Review of Seven Sons by Lili St. Germain

18751827
Blurb:
My father was most certainly NOT an innocent man. As the leader of the Gypsy Brothers MC, he was guilty of many things. But he died for a crime that he didn’t commit, framed by an enemy within who then stole his club and everything he had ever worked to protect.

Including my innocence.

When Dornan Ross framed my father, he set into motion a series of events that could never be undone. My father was murdered by Dornan Ross and his sons when I was fifteen years old.

Before my father died, Dornan Ross and his seven sons stole my innocence, branded my skin and in doing so, ensured that their lives would be prematurely cut short. That they would suffer.

I’ve just turned twenty-one, and I’m out for blood. I'm out for revenge.

But I didn't expect to fall for Jase, the youngest brother in the club.

I didn't expect that he would turn my world upside down, yank my heart out of my chest and ride away into the sunset with it.

Now, I'm faced with an impossible choice - Jase, or avenging my fathers death?

Review of Seven Sons

Rating: 2 stars


I got this as a free download from amazon. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I started this book, so I was shocked with how descriptive this book was.

The main character Juliette had a tough life and now she’s out for revenge. At first I took Juliette for a kickass heroine who would serve justice on a plate but that’s not what I got. Instead I watched a broken and damaged women walk on a tight rope while the child inside her roared.

The scenes of rape I found so disturbing and the men no better than animals, every single one of them - no exceptions.
When Juliette comes face to face with the man that had killed her father, raped her and told his sons to the same, my stomach turned at Juliette actions. To get close to him in order to have her revenge she sleeps with him in the most crudest way. I didn’t get it, as if she wasn’t damaged enough.

I myself found this book to be disturbing. I often feel when I read from the perspective of a damaged individual and they exact their revenge on the person who inflicted the heartache on them, I get a sense of relief and it adds a happy ending. But Seven Sons has no happy ending in my opinion. It just allows us to watch a damaged soul be tormented.

This is the first book in this series. It wasn’t for me but others may enjoy it.
