Absolutely loved this book! At first, it was almost too dark for me, but as I got to know the characters, I couldn’t stop reading!
The book is contemporary and, as is Ms. Davis’s way, characters are well defined and so very realistic. Major cliffhanger at the end, so I hope the next book comes out soon. I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
Lo’s entire world has just blown up in more ways than one. She’s FAR from the typical high schooler. After being kidnapped and tortured as a thirteen year old, her dad secretly helped her train to know she’d NEVER be a victim again. Helping her to take her own power back, he’s had people train her secretly in hand to hand, knife skills, first aid and oh soooooooo much more. What she didn’t expect was for her dad to suddenly die and her entire world implode within mere months after the fact. Suddenly she’s the sole focus of the leaders of a local gang, and they’re determined to make her heel. Little do they know who they’re dealing with. Sadly Lo herself is dealt some MASSIVE blows herself in her own home, by the last person expected. If she was in Hell before, then she’s now in the lowest level of Dante’s Inferno now. Determined to gain justice for the past, and for her father she’s going to fight through it all. It’s extremely graphic, but at the heart is a true warrior queen! If I learned anything from past books by this author (like Rydeville Elite), the reader has to suffer through the trials and pain of the female character until the MAJOR payoff in the end! I for one can’t wait to see the avenging Angel Lo get the justice and answers she so great deserves. In the meantime we’re in for one heckuva ride!!!
Like the first series I read by Siobhan Davis, Cruel Intentions, Resurrection is not for everyone. This story has several triggers that some people can not read. I did enjoy the story. Ms. Davis always manages to leave us on the edge of are seat anxiously awaiting the next book. I am curious to see the direction this series is going. Ms. Davis tends to leave us thinking one thing but surprising us in the end.
Seriously Siobhan just always knows how to write intriguing, heart gripping, nail biting reverse harem stories. This series is all about the Sainthood Boys of Lowell High. It’s spectacular and an intense read with some themes that might be touchy for some people, however I loved every single word.
The Sainthood boys exist of Saint, Galen, Caz and Theo who are going to rock your world in ways you never saw coming . The characters will leave you hurting in places you never knew existed. They are portrayed as dangerous, sinful yet sexy boys that have their eyes fixed on our sassy heroine Harlow for reasons that are terrifying and intriguing at the same time. You see, our Harlow was kidnapped at a young age and tortured by the Sainthood but all the cards come crushing down when Harlow’s father dies and answers are needed to be delivered on who killed her father.
The scenes are set in motions that are like a thriller movie and that cliffy that blew my socks off will tilt your world on an axis.
Get ready to meet this gang !!!! They are exceptional.
My head is still spinning over this story…I loved every deprived, dark, and dirty minute of it. It’s twisty and sexy, it’s got LOTS of mystery and suspense. It’s HOT as balls.
Harlow has got herself immersed into this world of lies and deception. She is one tough cookie. She doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do, how to do it, or when to do it. She has met her match however and its very interesting to see how it plays out. I can’t explain how amazing this story is….if your not hooked after the prologue then something is wrong with you.
I am dying for the next book!!!
#TheSainthood #TheArrows #Princess
Such an amazing reverse harem story! Harlow and the Sainthood is something you need to experience. Siobhan is a true wordsmith and I am left in awe, anger, sadness, and about all the emotions while reading this book. Will you get mad? Yes. Will you cry? Yes. Will you feel all the feels? Yes. Don’t just take my word for it — grab yourself a copy and see what I mean. Once you start reading Siobhan you will become obsessed.
Thankfully this will be a part of a series cause it was one heck of a cliffhanger. Harlow is an amazingly strong female lead character. Harlow went through a traumatic experience that she felt broke her, but I think it make her a stronger person/character. The boys….Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo are junior members of the Sainthood and when Saints father gets involved with Harlow’s mother they move to Lowell. Where they try their best to make Harlow’s life difficult, but the attraction between them all is intense! Remember this is a reverse harem book. I don’t want to spoil the story for you, so I will leave it there. If you purchase this book enjoy it as much as I have.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
HOLY MOLY… If reading that first chapter of Resurrection says anything, SIGN ME UP! One very hot, steamy scene, will have your panties very wet…
I don’t really need to say more, just PICK UP AND READ.
Harlow is one bad ass woman and Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo are on a whole other level. Harlow’s mum is infuriating and you want to throw your kindle/book across the room but the four guys will have you needing something else, calming you down in no time from a very hot and steamy scene, leave you wanting more.
