Just wow. First book I’ve read by this amazing author who has stellar reviews, and I agree it was a masterful story with so many twists and unexpected turns you were dying to read the next page.
This is the first book I have ever read from this author and it was such a great read! I could not put it down! The author kept me turning page after page, until I hit the end of the book.
I loved the heroine Harlow Westbook. She is spunky, smart and a bada$$ that didn’t take crap from anyone especially the four HOT guys, Saint Lennox, Galen Lennox, Caz Evens and Theo Smith. These guys tried to intimidate her, but stood her ground.
That ending left me feeling like, WTF just happened and I need the 2nd book NOW!!!
I want/need the 2nd book, I need to know what happens next. Can’t wait to continue this story!
There are so many words that can be applied to Harlow, but tragically damaged and a little self-destructive definitely fit. Yet, she has a core of strength she relies on and she owns every single choice she makes. The guys are just as damaged as she is from Saint to Galen to Theo and Caz.
Dark, twisted, and pulling no punches at some of the seedier side of their lives, this is the first in a trilogy and the second Resurrection just continues this wild, thrilling ride. I cannot wait for the third book.
UNPUTDOWNABLE, SEXY, INTENSE AND ALL THE ANGST!!
O.M.G. I really don’t even know where to start with this book! The characters first of all are completely off the charts! They are smoking hot (including the heroine), intense, intelligent, troubled, loyal, scheming, rough around the edges and total rebels!!
Siobhan Davis has so many layers in this story that will totally blow you away!
I felt truly troubled for these characters and the things they’ve gone through in the lives because this story just sucks you in. Harlow-the heroine, Saint-#1 anti-hero, Galen-#2 anti-hero, Caz-#3 anti-hero and Theo-#4 anti-hero have all gone through such troubled pasts and each are out for their own kind of revenge. They get pushed together in an unwelcome manner that makes them all start to question each other and themselves. The group starts to grow closer to each other and that’s when the storyline really heats up. But one member of their little group goes a little rouge and things start to spiral.
This book ends in a cliffhanger and if you can get your hands on Rebellion at the same time as this one then definitely do it because at the end of this I was screaming outloud “NO!!! THAT CAN’T BE THE END! I NEED MORE!!!!”
Siobhan is the Queen at writing these dark reverse harem books because I’ve never read one quite like it!! Twists and turns, nail biting scenes, sexual scenes like nobody’s business, and always leaves you craving more!! I absolutely LOVE this book and can not wait to dive into Rebellion! Thank you Siobhan for this incredibly phenomenal story! Five stars is nowhere near enough for rating this book!!
Wow….Siobhan Davis has continued this series with a book that was even better than book one! This dark, intense RH series does not stop, it is a roller coaster ride of conflicting emotions and never ending drama that as soon as I started it was impossible to put down and as soon as I ended I wanted more! I absolutely loved the multiple POV throughout the book, it really helps to understand what all the characters are thinking and feeling especially after that dramatic ending in book one! We really get to know the guys so much more in this book, Galen’s family background, Caz’s cheeky and lightheartedness, Saint’s intense feelings and dark farther, and Theo and their dark past! This book is full of dark angst, soul destroying emotions and an intense connection between the guys and their Harlow…she is the person binding them to the future and making them become even more! This book grabs the reader by the throat and drags you into the world and leaves you wanting more and more. I cannot wait for more and while I wait I know I will go back and rad book one and two again and again! Siobhan Davis is a very talented author that knows how to create intense and dark worlds that are loved by readers!
This book is so well written. It’s dark, it’s bully, it’s hot, it’s suspense, it’s emotional, it’s a real pageturner, it’s just everything! I can’t wait for the second book. Harlow is really amazing. This is one perfect book. Well done!
Harlow meets the Sainthood on the night her father dies. The four guys try to make her life miserable but you can’t make someone live in hell if they are already there. Harlow is a take charge girl. A truly good read.

“War is coming to Lowell, and you don’t want to find yourself on the wrong side.”
Wow!!!! I’m still speechless of what i have read and even though my moral compass just broke with this book, i’m craving for more…
This was my first book by Siobhan Davis and my first reverse harem… And she nailed it for me!!!
