What’s this book about? (I’m trying to give as little spoilers as possible)
This is a reverse harem dark romance novel. Enemies to lovers. Bully themes. Suitable for 18+.
This is my first Siobhan Davis read, preparing for the final book of this trilogy! What a read this was. It starts out with a bang; quite literally. Resurrection is a fast-paced, steamy and entertaining story of a girl that’s a survivor. Harlow doesn’t back down. She spits feminist facts. She owns her sexuality and I stan that so hard. She was the jewel of this story. I rooted for her to get to the bottom of the mystery that lurked around in the pages. Her friend group’s interactions were adorable. Her counterparts are mischievous bad boys with big reputations amongst other things… I loved their chemistry with Harlow. It was all steamy AF. The recurring drama was incredibly well situated and it left me wanting for more! I can’t wait to pick up the next books and find out what exactly is going on with these characters.
I recommend this to lovers of the dark romance type of steam, reverse harem and strong heroines that preach them facts on boys that need a lil trim (off their egos amongst other things *cough* *cough*).

I freaking loved it!! Siobhan never ceases to amaze me! The book is chalked full of action, suspense, and the perfect amount of Male testosterone. I could not put it down, but I would expect nothing less from Siobhan!
Harlow, our heroine, is a snarky, little spitfire, whom I absolutley adore! She’s strong, beautiful, smart and never backs down from a challenge. The Sainthood alpha’s, Saint, Galen, Theo and Caz, are hot, mysterious and highly stubborn! But they can turn up the heat in minutes!
Resurrection is a fast paced story, with intriguing characters and an amazing plot. The ending blew my mind and left me salivating for more! Now, that is how a great author will draw you back! I can not wait for the next book in the series! Bring on Spring!!!
Oh, holy hell what has author Siobhan Davis unleashed with this series? Another group of cruel bullies that want to take over the local school. And one girl that will take them all on.
I loved everything about the Rydeville High series but this one has taken my heart and mind to another level.
Harlow Westbrook has lost her dad and goes looking for her boyfriend but what she finds doesn’t surprise her. When she walks away from him, she goes into a room and locks the door. Turning around she is met with four sets of eyes. Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo are part of the Sainthood and they want to control the town of Lowell starting with the local high school. Harlow has heard about these four men, that they share and she is all for it because these four men are gorgeous.
But what she doesn’t know about her time with them has put her in more danger than she could imagine. And things are changing at home for her too. She is also peacing things together about her kidnapping when she was 13 and who done it. And she is beginning to think that her dad’s death wasn’t an accident.
While reading this one you will try to figure out who is good or bad but let me tell you that you will not know even when the last word is written. and that cliffhanger is a killer. I need book 2 NOW, please.
If you like a story filled with angst and killer sex appeal, hot alpha males, and a heroine worthy of a good fight, then this one is for you. So sit back and enjoy this one, just don’t throw your kindle because you will need it to read book 2.

WOW!!! I just finished this book and I feel like I was hit by a damn train! Just when I think that Siobhan can’t top her last book, she blows us COMPLETELY out of the water! This book is AMAZING! Man if you love the Rydeville High Elite series, you are going to LOSE YOUR MINDS over this! I loved the characters, storyline and the writing. I have to say that Harlow is probably my favorite heroine of all time. She is strong, sassy, brave, smart, and still human. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. I cannot wait for the rest of this series!
Phenomenal!!!
What can I say about Resurrection? A breathtaking introduction to a dangerous world of crime and secrets. A RH that had me hooked from page one. Every time I think that a Siobhan Davis’s book is the best I have read of hers, she comes and proves that I have seen nothing yet! I am in a book hangover after this and I am really trying hard to form the right words to describe it.
Harlow Westbrook is one of the strongest, most resilient, “I don’t give a…damn what you think of me” female characters I have ever read about. With an attitude that matches an Alpha hero (and all that it entails) she turned out to be one of my favorite female characters to date. She is a fierce fighter and she never backs down. As for the boys…oh, the boys…I am in LOVE. Lucky Harlow!!! I don’t know who is my favorite, Saint or Caz. I also loved Theo, although the jury is still out on Galen. Things are strained (so strained that I actually want to strangle him right now) but I still have faith.
I don’t want to reveal a lot about the plot. But I will say that it is full of twists, dark and well hidden secrets, jaw dropping moments, a villain that you will want to kill yourselves slowly and painfully and so much hotness that I am surprised my kindle is still intact and hasn’t gone out in flames. . I can’t wait for the next book, because that cliffhanger…yeah…(I am losing my mind right now!)
All in all, it is a must, five-star read and I totally recommend it, hands down. You will miss out if you don’t grab it right away.

Holy cliff hanger Siobhan.
I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of Resurrection, book one of Siobhan’s new series (The Sainthood – boys of Lowell high) and I can honestly say I was left wanting more.
Harlow is a strong independent girl who has experienced more obstacles in her 18 years then anyone would experience in there whole life. On the day of her fathers death enter the boys of Sainthood who push all the boundaries of Harlows life.
Not only are they smoking hot that every girls wants to be with them, they are also part of one of the most dangerous gangs in town.
These characters will get under your skin and keep you guessing every time you turn the page.
I’m already impatiently waiting for book 2 to cure this book hang over.

