Everything changed the night he betrayed me, and now, the game has entered a new level.Galen did me a favor, reminding me the only person I can count on is myself, and I’m more determined than ever to avenge my father’s death and avoid the destiny Sinner has mapped out for me.Saint is used to calling the shots, but there are new rules, my rules, and if he wants me in his life, and in his bed, … and in his bed, he’ll toe the line. They all will, because I can’t pull this off alone, and they owe me.
Sinner thinks he’s in control, but forcing me into initiation plays right into my hands. War has come to Lowell as rival gangs battle The Sainthood for ultimate power, and I enjoy rebelling from the inside, placing more obstacles in Sinner’s path while I exact my revenge.
But I’m not some innocent thirteen-year-old anymore—I have blood on my hands and lethal enemies on my tail.
I’m playing a dangerous game, especially where my heart is concerned, but there’s no turning back. I haven’t come this far to walk away empty-handed, and the more secrets we uncover, the more we realize how far-reaching the betrayal and corruption extend, and there’s no choice anymore.
The Sainthood must be taken down, and we’re the only ones who can do it.
This is book two of three and it’s not a standalone read. Due to dark themes and content, this #whychoose romance is only recommended to readers aged eighteen and older.

Well… what a ride!
The story just falls off the page.
Lo and the boys are back but there’s a new era. Harlow has suffered betrayal yet again but she’s come out fighting.
Saint… Less character development from him so I expect him to be front and Center in reign as the story concludes, July 2020 (how are we supposed to wait that long!!!).
Caz- sweet devoted Caz. Again not a huge shift for him but maybe he gets more a voice in the next book.
Theo-I really warmed to Theo in this book. He got to share his pain and is beginning to find himself.
Galen- I think this book focused on his redemption. Redemption in Harlows eyes. The boys have their brotherhood so underneath trust was never fully broken with them. Harlow on the other hand would’ve easily gutted Galen. His story is weaved with lies and suffering, one that Harlow understands and that helps her forgiveness. I still don’t 100% trust him so look forward to the conclusion and see if he had anything to do with the heart stopping end. If any make the ultimate sacrifice for Harlow it would be Galen. His betrayal was monstrous and I can see him taking a bullet for her.
I’ve read all Siobhan’s books. The Kennedy brothers and their girls are sweet, vanilla and enjoyable. Sainthood and. The rydeville elite are darker, mature and twisted. I received an advanced reader copy of this story and throughly enjoyed.
The second in the The Sainthood series by Siobhan Davis is becoming a new favorite of mine with these four brooding, sexy men and Harlow to tame all of them. This one have to say has a lot of heat, passion, angst and most of all they have one thing in common when they fall they fall hard. I loved that in this part we see Harlow taking back control of her life even though the men think they have her in control. Siobhan Davis really showed us a lot in this one not just Harlow but we see more of the men and their storyline evened out. Have to say what I liked the most was seeing Galen’s story and Saint. We see why Galen hates Harlow so much and man it is nothing what I expected which just shows how good Siobhan Davis when it comes to making her readers wanting more. Loved it and man once again cannot wait to see how this series will end yet don’t want it to. Loved it.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
I do not know how Siobhan does it, but every time I think I have found my favorite series, or book, she comes out with a new one. I loved Resurrection, did not think it could get better, than she does. How does she do this?
Lo and the boys are back. If you remember someone betrayed her, so she is not so likely to trust easily. Which can you really blame her. I am not going to get into too much detail in case you have not read book one yet. Which if you have not, I highly suggest you read this series in order. That being said, I was very much looking forward to Rebellion and Ms. Davis did not disappoint.
If you like a good story, ones with bad a@@ females, alpha males, great twisty plots and just a dang good read. Definitely pick up a Siobhan Davis book, doesn’t matter which one, you will love it. She will become one of your go to authors in no time.
Where do I begin? Told from multiple POVs the author let us in the guys head and we got to experience how strong their bond was with Harlow. My heart melted everytime they (especially Galen, Theo and Lo) opened-up to each other and showed us their vulnerable side. Don’t worry, there are still plenty of steam and out of this world sex that most of you will appreciate.
