I absolutely loved this book. It’s dark, it’s twisted. It has smut, and all the emotional pull in between. This author has quickly become a favorite.

I loved this one! I honestly could not put it down once I started! This book was fast paced with a bad ass female lead and multiple beautiful male main characters. I loved Hades background Story with her ex finance and the suspense behind everything happening with other rivals. I'm super excited to continue with the series!!

Tate James why chose romance books are one of my favourite dark romances as well and they go by so quickly and I love them and how easy they are to read and I will always buy her books and read them. This series is the second one I’ve read and I loved the start in the 7th circle

honestly.. this was so much better than i thought it would be! i assumed it would be straight spice, but the story actually had me wanting more! must get the next book now.

YES. YES. YES.

This was amazing. I could not put it down. I stayed up way too late and devoured this.

Tate james is an all time favorite author of mine and this continues to show why.

I thought I’d be into a motorcycle romance but alas, I was not. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This just simply wasn't for me. I don't think it's bad, but I don't think I'm the audience for it. I'm super grateful for the opportunity to try this one out early and see if it could be something I enjoy. I'm sure it will be very popular among the dark romance readers!

Started off really well but half way through it felt like I was missing something. Looked into some reviews and found that I should have read the other series first. Strong FMC. Will have to get back to the series.

4 stars

Hades is such an amazing strong main female character, and she really made this book. I loved her being the boss: in charge and making sure everyone knew it. There are a lot of moving pieces in this story, you don't know who to trust, there was never a slow or dull section. This is a new adult dark romance, it is a four stars book for me and 4 on the spicy scale, it was really heart racing from all the action, conflicts and romance happening. It was not a full five stars for me because one of the main male characters I am not sure about and he is really all over the place and I am not sure what's going on with him but I am hopeful that he will grow on me as well as a couple scene that I had an issue with but I will be picking up I can’t wait to find out what happens next. This book is thrilling, with so much tension and high stakes and I really had a good time.
I received an ebook, via Netgalley. This review is my own honest opinion.

Hades is the boss of the Tri-state Timberwolves, a gang thought to have been extinct however this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Hades was the mastermind behind the massacre that took out the Timberwolves five years ago. Well the Timberwolves of the old guard, including her own father. Under Hades’ rein she has multiple thriving businesses and most of all respect. The only thing missing is someone she can love. Will she find what she needs from a newly hired male dancer, Lucus? Or will she find solace in someone that has been right in front of her since the beginning?
Overall rating 3/5
I felt many times throughout this book as if I missed a prequel or if this was truly book 1 in the series. The FMC would reference things from the past as if the reader should know what happened without much context. However, I did like that Hades was a strong female character who stood her own ground and did not succumb to the will of any man in her life.

OHMYGOD THIS WAS SO GOOD AND NOW I NEED TO READ THE ENTIRE SERIES.

This is my first book by Tate James and I think she’s going to become a favourite. The twists, turns and cliffhangers at the end of chapters that force you to keep reading? I ate that shit UP. I love a good why choose romance toooooo, the more book boyfriends the merrier!

This has made me want to read the Madison Kate series and then finish this one, better get started I guess?

I loved the Madison Kate series. Unfortunately this one this one fell a bit flat for me. Tate James is an awesome author, I think it was me this time. I was looking for something fresh, new. This one didn’t draw me in like that.

This story was not what I am used to reading but I was curious as I have always heard great things about the author. This was my first why choose romance and surprisingly I enjoyed the book.

After reading the Madison Kate series, I expected something similar with this book. Maybe it's because of the covers? But I was pleasantly surprised that this really wasn't anything like that series.

Tate did it again. Another addicting book out in the universe. The new covers are SO beautiful. This spicy why choose set in the same world ( Shadow Grove) as the Madison Kate series (one of my all time favorites.) This books has spice, it has drama, it has a cliff hanger so have that second book ready.

I’m adoring this series so far! Hades is amazing. She’s the kind of heroine that I always hope for: strong, confident, smart, and likable. Lucas is my favorite guy so far. I loved the guys from the Madison Kate series, but I’m so glad to see a quintessential good guy, who is also super hot. Things are still ramping up as far as the relationships and the story at large. Even at this early stage, my interest is piqued. I’ll be diving right into the next installment, especially after that cliffhanger.

I loved this start to the series! The very first chapter had me utterly hooked and I fell in love with Lucas instantly. Hayden's budding relationships with Cass and Zed were also interwoven in the first book and I truly found myself loving all her men. This book is just the beginning, and the plot only gets darker, messier, and bloodier from here. There are so many players on the board, but Tate James gives you a glimpse as Hayden's past comes back to haunt her.

What an amazing start to this series!! I was immediately hooked on this story. I love that our FMC is Hades in this story and she the head of the Timberwolves.

Hades is strong and independent and gets sh1t done! I love her character - she is feared (for good reason!) Lucas is new to town and he seemed kind of innocent and for some reason Hades has a connection with him. Zed has been her confidant for years and she clashes with Cass who is in charge of the Reapers.

This book was full action and twists and turns. I am really excited to see where the series goes!

7th Circle is a why choose romantic suspense romance and the first book in the Hades series. I really loved the Madison Kate Series and had some high hopes for Hades, and I was not disappointed. Hades was every bit the strong and badass FMC I was waiting for. I’m definitely excited to see where this story goes and how the relationships build. That cliffhanger, as always, was brutal! 4.5⭐️

I loved the Madison Kate series and I loved getting back into that world and jump into a new relationship with different dynamics. 7th circle was a good introduction to the characters, the power dynamics, and the overall plotline of the story. I loved all the characters and I can't wait to explore their dynamics individually with Hayden as well as in a group setting and between the guys. There is so much potential for growth within the characters and as a group and Tate James did a good job with this book in introducing us to them and giving us a story that hooks us and makes us want to read the whole series to see where the characters end up.