Another amazing book form the brilliant mind of Siobhan Davies.
WHAT THE ACTUAL WHAT?!!! I voluntarily received an ARC of this book for my honest review and OH HOLY WHAT??!!!I’m not sure I can speak. Move over Rydeville Elite, The Sainthood are the new bad asses in town. From the very first page I was in a book coma and couldn’t stop til it was over. Saint, Caz, Galen, and Theo are dirty talkin bad boy alpha’s. They’re arrogant, conceited, sexy as f**k, and at times evil, and at times unbelievably sweet and considerate. Neo is Satan incarnate and when he sets his sights on something will not stop til he gets it. Harlow’s character is tough but vulnerable she’s a great heroine with a little bit of a soft side but when things need to get done she can kick some serious ass. She’s drop dead gorgeous and built like a centerfold model with a sexual appetite as strong as her will. In many ways she’s exactly what The Saints need to shake things up. At times my heart was breaking for her. I can’t quite figure out her mother Giana’s agenda just yet. I can’t tell if she’s just that naive about Neo’s power or if she knows exactly and is waiting for her chance. This story was so well thought out and executed. Siobhan, YOU BLOW MY MIND! Siobhan has such an easy writing style I thoroughly enjoy and never boring. Just when you start to relax and slow your breathing back to normal the hurricane starts twirling again til you’re bouncing in your seat or pacing the floor chewing your fingernails off or taking ibuprofen for your tension headache. I LOVED EVERY FREAKIN MINUTE OF IT! I can’t even tell you how many times I almost peed my pants. The sex scenes are set your crotch on fire smokin HOT! WOOH! These characters are amazing. I’m in love with three men. Yes, only three because I don’t like grumpy Galen. I’m sorry, I just don’t know what to say without giving something away. There is constantly something going on. Shocking twists and turns and pull your heartstring moments around every corner. Excitement is exploding off every page. At times I was cracking up over the bickering banter back and forth between Harlow and the guys. The cliffhanger ending will leave you screaming for more. I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE! PHENOMENAL JOB SIOBHAN!