BEWARE, it will leave you wanting more, as it is a cliff hanger and you will be wanting the second instalment ASAP. But let us hope, Siobhan won’t have us hanging for too long.

Harlow is devastated when her father dies so she goes to the one man she thinks can give her comfort but all he brings is more pain. Needing to forget, even if it is just for one night, she spends a steamy evening with four members of The Sainthood who are Saint, Galen, Caz and Theo but when what was supposed to be a private moment becomes public she not only finds herself attending the same school they but under their control as well.
The four men have very different personalities and they all provide very different aspects to the relationship. Even though they do their best to not only test her but bend her to their will she is strong, fiery and doesn’t back from anyone which only makes the interactions between that much more intense.
This story takes you on a dark twisty ride filled with heat and emotion which escalate into a cliff hanger which leaves you wondering what the future has in store for Harlow and her men.
Wow. Just wow. Harlow is a grl in pain, a lot of pain. There is a lot of trauma in her past and she has been trained to protect herself. Very well trained. When she meets four very hot guys from The Saints gang, fur flies. This book is sensational and what a start to another killer series from this fabulous author. Ends on a cliffhanger so pretty please hurry up with the next one. Very highly recommended.
Let me start off here…
I LOVE a good bully romance. The RH aspect of it…. not so much.
This really didn’t feel like any other RH that I’ve read, in that there isn’t a lot of interaction between the partners. Instead it feels like our main character is in a relationship with one, and sharing herself with the others, much to her partners dismay.
Anyways. This was fairly light as far as a bully romance goes, for ME. It may be that we simply couldn’t see all the aspects or extents that things were going to, but either way, it could have been ramped up and I would have enjoyed it.
The ending, while it did leave me hanging, kind of came out of nowhere, so I’m hoping that the disconnect is cleared up in the next book, simply because I was very confused about what was happening, and why, but not in a good way.
Overall, I did enjoy the read, and I will be continuing the series for sure.
This book started out with a Big Bang, that immediately made it hard to put down and ended with a massive cliffhanger (and book hangover).
I loved the chemistry that I felt throughout this book, it added so much to the storyline. Dialogue kept me entertained and excited for more.
Don’t let the cliffhanger stop you from one clicking this one, I know the wait will be beyond worth it!
WRECKED! This book is sooo good! Full of action, mystery, intense sexual situations, and surprises at every chapter. Siobhan has taken the crown in the reverse harem/bully romance genre. After reading the Rydeville series and now Resurrection, I haven’t read anyone better! A badass heroin and strong male roles make this one a MUST READ!
I’ve read a lot of books written by Siobhan Davis; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.
I received a free copy of this book and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
Go. Right. Now. Go read this book- it is everything
#HARLOWANDTHESAINTHOOD4EVER
FIVE REVERSE HAREM STARS for Harlow, Saint, Galen, Caz and Theo !!!
Before you start reading Siobhan’s books you should know one little thing…
Once you get into Siobhan’s book world you’ll become obsessed with her books.
Truly and forever.
I can without any doubt say that Siobhan is one of my favorite authors but also my favorite and number one for recommending.
“Rydeville Elite” was my first obsession written by Siobhan and I thought that her earlier books won’t be good as this series.
But, I was wrong.
She surprised me again and that was with “The Kennedy Boys” series.
So, weeks ago I’ve got a newsletter that the new series by Siobhan is coming out on January 31st and it’ll be a reverse harem.
To be honest, I was a little scared because I’ve never before read RH so I didn’t know if it will be my cup of tea.
You know what?
I became the lover of RH books thanks to Siobhan.
And one more thing.
I think that this is the best book Siobhan has written so far (but I still love from the bottom of my heart both series).
I don’t know how she does it or from where she gets all inspiration because her every new book is mind-blowing.
You could have a thousand theories and never guess how the book will end.
“Resurrection” is a reverse harem, dark high school bully romance with a lot of angst.
This book is hot, like really hot from the beginning.
I’ve never met the main female character as Harlow.
She left me without words.
She is a real badass and she doesn’t have a problem to show everyone that she is not scared and she doesn’t need a prince charming to save her.
Because she does it herself.
Saint is a dominant male character who will do anything to tame wild woman but then he’ll learn he found someone who is equal to him.
