Four ruthless men. A virgin mafia princess to unite them. But first, there will be blood.

On my seventeenth 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 cliffhanger. These books contain dark themes, violence, and a romance with all four ruthlessly possessive men. The story is dark, dirty and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

Great start to a Mafia/RH series!
4 Stars
Great start to a Mafia/RH series!
Damn cliffhangers!! Another great Mafia story.Chiara, is young and very innocent. At times she comes across indecisive and a little annoying but the character development is nice over the story and I am looking forward to seeing how she is in the following books.The guys are what you would expect for mafia criminals. Possessive, tough, don’t take no for an answer. They take what they want and win at all costs. One thing they have In common is there desire to devour Chiara. All four guys have distinct personalities, and I hope the next books dive a little deeper into what makes them tick.There are definitely some specific pleasures and potential triggers in this book,so if you aren’t into dark, spicy books.. I don’t think this story is for you. SA, domestic abuse, homicide, “sharp edge” and “pew pew” play.I would definitely recommend this book, and I am going to continue reading the series.

So many damaged characters and so many twists. It definitely keeps you guessing. I fell in love with the main characters. So much angst and trauma to go around. When I put down the book to go to bed, I had it running through my head still and every time I woke up throughout the night! It is a cliffhanger but all the books are out. I highly recommend this read if you love reverse harem with all the mafia types too!

I was hooked from the very beginning!! You have Chiara who’s 17 and the first scene takes places on her 17th birthday dinner. Turns out her dad is trying to marrying her off to one of the four men who he invited to the dinner. Salvatore, Cassius, Lorenzo, and Vinicius. Turns out her father is a corrupted Mayor and poor thing had no idea about her father’s criminal activity. Let me tell you this… is you like dark romance and the most unhinged guys READ THIS BOOK!!!! I will say it’s refreshing reading a why choose book and the guys split up and fighting over the girl.

The mafia harem was great. They were infuriating and tough as nails alpha holes that were absolutely horrible practically until the end of the book. I appreciated that...they are in the mafia so I get it. What I don't get is the FMC. I know she is supposed to be a naive little virgin but for the love of all that is holy did she have to be so freaking annoying?? Ugh, she was soooo indecisive and whiney. I hated her character so much. The guys seem to only like her because she's attractive and young. They would bring up the deaths of their little sisters at times and then mention how they liked the FMC because she was so tiny. Barf. It felt a little to Freudian to me. Does she remind them of their little sisters? It grossed me out.

If she wasn't such a weak and worthless character this story could have been so much better. She could have still been a naive virgin with some backbone. I almost DNF this book just because it was so frustrating. The ending was just laughable. I predicted what would happen but was hopeful she would redeem herself from being such a loser. No such luck though. I have no interest in finding out what happens. I'm guessing it will be more complaining from the FMC and her harem of guys continuing to comment about how hot she is. The book just lacked depth and heart. I'm giving it three stars because the guys were well written. I'm going to write an ending in my head where she joins a cult for sniveling idiots and they all move on with someone else.

First Comes Blood: A Mafia Reverse Harem is book one in the Promised in Blood series by Lilith Vincent.

First off let me say that this a a new to me author so I read the reviews on this book and there we some pretty negative reviews and I almost didn’t read it, but I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did, this book was good. I read it in two days and I am looking forward to the next book.

This story is about a young women named Chiara, who on her 17th birthday is told that on her 18th birthday she is going to marry one of the four guests at her dinner party. Before she finds out who she will marry, she witnesses her mother being murdered.

The four guests are notorious bad guys and she does not want to get married, she has been pretty sheltered (goes to a Catholic school) and she didn’t put know her Dad was a bad guy.

Although the four guys (Vinicius Angeli, Salvatore Fiore, Cassius Ferragamo, and Lorenzo Scava), mess with her mentally and a bit physically, there is no underage intercourse). She was not groomed but there is no doubt that these four guys are interested in her and they let her know it when she turns 18.

There is a big mystery arc in this book, so I am keeping that in mind and know that not everything is what it seems. These guys are alpha a-holes and Chiara is a sheltered, naive young women who I’m hoping will get stronger as this series goes on.

This book ends on a cliffhanger and has a number of dark, taboo elements. I would recommend this book if you are into that (which I am - lol).

MA’AM !!!!! I cannot believe you left me with this cliffhanger !!! When I read your free mini version of this story I went crazy counting down the days until I read the story. You ended the mini version with a cliffy. But now, the ending of this story is definitely left on a cliffhanger and another countdown !!!!

Now down to the story ! **** SPOILER ALERT ****

This was hands down so far a great start to this mafia story and I can’t wait and see how it develops within the series.

Can I just begin by saying I love how Chiara’s character building is slow but developing great out in her circumstances that she was brought up and turned over like cold Turkey without any background on how to act but gets to understand who she is. LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT ! I like how you are still keeping the mother alive although she’s dead. I think that is what is helping Chiara stay sane. I can’t express how much I like how slowly she’s becoming a woman and seeing the world that she truly lives in.

As far as for the lovely harem of mafia men 🤤. Yes yes yes. A-holes for sure. I can just picture Lorenzo being the a-hole that falls the deepest for her since he has such a bad exterior / seen in Chiara’s eyes as the psycho but well all know those tend to love the hardest. But I really hope we get to see what Sal’s plan B is and who he was talking too. I have a gut feeling I know who and what it is but I’m anxiously waiting to know.

As far as for the father …. I can’t wait to know how it all folds out

Counting down until book 2 has already begun. I need me some more !!!!!!

I was not expecting this!
I was so immersed in this story that I’ve read it in one sitting. Her father disgusted me the most and the relationship that the guys had with each other was perfect! They were psycho friends and loyalty was what bond them together.
Their background it’s still a little mystery but you can see that’s something that makes them hard.
I love it!

 This book is absolutely everything, okay? I have both the Kindle version and the paperback now, which was by far the best decision I’ve ever made! The book is the perfect size to take with me wherever I go, personally I’m a big fan of highlighting and making notes in my book and this copy was the best to do it in!

Now let’s talk about the book. IT. IS. SO. HOT. I cannot even begin to describe how obsessed I am with this book’s plot. So many plot twists that I did not expect or was even remotely prepared for, which made it that much better. I think it’s hard to have characters that are so vastly different in personality be friends and work hand in hand together, but Lilith managed to perfectly construct their bonds despite them being completely opposite of one another. If you don’t fall in love with Salvatore, don’t worry; you’ve got Vinicius, Cassius & Lorenzo to chose from as well! It’s a rollercoaster that ends on such a cliff hanger, you can’t help but run to get a preorder for the next book in the series. Sexy definitely met spicy in this book!
