Jegudiel
Deadly Virtues # 2
Tillie Cole
Release Date: June 1st, 2021

They are the Fallen.
 
A brotherhood of murderers whose nature compels them to kill. But guided by their leader, Gabriel, the Fallen have learned to use their urges to rid the world of those it is better off without.
Control. Diel has spent his entire life under it. His childhood years were spent in the sadistic captivity of the Brethren. Now the Fallen are free, but the monster that lives inside Diel is not—can not be. The darkness within is curbed by an electric collar, the only thing that stops Diel from killing everyone in his path.
Diel’s monster yearns for freedom—the freedom to tear apart Brethren priests, as many as possible, one after the other in a frenzied, liberating spree. When Diel is granted a taste of that freedom, he expects bloodlust, violence, death.
He didn’t expect to find her.
The Fallen are not the only ones chasing the destruction of the Brethren. They were not the only ones to suffer at the priests’ hands. This Diel discovers when he stumbles upon Noa, second in command of the Coven, a group of women who are intent on bringing the Brethren down.
From the second they collide, Noa seems to understand Diel in a way that no one ever has before. She is unafraid of his rage, the bloodthirsty monster that dwells within him.
Because there is a darkness inside Noa too, and it recognises the one in Diel as if it is the missing half of her soul. For years she has tried to suppress it, but as she is inescapably drawn to the fury-filled man in the collar, she starts to wonder if she can keep up the fight.
She starts to wonder if she even should…

Wow! Absolutely unforgettable!

Jegudiel is the second book in the Deadly Virtues series written by author Tillie Cole. Each book in the series focuses on a different couple; however, there’s an underlining storyline that continues throughout the series.  Therefore, you’ll need to read the series chronologically, starting with The Fallen: Genesis, which is the prequel.

This series is absolutely captivating, and I’ve been dying for the next book in the series! Oh, and let me tell you, Jequdiel was well worth the wait!

I wish I could fill you in on everything, but this is one series that you’ll need to experience yourself! However, I can tell you that Jegudiel has all of the feels! Love, pain, heartbreak, and surprising twists! So, grab a drink, some snacks, and buckle yourself in for an epic ride!

THE FALLEN: GENESIS
A Deadly Virtues Prequel
MUST be read before RAPHAEL (Deadly Virtues: book one)
Release Date: May 29th, 2019

IN THE BEGINNING…

They told them they were evil.
They told them they were possessed by demons.
They told them that darkness ran in their veins.

Holy Innocents Home for Children is a haven for orphaned boys who have nothing and no one. The priests watch over them, educate them, raise them in the family of the church.

Except for some.

Seven of the orphans are no ordinary boys. They attract the attention of the priests for their acts of violence, of bloodlust. The priests realize these boys are drawn to the darkness.

And the priests are no ordinary priests. They are the Brethren, a secret sect who believe themselves on a divine mission to seek out evil in the boys in their care. Seek it out, and then drive it out.

The seven have fallen from God’s grace. And the Brethren will cleanse their blackened souls…

The Fallen: Genesis is the prequel in Tillie Cole’s new series called the Deadly Virtues, and all I can say is OMFG! I love the Hades Hangmen series, and I was so dang excited to start this new one. I knew it was going to be a bit darker than the Hangmen, but wow! It was incredibly dark, raw, and gritty, and I went through so many emotions while reading.

It started off with brothers Joseph and James sharing a room at the Holy Innocents Home for Children, which is an orphanage run by the Catholic Church located in Boston, Ma. Joseph is the older brother, and he feels a strong need to help and protect his younger brother. After an eye-opening scene, I was gripping my Kindle tightly, and I could not stop reading. I became mesmerized by the characters and the storyline. I found that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, yet I wanted to savor every word.

I am counting the days until Raphael, the first book in the series is released! A definite add to your TBR list!

A Deadly Virtues # 1
Tillie Cole
Release Date: June 18th, 2019

They are the Fallen. A brotherhood of murderers whose nature compels them to kill. But guided by their leader, Gabriel, the Fallen have learned to use their urges to rid the world of those it is better off without.

For Raphael, sex and death are intertwined. Where there is one, there must be the other. He is a lust killer, luring his victims with the face of an angel and a body built for sin.

And Raphael lives to sin.

His newest mission takes him into the sadistic underworld of Boston’s secret sex clubs, and puts him face to face with his greatest fantasy made flesh.

Maria is everything he’s ever dreamed of, the kill he’s always longed for. She’s not his target. And he knows he must resist. But the temptation is too strong…

Yet Raphael is not the only one with a mission. Maria is not quite what she seems. And as her secrets and Raphael’s unravel, Maria begins to question everything she thought she knew—about evil, about the place she calls home, and about the beautiful sinner she was sent to destroy.

Dark Contemporary Romance. Contains sexual situations, violence, sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and topics some may find triggering. Recommended for age 18 years and up.

OMG!

Raphael was freaking insane, and I loved every word! Every. Single. Word.First, I need to make sure you know that the prequel, The Fallen: Genesis, must be read before you begin this story. With that said…

I have read all of Tillie Cole’s Hades Hangmen series, and I tried to imagine the tale that Tillie would weave. And let me tell you, it was so much more than anything I could have imagined. Raphael was beautiful, frightening, gritty, emotional, touching, and absolutely unforgettable.

I became so completely captivated that I honestly didn’t want it to end. Raphael was explosive, and it literally blew me away!