Galen is a secretive and scary character that no matter how hard you try you’ll never discover his deepest and darkest secrets.
Caz.
Oh, my dear Caz.
He reminded me a lot of Jackson from the “Rydeville Elite” series because he is a total party boy.
Theo is the silent character who is good with technology and he’ll recover all your secrets.
The end absolutely surprised me.
I didn’t expect a cliffhanger like that.
I love it and hate it at the same time.
But, I know with the second book “Rebbelion” from this series, Siobhan will make up for this misery she left me in.
If you’re a fan of Siobhan’s books and also love RH romance, then YOU MUST TO READ THIS BOOK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!
Highly recommended!!!
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
Siobhan Davis has done it again!!! When you think that you have a favorite book but realize that can never happen because she keeps bringing you more and more books you can not just say no to because they are all great. Every time I feel like I have a favorite she comes up with another book that just leaves you wanting more. I can honestly say that she always makes you feel like your in the book watching everything as it unfolds and even at times you feel like you can be one of the main characters because of the feelings you get by just reading how sad, happy, mad , or love that character feels it is amazing. Harlow is a girl who has lost someone she loved dearly someone who help her get through things she went through as a young girl. Things keep getting more and more crazy and hard to come to terms with everything when it starts to change. Saint Is a guy that is strong and a leader and doesn’t have to work hard for things because he is the guy that gets what he wants but there is something that he held on too but so has CAZ, THEO, Galen…. they all have somethings they keep to themselves. All of them are tuff and stick together no matter what because they are all like family and no matter what they help out one another. They are four good-looking guys and have different personality but each have a soft spot that you will love. This book has so many crazy things going on it keeps you on your toes wondering what will happen next. Its a must read I don’t want to give anything away but I promise you wont be disappointed. I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
Wow. Once I started reading this, I just couldn’t stop! This was my first real RH book so I didn’t know what I was getting myself into! And it started off hot and steamy! Jumped right in and I was ALL for that!
Suspense- Check
Reverse Haram – Check.
Bully – Check.
Sexy Times – Check.
This story was needed!! And you all really need to get in on this amazing story too. I cannot want to see what comes next!!
Thank you for your review.
Overall Grade:
Siobhan Davis is one of the reigning queens of the dark bully/high school romance. When you enter one of her stories, you know that you are going to encounter some dark stuff. And you ask yourself, “why?” Quite honestly, romance is the type of genre where there is a little something for everyone. Even more, one of the most popular tropes involves the redemption of a bully. There is power in that journey, and there is nothing better than a heroine bringing an alpha-domineering male to his knees.
I read Davis’s Rydevill Elite trilogy. In that trilogy, the heroine struggled between her inner strength and her overwhelming chemistry with the bully (along with other bullish male characters). For me, reading that trilogy was a battle for the end. Now, Davis is releasing a new dark high school romantic trilogy, The Sainthood – Boys of Lowell High. With this trilogy, Davis has stepped up her game because she calls this a reverse menage dark high school romance. Here, we are treated to our heroine, Harlow “Lo,” and four men, the guys of the Sainthood. This story follows their erotic night together and the aftermath of that night. To be fair, while this has been labeled a reverse menage, there are only a few aspects of it here, rather Lo seems destined for Saint, the leader of the junior Sainthood. It will be interesting to see how this progresses with the next two books in the series.
What did I like about Resurrection over Cruel Intentions, the first book of the Rydeville Elite series?
Lo. As a heroine in this story, she works. She reads stronger than Abigail, the heroine of Cruel Intentions. As I read Resurrection, it read as though Davis upgraded her heroine to handle the emotional and physical demands of the quartet of men. Davis also offers us more insight into her mind, illustrating the contradictions between her lust for the men and her disdain for them. Multiple times she tells the reader that she hates women who act like her, and it makes you connect to her. She shows us her foibles, so it’s easy to accept when she readily falls into their arms.
The guys. These are the worst types of heroes. In fact, these guys are anti-heroes. Davis makes it clear in this book that they can be redeemed on some level, but it won’t happen until much later. Until that time, Davis offers us glimpses of their humanity as they overwhelm Harlow with their alpha-male tendencies. Thankfully, Lo is tough, and she can handle their censure and their interest in her. Additionally, each male character is a type, so you can find your favorite kind of guy in this book, as you have choices.
