Nyte's Hall #2

Unholy Gods: Keeping Her

Rate this book
There was never any question—she was mine the moment I laid eyes on her.

As the oldest of the Heirs, Adrik has been through a lot and has seen the darkness beyond the walls of Nyte’s Hall.
Scarred by his past, Adrik’s depravity sets him on a collision course with Tierney Foster, a striking woman with a haunting history and an Heiress in her own right. As Tierney seeks to break free from her cruel and domineering boyfriend, she falls into the hands of a possessive stalker.
Adrik’s intentions may seem sinister to some, but for him, it’s the only thing that keeps his sanity intact. Due to his time spent in prison for protecting the one person he loved most in the world; the Sinclair Heir now has no scruples when it comes to taking what he wants.
And Adrik wants her…
As soon as the Heir clears the path of his biggest obstacle, another one pops up in the form of someone from both their pasts. His plan has already been put into motion, though, and only time will tell if this new player has what it takes to keep Adrik from finishing what he’s started.
Adrik’s obsession with Tierney runs deep, and his ominous intentions toward his little mouse only solidify his decision to own her. Will Tierney find the strength to resist the allure of a man who plays by his own unholy rules?
The Heir, who wants nothing more than to possess the Heiress until her last breath, will walk through fire and brimstone to get to her and will fight the devil himself to protect her.

No matter what, now that I have her—there’s nothing that is going to stop me from keeping her.

Who is ready to meet Adrik Sinclair?! 😏

If I could give this book more than five stars I would without a doubt. I loved Reclaiming Her but I love Keeping Her even more. This book is loaded with triggers so make sure you check them before you read this. I loved the banter and watching Tierney (FMC) take back her power because of the awful past she had. Highly recommend this book!!

I’m rating this a 4.5. I love this series and these characters. I love when an author makes you love the side characters as much as the main characters. The little Devil is still my favorite character and I can’t wait for their book. Adrik & Tierney’s story was so good. Both main characters have been through so much and I love that they were perfect for each other. Adrik knew from their first meeting what he wanted and their chemistry was instant. There are some little clues (I think there are) to maybe at least one future couple. I hope I’m right. I can’t wait for the rest of this series!!!

I loved this book. I would even say it was better than the first. Adrik and Tierney are a fantastic pair. She softens him, and he brings out her strength. They each compliment and better the other. Plus, the adventurous nature that they both possess is fun to read about. They really made reading their story fun and exciting. I laughed, cried, got angry enough to throw things, and cheered for them. I can't wait to see what happens with the last two Heirs, and, of course, we can't forget about Mara, their 'Little Devil.' We need to see if Cray ends up with Adrik's sister and if Zilas and Mara find their partners as well. The man who is brave enough, strong enough, and even crazy enough to capture Mara will deserve a medal. LOL!

Unholy Gods: Keeping Her pulls readers in from the jump. Adrik, the enigmatic and powerful God of Nyte Hall, is the epitome of an anti-hero—possessive, obsessive, and utterly compelling. His relationship with Tierney, his "mouse," is one of the most gripping dynamics I've read in a long time.

Tierney’s resilience and growth throughout the story balance Adrik’s intensity perfectly. Their forced proximity and intricate, often twisted, connection make this book impossible to put down. The way their personalities clash and complement each other creates an addictive push-and-pull dynamic.

The themes of stalker romance and dark obsession are handled with the kind of nuance that keeps readers both uncomfortable and enthralled. Adrik's possessiveness is undeniably dark, but his vulnerability and devotion to Tierney add depth to his character.

The world-building is immersive, filled with beauty and intrigue that makes Nyte Hall feel alive and foreboding. The pacing is perfect, with moments of quiet intimacy juxtaposed with heart-pounding tension.

Keeping Her is a masterclass in dark romance, delivering everything fans of the genre could want—high stakes, complex characters, and a love story that defies convention. If you love morally gray heroes, intense chemistry, and stories that push boundaries, this is a must-read.

