Synopsis
Some Family Trees Should Be Burned…
Greer Girls are special. Greer Girls are rare. Greer Girls are central to the secret Order of Belial.
Sophie Greer knows none of this. All she knows is that her now ex-boyfriend cheated on her, she’s alone working in Paris, and her mysterious billionaire boss, Edward Hughes, is way too interested in her life.
But when Sophie is kidnapped in Moscow while on a business trip, she’s plunged into the dark underbelly of the global elite and a sinister secret society with deep ties to her family; ties that lead to revelations darker than anything Sophie could have imagined.
Betrayed by the man who raised her, and targeted by the illustrious Hughes family, only one thing is certain—family history can be deadly. If Sophie is to survive, she must decide who to trust and what to believe, or risk being crushed beneath the weight of the all-powerful secret Order of Belial.
Review
I received an advanced review copy for free from Book Sirens. This review is entirely voluntary.
Oh, this book was so good. I could barely put it down.
I wanted a perfect spooky book for October and boy, did I ever find it.
This was quite the visceral book full of twists, turns and some of the absolutely most disgusting, depraved human beings in existence.
I especially enjoyed Sophie. She was incredibly multifaceted. On one hand, she was shy and soft. She cared. On the other, she was hard and calculating. The fact she would have to make a choice that could be the beginning of a new, darker age or the absolute destruction of the current one made those sides even more prominent.
I have zero complaints except that I have to wait to see where Sophie goes next with this story, haha.
