I can’t wait to see what happens next in this trilogy. This is Siobhan at her best!
OMG OMG OMG THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING..
I was hooked and read at every teeny tiny bit of time I had available…
Absolutely amazing, has it all – swoon worthy guys, bad ass heroine and twists and turns, that means you just can’t put it down as you have to know what happens…
I’m now hibernating till book 2 comes out…
A MUST READ
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
Gahhhhhh!!
I thought that Siobhan Davis couldn’t screw me over any more than she did with the Rydeville High series but once again I am sat here, ragey as fuck, not knowing what to think, with a million theories running through my head!!
“You taste like temptation, Harlow Westbrook.”
Resurrection is an addictive, reverse harem romance that will set your kindles on fire!
The Sainthood, I have no words. None.
Their looks. Their dominance. Their power. Their passion and their raw sexuality left me panting at the pages needing more.
“Careful, Princess. Don’t poke the beast unless you are prepared to play.”
I want to poke them. Each and everyone of them
Harlow is a boss bitch. A bad ass and I think I have a girl crush on her.
Get ready for Siobhan Davis to blow your world up on January 31st. I NEED BOOK 2 ASAP!!!
Ten out of this world stars. I am really loving these dark, bully romance books. This one totally takes the cake. Raw, passionate, strong, sexy, steam coming off your Kindle good. Need book #2 now.
What’s not to like or maybe even love about this book. Resurrection is Book One in The Sainthood Boys Of Lowell High. If you love a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, have you putting down your kindle cause you can’t believe that just happened then this is the one you won’t want to miss.
We meet Harlow Westbrook a High School Senior who has had so many life experiences some good some not so good but when she loses her dad everything changes and coming up against The Sainthood has so many more questions than she does answers.
Saint, Galen, Caz & Theo are the four leaders of the Junior Chapter of The Sainthood, sent to keep not only an eye on Harlow but keep her in line, they don’t realize how tough and resilient she really is.
There will be so much push and pull between them, there will be a test of their loyalty not only to the Sainthood but to each other too.
This book will have you on one heck of a rollercoaster ride, and just like the ride there will be so many twists and turns that might leave you feeling dizzy but you will say can I do that again.
A surprise release from one of my favorite authors!
In another seemingly Bully romance, we’ve got a gang twist, a reverse harem twist, and a betrayal twist. So much going on, your head will spin. Who to trust, what’s going on, and why is Galen SO angry all the time?!?!
Harlow is a character I can really get behind. She’s strong and motivated, but she’s also flawed and more than a little broken. She gets in deeper than most people would think she can handle, but yet she holds her own until the very last page. The four guys who are both aggravating her and tempting her in equal measure are dark, brooding, and dangerous, but I think that’s a majority of their appeal. The sexual tension between the 5 of them is astounding.
At the end, I was left with more questions than answers and I can not wait to get my hands on the next book in the series. Luckily, Ms. Davis never keeps us waiting for too long. But she is the Queen of the Cliffhanger, and this book is no different. I’ll be on pins and needles wondering what’s going to happen to Harlow until I can get book two!
If you enjoy Dark Romance, Bully Romance, and Reverse Harem Romance, this is sure to knock your socks off!
*I was issued an advanced copy of this book which I voluntarily reviewed.*
Resurrection is the first book in the The Sainthood—Boys of Lowell High series by one of my favorite authors, Siobhan Davis! As always, I didn’t read the synopsis. I knew it was dark and it’s by Siobhan so…I didn’t need to. I have been addicting to her stories since Finding Kyler and even more so after the start of The Rydeville Elite series. I do crave a twisted mindf*ck so its a perfect combo. I can’t really say much without spoiling and I did read the synopsis before writing this so here it goes.
One night changed everything. First, Harlow’s father dies in an accident. Second, she walks in one something that wasn’t totally unexpected. And third, she has one hot AF night with four men from The Sainthood. All and all, it’s a night she will never forget. And, a few months later it’s even harder to forget when Saint, Theo, Caz, and Galen show up on the first day of school. She was fucked and not in a good way. It was time for her to watch her back. Time to get plans into motion. She was not going to let The Sainthood, an organization not to fuck with get to her even if their junior members were very easy on the f*cking eyes.
