I never lived a day until he came along and found me…

Forced to compete for our Chapter Lord’s hand in marriage, I silently pray through each and every ritual that I will not be chosen. But when my nightmare becomes a reality, my life turns into nothing short of hell.

My dear Lord husband chose me because he needs an heir. He doesn’t care for my needs, he doesn’t even see me as a person.

I’m a thing to own, a vessel to use.

But amongst the horror there’s one shining light; Devin. One of my Chapter Guards. I’m not meant to look at him, let alone know his name.

And as the months drag on my apparent lack of fertility pushes my husband to more reckless measures. Measures that throw us all into a web of lies, deceit, and danger that can only end in one outcome.

And when it all comes to a head, I’m left with a choice; save myself or save the man I love?

Ultimately, there are no winners here. After all, the Brethren never forgive and the Brethren never forget...

This is Devin and Paitlyn's story.

Degradation is book three in The Brethren Series and trust me when I say, the title fits this book perfectly. Do NOT go into this book thinking this is a dark romance. In no way is this a romance novel, nor was it intended to be. It’s pitch black, and horror with no HEA. I felt this story had more of a mysterious thriller vibe, that I appreciated.

Paitlyn and Devin’s story did not disappoint in the darkness category. Once again, I found myself getting a tad squeamish or uncomfortable at times, while trying to understand the ‘Why’s’. This book was extremely dark, twisted and heartbreaking. I felt so much sympathy for all that the FMC endured. The abuse, humiliation, and betrayal were brutal. It’s definitely not for the weak; however, there’s a sense of beauty in the forgiveness aspect, even if that forgiveness may have been forced.

How is that each book in The Brethren Lords series is equally pitch black and f*cked up. Degradation is pitch black, check the trigger warnings extremely carefully. If you’ve read the other books in the series then you will enjoy this one as well and we finally get Devin’s story. Devin (MMC) is quite unhinged and a bodyguard for Chapter Lord. Pailtyn’s(FMC) be forced to marry the Chapter Lord, and he’s old, gross and crazy. I’ve read a lot of books and I’ve never heard of metal spikes as an adornment on a man’s junk. And I shall have nightmares about it, hahahaha. But at the same time I’m kinda hot for Devin, I like crazy and unhinged. And the ending left so many doors open. I can’t wait to see how things will play out.

ALC REVIEW:
STORY: 4.5 🌟
NARRATIONS: 5 🌟
This is the 3rd book in the series and I've been just sucked in from the beginning. I went a little wonky starting with 2 then 1 and now 3 😆. I enjoyed the 2nd one so much i needed to go back ...
This is in no way any type of romance book, heavy pitch black with no hea. The things that happen to the fmc are horrible and nobody deserves what she went through. The mc is an obsessed cruel man that does things that are unforgivable... Please make sure you read your triggers, even those of you who think they don't have any ... my group of peeps thrive in the darkness but it's rough ... story though phenomenal and can't wait for the next one!

well hell

Degradation is book #3 in the Brethren Lords series and it was 🔥!! I do have to say please check the trigger warnings because it is PITCH BLACK! Devin is part of the personal guard for Gunther (the douchebag chapter lord) who is married to Pailtyn and he becomes obessed and if you’ve read the other 2 books in the series then you know what a Blake brothers obsession looks like. 😅.

Roxy Isles and Derek Duvall voice these characters so well. This was my first audiobook by both of them and they were 🔥!! Blue nose did a fabulous job producing this audio as always. Thank you Ellie Sanders for writing books for us depraved souls! 🤪

Another Obsessed Blake Brother!! 😏😮‍💨

This was a dark and wild ride. Tell me why i really enjoyed the MMC so much, i thought he had just a touch of redeemable energy. The poor FMC really doesn't get her HEA but it sort of had to end that way. I overall enjoyed this book just as much as the first two!

Great series!
