slow burn but spicy! Looking forward to book two!

Amazing!
Oh this was so good! Sgreat ride..
I loved the non stop action in this. As well as being a terrific reverse harem with really interesting characters, and even a dragon.
I really hope the next book comes out quickly, because this ending on a cliffhanger!

Convents monastery and many more
So much that's into play the holy are evil, the evil are kInd, who's breaking the veil and why are these things happening to our fmc. The guys seem cool and I keep wondering if more will be added. Cannot wait for book 2

I immediately wanted to dislike it due to the religious plotline not being a genre preference of mine, but the characters and their unique gifts eventually won me over. I only wish this was a finished series.

Wow now that was suspenseful. Why do I have a funny feeling the lycans that have her are not bad? I’m also curious if the dragon will end up being way more than he appears!

Worth it!
Fantastic take on the paranormal world. The characters are complex and intelligent. Love the angst and tension with the plot thickening. Next please.
