This is the complete trilogy “Seven Sins” ready to be devouredBook 1: Succubus SinsI’m about to make the seven deadly sins my bitchSee this tattoo across my stomach? Yeah, the one with seven crazy runes. Ignore the pink one on the far right, that’s Sarah. I love her, but she’s not one of my four. That was a hard lesson to learn. I tried being loyal to her. Even went to a stinky Succubi Den to get … that’s Sarah. I love her, but she’s not one of my four. That was a hard lesson to learn.
I tried being loyal to her. Even went to a stinky Succubi Den to get a snack or two just to stay alive. Well, that didn’t work out, and now I’m stuck trying to charge some dusty old relic my mother left behind. Turns out there’s some crazy destiny tied to my tattoo, which is actually a birthmark and all about the end of the world. Sounds fun, sort of, not really.
I’ve met rune #1, and he wasn’t at all what I’d expected. It wasn’t love at first sight. Maybe hate at first sight. Pretty sure he hates my guts. But that’s okay, maybe rune #2 will bring him around.
This end of the world stuff is just getting started, and I have a feeling one of my very own sins is the one stirring the pot. The Incubus King, what sin might he be? Lust… my favorite one. Bring it on.
Book 2: Siren Sins
Sirens… They Make Sin Look Good
I’ve found my third, and he’s definitely the sin of anger. Jet has some damn rage problems, but I guess that’s to be expected from a dragon shifter. Am I ready to play with fire? You bet your ass I am.
Derek, one of my sins, is making good work on stirring the pot. He’s trying to rip open a hole to hell and he’s gotten Luke on a leash to do just that. Don’t worry, I have a plan. I just hope it doesn’t get everybody killed.
Meanwhile I hear Sarah’s gotten herself into some shit. By the time I get to her (gotta keep those sins in line) I find out that she has a new girlfriend. A muse and a siren sound like trouble to me, and I decide I don’t like this Vikki character, even if there’s something about her that makes one of my runes itch…
Book 3: Vampire Sins
My fourth is a freaking vampire?
Xavier is cocky, overzealous, and way too hot for his own good. He’s just what I need to stop my nightmares from coming to fruition, except he’s telling me that I’m not supposed to stop the future from happening. I’m supposed to fulfill a dark prophecy. One where I’m the Queen of Hell, turned into a vampire, and I save hell itself from being destroyed.
Hell getting destroyed sounds like a good idea to me, so I’ll have to talk some sense into Xavier, but first I need to get my men all in one place. They’re stuck all over the world and, well, let’s face it, the world’s most certainly gone to shit.
Jet, my dragon shifter, has survived the last loyalists to his brother, but they won’t accept his rule unless he obtains the Dragon’s Eye. He better not die trying to retrieve it… or trying to get back to me.
Nate, my beloved human, is trapped Hell knows where and with my grandmother of all people. He’s full of surprises though, and he might just be the weakest link in my bond that’ll save the day.
When all seven sins reunite, I’ll have power over hell itself. It’s up to me what happens next.

Having read and reviewed each title contained in this set, I’ll leave those individual reviews here.
***** Book One: Succubus Sins*****
“Dark has chased me all my life.” Thorn took a risk with that opening line; if she couldn’t keep the book just as intriguing from there, it’d fall flat. It does not disappoint! The writing is brilliant and the descriptives are beautiful, dark and fascinating.
I discovered Thorn when I read ‘Chasing Fate’ and I knew then I’d need to read all she has to offer. Even coming into it with that attitude, I’m not let down … and I’m easily let down / notoriously hard to please. This book though – let me tell you:
Having gone outside late at night, I didn’t see the lights, traffic, passersby, wildlife, etc. All I could see was the dark alley behind a bar in Seattle… the setting of the last scene I’d read before going out. I wondered what everyone was up to next and for hours, until this book and I met again, it was all I could think of and all I saw. And I was only a few percent of the way in!
That really kept up throughout the book. It does end on a cliffhanger but the next book is available now so that’s no big deal. Really fun, addictive read.
This book gripped me from the start and didn’t let go…
Editing/Proofing:
Well done, seems professional as only a couple typos noted.
Character development:
Thorn does a good job here; having read a little bit of her work prior to this book, the characters I’ve already been exposed to are on point. All characters have individual voices and personalities, something not everyone seems able to pull off.
Formatting:
Super fun and very pretty. This book is definitely easy on the eyes.
Cover:
Stunning. Looks professional and fits the content.
4 stars.
*****Book Two: Siren Sins*****
After being completely hooked into this world in book 1, ‘Succubus Sins’, I of course needed to read on. Book 2 picks up right where book 1 left off and keeps on with the all-absorbing, action-and-drama-packed atmosphere. This trilogy is a drug and I expect I’ll re-read it many times.
There are some really interesting supernaturals in this one, as well as some interesting twists on myths and legends, and I can’t help but appreciate the author and feel a need to consume everything else she’s written (which I’m working on!).
Character development is on point, continuity seems perfect and before I knew it, I was into book 3; this series is never dull!
