Blurb:
Twelve years ago, our fates were sealed with a kiss.

We are all, for better or worse, doomed to love each other until death do us part. My heart belongs to Proserpina and St. Sebastian—even if he no longer wants it. Even if she has left it behind to follow him.

Delphine’s fled back home, and Becket’s holy calling is in peril.

And now only Rebecca and I remain at Thornchapel to face the unknown.

The door is open. The door that shouldn’t exist; the door that people have died to close. I don’t feel like the lord of the manor…I don’t feel like a king or a wild god. I am a friend and a boyfriend and a brother—and a failure at being all of these things. But the door doesn’t care about my guilt. It only cares about the sacrifice I’ll make to close it.

As the bruising dark of Samhain approaches, so does the fate of our circle, of Thornchapel and the village and the valley beyond it. And I must don the crown, because one thing is still true, even if I must face it alone.

Here at Thornchapel, the kings must go to the door.

Here at Thornchapel, all kings must die.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The Thornchapel series comes to a conclusion with Door of Bruises. (This book is definitely not a standalone.) It’s dark and twisted and not your conventional romance. It’s a story full of big emotions, ancient rituals, mysterious happenings, and a lot of gasp-worthy moments (and the kinky scenes that we’ve come to expect from Auden, Poe and Saint). The mystery behind the door at Thornchapel is finally revealed, and it’s heartbreaking, shocking, and surprising all at once.

Beyond the mystery of what lies behind the door, this book sees Poe, Beckett, Saint, Auden, Delphine and Rebecca need to make some decisions as to the next steps of their lives. It’s impossible to really review the happenings of Door of Bruises without getting into the nitty-gritty of the story. But this series is an epic masterpiece and Sierra Simone is a master storyteller!

As soon as I have the time, I want to binge-read this series, uninterrupted, from start to finish!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