The plot. Y’all it was heavy and absolutely well-thought. The secrets and the twists kept piling up. Sinner is one of my favourite characters (next to grandpa Diesel). Now you think ‘Is she nuts? He’s the bad guy!’ I’m nuts. But hello, Evil with a sick mind that ruins everyone’s life. I couldn’t help but appreciate the author’s ability to create someone like him.
The beginning was a little slower and not much happened but the last 30 % took my breath away. Suspense. Action. Revelations. And an ending in Siobhan Davis style that leaves you dying for Reign.
Hotter? More action packed and twist filled? Mayybeee. Read it and tell me!
4.5*
Again Siobhan didn’t disappoint with this one. True to form it contains angst, twists, drama and lots of hotness! Didn’t think I could love these characters anymore. Bring on book 3……..
This is the 2nd past of this awesome series and continues straight on from when #1 ended with Harlow being kidnapped. Lo knows that the only person she can trust is herself, but what will happen when the others find out what Galen has done? No spoilers: this is a phenomenal series and is a must read, you will not be disappointed. This is an awesome story which this gifted author had done a brilliant job in penning. This story is a dark, intense, raw, gritty, and emotional roller coaster, as well as being filled with twists, betrayal, secrets, suspense, loyalty, heartbreak, and love. I could not wait to devour this tantalizing tale which had me totally captivated throughout this riveting page turner. That cliffy…. OMG I am so ready for the 3rd novel!
This is definitely not a soft romance read and will leave you hanging. Action packed and intricate storyline will always leave you guessing who is on whose team and who can be trusted. A heavy dose of backstory and double crossing with an explosive ending.
Rebellion picks up right where Resurrection left off and wow, what a read! This was one wild ride! A rollercoaster of a story with thrills, steam and sizzle, and breathtaking suspense.
Siobhan Davis delivers pulse pounding action and intrigue throughout this story. You learn more about certain characters and there is plenty of mystery and edge of your seat action.
Rebellion is so freaking good with its elements of suspense, darkness, unsuspected revelations, steamy moments as well as the emotional aspects. I can’t wait for the conclusion of the series, Reign, which no doubt will be epic!!!

I voluntarily read an ARC of this book in exchange for honest review.
Note: Can’t be read as stand alone. It’s a trilogy. Book 1 & 2 ends with Cliff-hanger. May contain spoilers from Book1 – Resurrection .
Book 1 Review: https://wordpress.com/post/meander23.wordpress.com/1689
This book picks up exactly from the book 1 cliffhanger. Rebellion started up with action and intensity right off the bat and didn’t quit until the very end. Harlow is Kickass. I love her! Throughout this book she continues to be the tough bitch that she is and owns it. For Galan’s betrayal, Harlow will make all 4 guys work for her trust. She doesn’t make it easy for them. As blurb says, she literally makes Saint frustrated, Galan Growl, seduce Caz and keeping Theo at arm’s length.
There are so many factors at play. The gang can’t catch a break. In every step there was a new problem and they face head on. In this book we get to know more about all the boys background. We get to see more of Diesel, Lo’s hell of a trainer, he’s a huge a part of her life and important in her plans. They are still trying to understand the actual motive and plan Sinner has for Lo.
The romance in this book is super steamy and it’s definitely a reverse harem. Harlow is intimate with each of her boyfriends at separate times and sometimes with more than one of them at a time. They do show a lot of love and affection & support for each other. The relationship between Lo and the boys grow to incredible strength.
Rebellion has an addictive storyline—fast-paced, gritty, super sexy and freaking wild. Diesel was wooow super. Bryant was an unexpected free deal. Lets see what he has in store for the gang.
Overall, this book had so much action, suspense and mystery. It’s thrilling, passionate with sizzling chemistry. I’m addicted to this world that Siobhan’s created and I can’t wait for book three in the series.

This is the second book in The Sainthood – Boys of Lowell High series, and the continuation of Harlow’s story. This was another great book in this series, this was well written, the characters have amazing chemistry, and I was glued to the pages until the end. This was emotional, raw, gritty, intense, twisted, suspenseful, mysterious, dramatic, and a must read. I can’t wait for book three.
YESSSSS!!! This was exactly what I needed out of these Harlow & her Saints !