I can’t really say much. I will say that it’s a dark and twisted tale full of lies, secrets, lust, hate, and the unexpected. I loved every minute of it even when I wanted to cringe. I don’t know what it is about the darkness that sucks me in but damn…it does every. Single. Time. And I loved the reverse harem part of the stories. Each character has their own personality. They each bring something to the table and I can see why Harlow is fighting with herself.
I can’t wait for the next book! Siobhan is the Queen of the Cliffhangers!
P.S. Make sure to click for the Bonus Scene at the end!
Quotes:
“I’m beginning to think we need to wear full body armor or our Kevlar vests when we’re around the princess.”
“You can lie to yourself, angel, but we all know the truth.” He leans in close to my face. “You’re every bit as fucked up as we are. Maybe more so.”
“I hope you’re the patient type, because that won’t be happening any time soon.” I put my face in hers. “Like ever.” I push her back. “And I’m no fucking princess. I’m the goddamn queen.”

Holy crap!!!! This book was so hot, violent, passionate, frustrating, selfish and cold. These are not your average high schoolers!
I’m still not sure how I feel about any of the Sainthood crew. They each had their role and unique personalities. I wanted to like them as the read progressed but I still don’t trust them. Any of them.
I wanted to fist bump Harlow for standing up for herself throughout the entire read and shooting down all of the slut shaming and double standard bs that was slung her way. She owned her sexuality and wasn’t afraid of the repercussions. The book is classified as a reverse harem and it was my first read of that sub-genre. Yes, the heroine had sexual encounters with all 4 the young men at the same time and sometimes separately, but she started to develop unique relationships with each one. The book had a nice balance of lust and fight.
This book was heavily saturated in the crime/gang/mafia type storyline, even though it was primarily based around high school aged characters. With that life came expectations, requirements, secrets, violence, betrayal, and so many more compromising situations. All of it intrigued me and as the intricate webs of deception wove more and more, I was left baffled at how the story would continue and who you could trust. Just when you thought you had a grasp on the situation, the author would give you a new crumb trail to follow. This is certainly going to be an extremely detailed, in depth, chaotic mind effing series.
This book does end in a gasp worthy cliffhanger!!! I cannot wait to see where this story goes!
Woah! I’m surprised how much I loved this because there was a little bit too much skank in the beginning; from pretty much everyone in the book, the boys and gals in this town let his/her lust rule. The hooo levels are high in this town! But! I absolutely loved how Harlow can handle herself and doesn’t let others get away with treating her like crud. She’s tough and intelligent. She does let her lust rule her sometimes, but at least she owns it. It’s so funny how many people called her slurs because of her promiscuous ways, but they were just as bad or worse than she is; so many hypocrites. The sex scenes are hot; I wasn’t so much into the first one because it was just pure carnal urges, and I prefer a bit more feeling. Still a wowza scene though! I’m not so much getting the reverse harem aspect of the romance yet because some of the guys seem unsure about Harlow, but there’s interesting dynamics with each of the 4 guys. Harlow seems to have history with most of them; bad and good history, so there’s moments where it’s like a war zone. The push and pull is just so entertaining; Harlow is fierce! There’s an enemies to lovers thing going on too, which I enjoy. Each side thinks they know the other, but everything isn’t as it seems. Some crazy hot dynamics between Harlow and these boys! They have all grown up in a really messed up place, so they all have some really, really high walls up. The trust is hard for all of them. I do feel bad for Harlow and the guys because these people obviously have so many issues and you just know they can’t keep their destructive ways up, so it’s sad that they need this level of separation between sex and emotion. This whole town is filled with unhappy people; they project confidence and power on the outside, but you can feel how miserable they truly are.