I never could imagine myself to enjoy these kind of things, but hell…. Siobhan sold it to me very good…
This story was crazy as shit and unrealistic from many points, but hell… I loved every single moment!
This story was hard, cruel, twisted, steamy as hell and the pages were passing by so quickly…
I loved Harlow and the boys very much!!! Especially Saint who wasn’t a saint at all!!!!
“I always thought it was a myth authors created to make readers believe in soulmate love.
I have zero desire to live in my own twisted romance novel.”
Well, honestly, i don’t know how much to tell you about this story….
The blurb of the book might help you to understand better…
Harlow was a very intriguing character and she was out for blood and to find the truth about… many things!!!
After a hot night with the Sainthood, her world is turning upside down, or wasn’t that night that this had happened???
Now, these four are everywhere and they are not living her in her peace and own devices…
But even though she doesn’t want to admit it, she’s not unaffected from their possessiveness, their cruel actions toward her and their hot starings….
So what will happen after all???
“Careful, princess. Don’t poke the beast unless you’re prepared to play.”
Well, there were happening too many shits in here to tell you…
Every chapter was a new ride to catch up all the messes around Harlow and the Boys…
There are too many secrets, lies and feelings standing between them…
Saint, Caz, Gallen and Theo are affecting her in many ways and she doesn’t need these kind of complications in her life, but as much as she is fighting them, they are coming more closer to her for their own twisted reasons…
Will she manage to stick into her plan and keep her heart out of this mess???
“You can lie to yourself, angel, but we all know the truth… You’re every bit as fucked up as we are. Maybe more so.”
I will repeat myself that the reverse harem in not a genre that i have read before, but holy shit!!! These boys had stolen my heart!
Saint, Caz, Gallen and Theo are a strong unit and they are doing everything together…
Harlow is making them to break their rules and even though they’re trying to stay away from her, they can’t.
She is impressing them in every turn and that is a huge turn on for all of them…
Yep, i loved all four boys for different reasons, but my favorite is Saint…
“Why the hell does the bastard have to be so freaking hot? And why the hell is the first guy to ever evoke this type of visceral reaction in me?”
“They might think they can win me over, but I’m not like other girls.
I never give my heart away, and I sure as fuck won’t start now.”
What surprise me in here was Harlow and how of a badass she was!!!!
This girl had balls and she was proving it to us over and over again!!!
Also Harlow was a little bit as a guy disguised on a girl…
She was unapologically embracing her sexuality and i loved the way she was acting with her body…
I don’t believe what I’m saying, but it was pure physical for her too and i think that was the reason, i wasn’t bothering too much…
When the heart is involving the things are changing and I’m feeling a change to Harlow now…
“I don’t need any guy to protect me. I’m more capable of defending myself. Come at me, and you’ll find out the hard way.”
“I’m afraid of getting hurt. I don’t let guys in for a reason and these guys have the potential to cut me wide open and make me bleed. Especially, Saint because he has the ability to get inside me in a way no one ever has.”
Well, honestly, i don’t know what more to say than that i freakin’ loved this book!!!!
Harlow and the boys are ingrained themselves inside of me and i can not wait more of them…
Especially that ending….
Can’t wait for the next part!!!!
“We’ve got your back, princess. The question is, do you have ours?”
***I received an ARC for the exchange of an honest review***
Wow! My mind is reeling! This was an enticing tale. Reverse harem is the start by the end it seems more clear that she’s with one. Backstabbing, anger, hatred and more take place in this fast paced tale of the MC world. You aren’t ever sure whose on what team, but you really want more info the deeper you get into this book. I feel bad for her friends who end up being targeted by others just to get to her.
The book is riveting and you really get sucked into it, but it ends on a cliffhanger. And that cliffhanger makes you want to gut someone.
This also contains graphic sex between multiple partners. Murder and mayhem.
This is the 1st in a new series and OMG what a fascinating and addictive page turner this is! Harlow comes across “The Sainthood” alpha males who as Saint, Galen, Caz and Theo. No spoilers: this is an absolute must read you will not be disappointed. This is a well written powerful story which is dark, intense, raw, gritty, danger, revenge, angst, and thills which all lead to a brilliant story which just had to be devoured on one sitting. This talented author had done a fantastic job in penning this masterpiece and I cannot wait to read the next book in this phenomenal series and highly recommend for all lovers of a dark tale.