I’m so gone for these guys! I’m not a huge RH fan so up until Resurrection I really only loved one other RH and it just happened to be written by Siobhan Davis. Of course, when I saw this series I knew I needed it. Resurrection was filled with dangerous and sexy guys plus it had a badass heroine…so it was no surprise that I loved it. After the way it ended I wasn’t quite sure how Siobhan would bring back my love for certain characters; but she accomplished it. I absolutely LOVED every minute of this book!
Harlow is still hands down one of my favorite heroines ever written and possibly my number 1 written by Siobhan. Her strength and badassery is unmatched and I’ve only read a handful of other heroines who can match it. This is one thing that sucked me into this series from the start. Harlow grabbed me from page 1, normally it’s one of the guys who will grab me before any female characters will but in this series it was all Harlow!
In book 1 I could feel Harlow’s connection to Saint, but I felt it was missing between her and the other guys. Now I’m just thinking hers and Saint’s connection was deeper because of what they went through. Her connection to the other guys grew immensely in this book and I LOVED IT SO MUCH! The depth to what she feels for each one of these guys is what makes me love RH. Sure having 3-4 guys who want to worship your body might feel amazing but I’d think when you form a deep connection with them it would make those feelings that much more intense and addictive!
I love the glimpses into each character that we get in this book, it helps shine light on why everyone is the way they are. The dual POVs is one of my favorite parts of this book too!
The suspense in this one is a big part of what kept me hooked, I need to know what’s going on. Siobhan Davis is amazing at keeping us hooked throughout the book and then giving us just enough at the end to make us want more. We shall call her the Cliffhanger Queen because the woman is amazing at writing the types of book endings that creates a need for more.
I’m absolutely DYING to see what SIobhan Davis has in store for us for Reign. I just KNOW it will be EPIC!
* I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
I couldn’t even imagine this series getting better, because the first book in this series was amazing, but the author blew my mind and made book 2 even more intense and amazing! I am sooo looking forward to reading the next book that I can’t stand stand it!! This series is a must read!!
Rebellion picks up right in the middle of the chaos that Resurrection left off us hanging with. The book seemed to be a little slower paced than the first, diving into more detail and providing answers to major questions that were lingering in book 1.
I still enjoy Lo as a fierce heroine but I didn’t care for her as much in this book. Her relationship with the guys seemed to be the primary focus of this read instead of uncovering details of her past and taking down the Sainthood. I like each of the 3 guys she’s tied to, but a lot of the sexual scenes felt forced or thrown in for the wow factor. Too much focus was put on Lo getting with each guy numerous times, causing jealousy and tension in the group and flaunting their polyamory relationship in front of others.
For being Galen’s book, not nearly as much time was spent in his world as I’d hoped. A lot of questions were answered but I felt like there was so much more that could have been elaborated on. His hatred for Lo ran so deep and it seemed to be brushed over and forgiven very quickly. Her response to his betrayal also seemed very juvenile. I’d always appreciated Lo’s maturity and strength but this novel showed how weak she can be, emotionally. Don’t get me wrong, her physical perseverance was tested and absolutely validated!
I loved Diesel’s presence in Rebellion! He truly has Harlow’s best interest at heart and he proved that he wasn’t going to let the young lads run the show anymore. I like the mystery he brings to the table and how the guys may not like him, but respect him.
I’m still left unsure of who to trust and how the author plans to wrap up this extremely convoluted story line but I can’t wait to find out!
This was just an okay read for me. It was quick and easy and had a lot of drama and heat. I just didn’t love it. 3.5 stars
I totally thought I was ready for this wild ride but definitely wasn’t and you won’t be either. The Sainthood is back with a vengeance. Lots of action, sexy times, and lots of roller coaster moments. Be prepared for that cliffy, aahh! This one will leave your jaw hanging open. There is so much revealed in this book it makes your head spin. Already re-reading it! I’m sure I rushed through it too fast the first time so need to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I just love Harlow so much! She is such a bada$$ the only thing I wish there was more details of was Harlow’s initiation tasks to know how she beat all the guys and more details on what happened the full week she was gone. I absolutely loved the revelation of Harlow and Theo’s relationship. I’m so glad they had gotten their moment to overcome the heartache they both felt. The relationships in the book definitely evolve. I’m so happy Harlow was not quick to forgive or forget what Galen had done. So much character development in this story and you really get all the feels. And oh Saintly and Caz how you make me swoon. Harlow is such a lucky girl! I am dying to know the the Epic finale in Reign. Siobahn you have a brilliant mind. I never get enough of any of your stories and characters. You truely are one of a kind. The Sainthood is definitely my new favorite. You will never be disappointed in Siobahn Davis. The ride is not over yet!
