The captivating third installment of the Se7en Sinners Series by New York Times Bestselling author, S.L. Jennings.They say you’re never truly ready for Death until it’s staring you down, its cold, bony fingers outstretched and scratching against your fragile mortality.I thought I was ready the day my own mother tried to kill me. Perhaps I was ready the moment I was born.But as I peer into the … born.
But as I peer into the chilling void of Death, breath shallow and heartbeat sluggish, I know that it can’t end like this. I was made for a purpose.
And that purpose is Legion.
Now that we’re fighting the battle of our lives, a war that could eliminate mankind, I see that purpose as clear as the whorls of dark ink etched in his skin.
Realms are colliding. Alliances are forming. And my heart is being torn in two.
I know the code the Se7en live by.
Kill one to save a million.
But maybe it’s not me who was meant to die.
Maybe it’s the man I thought I could save…the man who once saved me.
The man I was created to kill.

Once again, so many things happened in this book & I loved almost all of it! (Sorry, not sorry, Adriel… I just can’t love you!)
Family ties were revealed. Light was wielded. Magic was siphoned. Sexual tension still reigned supreme. Hearts were ripped out (in more ways than one). Angel b*tches turned green with envy & illness. A rescue mission failed. A second rescue mission was formed. Readers were given another cliffhanger ending…
EEK! I devoured it & cannot wait to one-click the next book in the series, Fallen Reign. Yass… More Lucifer, baby!
Okay so where do I even start????? This series just keeps getting better with every book. I was reading this book as fast as I could turn the pages and it still wasn’t fast enough.
Nobody writes PNR like SL Jennings. I mean who else can make me not only like the devil himself but love him. Lucifer is delicious in this story. Dirty evil bugger that he is. I loved everything about him. Eden has to grow up a lot in this story and I felt very protective of her. Now L, well L has the most changes of all.
The gang’s all back for this one plus some extras to keep things interesting.
It’s hard to write a review without giving away the story so I will say this:
Amazing character development
Witty dialogue
HAF chemistry (& not just E with L)
Major plot twists
Kick ass action scenes
Raw emotions that definitely needed tissues
An ending that left me staring at the wall
This book is FANTASTIC
“We all just want to belong to someone who loves us despite our demons. Just someone to hold our hand and make us feel less alone in this big, wide universe full of unseen terrors. ”
So this one was a roller coaster. I didn’t like it as much as the first two books but I still loved it. I am also shipping Niko with Eden. Yes I know she is with Legion but I am starting to like Niko more.
This had more dark moments. Even though Eden had escaped Lucifer, he seems nothing compared to what Uriel and Legion have planned.
“This is what I was created for. To betray. To destroy. To kill. I am the weapon to make Legion fall to his knees. And I’ve just been activated.”
Now why this was dark it still had it’s humor moments. Niko was a good many of those moments. I did like Lucifer and his taughtenings the most.
“Does father know of your transgressions? Thous shall not be a deadbeat dad has to be one of the commandments. ”
There are times I just can’t take Lucifer serious because the nickname sometimes is Lucy. But I am starting to like him. He’s growing on me. Whether that is good or bad I don’t know just yet. Probably bad.
I need to know if there is another book. There has to be. If not that is the worst ending to a series. If so and more than likely there is another book I need it. I need it now!!!
Wicked Ruin (Se7en Sinners, #3) by S.L. Jennings OMG The beginning of this book, what a ride and what a surprise, the person trying to help Eden I was mega shocked at there identity, ultimately helping Eden, even if it was like in a totally batshit crazy way.
Like that was totally overkill but the sentiment was there.
And again OMG!!!! I’m agog this cannot be a good thing in the long run.
So This book turns everything on its head, Karmas a bitch and now its Eden struggling to keep Her legion to her self and he is definitely not the Demon she has fallen for.
“L is dead. Samael is dead. I was remade—reborn into what I was before. The very thing I’ve hated and rebelled against for centuries. The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. However, the great dragon was not called the Devil, as man believed. He was called Legion. “I am the Legion of Lost Souls. And I have risen once again.”
What we have here and now is a much darker Legion one struggling to control his baser instincts and his lost souls are ultimately draining him dry and poisoning his whole self.
What else here, Well Nico is back and I’m loving the friendship between him and Eden.
Adriel is now flesh and I’m really not liking her that much, actually, if I’m honest not at all.
and we also get to see more of the Watcher as well as there hiding out at her mansion, like neutral ground and all.
Lucifer here is a much more complex character, still playing his games but we see a much deeper version of himself, which was definitely enlighting.
This instalment was all about the upcoming battle and almost seems like a hopeless cause with the odds stacked against them.
So “Wicked Ruin” as in previous books ends with a cliffy and it’s a biggie.
The car crash rush to the finish was horrifying and tragic to behold and I was glued to the very last line, it was so riveting I couldn’t look away.
I will leave you with this quote from Eden and this pretty much sums up the whole ending here.
This is what I was created for. To betray. To destroy. To kill. I am the weapon to make Legion fall to his knees. And I’ve just been activated.
What a finish I need that next book like NOW!!!!

Oh my! This one was worth then wait and then some. There is absolutely no way to write a review and not give something away. I just haven’t been able to fully soak in the whole book let alone review it. I’m just going to say it had everything I love from PNR, to angst, and layers, and smoking hot chemistry, etc etc. This is a must series for all PNR fans. GRAB IT NOW! I’m so ready for the next book.
