Ash’s anxiety and Lonan’s despair were contagious, infecting me more every page turn. I swear I was in danger of a cardiac event…. And it was superb.
Not a plot hole to be had. No questions left unanswered. Got closure for all my favorite supporting characters in this found family. Our bbz deserve EVERYTHING. All the good things.
This is top tier Lily. Yes I love all her books but this trilogy is so special.
Noa Hayles owns me. My fav character. His hilarity is unmatched. The dynamic between he and KC - heathens as PENELOPE IS GETTING A BOOK IM SO HAPPYYYY
Noa Hayles owns me. My fav character. His hilarity is unmatched. The dynamic between he and KC - heathens as Cam would say - is so everything and it REALLY shined in this book.
The development of each relationship really solidified as well, not just between the core couples but between all four men in every different pairing. I am obsessed with them.
I’m not kidding when I say this book will be my entire personality for the foreseeable future. And besides, those were warm up posts for this - my posI’m not kidding when I say this book will be my entire personality for the foreseeable future. And besides, those were warm up posts for this - my post read thoughts.
✨SUMMARY✨ Leia is jilted by her twat waffle boyfriend and goes on a solo cruise only to end up shipwrecked alone on a deserted island. Except it’s not actually deserted so much as isolated from the rest of the world and completely filled with beings from ancient Greek myth - most notably, monsters from 12 labors of Heracles.
Every single character was created with their own personality, way of talking, little quirks and traits that set them apart which is a feat in itself - I was NEVER confused about which human name belonged to which monster - and there was a lot!
The Monsters Ambrose - Nemean Lion aka Daddy Timyn - Hydra aka Brat Krysos - Golden Hind aka mischievous beauty Julius - Boar aka Grumpy dirty talker Vann - Kraken aka WHY AM I HERE?! Zephyr - Stymphalian Bird aka Murder Beak Phillipos - Centaur aka Why Do Humans?! Chamenos - Minotaur aka Sweet Baby Geryon- Giant aka Tantric Trauma Therapist 1 Orthrus- Hellhound aka Tantric Therapist 2 Ladon - Dragon aka Body Autonomy Master Cerberus - Hellhound aka Exhibitionist
This isn’t a RH read so much as it’s a large polycule of bi/pan monsters, some more possessive then others, with established relationships and MANY mated pairs. All of them are bonded in brotherhood, and some more, being mated to not only her but another in the group as well. The way they all lift each other up ...more
LOVED IT! So many thoughts so to prevent epic rambling… we’re gonna go with a SPEED SUMMARY ROUND!
Leia from NYC rooms with her *hilarious* niece IolaLOVED IT! So many thoughts so to prevent epic rambling… we’re gonna go with a SPEED SUMMARY ROUND!
Leia from NYC rooms with her *hilarious* niece Iola, who sends her off on a cruise after being jilted by her douche BF. She ends up ship wrecked on an island full of cursed monsters from Heracles 12 labors.
First she meets Ambrose, the sweetest caregiver ever, and then Timyn the shit stirrer.
Then we have Krysos, the golden boy who is beautiful and also the first love of Ambrose’s life though they are estranged.
Julius comes after that and he is an angry wary grumpasarus.
Vann shows up and he and Timyn are giving vibes.
All this to say, it’s crazy that there are SO MANY CHARACTERS introduced and I actually remember them all PERFECTLY. Including their true forms which I will not tell you ...more
NEVER WANT THIS SERIES TO END OMGGGG If I had to be pick one quote to sum it all up, it’d be this one:

NEVER WANT THIS SERIES TO END OMGGGG If I had to be pick one quote to sum it all up, it’d be this one:
Somehow, the myth of Peter Pan has fallen in love with a Darling girl and his three asshole friends. A different kind of love for each of them, but love just the same.”
Hook and Crocodile coming out of nowhere with that enemies-forced-to-work-together banter really elevated this little cutie. I love them the most....more
Finished Brothers of Reckoning 30 seconds ago & I’m lost in that floaty space where everything is warm & fuzzy & good, where nothing bad matters & canFinished Brothers of Reckoning 30 seconds ago & I’m lost in that floaty space where everything is warm & fuzzy & good, where nothing bad matters & can’t touch me…. a direct result of this book. A completely unexpected but welcome reaction.
Will everyone react this way? Absolutely not. No. But for me, omg I couldn’t have imagined anything better for the series conclusion than what I just read.
INITIAL THOUGHTS Since the very first time I saw Mock mention her writing method - that she’s an intuitive writer - I have been utterly captivated & fascinated by not only her writing process but the sensationally visceral characters her mind channels and churns out. The way these characters seem so real…. It’s an exceptional story telling skill that I have never experienced before her books and this book.. the whole series.. is an example of that.
THE CHARACTERS - Ollie. Omg. I’ve never been more proud of a character than I am of Oliver Briar Randall. His evolution through this series was a BEAUTIFUL thing.
- Darius is wicked smart, and that could easily be forgotten or belittled by his brat behavior and submission, but Wyatt, even when in Daddy mode, trusts Darrys thoughts, gut feelings, plans, and ability to lead even though he’s technically not leading & I really hope that makes sense! that’s something I love about their relationship, that no matter who the “boss” is in their dynamic, they’re strengths remain individual and never generalized. Trying to articulate this is proving difficult but that’s the best I got for now!
- Simon is the glue of this found family, Lakshan is the crucial supporting pillar of the fortress that is Silas Randall. Without these two men, the entire squad would be nothing. No squad. Chaos pain and trauma would reign supreme despite anything Shane or Wyatt would try. Speaking of….
- SHANE! Muh boy said the most words like, EVER out loud in this book. He was not just his normal strong silent sentinel self, but an outspoken and supportive (not that he wasn’t before but it was more silent) way. There was one moment when Silas returned home after a time away and Shane’s reaction to that surprise appearance MELTED ME!!

The man is hilarious - his humor mixed with Daniels stubborn brattitude and Harpers sweetness - basically the 3 best friends anyone could have.
But okay this book isn’t about those three, so I guess I’ll move on.
Eric is Daniels perfect match. Loved this for them. And for Larry and Chanel too ...more