Holy hotness! I was completely captivated within the first chapter!! Not only does this story have sexy steamy alpha males; it has a kick ass female lead as well who can hold her own against the Sainthood. This book has so many layers, you’ll love peeling them back one by one but you’ll love how addicting it is more. Another amazing book by Siobhan and I can’t wait to see what happens next!!
Omg amazing book! Can not wait for book 2. This book has it all, kick ar*e strong woman, suspense, hot guys and she gets all of them. You’ll read it within 1 day it’s that good.
What is even happening?!?!?!
This is my first ever story by Siobhan Davis and man oh man what an introduction it’s been.
This is a dark romance and it delivers 100%.
I have always been wary of books where teens act like Gods and then get away with even murder.But this story was written in such an amazing way that their behaviour was totally believable. The story was still a bit ott for my taste but I was absolutely invested.
This story was definitely one of the credible bully romances out there. And after that mind blowing cliffhanger, I want more and more. This is an outlandish but extremely captivating world and I cannot wait to read more about it.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
“Careful, princess. Don’t poke the beast unless you’re prepared to play.”
Holy. Fucking. Shit. This author will be the end of me. Seriously. I have loved Rydeville Elite series, but this one? It has the potential to be much darker, edgier and I’m loving the hell out of it.
Resurrection is a reverse harem, dark, bully romance with enemies to lovers trope. And man, with all of these fave tropes of mine in one book and given how talented the author is, I don’t know how I’m going to survive this. Already, the story had me on the edge of my seat with its suspense, dirty secrets, betrayals and action. Not to mention our badass heroine, Harlow and her equally sexy and mysterious men, there was never a dull moment here. There were a lot of twists and shocking turns that I didn’t see coming. This author will really had you questioning and thinking of theories all throughout but still coming up short (I never even got close! Ugh!). Again, with the ending, I’m going to need the next installment, asap!
My Thoughts:
Ms. Davis’ new series has me already yearning for more! Like her Rydeville High Series, Resurrection was full of secrets, lies, partial truths, lines being blurred between love and hate, as well as enemies and allies. Nothing was as it seemed in this illicit and erotic story! Resurrection kept me guessing with the intricate plot lines, and on the edge of my seat the whole way through!
Harlow lost her father in a car accident, and is devastated. She was extremely close to her father, and suspects his death was not an accident. Her father was a lawyer and worked for The Sainthood, the most powerful, dangerous, and notorious gang around.
She is furious when shortly after her father’s death, her mother becomes engaged to Neo, the head of The Sainthood. Neo moves in his son Saint, nephew Galen, and the guys good friends and fellow initiates, Theo and Caz. Harlow already has a complicated history with these four, and things are about to get a whole lot messier…
Talk about twists, turns, and surprises! Resurrection delivered pulse-pounding excitement, danger, lust, violence, intrigue, and mystery. I love how Ms. Davis keeps readers guessing by giving us little hints and clues, but makes the grand reveal exciting! This was a reverse harem story and sexually explicit. Harlow was emotionally scarred due to a traumatic past, but her relationships with the guys had her feeling a whole lot of passion, anger, confusion, and eventually caring. As her walls started to break down, the numbness that she had been feeling for many years began to dissipate, and she began to struggle with controlling and being in charge of her own emotions.
Resurrection was a great introduction to a new series! I’m looking forward to getting to know these characters even better, and seeing where the plot takes us next! If you enjoy stories that are reverse harem, full of intrigue, action, passion, suspense, rough, rowdy, and dangerous men, and full of unexpected twists, you should check out Resurrection!
@ddeegott Siobhan Davis – The Sainthood Bk 1 – Resurrection – Reviewed 3/20/20 – Read 3/19-20/20
When the bottom drops out of your life, you lose your dad, your boyfriend and you’re left with the Saint’s…
Harlow Westbrook’s life has turned upside down, her father killed in an auto accident, her boyfriend caught cheating on her, and then she is expelled from her high school. What more could go wrong? Well, 4 months after your dad dies, you walk in and find your mom with another man!!! And this is not just any man, she remembers him from her traumatic past. Now, if that wasn’t bad enough the reason you’re expelled from school shows up on your doorstep, ready to move in with you and your mom….
