But I was wrong.
So very wrong.
And now I have to live with the tangled mess my actions have created.
There are no winners in the war of treachery and hate.
But if you’re soulless enough, you might just survive.

Ladies and Gentleman…. Ivy Fox has done it again!!! This was another amazing book from this talented author! There were so many emotions throughout this book that I wasn’t expecting. Some yes, but not all. I cant really say anything else on this as I don’t want to give away any spoilers.
In book 1, we meet Snow and learn about her life and her wretched mother. Everything changed for Snow in the first book due to her mothers greediness. This book is no different except even more shit gets thrown at Snow and she refuses to give up even at her worst.
The Grayson Brothers… I love each one of them! They see Snow go through everything unimaginable in this book and I think they start to notice she is tougher than they originally thought. I love how much Rome grows in the book! I was so happy to see a different side to him. As for the other two, they are still pissing me off with the way they are acting.
This book is so much darker than book one and I recommend to read the warning on the book before reading as there are trigger warnings. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
I absolutely loved Soulless. This series just gets better and better.
Ivy Fox is able to to take me on an emotional rollercoaster, that left me with such a book hangover.
I am anxiously waiting for Faithless to see how it will all end.
No spoilers of any kind included.
So this is all I’m going to say about Soulless and that is I thought it was good and I’m going to leave it at that.
I’m not really into bully romance but this book kept me interested enough that I couldn’t put it down.
But I am going to recommend this book because like I said it kept me interested so of course I’ll recommend.
Ivy has done it once again with another amazing book release! Soulless it’s truly amazing from start to finish. Once I picked up this book I couldn’t put it down. We start out in the beginning of the book where book one pretty much left us with that torturous cliffhanger. We see how Rome takes the responsibility in telling everyone what needs to be done I don’t want to get into too much detail and give away this amazing story but we see Snow and her guys drift further apart while Rome and her get much closer. It definitely takes us on an emotional rollercoaster and in the end things seem to be getting better between the four of them until the end when we’re left with another heart stopping cliffhanger. All I know is I cannot wait for the next book to come out I’m dying to find out what happens in the end. Ivy is truly an amazing artist when it comes to writing and you will not be disappointed with this book or series if you haven’t started it yet! I suggest you starting it as soon as possible you’ll fall in love with the characters in the story as much as the rest of us have.
Firstly, as I said in my review of Heartless, I am still #teamRoman all the way. I just knew Ivy wouldn’t let me down. There is so much depth and detail put into her characters in this book. And I loved that even the side characters you get to know so well. (Anyone else have their fingers crossed for an Elle spin-off?!)
I could not put this book down. I actually read it twice before I could even grasp words that I wanted to put into this review. Ivy is a terrible, wonderful person for creating these works of art and anguish. I love reading an amazing book like this, something that truly makes you FEEL. And not just those cute, fuzzy feelings. The messed up, makes you mad, sad and then happy all in one. The ones that really make you feel alive. This was one of those books for me, this whole series so far. There’s no predictability, I kept wondering what was going to happen next the whole time. But I am 110% along for the ride, and I can’t wait to see what the series conclusion will hold.
“No one can rob you of your power . Only you can give it away.”
In a world of the elite; power and money rule but only when you allow someone the power. Soulless is not just about one person but about how one event changes everything for so many. Read to find out how Snow and and the Grayson siblings handle the aftermath of one horrible night. The journey isn’t easy and there definitely some twists and shocking moments.
From the moment I finished reading the very first sentence of this book, I was mentally writing my review.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that the first chapter is going to move your soul! The book in it’s entirety reads and FEELS like poetry for your soul.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE BOOK OF THE YEAR TO DATE.
In my review for the first of this series, Heartless, I mentioned that it felt slower in the beginning and then picked up steam towards the end and how the end of it was just amazing. The writing in book one, Heartless, is just as beautiful but I was just impatient while reading it. I feel like I really should go back and re-read it again because I feel like I somehow didn’t give it as much love as it deserved.
I was prepared to feel the same way with book two; impatient. Especially after that killer cliffhanger at the end of Heartless! But, nope. I actually had to take my time with this. There were so many emotions being experienced that I had to pause and gather myself.
It went from breathtakingly soulful and squeezing my heart to ALL OF THAT on repeat. The entire book.
Every single word is perfection.
Every single sentence moved me.
Every single scene reached out and buried itself within my heart and mind.
This book may be titled Soulless but it is filled with so much soul that you will finish this book feeling like you are BURSTING from the inside out with so many emotions; some you probably didn’t even know you had or maybe some you didn’t even realize you were capable of experiencing.
SOULLESS IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION.
I am in awe at the talent made obvious within these pages; Ivy Fox has changed me with this book. I am changed for the better. I am changed from the inside out. Her words poured in through the cracks within my inner self and wove themselves tightly around each broken piece; attaching themselves to me. They have left an imprint on my soul that will last forever.
A lifeline smeared upon the floor, a girl broken and the night isnt one easily forgotten.
Twin hearts once belonged to her. Now one is rebelling and the other treating her like glass.
The eldest who broke her heart, and her world, the dark knight, steps upto the plate.
But to do what, to be what …?
My head is spinning, my heart is screaming and my body, well it’s on fire!
So many broken souls, lost wandering needing a direction.
This broke my heart to see the characters that were once so full of life and love now with empty eyes and closed off hearts.
Everything starts and ends with her and I hated how everything was falling apart it was devastating to witness it all.
The twins became strangers to me, I didnt know what they were going to do next!
Rome the eldest brother whom Infuriated me in Heartless became the hero of my heart.
His actions made me swoon and sigh. He completely stole the show!
Three boys stole my heart and now they hold it captive thanks to Ivy Fox!