OMG!!!!! Siobhan Davis you did it again!!!! This was so well written and can honestly say that I am COMPLETELY satisfied with how the relationships went. How Harlow was true to who she is. How The relationships have grown!!! How did you manage to make them Hotter? How justice was served, but forgiveness was given. Now to wait until July which makes me a little sad. But so EXCITED and just Can’t wait!!
“Revenge takes time. And I’m sowing the seeds”
Lo is an absolute badass, and I have such a girl crush!
Siobhan slayed it yet again, no surprise there.
Rebellion will have you on the edge of your seat speed reading from start to finish.
Captivating, action packed all the way through.
You get the answers to the questions you’ve been dying for in Resurrection, but Rebellion will leave you with so many more!
Rebellion ends on an EPIC cliffy, so please refrain from throwing your devices.
This is a great follow up to the first book. Plot twist and turns a dollar coaster would be jealous of. Lo is one bad HBIC, and she brings it the whole book. Once more, Siobhan has left us with a major cliffhanger! Can’t wait to jump that cliff with the third book. Hands down fantastic! I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
Siobhan Davis – The Sainthood Bk 2 – Rebellion – Reviewed 4/10/20 – Read 4/5-6/20
When the tables turn, Harlow takes the rains and lets everyone know!!!
After being turned over to her ex-boyfriend by Galen Lennox to be killed, Darrow took her to a deserted apartment building. Knowing Darrow as she did, she was sure that she could talk or bargain her way out of the situation. Lo decided to take her time and let things play out. When he least expected it, Lo withdrew her blade from her boot and buried it in Darrow’s leg. Now, she was the one in charge but decided that she still needed Darrow to complete her task for revenge. She told him that she would continue to feed him information, but would be much more careful what it was. His position would be protected by the fact that he had been disabled with the knife.
Returning to Saint was her only choice if she planned on finishing her long-deserved revenge on Sinner and the whole Sainthood! It seems none of the boys were aware of what Galen had done, and when they found out they went ballistic. Galen had done what he thought was best because he did not know the whole story or the truth about Harlow. He felt she was tearing the group apart because they all cared about her too much. The boys never knew what hit them when she returned and told them that things would be different from now on. After the traitorous act of Galen, she was not sure on what basis she stood with the others but she would not let them stop her or hurt her again. Nor could she at this point forgive Galen!
What did I like? In the past, I had read another series by Siobhan and loved it. All of the reviews are posted here on my site. When they contacted me again about a new series, I knew that it would be incredible. I was not wrong. Book one, I thought was awesome, but this one surpasses it. Harlow is one amazing character, and the storyline is very realistic. Somehow, you can picture a situation like this happening and playing out just as it is written. It’s a little gritty, but then so is life!
What will you like? Intense action, incredibly emotional, graphic but realistic, extraordinary and believable storyline, mind-blowing mystery, fantastic characters. The voice of the author is moving with tons of details and descriptions. You can feel the sweat on the forehead and the heat of the weather. The research that has been done on the storyline feels like it is a true story from life itself. I have to warn that this is another cliffhanger, but the next book is already ready for preorder so it won’t be long in waiting for the conclusion. The last warning I have is to hold on to your hats as the book explodes across your mind. Incredible!!!!

Noooo. I can’t handle this ending. Where is the next book – quickly, like right now!! OMG. Harlow and her four guys are in deep doggy poo in this one. Sinner has plans for Harlow. And they are not good. Siobhan, how on earth can you expect me to wait for the next one???
Holy crap!! My mind is still trying to wrap around that cliffhanger. I was just getting into my feels and boom
I didn’t think I would feel the way I do but I love them all. I never forgive and I found myself forgiving and feeling for Galen. I don’t know how you do it but I hate deep and love deeply with all of these characters. My emotions are all over the place and I honestly don’t like it. It’s hard for books to do that to me. I hope that makes Reign epic!! I need this to all end and I can’t wait to find out how!
