Deadly Rival

Captives of the Onyx Brotherhood, Book 3

By: Zara J Black

Narrated by: Alyssa Avery, John Hartley

I've waited ten years to punish her.

Ophelia, the Calder family's untouchable princess, drove my sister to take her own life. Now I'm taking hers—and I'm going to make her my obedient little pet. All brothers must choose a Ward, and she'll be mine. Forever.

She'll dance at the end of my leash while her father's spies report every humiliating detail back to him. And when he comes for me, the Brotherhood will wipe him off the map.

A perfect plan. Except it isn't.

When Randall Calder demands my head in a box and the Brotherhood gives it serious consideration, I realize I've miscalculated. Now, my only hope for survival lies in the girl I've stripped bare, body and soul.

If you love the twisted worlds of Shantel Tessier and Stasia Black, you'll turn feral for the men of the Onyx Brotherhood.

Deadly Rival almost my favorite

This review is for all 3 stories.
First book I gave perfect 5 stars,I wasn't sure exactly what to think about this series,surprisingly I found it to be quite entertaining and sweet with just the right amount of 🌶
Now book #2 while it started out quite good and while obviously I'm no prude otherwise would I even want to pick these types of books,I had a hard time continuing. The violence and degradation to Quinn was just too over the top. I realize the story had to be differant but I don't think it was necessary for Jacob to be so cruel.
Book #3 really would have been my favorite,so much so that I finished it in one day,that is until the last part with the poker game,again don't think that was necessary. So I took off 1 star for that. Narrators were absolutely awesome,John is my new favorite,he could read me a recipe and I would swoon. I didn't want it to end and since it ended with a cliffhanger I sure hope we get more ❤️ Defiantly worth the credits,first one was free so what do you have to lose😉

Great kidnapping/secret society romance!

Another great addition to this series! I loved Sebastian and Ophelia’s story! So good. Can’t wait for the next one!

Deadly Rival

This is the third book in the series and I love them all. This one was a little different because it was a revenge story. The FMC was made to feel guilty about a tragedy for a long time. The MMC wants to take revenge on her. This book was fast paced. It had some pretty heavy subject matter. Some parts were humiliating for the FMC. I hope this would never happen in real life. The spice was outstanding if you like that sort of lifestyle. I cannot wait to read the next one. I read/listened to this book. The narrators were excellent. I would definitely recommend this novel and series.