This book is amazing!!! Get ready for a roller coaster of emotions because this book had me feeling every emotion possible. This book was darker than the first and boy did it bring on the heat 🥵🥵. This tells the story of Adrik and Tierney. Tierney who we get to see grow and come out of her shell with Adrik and Adrik showing a softer side for Tierney. You could not have pictured a more perfect couple but wow did they go through hell to get to their HEA. This book is filled with twists and turns that you will not see coming that will have you at the edge of your seat wanting to finish it in one sitting. I devoured this story!!!! Stacy you did your thang here. Highly recommend. Be sure to check your triggers as this one is much darker than the first book in the series. If you can get past those you will eat this one up. Thank you to the author for creating such an amazing story where the reader (reader being me) on an adventure that I can happily be lost in for days. Now it’s your turn to get lost in this goodness. Happy reading 😏😏

OMG this series is blowing my mind! I’m absolutely in love with it!!!

This is Adrik’s story out of the Nyte Gods. Adrik meets a sub who he can’t seem to shake. And she is in trouble her Dom is not an actual Dom, he just uses that to cover the fact he is @b$iv3 to her. Adrik helps free her and they come together after he plays out her dark fantasy. Adrik and Tierney are po$$3$$iv3 and gives no f**ks about it. The plot of this book keeps you hooked, the spice 🥵 and the twists like you can almost put all the pieces together but your missing something till it slams in your face and your like W-T-F. I definitely can’t wait for the next book!!

What a dark and utterly delicious book this was. Adrik and Tierney bring the heat with this one.

Who ever knew Adrik Sinclair would be a man totally obsessed? But here we are! From the second he sees Tierney, he has to have her, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

This book is definitely darker than the first and is filled with twists and turns that had me hooked from the very first page.

I am so gone for the Heirs of Nyt, and I can't wait for the next king to find his queen.

This book was absolutely amazing. I think this book was almost better than the first book and I love Stacy’s writing and I have always loved how she can turn a smut book into a beautiful love story! Adrik and Tierney’s story was amazing and I love how they came to be. I hate what Tierney went through but in the end she won and I’m glad Theo suffered and what can I say our little devil always delivers! I was worried for a minute but I knew our faithful author would come in swinging and that she did and the ending was chief kiss! I’m excited for another baby and I can’t wait for the next book! Thank you Stacy! You did it again

Adrik Sinclair Heir of Nyte Hall finds his Queen , but will he be able to keep her once his past comes back to haunt him. Can Tierney trust him after her abu$ive relationship. Emotions are high relationship are tested.

This series is the first series that introduced me to the Stacy Rush universe and when I say I’ve never read a book that gave me butterflies, but was so dark at the same time. this book was definitely darker than the first book, but I love every bit of it. I thought no one could get better than Nyx Beckam (first book) but Adrik has raised the standard. When I tell you, Adrik is the definition of I will love you through it all. Stacy I really have no words to express this book, but you have outdone yourself. I cannot wait for book 3 and many more books to read of yours.

This is the second book in The Nyte’s Hall Series and could easily be one of the BEST books I have read this year! In some ways, though not all, I may go as far as to say Adria and Tierney’s story is better than Nyx and Raya’s. BUT, I am still stuck on, and in love with, the Lion and his Little Lamb. From and Tierney complimented one another in the best ways; they feed off each other. This in itself made their story exciting to read. Keeping Her inspired to many emotions in me! I laughed, cried, and even threw things out of anger. I yelled and cursed them, and all at the same time, I cheered on this couple and their story.
This book pulls the reader in from jump street. From keeping the reader enthralled enough to want to keep reading, to being uncomfortable enough to not be able to put it down. My emotions truly went through the wringer with this one. I am extremely excited to read the upcoming novels of the rest of the God’s of Nyte’s. And I am even MORE excited to read Mara’s story. The person she ends up with needs to be strong willed and brave as heck!

Talk about a wild ride of emotional torment, right down to the hot & spicy lust. Is he really a Stalker though?. Lets face the real fact that we all would probably crawl to Mr, Hawk without shame 🫠.

Tierney doesn't live the dream of a sub at all, but when she walks into The Gods Of Nyte's Hall with her Dom and is offered up like a meat platter, does this take a turn.

