Review: Hallowed Bones by Lucy Smoke

 

The first in the Sons of Salem series— a seductive, dark why-choose romance filled with cursed bloodlines, secret societies, and a powerful heroine destined to save the coven.

Four cursed heirs. One forbidden witch. A desire that burns bright.

I was warned to stay away from the Sons of Salem. Not because they’re monsters—but because they’re broken enough to recognize one.

Ezra Bishop.
Cameron Goode.
Lyall Corey.
Reyes Scott.

And me—Haven Wardwell.

Legacies. Witches. Something far worse than myths.

Now that I’m here, there’s no telling what Now that I’m here, there’s no telling what the Dark Gods will ask for in return.

Ghosts haunt the corridors of Ipswich College, and if I’m not careful, I might just become one of them.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one is a slow burn, so be prepared. There was plenty of background to learn about all the main characters. This is also a series, so while it doesn't end in a cliffhanger, you will be left wondering what comes next.

Following the passing of her parents, Haven went to live with an aunt and is now heading to college. Unbeknownst to her, her father was a donor to Ipswich College, and she's able to attend for free. Her roommate is an older student/new friend who helps Haven navigate the school's social scene. She also warns her to stay away from the Sons of Salem.

Four men who descend from the founders of Salem.

Ezra, Cameron, Lyall, and Reyes.

They're mysterious, and she feels drawn to them. But she also feels the need to stay away from them. Especially after they told her what she is and that she'll either be the coven's salvation or their downfall.

Thanks so much to the author and SMP for this ARC to review.