This town is ruled by mafia type gangs; tons of corruption, crime, and men who think they are God’s gift. There’s lots of secrets and lies going on in this town; some of which have impacted Harlow’s life. Harlow is on the hunt for a way to take down some key players that continue to cause strife in her life. Saint is a junior member of the gang; his father is president, Saint and his friends rule wherever they go. Harlow ends up in their path and will never be the same again. The guys try to “break” Harlow down with intimidation and such, but Harlow isn’t a damsel. The fight in her is strong! These boys don’t know what hit them, and they really do deserve a good kick in the balls a lot of the time. Harlow and the guys are all 18, but have been subjected to such a messed up upbringing, they all have done some messed up things. There’s very little innocence in this group. The story is fully entertaining and I was engrossed from the beginning. This is definitely not a light fluffy read; there’s some dark and dirty elements, lots of disgusting guys and violence. The main guys are straight up jerks a lot of the times, but there are those pops of sweet that help soften them a bit. I enjoyed the suspense and mystery behind all the messed up junk happening in this town.
I’m really excited to see where this story goes! Major cliffhanger, so I need the next book super, super soon please!
Oh my Gosh!! That ending. It can’t be real. This book is just amazingly written. It is dark so be prepared but it is totally worth it. Harlow is kick ass! She is so cunning and strong. I’m in love with Saint. You can’t help but be drawn into his darkness and want more. Caz is the fun one of the group. Theo silent. Galen I have no words for right now. You will understand once you read the book. Which you must do.
I don’t even know where to start. It’s been less than 24 hours since I’ve finished this book and I still am trying to wrap my head around everything. The cliff hanger kills me!! Ugh I need the next book to come out asap! These characters are well written and like always they take you on a roller coaster ride.
Lo is no match for the Saint boys. Only problem is her feelings start to get in the way and I have no clue how this will end as the story is not as predictable as most. I’m buckled in and holding on tight waiting to see how this will turn out. Siobhan you Slay me with each book you release and I love them all!
I have voluntarily reviewed a complementary advanced copy of this book.
No flipping way!!!
I am so worked up right now I can feel my heart pounding in my chest!
I don’t want to give spoilers
When the story first started I had my doubts. I felt a bit lost and some of the events just did not make sense (yes I am an over thinker). As I progressed things slowly clicked into place. I still had trouble at times connecting and occasionally was thrown by a scene but that problem diminished the further I got into the story. Soon I found myself eager to get to the next page.
As secrets were slowly revealed and plots were unveiled I could feel my blood pressure rising – I’m serious – the tension is so thick at times I could taste it. This for me was the five-star draw, I honestly was on edge and had so many “WTF” outbursts my kid was looking at me like I had lost my ever-loving mind.
Harlow is one tough young lady but all the preparation in the world can’t prepare you for betrayal. She is all for equal play opportunities and I liked that she owned up to who she was. She is hurting but she doesn’t show it. Maybe someday the king(s) to her queen will stand with her and share the burden…. IDK
Saint – I don’t like him. Sorry, I’m sure I’m going to be one of the few. Some of his choices? Not forgivable.
Caz – absolutely adore him. He has this cuddly hell hound puppy feel to him.
Theo – the quiet one with a past that connects I’m just not sure how yet. He observes more than he participates that too me is a scary quality
Galen – you are just jealous!
Sinner – you make my skin crawl
Mom – I was leaning toward tossing you out with the trash now I am not so sure
Darrow – Dude Pull your head out!!!!
I can’t believe how this ended!
I’m going to have nightmares as my mind’s plays out all the possibilities that can play out
Wow! Just wow. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Harlow is a complete badass. And the guys…oh man the guys are hot as sin. I loved the twists and turns, unpredictability, secrets and lies. I can’t wait for book two to come out.

Siobhan has done it again with another amazing book that will have you wanting more by the time you are done reading it. Move over boys of Rydeville High Elite the members of the Sainthood are coming for you. This book will you have hooked from the first page you read. Control and power are up for grabs and one will be left standing in the end. Harlow wants answers and she wants them now and she will get them not matter what. The members of the Sainthood want Harlow and they will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Lies, secrets, promises, heartbreak, revenge are all at stake and is all of that worth it in the end. When reading this book my emotions were all over the place when I was reading this and I didn’t know what to feel. You think you know how it’s going to end but you really don’t. This book deserves more than 5 stars!!!
