Devil's Mark (The Reckless Damned) Paperback – 18 July 2022

I'm a huge fan of PNR MM romance and i have to say, Lark did such an amazing job! I absolutely love these brothers and their soulmates.The writing style is great, the sibling banter is one of the best, the world and story are sooo good! Highly recommend!

It took me a little while to get into Devil's Mark, but once I was in I really enjoyed it. The characters were all brilliant especially Oscar. I liked that despite everything he'd gone through, he still had some spark left. Brilliant.

When Prince of Hell Cal sees Oscar across his brother's nightclub, he knows he is important, despite having spent hundreds of years treating humans as temporary and disposable.Colin, a teacher recovering from an abusive ex, is struggling with panic attacks and PTSD, but he feels safer when he's near Cal.I loved the world building and the characters in this. Oscar, with his teacher voice taking charge of the Princes of Hell, but also his struggles with PTSD, is really lovable. Cal's killer twink brother Harlow and Oscar's loyal best friend Bailey are also favourites.I really appreciated the setting in Southampton, UK as a change to so many contemporary near fantasy books being set in the USA.In this you'll find: gay MCs; supernatural-human age gap; MM spice; PTSD and panic attacks; DA survivor; teachers; manipulative demons; protective siblings - both demon and human - and best friend; a super protective Prince of Hell; kickass twinks; a widowed supe; fated mates and a HEA (if they can survive Lucifer's shenanigans).

Such an enjoyable story , whilst it does have a trigger ( DV) it’s great to find a HEA healing story. The fact that one of the MCs and his brothers are all demons. Cal and Oscar are so sweet together, hot too. Highly recommended

I don’t want to give anything away but if you have brain space to read just one thing to get you through the autumn, take a peek! Great characters, excellent plot, a few tears and a giggle or two along the way. Cannot wait for the next one! Loves it. Thank you Lark Taylor!!

Oh my god Cal and Oscar are perfect for one another, the way Cal just melts for him and tries to do everything in his power to make him happy is just chefs kiss. I love his brother's and Bailey too and can't wait to read all their stories! I'm so happy Oscar got his happy ending and now I need the rest of them to get their's .

I hoped for more. Cal was the softest and sweetest demon ive read. I expected a bit more grit with the storyline, its just a romance really. But i did enjoy how the author portrayed Oscar and the two dealing with his past. Bit too mushy for me though, i like more storyline over the romance. But its well written, funny and nicely paced

New author for me loved the story of Oscar and calix, abused teacher and a demon who worlds collide, and ssvthe story took place southamptom uk my home made it all the better , enjoy well worth reading now on to book 2

I loved this entire series. But I'll leave a series review in it's entirety somewhere else. For this book alone, I love Oscar to bits and pieces. Oscar is such an amazingly strong character and I really love how the author continues to build his character up even after his book and in the other books as the series progresses. I feel as though Oscar and Cal are like the parents over everyone else. Cal is the backbone, the silent, but strong and always there. And then Oscar comes along and becomes a mother hen, trying to include and take care of everyone. They make such a perfect couple.I like how Cal learned everything by default and in hindsight. Oscar was a completely unexpected surprise and that opened up entire concepts and theories that Cal was completely unaware of. But he was strong, steady, and resilient for Oscar from the very beginning. Of course there are red flags, but they are also demons for crying out loud. And I can't deny that I loved the first night Cal followed Oscar home. Was it completely stalkerish and breaking and entering? Yes. Was it completely endearing and heartfelt despite that? Also yes. Do I care what that says about me? Absolutely not, as long as that means the author will keep writing like this!!!This book deals with past domestic abuse and instead of just writing that it happened the author gives real fallouts from being a surviver from a relationship like that. Oscar had to take a position he didn't like to survive off of his income, he had to move and it still too traumatized to fully unpack or move in and get comfortable. The depression and emotional aspects that run through his head and tear him down from the inside out and the panic attacks. All of these things are addressed with the character and the other lead slowly works to help him heal from all of that damage.  but what I loved, loved, loved, is that it's not only Cal who learns how to deal with panic attacks, each of his brother's and their mates throughout the series takes time to learn how to navigate panic attacks so they can help him if he has one. This is one of the simple gestures that solidifies how much these characters are family, not only between the brother's but between the mates as well, and one of the biggest reasons why I fell so hard for this entire series. The found family dynamic in this is also wonderful. While the brother's have Cal's back, they also inexplicably have Oscar's. They fall in love with the little human and immediately make him a part of their family. And I love Cal's sweetness and his utter lack of shame in it. Finding ways to bring all the things Oscar used to love back into his life and encouraging him to re-embrace the hobbies he had set aside due to past abuse. It's like Cal came in to undo the damage that the one before him did, and Oscar absolutely blossoms under the attention and I loved watching him develop under Cal's attention. This was such a beautiful beginning to the series and I love how the first couple becomes such resilient forces for the other characters that are introduced throughout the series.

I really loved loved this book. I've been in a bit of a slump, this is the first book I've read all the way through in a couple of weeks. The storyline was great, the world building was good, I loved how we got to see Oliver come into himself and overcome his trauma. Loved the spicy scenes, although I wish there were a bit more lol really great book!

J'ai découvert la série entière car déjà finie quand j'ai lu ce premier tome. Je n'ai pas pu lâcher cette lecture tant qu'elle n'a pas été finie !! J'ai adoré ! Pour dire à quel point, j'ai même écouté les spin off sur Audible en parallèle 🤭Félicitations à l'autrice, cette série.est une perle !

I read the series once already. And now, not being distracted to learn about the ending, I’m able to enjoy the details of the fabulous universe and amazing characters the author created.

Awesome doesn't start with how great the story of cal and Oscar was...this is everything sweet and loving and it has my heart
