Publisher's summary

Even the broken, through love, can find grace...

Secrets never stay hidden. The burden of guilt never lifts from the heart. Born and raised in The Order of David, Sister Phebe knows nothing but cult life. Head of the Sacred Sisters of New Zion, Phebe was groomed from childhood for one purpose: to seduce. Prized as a harlot, as a New Zion whore, Phebe is taken from the doomed cult by Meister, the notorious leader of the Aryan Brotherhood. Taken as his possession. Taken to be the woman who will obey his every sexual demand. Under his heavy hand, Phebe finds herself in a place much worse than she could ever have imagined... with absolutely no one to help. And no glimpse of hope.

Xavier ‘AK’ Deyes is content with his life as Sergeant-At-Arms of the Hades Hangmen. Leader of the infamous ‘Psycho Trio’ and ex-special ops sniper, AK knows how to fight. Experienced in warfare and schooled in military operations, AK is vital to the Hangmen. When his Vice President needs help retrieving his missing sister-in-law, Phebe, from a Klan-funded trafficking ring, AK volunteers to go in. AK remembers the red-head from New Zion. Remembers everything about her from the single time they met - her red hair, blue eyes, and freckled face. But when he finds her, heavily drugged and under Meister’s control, her sorry condition causes him to remember more than the beautiful woman he once tied to a tree. Saving Phebe forces hidden demons from his past to return. A past he can never move on from, no matter how hard he tries.

As AK fights to help Phebe, and in turn she strives to help him, they realize their secret sins will never leave them alone. Kindred broken souls, they realize the only way they can be rid of their ghosts is to face them together and try to find peace. Despair soon turns to hope, and damaged hearts soon start to heal. But when their deep, painful scars resurface, becoming too much to bear, the time comes when they must make a heavy choice: stay forever damned; or together, find grace.

Dark Contemporary Romance that contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and very mature topics. Recommended for age 18 and over.

really good read

I figured AK had some dark secrets from serving, but the ordeal with his brother was epic. My heart goes out to all veterans that come back damaged, but at least they come back. Phoebe was strong given everything she endured. Finding her kid was heartwarming too.

very good dark but good

this was a good book it's a good series. I will say it is dark. trigger warning. there is rape there is kidnapping forced drug use, abuse brutal abuse, and pedophila. if these are difficult for you this is not for you. this book opens your eyes to that side of this brutal world. it was a roller coaster for me . all in all I give it a 7 out of 10 recommend.

4stars****

The story overall waa good. I just didn't have the feel AA I had for the first 4books. the performance waa good it needed more depth the writing was perfect AA usual.

Another Great Hades Hangmen Tale.

I definitely enjoyed listening to this audio read. The plot was more heart wrenching & too brutal. I admits its an emotional roller coaster ride of up & down, but also heart-touching. Especially in the end of the story. Tillie Cole written this book excellently and touched heavy\disturbing subjects beautifully. I also line the narration too.

😭❤

Am I alone in hearing Hagrid saying, "You're a wizard Harry!" Whenever one of these books mentions a grand wizard? 🤣
AK and Phebe are hot af! They're so good for each other's healing. ❤ All the sick sh*t Phebe went through and AK's story is rough. 😔 Have tissues ready.
Trigger warning for hate speech, racism, rape (drug induced/public), abuse, pedophilia...🤬 drug addiction, alcoholism.
If you are or know a veteran struggling with PTSD, please seek assistance. My dad refuses meds (as is his right) but attends group therapy through the VA, no it's not a bunch of guys sittin round singin kumbaya, it's brotherhood.

Love the Hades Hangmen

I loved this book. It's so nice to see the story expand and hear about the lives of all the characters in the series. The narration was once again flawless. I can not wait for the next book to be added to Audible.

Amazing

Love this series I haven’t been able to get book 6-9 on Audio book anywhere. I cried with Ak and Phoebe story I’m so drawn into the hangsmen lives awesome storytelling

Smacking my Lips!!!!

Thank you Tillie Cole for giving me the escape I need. This entire series rocks.
AJ’s story didn’t stir me as much as previous books but it far exceeds anything else I’ve listened to recently. What I mean is, even the least of my list of this series is the best of what’s out there. IMHO!
I can’t WAIT to hear how the mighty Viking falls.

Yippee! 👍🏻 👍🏻 TWO THUMBS WAY UP!

Another Amazing Addition to the Series!

⭐️ 4.5 Stars ⭐️
After a hiatus of a few months, I was really excited to get back to the Hades Hangmen Series. The fact it was about another member of the psycho trio, AK, made it even more alluring. Tillie Cole once again captured my heart with a torrent of feels with Damnable Grace! Heartbreaking yet hopeful, this story has an undeniable darkness, but also touches of humor and sensuality. A great entertainment for sure!

This book starts in a sinister and depraved way with crude depictions of Phebe’s abuses. After being saved by AK, nothing she’s still plagued by demons, prisoner of her past and the atrocity she lived through. Her mind is fractured and AK’s doting on her was so beautiful to see. Maybe the fact he’s also tormented by a tragic past makes their bonding easier. From the start, they have a palpable chemistry that is obvious and they both recognize the broken soul in each other. It was lovely to see them heal together. Their story is more sexual than the previous ones, delivering delirious scenes of passion between these two.

The interactions between the guys had me cracking up at times (mostly from Viking’s lewd comments), but also smiling and tearing up from all the support between them. Seriously, Flame made so much progress since his own story and to see him being there for AK was so sweet. This brotherhood is spellbinding!

I listened to the audio book and the narrators were fantastic. They captured my complete attention with the level of passion they put in their personification of the characters. Damnable Grace was in definitive another superb addition to the Hades Hangmen Series.

•Favorite parts:
Vike and his comedic relief!

• Thoughts:
This book is not for the faint of heart. We are dealing with a rough MC (motorcycle club) and a religious group who believe in very different beliefs. Very different, and the women who were a part of this group and what they endured.
AK and Phebe, this one was not my personal favorite. I really liked the first 4 over this one... HOWEVER, this book was good. It still captured me, and I was hooked from the very first page. I think there was just something with the cursed sisters. Phoebe story is just as heartbreaking breaking and just as hard as the first books. AK I am so glad we got into his head and seen he is just as lost. They are put through the wringer and what AK does to show how much he cares for Phebe. 🥺🥺. This series is just finaminal.

Narrators:
Patrick Garrett- new to me narrator. He was good. There were a few things I was like eh. But honestly I didn't mind him at all. He did good.
Emily Cauldwell- new to me narrator she did a good job! I wasn't loving her child like voice. But I really did like her performance.
Douglas Berger - Returns as Flame. (Still fantastic)
Aaron Sin- new to me narrator, very brief appearance. He did well!
