About this listen
Four ruthless men. A virgin mafia princess to unite them. But first, there will be blood.
On my 17th birthday, I learn a terrible secret about my family. My future is in the hands of four brutal men, and what awaits me at their hands is too terrible to imagine. Four men who desire me. Four men who vow to possess me. Four men who think they can destroy me.
As the only daughter of Coldlake’s mayor, I should be kept far, far out of their reach. Instead, I’m being thrown to them as a sacrifice. My father insists only one of them can marry me, but all of them vow to secure my promise. A promise in blood.
They take. I bleed. Happy birthday to me.
Author’s note: First Comes Blood is the first book in the Promised in Blood series and ends on a cliff-hanger. These books contain dark themes, violence, and a romance with one woman and four ruthlessly possessive men where she never has to choose. The story is dark, dirty, and delicious, so please listen at your discretion.

I'm the princess to a dirty throne of motorcycles and madness, daughter of the president of the Death by Daybreak Motorcycle Club. My father's four closest officers—men dressed in blood and death and sin—they're my honor guard, cloaked in leather vests and tattoos. Only, there's nothing honorable about them at all. They're all wrong for me. Every motorcycle club has its old ladies. These guys...they share one. They share me .

I never wanted a wife. No one is safe with me. No one is good enough for my daughter. But if I want to rule over the wealthiest crime family in New York City, I only have two weeks to find one. When Elsie broke into my home, I saw an opportunity, so I forced her into a marriage she didn't want. No one crosses me, not even someone as beautiful as Elsie. She may fight me with that smart mouth, but she will obey me–or return to the hell she came from. I told her she was mine for a year. Then she'd be free.

Then Leo waltzes into my life, turning it upside down, along with everyone in it. One lie. One secret. That's all it took to bring it all burning down around me.

When the creditors come to collect, I'm handed over to the most ruthless man in New York City—Luca Valentino. The head of the notorious Kings is as gorgeous as he is lethal.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

Left to my own devices from a young age, I grew up with zero love or guidance. I was an unwanted mistake my parents were forced to endure. Loneliness followed me everywhere. It's how I know real love doesn't exist, and those who believe they have it are disillusioned by sacrifice as if that alone made their bond worthy. Some would say I'm a romantic masochist, but maybe I had to be because only an unbelieving heart could step into its own twisted fairytale through impulse and temptation.

I used to fantasize about meeting a masked madman who would love me endlessly and obsessively. He would look after me in a world where no one else did. He would manipulate all the strings that held up my life until I had exactly the one I wanted. And then one night, I met him. Only he wasn't the hero I always imagined he would be. When we left the forest together that night, I thought I'd escaped the villains relatively unscathed, but my true villain was the man whose arms I felt safest in.

3.75 STARS
If you are looking for heroes turn around now. I like dark books and books where the guys are a little mean. These guys didn’t just cross the line they demolished it. I still don’t know how I feel about them because honestly I hated them most of the book BUT at the end things come to light and I’m starting to feel different about them. I won’t know until the next book is out and I will definitely be continuing the series. The 4 guys are all different but they have the same goal. Chiara is young and it showed. She frustrated me and I had to remind that she was a sheltered 17 year old.
Narration was amazing! This is my second books by these narrators.

Wicked.
This gets off to a frustrating start—and I don’t mean the book. I mean the FMC’s situation. What a P.O.S. her father is! And the action and drama that come immediately… (no spoilers).
Incredibly fast-paced, this book gripped me from the start and didn’t let me go. It’s full of alphaholes, criminals, corruption, so much injustice … but then it manages to be surprising at times as well. The characters are well-developed and the world works.
Some of the spicy scenes were hot, while others felt a little implausible at times. Overall though, I’d say pretty much well done on this front.
Ends on a wicked cliffhanger, and I love every moment of it. Would love to read on in this series and explore anything else the author has written.
4 stars.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Audio—
Features a dual cast that manages to sound like a full cast, both of whom are excellent at performing and pleasant to listen to. Epic. Perfectly smooth production as well.
5 stars.

A Mafia Reverse Harem Romance
First Comes Blood by Lilith Vincent is a mafia reverse harem romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Maeve York and Walker Williams. This is the first book in the Promised in Blood series.
This is the second book of Lilith's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved that we got Chiara, Salvatore, Vinicius, Cassius, and Lorenzo's points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
The book ended on a great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series Second Comes War to be released on audio so I can get more of their story.
Walker and Maeve did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, mafia romances, reverse harem romances, or romantic suspense.

Deliciously dark men, all slightly unhinged 😈
I haven’t read or listened to anything from this author before and I will say this one took a bit for me to get into but by the end I was enjoying it and want book 2 on audio already because I need to know what happens!! This is definitely a darker RH contemporary, some things are frustrating and some are hard to read/listen to because of the subject - the way people are treated, the villains, deaths (especially with the mafia aspect) but the story was gripping and I am intrigued to see where the author takes it next.
I liked how complicated the guys were and how they make it a MF for the mafia princess essentially. We get their reasoning for some things (definitely the loss they have all suffered is gut wrenching) and we get to see more of their personalities. I will say one in particular was very confusing and didnt deserve Chiara (I have no clue if I am spelling that right since I listened to the audiobook haha) despite having some adorable moments. I thought the side characters were a great addition to this story: to Salvatore’s sister, her mom, her 3 new besties after her childhood one ditched her. I thought the author did a good job writing a horrible villain (her dad) and these 4 anti-heroes pretty much haha that arent “good guys” but hopefully will treat their girl right by the end of this trilogy.
I think for me one of the reasons I couldnt give it a 5 stars was I didnt connect with Chiara. She was all over the place. I had to keep reminding myself of her age and the age of the guys (I will say it was a little off for me that they all wanted to jump her when she had just turned 17 and some are twice her age if I got that right. Like I am all for age gap but this made me feel uncomfortable I think with how they treated her so quickly). I thought Chiara had some good moments, I liked her finally coming into her own somewhat with her sexuality, but again she one second would almost love one and then the next hate their guts. The guys didnt help the situation either, but it just reminded me how much of a child she still is and wasn’t mature enough to be with these older, darker guys if that made sense. I mean I just rolled my eyes at some of her antics and moved on, I still enjoyed the unpredictability and how I hope the mayor gets what he deserves.
The narration I thought was good. The female narrator did a good job with all of Chiara’s ups and downs. She did fine with the guy voices but it would have been been amazing if this had been duet narration because she is stronger as the female characters only. I thought the male narrator did a great job with all the accents and personalities he had to pull out of his arsenal. One of the guys had a harsher accent (sometimes he went from more of a hispanic accent to Italian, which sort of confusing), so I had to lower the speed to understand him fully. I thought Lorenzo’s portrayal was the best, made his unhinged moments super believable and made me nervous for Chiara haha. Overall 4 stars for the narration!
That ending thoooooo. What a killer!! I hope book 2 won’t be long to get on audio ❤️

It’s okay
It has potential in the beginning but as I continue it lost the appeal. There’s no chemistry between each character and the more they are mean to her the more she’s listed after them. Her mind doesn’t matched her action. Maeve and Walkers did an excellent job at narrating
