Her single-minded commitment to her duty, the way she never loses her brain, and how she handles men who screw up… I’m here for it. She’s the reason the book gets 3 stars and not 4. This is one of the very few books I’ve read where the author tells me that the heroine is a bad bitch, and I actually believe it 100%. Hades has got to juggle these three men while running her criminal empire, looking after her headstrong younger sister Persephone, and dealing with the fact that a man she killed years ago is apparently back and wants revenge. Also hovering is her best friend Zayden ‘Zed’ de Rosa, her second-in-command, who’s always been a manwhore but is now acting weirdly. But she ends up having a one-night-stand with him to get Cass out of her system, only they can’t stay away from each other, so one night turns into many. She knows he’s younger than her, an innocent, and a soon-to-be stripper employee at the club. When she’s turned down by rival gang leader Cass because he thinks he’s too old for her, at 34, she ends up drinking alone in one of the clubs she owns.Įnter Lucas Wilder.

Yes, heroine – not a spoiler, you find out pretty much on page one that she’s the woman on the cover, even though the MK series led you to believe she was male.
Hades is probably the most genuinely badass heroine I’ve encountered in a while.
THIS is the heroine I wanted Madison Kate to be. I’m called Hades for a reason, after all. So, what do I do, when it’s my own weakness that places us all in danger? When I let sex cloud my judgment, and my people pay the price? I’ll do anything to keep my empire safe and thriving. Now, I live, eat, sleep and breathe Timberwolves.
We changed, we grew, we evolved and came out stronger than ever.
To the general public, the Tri-State Timberwolves were extinct.īut that couldn’t have been further from the truth. My new recruits eagerly proved themselves in spreading false news, in covering our tracks. I let the media twist and distort the story. The streets outside the Wolves HQ ran red with the blood of the old guard, and not one of those members loyal to my father were spared mercy. Five years ago, I masterminded the infamous massacre of the Tri-state Timberwolves.