Have I got your attention now, okay, just wait till you get into this book and learn all the secrets of Harlows life? What I have said above is just a taste of the experiences that she has gone through and they only get better and more involved.
What did I like? First I want to say that this book is definitely “R” rated, but when you look past that, you will have one of the most intricately involved mystery stories that you have read in this genre. I think the one thing that I liked most is Harlow Westbrook, the lead character. As you read, she starts as a child and grows to 18, but this growth is so amazing. She is intelligent and strong, yet so fragile, wanting more from life than it has given her, but yet not giving up! She has her mindset on revenge with a capital “R” and nothing, even her heart will keep her from her appointment.
What will you like? Highly explosive, harem romance, mystery, intrigue, emotional, extreme action, exciting and hot characters, unpredictable high school bullying, and just totally amazing! As with all of Siobhan’s books, we know that the men characters are going to be HOT! She alone will amaze you with her characters, but she has taken this book over the top with the drama, and an intricately woven mystery involving the lead characters, Saint and Harlow. This is a series that will leave you wanting more, and you will get it as it is a cliffhanger that continues with more things happening to Harlow. This book ends with Drama, Mystery, Intrigue all on one page. If you love Siobhan’s books don’t miss the exciting continuation of “Harlow Westbrook’s” life story, starting here with Resurrection and on with Rebellion.

This book is crazy in the best possible way. I am so hooked, and now I have to wait for the next book! This author writes in a way that every piece that’s revealed only leaves you with more questions. I was holding on for dear life. That cliffhanger left me feeling like I couldn’t catch my breath.
Harlow is a determined woman doing her best to reach her goals she set for herself. Her father was adamant that she would never be in a situation again that she wouldn’t have some way to defend herself. She has been training for years, but she manages to take me by surprise at each new thing that’s revealed.
Harlow has a hard time trusting the boys, but in the end she realizes that she trusts Saint. I am left struggling in the end about her mother. I want to know so much more about her. Her role in things. My perspective changes about her drastically by the end.
When Harlow’s past comes to light, the plot snapped into place for me. So many things made sense, but it also had me wanting more answers. It explained a lot about her drive for vengeance.
When Saint and the boys start putting all together, it becomes an awakening for them all. Galen thinks the other boys are blind to Harlow. His actions in the end shocked me to the core. I never saw that coming. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
*takes a deep breath*
*won’t smash the e-reader*
*won’t stalk the author to her house doors*
*calms down…*
Let me start off by saying this is not your typical reverse harem nor bully book. So even if you’re not a fan of the first or the second, you should still give Resurrection a chance.
Because HOLY SMOKES, ‘hot and bothered’ doesn’t even cover how I felt during the prologue. Siobhan Davis served us 1) Four hot dudes to drool over. Yum. 2) A badass heroine with sass. 3) A bad guy that made my skin crawl. 4) DRAMA. 5) An interesting plot that kept me flipping the pages super-fast. And can I just say, read the book? I FLOVE IT!

Now back to the beginning. Resurrection didn’t feel like clean RH. Harlow seemed to have a stronger bond with one of the guys, not all four. Guy number 2, 3, 4 were just for sex? But a damn hot sex might I add. I can’t wait to see how their relationship plays out, especially after that mindblowing ending.
I saw some parallels with Cruel Intentions. If you loved that book, you will most likely devour this one. So don’t miss it!!!
I love all siobhan books there all awesome!! But this book was hot I love RH romance this one is in my top five i cant wait for more books!! Saint is my favorite so far and the s*x is WoW
I must say I love Siobhan as an author but honestly was hesitant about this book. I wasnt sure I would like the characters, but OMG, how wrong I was. Pulled in with the first chapter I read on until the end and so anxious to see where the story goes. I absolutely love all the guys they are…. yummy everything wrapped up into one that I must say is a difference for me. Definitely a must read, you will not be disappointed