As much as I loved Book One and Nyx and Saraya, Adrik and Tierney of "Keeping Her" and a perfectly entwined couple. Adrik is dark and luscious in his desires, to have his little mouse all to himself. He will stop at nothing to save her from the torment and darkness of her current situation and I am here for it. There are so many moments where Tierney shines and really comes out of her shell. Adrik has a hand in that but she is strong for going through her trials and tribulations for as long as she did. So far, she is my favorite FMC of the "Nyte's Hall" series.

I cannot wait to see what Stacy has in store for "Mastering Her"!

Book two in the Unholy Gods series is fantastic! Adrik is perfect in the most unconventional way. Tierney is in a horrible situation with her boyfriend and needs help getting out. Adrik ends up helping her while she is in an impossible situation. Then, they run into other issues. Adriks' possessive obsession is dark, but we still love him. There are many tropes and triggers in this book, so please check those out before diving in! I definitely recommend this book!

Stacy Rush has never disappointed me yet and I believe I have read all her books so far. The spice is always so good from beginning to end!!
I love Adrik and Tierney as a couple. I was worried at first the way Adrik was going about it but it all worked out in the end. I love the ending where Tierney gets a little payback of her own. Can’t wait to read the stories of the last two Gods and hoping we get a story for crazy Mara. I’m thinking she will need more than one to tame her.

I love how Stacy stepped out of the lines from her normal troupes adding some MM in the mix as well as hinting at Huxley’s size…..well done

Adrik & Tierney were all the things we wanted
Possessive MMC
Touch her and die
Mine Mine Mine
Dom/s
MM
Adrik has a darkness about him since being in prison but when Tierney walks in his club he will stop at nothing to call her his own including getting her away from her current abusive boyfriend/dom
He vows to show her what a true dom is and the value of his submissive……

I read this in one sitting and I absolutely fell in love with Adrik and Tierney! They complimented each other perfectly with her softening him and him strengthening her. They were such a great (adorable) couple and I loved their banter and the way they interacted with each other. I enjoy all of the Nyte’s Hall God’s and their little devil, but I really enjoyed Adrik and he might be my favorite so far. They were also extremely steamy, as to be expected with all of Stacy Rush’s couples. 5⭐️ 4🌶️

Small spoiler: did I see some potential for a sister & anotherGod during this story?

In Keeping Her, book 2 of Unholy Gods, follows Adrik, aka Hawk, and his journey to get and keep his Little Mouse.. Tierney. She has had it rough.. that’s an understatement. Until Adrik comes along and frees her… in a way..

This book had me going crazy!!! The twists and turns are not abnormal when reading a Stacy book, but some of this stuff I was like… what the actual F..

So good y’all need to read this!

Keeping her is the second book in the Unholy Gods series. The story follows our God of Nyte Adrick and Tierney. The amount of spice in this book is unreal. 🥵🥵🥵
The story was incredible and Stacy never fails to deliver a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat with every turn of the page. Just when you think you know what's coming next, you're wrong. Think you've got the villain figured out… you don't. I can't get over just how well she can keep you going from the story line, to the spicy scenes and back. It all flows so beautifully.
I found myself laughing out loud at parts in this book. Yelling at other parts and absolutely cheering on the characters in other scenes.
Let's not forget our wonderful unhinged unaliver that you can't help falling more in love with in each book and each scene. I seriously can't wait for more from these Gods.
Way to go Stacy you did amazing!


These books can be read as stand-alones but they do have characters that are featured throughout the stories so I would read them in order. (Plus you don't want to miss any of the stories for each of the members of the Nyte’s Hall) Also please don't forget to check those content warnings before beginning.

Hot damn this book was amazingly written and I love the main characters in this book!!!!! ADRIK AND TIERNEY they are the freaking perfect couple, they bring out the best in each other. Adrik is an heir to Nyte and Tierney is the daughter of an oil billionaire that her brother is now over. Tierney is a sub to Theo who is no dominant, he is an abusive butthole. Adrik meets his little mouse in club unholy and falls head over heels in love with her. So Adrik keeps his eyes on her and vows to make her his. Tierney was in love with Theo before his true colors came to light, when he would treat her like the gum under his shoes and everything he had was actually Tierney’s. I am in love with this series, this is only book number 2 if you haven’t read 1 I suggest you go and read the first book.
