Morally grey? Try pitch black so dark they nicknamed him The Reaper.

Axel Hawthorne—Axe, is more monster than man. A bloodthirsty assassin with no mercy, no heart, no soul. The nightmare lurking in the underworld, my father commands. No one escapes his wrath. And now? I'm his. Trapped in his sick game of revenge. There's no escape. No hope.

The Sovereign—a secret society of assassins driven by power, greed, and bloodshed—are the shadows in broad daylight, striking when you least expect it. I was born to serve them. My father's legacy is my burden. Now, his filthy greed has bound me to the deadliest Sovereign of all—The Reaper.

The Sovereign owns my existence—my body, my life. But now... he's coming for my soul.

Great spice. Well written characters and plot. The female character is strong. I love the story and the narrators voices hit the mark. It is not the darkest romance I have read. I am buying the next book in ther duet.

The chemistry between the main characters sizzles.

The story 5 stars all the way but the narrators voices for the other characters really bothered me! I couldn’t take his girl voice and her guy voice seriously. I love the story and love Saige’s writing though!

I love Axel

I loved this book, read it twice already!
Axe is one of the biggest pitch blacks MMCs I ever read. This book is heavy on violence and smut so check your triggers.
Love the audiobook! Can't wait for part 2!

This book is too good!
