something is missing.
I think there was so much world and character building and time hopping that there wasn’t enough interaction with and between the characters.
Hopefully the next one won’t be like that since it’s all been laid out in this book

Obsessed
Yeah I’m obsessed with this book, the characters, the plot. It’s all so amazing. I normally don’t go too dark, but I decided to try this.I was not sorry. The characters alone make it worth it. There is development with the characters, but more with the plot. The pace was a little fast, but it flowed well.

This is a dark read (though, there is a small amount of comedic relief with the characters banter.) On the run and in hiding from becoming someone's sex slave, Hailee and her father find themselves in a small-ish town and working with the local police. One of whom is assigned to the task of playing babysitter. Once he meets the beautiful young woman, he has no complaints. Neither do his six other brothers. The seven of them take on the role of judge, jury and executioner when it comes to people who tend to hurt women and children. Known to the locals as the Deadly Seven (though supposedly no one knows their real identities.) Each of the seven has a unique specialty which helps them in their crusades. While the book is centered on them all keeping her safe, what really keeps you interested is how the relationships form between Hailee and each of the seven individually, and as a whole. Yes there is sexual content, and mention of things that have happened in the past that may be triggers for some readers, including non/dubious consent, and abuse. This book is suitable for mature readers. It is part of a series and ends with a cliffhanger. It alternates between the POVs of all the key players, but each change is clearly labeled so not confusing. If you are more nit-picky, there were a few editing errors. Nothing that throws you off though.

2.5 stars because I liked the concept.
However there were way too many plot holes in this story. I know this is fiction but zero parts of this story were even a tad believable.
I love RH but 7 men? It was way too hard to follow each POV. Plus the 7 deadly sins references were completely unnecessary to the story. It didn’t add anything to it.
One thing I did like was that there was already an MM relationship within the group, it would be cool to see how that plays out if this was written correctly.

Completely unrealistic with how the characters act towards each other and how the father handles her relationship with seven men while in WITSEC…but yes, I am reading the next one.