Another exciting, dramatic and down right steamy installment centred around Snow.
Its going to kill me waiting on Faithless the next book!
This book is a great follow up to the first. It has the perfect amount of everything. Mystery, angst, love and drama. It’s written perfectly! It hits some hard subjects but it’s done with tact. This is a for sure read! Loved!
After the cliffhanger of an ending in book 1 book 2 hits the ground running by continuing with the fallout of what happened. As well as how Holland, Roman, Ollie and Ash cope with the repercussions of that. I though the last book was great but this one tops that one for sure. Loved that Roman started to show his softer side especially with Holland. All the characters in this series are so well written and believable that you cant help but be sucked into each book to the very end. This one left me with another knockout cliffhanger! Damn! Cant wait for book 3
Man first I love how the guys eyes are fully opened in this book. Stinks that Holland has to go through such a terrifying event but man is she a fighter! I’m kind of at a loss for words because of the way the book ended.
Can’t wait for book 3!
This book is everything!
Before I started this book, I was HOPING so hard that this book would measure up to the first! Boyyyy, was I so wrong. This book far EXCEEDED my expectations. Ivy outdid herself with this one, readers! If you are considering whether to read this book, or even this series, put down your current read and start it as soon as possible.
The writing in it’s self was so flawless and captivating. Her words truly reach in and grab your heart. These characters and their growth was something amazing for me… Ivy doesn’t tie it up in a nice pretty bow for you. She brought these characters to life and made them true to who THEY were. It takes a a special author to let the characters guide her, rather than her guide the characters. For me, that is what makes this series stand out from the rest.
Soulless, was everything. Thanks for this amazing book Ivy, there are not enough word I can give for this. It truly touched me!
This is the second book in the Privileged of Pembroke High series and it was amazing! The book has a great story, is fast paced, full of suspense, sad, sexy and is full of awesome characters. I was hooked the minute I started reading and I couldn’t put it down. I cannot say enough about this writer and I highly recommend her books and I can’t wait to read more about Snow and her men in the next book Faithless!
Oh my goodness. I know every time I open a book by this author I’m in for a wild ride and this time is no different. There are so many twists and turns, emotional turmoil and love. Snow is an exceptionally strong woman surrounded by strong willed men. There are so many more questions! I’m dying for he next book
This is fantastic once again Ivy makes you feel every emotion from each character. Rome finally falls in Love, Asher and Ollie are fighting their demons but wow what a rollarcoaster of a ride this will leave you crying but you will not want to stop reading… Wow can not wait for the next installment
I NEED TO KNOW!!! Heartless (book 1) to Soulless (book 2) to Faithless (soon to be book 3). Oh, how this book gutted me. I’m going out on a limb here & say every reader out there including me are waiting with bated breath for the conclusion to Snow, Rome, Ash & Ollie.
This book is a killer emotionally. Ivy has out done her self. This story will have you begging for more. Snow has so much to recover from. She is so strong though and doesn’t give up. I am really falling for Roman. This book really lets you see him for who he is. All of the boys have had a lot of issues due to their father. Hopefully they will all be able to heal. The ending of this book is a real doozie. It will take your breath away.
Oh. My. Gosh. This book was incredible from the first page. I loved the first book, but man, this was so much more. I love Snow’s main love interest in this. They are so good together and deserve happiness. Their relationships, even though they are working on them, are perfect. The bad guys are starting ago all get what they deserve. I can’t imagine what twists and turns are coming next.
Just really loved this and I’m so in love with these characters. So good, truly.
5 Well-Deserved Stars! I am at a loss for words. This second installment of the Privileged of Pembroke was beautifully written, enthralling, engaging, suspenseful, and hot & steamy!!! Hands down one of the best series I’ve ever read!!!! There are really good stories in this world, but then there are stories like this. Stories that make you FEEL the pain of the characters, laugh with them, love with them, befriend them. Stories that are so well written that the characters and scenes come to life, and leave you feeling like you’re hungover when the story ends. This series is the latter. Hands down one of the best series I’ve ever read, and it’ll be one that I think of and remember time and time again. You are an amazing, beautiful writer Ivy Fox!
With the release of every new book, Ivy Fox cements her position as one of my all-time favorite authors. I abhor books that make me feel all emotional and sh**, but she definitely knows how to touch my mind, heart and soul with her prose. She makes me want to savour every syllable of every word and while I know she will most likely break my heart in a bazillion pieces, I know she will put it back together again.
The first book in this series left me shattered and broken and that was before the major cliffhanger was snuck in. I read and reread it, imprinting the characters in my soul, coming up with theories for the sequel that would surely make me feel even more. And again, the author did not disappoint at all. She dove right back into the moment where Heartless left off, giving us some answers causing some relief, but leaving us in the aftermath of said situation and the emotions that are running wild. She surprised me and yet she didn’t. Soulless shows how skilled this author really is, being in tune with each of the characters she created, and making their reactions so natural and in line with who they are without being predictable.
Reading book one left me with some clues on what to expect in Soulless, but the execution and development of the plot as per the author are way beyond what my puny mortal brain could ever come up with. This book blows my mind. I would never have expected to love Rome from the first page of this book. But I did.
The first part of this book is rather slow-paced, which is necessary to create the right atmosphere and deal with the different characters and their emotions. But once the pace picks up, Ivy takes us on a rollercoaster ride that literally made my heart throb like I was in an actual rollercoaster. This book had it all… It made me blink away a tear, made me yell profanities at my screen, it made me fall in love, made me sad and happy, made me want to punch a wall,… Ivy Fox is an evil genius who surpassed all my expectations with this book and I am on the edge of my seat to find out what will happen next.
Brownie points for Elle, Chad and Saint. I already love them and can’t wait to read their story!
