A Tethered Chrysalis

The Gilded Butterfly Chronicles, Book 1

My name is Brooklyn Dawn Lacey, and I’ve let my past control me for too long, letting those wounds on my soul fester. After a painful wake up call, I finally have the courage I need to get out and follow my dreams. That's when I meet the men that can help me heal my broken wings and teach me to fly again.

All my careful planning, all the work I’ve done to get my life back threatens to come crashing down on me, as Hell bears down on the one person who means the most to me.

I've been through Hell and back before, and I'm not scared of the Devil anymore. I’m not running away from him but right to him.

I'm not the weak little girl he once preyed on. I'm not alone, not trapped, and not helpless. It's time to see if the Devil can take the pain he so loves to dish out.

Happy I stuck with the series.

I’m happy I stuck with the series and gave the second book a listen. Although I do not like the narrating of this first book. And it seemed repetitive at times and the timeline of events was abnormally fast. The ending had a good hook (or whatever it’s called) though and it had me wanting more. Definitely a huge change of events I was NOT expecting. I’m almost done with book two and it’s been a great read!

OMGods! This story!!!

This was absolutely amazing! I loved the story, the narration was a bit odd at times, but not bad. I loved all the voices and that I could distinguish one character from another by them. If you like poly/reverse Harem books with a kick*ss FMC, you’ll f*cking love this!

**Please, always check trigger warnings. This book does have them.**
I enjoyed the story and it's characters. The narration was new to me, and it did take a couple chapters to get used to the female character's voice. I listened to the whole book in one sitting and can't wait to listen to book 2.
