Only the brutal and bloodthirsty survived. With her future completely derailed and following months in exile imposed by her shady AF father MK returns home to a changed Shadow Grove, an absentee father and a house (ahem mansion) she now shares with the three gorgeous bad boys she loves to hate and blames for her misfortunes.įorget waiting for retaliation: this was war and there were no fucking rules. James throws us straight into life in Shadow Grove and we immediately watch MK’s life explode on one unfortunate Halloween night. However, it soon becomes apparent that her supposedly perfect world reads more like a horror story that’s filled with more trauma than one person should ever suffer and it’s about to get worse. To the outside world MK is like a princess living in a privileged world most could only dream of. That’s where our MC Madison Kate Danvers comes in. Shadow Grove is a city divided in two: one side dominated by gangs The Reapers and The Wraiths and the other led by the privileged, namely our MC’s daddy Samuel Danvers. It was EPIC and also kind of broke me too because holy cliff-hanger batman… but I’m getting way ahead of myself! Her solution is the same as it always is for her, kill the distractions.Full disclosure, I adore Tate James – something that was cemented when I first read The Vixen’s Lead (shout out to Amazon for dropping that on my recommended reading list way back when). So, I obviously jumped on Hate as soon as I could. She wants to keep her empire safe and thriving, but lately she has been letting sex cloud her judgement. The truth is that the Timberwolves grew and evolved, and are now stronger than ever with her in charge. Of course, that was just the story that got out. She masterminded the massacre of the Tri-state Timberwolves five years ago that let the street red with blood and the Timberwolves extinct. That series begins with 7th Circle which introduces us to Hades. The Hades series, like the Madison Kate series, is set in Shadow Grove. The target of her hate is Archer D’Ath who just moved in down the hall. She is going to make someone pay for what they did to derail her plans. After being charged with a series of offenses, Kate is released with revenge on her mind. Madison had a carefully laid out future which has been derailed. She is alive though and she believes that she was set up. At least, that’s what they are saying and those words change Madison’s life forever. The book starts with a bang as Madison Kate Danvers is murdered. Hate is the first book in the Madison Kate series. If You Like Tate James Books, You’ll Love…