Oh My God! I love This Book!
There are four hot tattooed muscular kings of the school, one is named Theo Smith and is a former boyfriend who took the virginity of the heroine Harlow Westbrook, one is named Caz Evans and is especially charming and good looking, one is named Galen Lennox and for some reason hates Harlow, but still wants her, and then there is the leader, Saint Lennox who Harlow feels a connection to and is the hottest of them all.
On the day her father dies Harlow just wants t get drunk and have sex to feel something other than sorrow so she goes to a party at the home of Galen Lennox looking for her boyfriend Darrow who is in a rival gang but happens to be attending the same party. Lo finds him in bed with another girl so she ends up having sex with the four guys from the Sainthood gang. They share women and only have sex with women one time and then never again and Lo is fine with that.
However, she doesn’t know that they have a video camera in the room and they end up sending the video to her ex boyfriend who sends it to everyone. She ends up kicked out of her fancy private school for her senior year and going to public school with those same four guys who then claim her as under their protection. They also end up moving in with her when Saints father becomes engaged to Harlows mother.
Things get complicated from there since they are in a dangerous gang and the guy engaged to Harlow’s mother is the president of that gang. There is also some back story about Harlow being kidnapped and tortured when she was younger and she is trying to solve the murder of her father as well. It is all very intriguing and suspenseful. Meanwhile she is falling for the guys.
The story is awesome and it ends in a huge cliffhanger and I can’t wait for the next book! I don’t want to say more and give anything away but I loved every minute of it and want to read more!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Siobhan Davis had me on the edge of my seat with this book. Phenomenal writing that sucks you in and doesn’t let go. These characters had so much depth. I’m anxiously waiting for the next book!
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
Wow just wow!! This book is totally fantastic and I am at a loss for words when it comes to describing the wild ride it was. Our female lead has been training for years to be able to take down the man and crew that kidnapped her as a teen. This gets more complicated after her father dies and mom shacks up with the leader who is not nice to say the least. Four hot guys are part of the junior members and she just happened to have hooked up with them but can they be trusted is the question. The wild ride is dark and twisted yet fascinating all the same making it impossible to put down. Total must read!! I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
Resurrection: A Dark High School Romance (The Sainthood – Boys of Lowell High Book 1) by Siobhan Davis is a wonderful story I have read. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series that I have loved reading and can not wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this story to everyone.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Hail to the Queen! Siobhan Davis is the queen of bully romances and her latest series is proof. Resurrection is the first book in the Sainthood series, and it was mind blowing. Four gorgeous tatted up and pierced boy’s rule with a heavy hand but they have opposition in the form of a kick-ass girl named Harlow. This book starts out at 100 mph and doesn’t slow down, it is dirty, violent and action packed. To say that it is a good read is an understatement. I could NOT put this book down and now I am waiting on pins and needles for the second book, Rebellion to come out. Leaving off on one heck of a cliff-hanger Resurrection just ended too soon. I love this book, the story line and all the characters. 5 stars for Resurrection by Siobhan Davis.
Harlow Westbrook is trained and waiting to get her revenge, and the death of her beloved father just adds fuel to her fire. The rival gangs in her town and the surrounding areas are out for blood and willing to kill each other and Harlow doesn’t want to be on the sidelines she wants to be the one to pull the trigger. Saint Lennox his cousin Galen and their two best friends Theo and Caz are bound to their organization and will do whatever it takes to protect it, even if it means hurting the one girl that seems to keep getting in their way. Harlow has a connection to each of the guys but in a different way and she’s willing to use it to secure her place and get intel. The boys have brought Harlow back to life, but it might be short lived if the Sainthood has anything to say about it. Unfortunately for Harlow, Sinner has the final say involving the gang and he hates her and everything she represents so Harlow’s Resurrection might be on borrowed time.
**4.5 Stars**
I went into Resurrection completely blind and was so glad that I did, because holy smokes, what a ride!!! This book is dark, twisted, suspensful and left me constantly wondering what in the world was going on and who was actually on whose side.
At the heart of the story is Harlow, who is trying to uncover the details of her father’s death, while at the same time trying to survive amidst her new home life with her mother and her new family situation which has brought her much closer in touch with the Sainthood than she would like. The story is full of manipulation, lies, betrayal and cover ups, and it isn’t always clear where loyalties may lie, but these characters certainly know how to play the game.
Siobhan Davis has created a very intricate story line with a complex set of characters and gang climate that is dark, dangerous and will have the reader constantly wondering where the story is going to go. Resurrection does end with a cliffhanger so hang on for a wild ride and brace yourself to be wowed. I cannot wait to see what happens with Harlow, and what other secrets will come to light.
Siobhan Davis has created a world in Resurrection filled with dysfunction and carnality where the story is gripping, raw, and heartpounding!
This is Siobhan’s latest dark, bully romance that opens with a flaming, wild ride that continues with a high octane drive that doesn’t stop.
Harlow “Lo” walks a delicate edge between gang factions. When we first meet her she’s been dating Darrow, a member from a rival gang, however, she’s recently lost her father and her mission is to now blow up the way the gang’s run and take out anyone who gets in her way. She soon turns to the Sainthood hold on because…wow…things get hot and intense, but she never deviates from her mission.
There are lots of reasons involved in her mission and you need to experience every – WHOA! OMG! WTF! moment as to why she’s ruthless, unphased and basically heartless in her pursuit, but I’ll basically say in her plan, no one is untouchable, no one is a friend, and there is no one she can trust.
Lo is a take no prisoners character. I love that she doesn’t bow down to society’s standards or let shame take over for slanders and slurs. She takes charge of her own destiny not waiting around for a knight to rescue her.
This is the first in a three book series and does end in a cliffhanger, but this is going to be quite a series!
“ ’ ,” , . “’ .”
Who, what, wait hold on!
I need a cold shower and a cigarette or two! Siobhan knows sexy and she proves it once again with Resurrection. This story starts (literally the prologue) bleeding sexiness. But what makes it a 5 star read is the grit, the suspense, the complete bada$sness of the book, the way Siobhan has master the ability to allow the reader to feel every emotion the the characters are feeling. With perfect timing on reveals of key events to ripping you apart and slowly putting you back together to rip you apart a couple of more times.
Warning! That cliffhanger has me crawling at the walls needing answers!
“Resurrection” is a romantic, suspenseful reverse harem novel that is wickedly dirty. If you do not read books about reverse harems this isn’t for you but if you can get down and dirty with this group of characters come join the fun. Harlow is on a mission to figure out what happened to her father and get vengeance for what happened to her years ago. A few months after her father’s death she must attend a new school. Everything was supposed to go smoothly but the Sainthood are there, and they are laying claim. Saint, Caz, Galen and Theo try to make Harlow’s life miserable but that is not an easy task. When they move into her it’s as if all of them are playing a game of cat and mouse. We do not know who cat or mouse is, because all we know is that Harlow tries to stay one step ahead of them all the time. Once they stop fighting one another and share secrets new bonds start to build among them. New betrayals take place among them once the secrets are shared and things that you didn’t think would happen might just happen. This story has kept me guessing the whole time. It is a good story but some of the scenes were a little over dramatic. I love Saint and Caz, but Theo and Galen seem a little suspect. Harlow may be this strong independent woman, but she just did not do it for me. I could not connect with her at all, but I loved that she didn’t back down. She is a force to be reckoned with and I pity the men that cross her. This book ends on a cliffhanger so beware you might get a little upset because you will be so ready to see what will happen next.
Oh my the cliffhanger queen has done it again. I absolutely loved this book. I literally read it in one sitting, I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. If you liked Cruel Intentions you will love this book. I can not wait for the next book!
*Spoiler Alert*