I received an ARC copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my review.
Resurrection was a mindfuck. Dark and twisted in a similar way to the Rydeville High Elite series, but more intense and better written.
Harlow is our heroine, and while she is similar to Abby from Rydeville High, she seems stronger. She meets up with the Sainthood boys on the night her father dies, and she chooses to forget her pain by basking in the pleasure they give her that one night.
Danger, suspense, action, and sizzling hot sexual tension were the basis of Resurrection. Siobhan Davis took it to a new level. It felt like one of the better “bully” books I’ve read recently. The bullying didn’t feel so mean spirited, and it seemed to fit the plot line.
The reverse harem felt more like a relationship between two characters that occasionally allow partners to join in, but I’m hoping the group dynamic enhances over the next two books.
I reread the last two pages several times and the cliffhanger still runs through my head when my thoughts drift in the shower. Rebellion can’t release fast enough.
I forgot how Evil Siobhans cliffys are.
But oh so worth it.
No Pain. No Gain.
Our Heroine. Kinda scares me, but I also totally have a girl crush on her. She is strong and she owns her stuff. She is also so advantageous in all things carnal. I could not do it. For me, physical intimacy is about connecting my soul to someone. However, I can see the appeal of just for the pleasure of it. And boy this girl is an expert. (This is me taking notes hahahahah) I also really enjoyed seeing her emotional development.
Now on the flip side. The men in this book. Oh, snap. You have brooding, smart, funny, cruel, ice-cold, oh so dang sexy men. One of every flavor. *sigh* WAY too young for me, but 16-18 heck even up to 25-year-old me would be smitten. I’ve loved seeing what we do thus far with these men, and how their own walls are starting to fall……
In Siobhan fashion, there are layers upon layers of drama, suspense, and story. Not all is what it seems. One thing for certain, these ‘meddling kids’ are going to flip their world on their axis. I cant wait to watch the drama unfold.
OMG!!! Can’t wait for everyone to read the first book of Siobhan’s newest RH series!!!!! Harlow needs a “favor” and the Junior Sainthood takes care of that “favor” but at a cost to Harlow that she’s still living within later on. Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo are all going through initiation into The Sainthood and ready to pass off the Junior reins to the next group. Both the Junior Sainthood and Harlow are looking, digging for something though it could be the same answers for both.
RH is not for everyone, please be advised there are scenes with this!!!! Otherwise it’s a twisted, dark bully, action packed, sexy first book in what will sure to be a fantastic series.
Brilliant work Siobhan Davis. Another great book to take you through the highs and lows and twist and turns. You got me again with another cliffhanger, can’t wait for book two.
***I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
I don’t even know what to say about this book other than it was absolutely amazing and I was blown away. I love all of Siobhan’s book but this one is my absolute favourite. I couldn’t put it down at all. I cannot wait for more and trust me I want too much more. I love the female MC she is absolutely badass and who I want to be when I grow up. You are all going to love it.
If Siobhan Davis asked me to read her grocery list I honestly would. Everything she writes is just too good to put down and this new series is going to be no different.
Harlow is such a badass heroine and doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do (unless she wants to with Saint in the bedroom ;)). She lost her Dad and had a traumatic past but she won’t let that define her. Not only has that made her stronger and tougher but also someone who can put someone else in their place if they try tell her she is doing something that “woman shouldn’t do but men can.”
These boys … Saint, Galen, Caz and Theo are HOT. They are grade A a-holes but they’re the bad boys that us girls live for in these books and boy are they sexy in all the ways. They are ruthless when it comes to power, money, sex and of course…Harlow.
This book is everything and more. It’s Dark and full of suspense. It’s a rollercoaster full of emotions but it is HOT and steamy. This book is so good that you won’t be able to put it down… Not even for a toilet break #takethatkindlewithyou. Do yourself a favour and get this book !!
I need the next book like yesterday !
