Synopsis
They say to keep your enemies close and mine are all around me. At the heart of it are four dangerously gorgeous men. The man who wants to light my darkness and already paid the price for loving me. The man who can handle my power and loves every dark inch of me. The man who has been my closest companion and now threatens to upend our carefully balanced world in pursuit of me.
But the fourth man is probably the most terrifying. He wants to take the others away. He wants to tear the spinal column out my empire. Destroy my businesses. Destroy me.
Why?
Because the man who should have stayed dead wants me and he will stop at nothing until he’s carved out my bloody, beating heart and left me broken.
He should remember who he’s dealing with…I’m not the girl he knew anymore.
I’m Hades.
This time when death comes for him, I’ll make sure it sticks.

Review
Well, well, well, Tate James has done it again. Club 22 is the third book in the Hades series and probably my favorite so far.
Club 22 picks up a little after the end of Anarchy. And Tate makes us wait a few chapters to find out exactly what happened, but Cass is alive and well-ish. I love that this book picks up right where these bantering boys left off. I think the guys flirt with each other more than they flirt with Hades. And it is freaking adorable. I love the camaraderie that is building between the four of them, as well as all the sexiness! We saw a lot more of Hade’s vulnerability in this book. Not just her breaking down walls and letting people in, but actually facing some of her demons head-on. Writing a character like this, especially a female, is hard. She’s had to earn respect and even more so because she is a woman, which means showing no weakness, so when we get those few moments of vulnerability, it is all the more powerful.
The story left me with a lot more questions than answers. Other than the few questions raised by that cliffhanger at the end of Anarchy, I don’t think it answered anything. This book seemed more about character development than story for me. We find out a little more about Lucas and his past, but we don’t have the whole story there either.
You should not be surprised to learn that this book ends with a cliffhanger. I would compare this cliffhanger more to the one at the end of Liar in the Madison Kate series than Anarchy, but it still gutted me a little. I am looking forward to Timber and seeing how all of this gets wrapped up because there are a lot of loose ends to tie up, but I have faith that Tate will leave us with a satisfying ending.
