BLURB:
Once upon a time, six children stumbled upon a wild place hidden deep in the moors, shrouded by secrets and fog. There we played a game among the roses and the thorns that would change us forever, that would follow us the rest of our lives. A game that ended with a hard kiss in the rain and tattered flower petals fluttering from above…

And twelve years later, we’re back.

The heir.
The dreamer.
The priest.
The genius.
The socialite.
The saint.

I’m not going to dream of a forgotten place covered in thorns every night.
I won’t be enchanted by Thornchapel and its glossy, glamorous people. I’m not going to fall in love or have my heart torn in two.

I’m not telling the truth.

Because as this place slowly tightens its coil of secrets and thorns around us, as we uncover the knotted mysteries that grow here, the six of us begin to unravel into filthy, holy pleasure and pain. Fulfilling the promise we once made as children in those whispering ruins, and awakening a fate that will either anoint us or leave us in ashes…

REVIEW:
This is a tough story to review, it's hard for me to pinpoint how to describe what goes on in this story without giving too much away. There is a lot of angst, mystery, passion, smoking hot sex and chemistry, but the true character is Thornchapel itself. All the characters a uniquely twisted together, connected by the parents and Thornchapel bringing them together. This is definitely not a book I've ever read before, each character has their own story, their own connection, their own darker past, its heavy and emotional and holy moly did that just happen smoking hotness.

If you are a fan of Sierra Simone then you are in for a treat, if you think her Camelot series messed with your emotions and mindset then this one is going to do a number. This is much darker, much more twisted and the character that much more damaged. As many people have already mentioned there are some triggers in this story, so please be warned.

In the end, this is only the beginning, there is so much that I'm looking forward to finding out after the ending we got. It not so much a cliffhanger as its more of a get ready kinda end. Again I don't want to give anything away, but this was very kinky, very erotic, very much will make you blush and panties will melt. All the characters are going to blow your mind and shock you, and yes even the priest, yes even the virgin, and yes mostly definitely yes even the dark and moody men. There were some parts that threw me off a little, or was a little much and confused me, so I'm hoping that will be cleared up in the next book. So gird your loins and get ready for a kind of story I don't think you'll be prepared for.
