Thanks to TikTok we are finding more and more authors and books to fall in love with. And Elle Thorpe's Saint View books are no exception.
We first found the world that Elle Thorpe has created via viral BookTok post revolving around the Saint View Psychos trilogy. Specifically, the book Start a War had us ready to dive head first into this author's work. And now we have a new Saint View trilogy coming our way.
On July 1, Elle Thorpe took to social media to unveil the new cover for the first book in the Saint View Slayers vs Sinners trilogy, Wife Number One. You can see the new cover in full, below. And at the same time, we also got to see the official blurb about the book.
Elle Thorpe unveiled the new cover for Wife Number One, the first book in her newest Saint View trilogy
Content warning for the Wife Number One blurb includes violence, death of a character, cults, gang members, and more.
Not only is this first book clearly going to be a spicy read, but it also looks like things are going to be dark right from the very start. So how do we know that things are going to be dark, stormy, and steamy in Saint View? Because the blurb lets us know that we are in for a wild ride wondering if our leading lady is ever going to find a happy ending.
Check out the official blurb for Wife Number One from the Amazon page below.
"Forced to marry a notorious cult leader, I became wife number one.Elle Thorpe
The other women watch me with envy, but they know nothing of the beatings and punishments I endure. He hides them with a veil. One I must wear until I give him a son.
But when I fail, he threatens the only good things in my life. My sister, Alice, and the daughter he ripped from my arms for another family to raise.
I thought running back to Saint View would save us. I thought wrong.
Now my sister is dead, left strangled in an alleyway, and my ex-husband isn’t the only suspect.
To catch a killer, I move in with the local biker gang that promises to keep us safe. But my new life as a single mom delivers more than I ever could have bargained for, and three men I never saw coming."
As someone who has now read all of the Saint View books from Elle Thorpe, it is recommended that you at least read the previous trilogy, Saint View Rebels, as you will meet the leading lady and at least one of her men in that series. It also gives you a bit of a preview of what is to come.
However, as someone who did start reading the Saint View books in the middle of the series, each trilogy does seem to stand on its own. So if you decide to read Saint View Slayers vs Sinners before any of the other books by Elle Thorpe, you should still be good.
Wife Number One is set to release on August 15. Will you be reading this one?
