"This was my first dark romance, and it really set the bar high! I loved the uniqueness of the club. There really was never a dull moment throughout the book. I read it so fast because I was dying to know what happened next. I wish we would’ve got a deeper perspective of Evelyn and Dante‘s relationship. I can’t wait for the second book to come out."

-Breanna Z.

““Stained in Sin” was an absolutely gripping read—I couldn’t put it down! Every chapter left me eager to see what would happen next. By the time I reached the end, I was genuinely sad it was over, though the finale sets up the next installment perfectly. I can’t wait to dive back into this world. Ivy Throne has a real gift for creating characters that feel so real and relatable. A solid 10/10!