The story. Just as she does with most of her books, Davis crafts a turn at every corner. From one minute to the next, you have no idea where the story will take you, and you cannot trust anyone. This keeps you glued to the page, waiting to work it out until the end. For Resurrection, Davis, as she did with the Rydeville Elite series, leaves you on a nice cliffhanger, which means we have to be patient for the resolution.
It can be difficult to read a dark high school romance because it shows the worst parts of humanity. I think that’s what I find interesting about Siobhan Davis’s books, books such as Resurrection. She magnifies the parts of humanity that we like to hide, and she illuminates it in her characters, only to wrap it in romance with a big pink bow. You will appreciate Harlow and her female empowerment, you will hate to love Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo, and you will be captured by the twisty storytelling of Davis. Even more, this is one hot tamale of a book (as are Davis’s other ones). If you are willing to suspend your disbelief, Resurrection makes for a satisfying bedtime read.
ARC REVIEW
Talk about feeling empowered after having read an amazing book with strong characters!
‘Resurrection’ by Siobhan Davis is a bad*ss book that is definitely not for everyone. Why you may ask? Well, because it is a powerful and violent book, because it is a dark bully romance, because it is a reverse harem romance and most importantly because it ends with a cliffhanger that has the power to rip your heart out of your chest and lit it on fire:)
From every single book I have had the pleasure to read from this talented author, I have never ever been disappointed. Every book is just as I had expected and more, they are all-powerful, unique, complex and with amazing characters. This book was not different.
‘Resurrection’ is a one of a kind dark bully reverse harem romance, that includes everything you love from each singular subgenre and brings it all together in one epic masterpiece.
This book is a serious battle of hate and love, of angsty encounters, powerful fights, empowering women who won’t bow to any man and alphaholes who will make you hate them as much as you love them.
I found that the beginning of the book felt a bit confusing but let me tell you, once the pieces start falling in place, oh man it all starts making sense and you will. be. mindblown.
Harlow is a strong and bad*ss woman, a born leader and a natural queen, she is as beautiful as she is lethal, both physically and mentally. She is a force to be reckoned with, a deadly hurricane you should run from and be afraid if you get in her way, a warrior and a survivor who decided to not let her past dictate her future, a woman who took matters into her own hands and decided to write her own f*cking story.
Harlow is like a pandora box, one full of secrets and skills, one you desperately want to open despite the consequences. A strong and capable woman who refuses to show emotion and won’t let anything or anyone get in her way to reach the goal.
Well, that is until four entitled and smug alphaholes decided to barge into her life and challenge her at every turn.
Saint, Theo, Caz, and Galen are four scary mfs, the kind of people you don’t cross, the kind whose deadly reputation is known wherever you go, the kind that even Kings bow to because they know who really holds the power.
They are all close, both for choice and obligation, they come as a package deal, a deadly one that is. They are as powerful as they are drop-dead-gorgeous, they are skilled in every aspect of life, cocky and scary when they want to be, but they are also caring and sweet, in their own psycho ways.
They are all very different from each other, physically, mentally, emotionally, and despite the arguments and tension, they always come together, they always have their backs, especially when it comes to protecting or torturing their princess.
This is a dark and mysterious book, one that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat cover to cover, one that will twist your insides and have your heart pounding, holding your breath until you feel like you are gonna pass out.
This book is full of twists and turns, secrets and sometimes betrayal; it is a very powerful book that will consume you just as you consume it.
It is a trilogy, so I have to warn you that it will end with a cliffhanger, and a powerful one too, one that, if you’re are like me, will leave you staring at that last page doing nothing for 5 minutes straight.
This is an empowering and dangerous book that you need in your life! The dark bully reverse harem romance we had all been waiting for, one that will knock you off your feet and probably steal your soul.
If I were you, I’d go check this baby out NOW! I mean four hot-as-h*ll guys and one bad*ss girl who refuses to bow to any of them except under the covers, lots of angst, anger and pent up aggression! WHAT ELSE CAN YOU WANT?!
Siobhan has done it again.
Harlow is a strong and ruthless FMC. She won’t take grief from anyone unless it is on her terms. You can feel the inexplicable connection she has with all of the guys…especially the irresistible moody ones.
I can’t wait to learn more about the guys and why they are the way they are. All of them are just like Harlow in the fact that they are always in control…except when it comes to Lo.
Be prepared for some dark stuff to go down!! It’s great in all the best ways.
I am left with so many burning questions. And that cliffhanger!! Can’t wait for the next book!!