I enjoyed traveling along with Sarah for a bit, the family drama, the mate drama, and the mystery. Sonya’s still trying to figure her s— out and I’m just along for the ride, enjoying every minute. Too busy devouring all the action to bother trying to make predictions, which is nice.
Editing-wise, book is clean, free of distractions.
Formatting: this book is absolutely gorgeous!
Wishing there was more like this out there!
5 stars
*****Book Three: Vampire Sins*****
Once again, picks up right where the previous book left off, never missing a beat. So glad the whole series is available for me to binge on.
This installment is a swirling ball of chaos; Sonya and her mates sort of hop from one dangerous, life-altering situation to the next, over and over again. They’ve got lots to accomplish, and as it involves the destinies of several of them—and Lilith, as it happens—it’s fun to read along and see the pieces come together.
Thorn weaved a complex, epic plot and no one can accuse her of being one of those RH authors who just writes sex parties. (Speaking of sex, every single time anything sexual occurs there is actually a plot-related reason behind it. Thorn uses sex scenes to aid in telling the story, rather than many who do the opposite.) This trilogy packs depth, so much action and adventure, epic love, corruption, danger … and that’s just to name a few.
The more I read into ‘Vampire Sins’, the more I couldn’t wait to dive into ‘Royal Covens’, the next trilogy in the Blood Stone world. It’ll also leave you wanting Lily’s series, ‘Fortune Academy’ if you haven’t already read it—and I strongly suggest you do read them all, as this world only gets more fun.
They also might just make you think—Thorn has a way of painting scenarios where even the worst villains seem worthy and capable of redemption. The mythology and Christianity tie-ins are brilliantly done; if you’ve discovered this author, you’ll never have time to be bored again.
5 stars
I absolutely loved this book, it was incredibly steamy and action packed it kept me riveted all the way through. The four sins, her mates were intense and were fantastic characters, that I couldn’t help feeling attached to them, and Derek was a lovable rogue that I couldn’t help but like, however I didn’t like Sarah I felt she was just too self involved and wasn’t very empathetic to anyone. I hope there will be more books following about the guardians. theres a lot of potential for a series. Lia Holland’s narration was wonderful and expressive and really helped bring the characters to life. I received this book in exchange for my hpnest review.
ONE DELIGHTFUL COLLECTION!!!
This is one succulent seduction you will not want to miss. Thorn pulled this little treasure together for our unstoppable pleasure. Grab your copy and sit back and enjoy.
SUCUBUS
ONE AMAZING READ!!!
Oh man, talk about spinning. What can I say this is one exciting start to this new hosts of chaos. Thorn is like a tornado that rips through and you can’t move to save your life. She has a style all her own and she wields it better than the magic shes conjuring in her new characters. She has this down to a science. I want her 4 runes to play with. The characters and scenes were intriguing, complex, realistic and a little on the odd side. Hey, I said a little. Its not like they can hear me. Geez. So we have the main major boss herself in town learning all about her gifts and how to bring 4 beasties to their knees. Ok, back to the story. Its starting to get real and she is one bad ass to pull it off. The characters are all very interesting to say the least. And I’m not just talking about the her guys. We do have other sups out there. I can’t wait to see whats coming at us next. So if it comes to a show down between her and evil incarnate who do you think will win? Oh, right not completely immortal. Great job keeping me on my toes and up trying to figure things out. You’re not letting me too close to try and find my answers. Thats ok. Incredible job Thorn, I love the way your bringing this show roaring to life. Fantastic job and thanks for sharing this little gem with us.

ONE ENGAGING EXPERIENCE!!!!
Man, Talk about fireworks, this installment is hotter than an erupting volcano. Step back, take a breather and jump right in. You won’t know what hit you until your head snaps forward once again. This little jewel is definitely one riveting read. Thorn draws us into her imagination and weaves a world around us so tight and consuming until everything else ceases to exist. A whirlwind of emotions and events really pulls those heartstrings and make for one incredible experience. All twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few glitches and bumps here and there pull you deeper into this raging storyline and hard hitting plot. Throw in all the drama, intrigue, uncertainty, fear, danger and suspense and you have one intense, page turning bombshell that grabs your attention and holds it from start to finish. The characters are complex, believable and realistic with such depth it demands respect. The scenes are so graphically detailed and descriptive it’s easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another perfectly. Thorn did a remarkable job bringing this read to life brilliantly. Remarkable job Thorn, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Such a great series!
Snowed in for the weekend? Or in my case a week with the kiddos not in school. This was the perfect way to ignore all the fighting and whining. Yes. I was totally that “No F’s Given” parent this last week.
You’ll get sucked into the worldbuilding. Sonya’s snarky remarks and attitude will keep you entertained and intrigued the rest of the time. Plus…there are some great guys as well. Seriously I couldn’t put it down even if I wanted too. Which I didn’t.
A great series. Sonya finds her 4th but she needs to get them all together. Do you love Vampires and the Supernatural. Then you will love this series. There is Magic and Fantasy. And twists and turns. But will Sonya be able to complete the mission. This is an absolute must read. The Author has done a fantastic job with the characters. And I love the way the personalities are brought out.
