Lady of Darkness

by Melissa K. Roehrich

Our rating

Spice 3/5 Darkness 4/5

Spice: moderate. Darkness: very dark.

Scarlett Monrhoe and her sisters were raised to torture and kill on command, and she is very good at it. Book one is long and stingy with the romance. Readers who push on say the later books are where it catches fire, in every sense.
