Being rich is great until you become the saint of Arcadia.
Gentleman.
Charmer.
All-star.
They call me a saint, but if they knew the lies, the fallacies,
and what truths I hide, I’d be labeled a proclaimed sinner.
I lie, do all the bad deeds, especially if it does right by her.
She’s the darkness but also the light.
He’s my downfall but also my redemption.
Two opposites, but somehow everything I’ve fought for.
Earning her, saving him, it’s all I can think of.
Saint or sinner, I’ll win her.
Death or life, I’ll protect him.
Truth or lie, I’ll save them.
Arcadia isn’t prepared for the war its wrought.
Good thing I’m a fighter.
No one said I’d bow down to an unworthy king.

OMG! Another epic story!

I absolutely loved Here Lies a Corpse, and as soon as I reached that last page, I immediately one-clicked the next book in the series. That cliffhanger nearly did me in, and I was dying to find out what happens next to Colton and the boys. So, as soon as it showed up on my Kindle, I went right in without even taking a break.

Here Lies a Saint is the second book in the series, and it’s flawlessly written and completely spellbinding. There were so many twists throughout the book that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! I was compelled to figure out who was telling the truth, and the multiple POVs were extremely helpful. It helped decipher some of the character’s motives. However, as soon as I thought I figured something out, the author threw us another twist!

Here Lies a Saint is flipping fantabulous, and it’s so dang hot! It’s definitely one of my favorite series, and I’m dying to read the next book in the series!

Here Lives a Corpse is the first book in the Here Lives series written by author C.L. Matthews. I stumbled upon this epic dark bully romance, and I rearranged my whole schedule to fit it in. And let me tell you, I became so completely engrossed in this amazing story that I snarled at anyone who dared to disturb me!

Here Lives a Corpse tells the story of Colton Hudson, who is still morning the loss of her brother Cassidy. Colt believes that he was killed, and she’s now on a mission to find out who’s responsible. However, someone has covered it up, and she’s suspicious of everyone. Especially the five guys on the Student Government (Lennox “Lux” DeLeon, Tennison “Ten” Delamore, Ross “Dare” McAllister, Bridger “Ridge” Clemente, and Jordon “Walker” Winthrop).

The storyline was completely spellbinding, and I did not want to put it down! I’m dying to fill you in on what happened, but this is one book that you have to read for yourself! All I’ll tell you is to grab a drink and some snacks, find a quiet place, and prepare yourself for an epic ride!

We all have demons, some of us know how to befriend them rather than defy them.
They always speak of me… whispers of a devil with a charming smile.
But they don’t know me, what truly lies beneath.
I’m a monster with the face of a boy, married to the darkness, harvested by the past, and saved by none.
My intentions aren’t clear, but the murky water my hopes died in is.
I’ll save her since no one else can.
She’ll hate the process.
They’ll run for their salvation.
The Vestige won’t take any prisoners.
Taking away her choices wasn’t intentional, tying her hands wasn’t permanent, but stealing every part of her that matters was always my goal.
In the end, I’ll demolish the meek castle they’ve built, proving that the fixer will always outwin the weak.
Screw princes and kingdoms.
The devil always played harder and smarter.
She’s mine, they’ve only forgotten their place.
