Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

River becomes fully unhinged in the best way—watching her and the Kings tear Julian apart piece by piece is darkly satisfying, and the spice hits different when everyone has something to lose.

Synopsis

I was a good girl once. But now they've unleashed the devil in me. My sister is gone. I held her in my arms while she took her last breath, and now I don't feel like I can breathe. Once, I had a list with six names on it. Now there's only one name that whispers through my mind like a siren call to my demons. Julian Maduro. He took her from me. So I'm going to take everything from him. With the Kings of Chaos by my side, I'm going to dismantle his life piece by piece. He's powerful, but we'll be stronger. He's vicious, but we'll be more cruel. He's cunning, but we'll be more devious. And when all of this is over—he'll be dead, and we'll be dancing on his ashes. Reign of Wrath is a full length mafia/gang new adult romance featuring a slightly psycho heroine and four even more psychotic men. This book contains dark themes and possible triggers, so please read at your own discretion.

At a Glance

River goes full scorched-earth in book three, channeling her grief into a vengeance arc that makes the first two books look tame. The Kings of Chaos rally around her with a feral loyalty that will wreck you. If you like your dark romance with a body count and spice scenes that blur the line between devotion and destruction, this is your book.
