Summary
Hey，
Over here。
No， look up。
Yeah， I’m the one they talk about。 The headmaster’s prized possession， locked away in the bell tower of NotreDame Parochial College。 To most of the students I was just a myth。
An urban legend。
The girl who rings the bells up in the tower， the one who talks to gargoyles。
Frollo’s secret
Then they showed up， those heartless heathens。 Outcasts， just like me。 But these men aren’t just dangerous， they’re heartless。 They won’t abide or bend to the rules of this deranged school and the secrets it keeps from the world。
But now that they’ve found me， they may never let me go。
And maybe I wouldn’t want them to…
Heartless Heathens : Sanctuary
Is a Why Choose Gothic Romance in an academy setting loosely inspired from major points of Victor Hugo’s Notredame De Paris。 This is NOT a retelling， it is NOT a fractured fairy tale or a reimagining。 All characters are adults。

This was so filthy and dark。 I will say the beginning was a little hard for me as I’m not big on religion or politics but after the first few chapters it gripped and demanded my attention。 Sonny， Corvin & Felix were the hottest heathens。 Do not sleep on this book！！

This was my first book by this author， so I wasn't sure what to expect。 To say I was shocked at how good of a book this was is an understatement。 I was impressed with the character development and storyline。 This was a really good read and I would definitely recommend this book。 This was my first book by this author， so I wasn't sure what to expect。 To say I was shocked at how good of a book this was is an understatement。 I was impressed with the character development and storyline。 This was a really good read and I would definitely recommend this book。 。。。more

5+ Stars！ What a wonderful book to start my 2023 reading journey！ This book was first by Santana Knox and it won’t be the last。 I really enjoyed reading this dark and steamy book。 I loved all the main characters。 But if I had to choose between the 3 MMC my favorite is Corvin！ The story is inspired by Victor Hugo’s Notredame De Paris but with a gothic and dark romance twist。 It’s a reverse harem too which I love。 Overall， if you love reverse harems and dark romance， read this book but check the 5+ Stars！ What a wonderful book to start my 2023 reading journey！ This book was first by Santana Knox and it won’t be the last。 I really enjoyed reading this dark and steamy book。 I loved all the main characters。 But if I had to choose between the 3 MMC my favorite is Corvin！ The story is inspired by Victor Hugo’s Notredame De Paris but with a gothic and dark romance twist。 It’s a reverse harem too which I love。 Overall， if you love reverse harems and dark romance， read this book but check the TWs。 And I cannot wait to read the Reina del Cártel series！ 。。。more

Heartless HeathensI really enjoyed this book。 I saw a video from the author and a couple of people talking about it on Tiktok and I have to say I was not disappointed in this book at all。 It had its faults like the plot twist was not so much a plot twist because I guessed it but the overall story was amazing and worth the read。 It is spicy and there are some group scenes。 The book was good and the story had me hooked from page 1。 The spice made it even better！

This book was dark， filthy and delicious！ I absolutely loved that I both loved and hated the boys， lmao。 I enjoyed it so much， though I do feel that the ending was a little rushed feeling。 I wish it had either been longer or that there was a second one。 BUT do not let that deter you if you love a dark romance this book was 10000% worth the read， in my opinion。 I gobbled it up in probably not even 24 hours。 I laughed and cried and just ugh。 My heart belongs to Corvin <3

Mmmmmm， hello heathens。 I went into this purely because I saw it was a gothic why choose novel and I was super intrigued。 There’s a lot about this book I really enjoyed。 The talk of purity culture， religion， government， and other real world parallels was everything！ It is quite dark and there were some scenes that were outside my comfort zone， so I do recommend checking triggers before you decide to read this one。 I did find it a little repetitive at times and that bogged it down a bit。 But I wo Mmmmmm， hello heathens。 I went into this purely because I saw it was a gothic why choose novel and I was super intrigued。 There’s a lot about this book I really enjoyed。 The talk of purity culture， religion， government， and other real world parallels was everything！ It is quite dark and there were some scenes that were outside my comfort zone， so I do recommend checking triggers before you decide to read this one。 I did find it a little repetitive at times and that bogged it down a bit。 But I would be down to hang out with the twins anytime， they are delicious！ 。。。more

Dark and UniqueOkay， so I know it’s it’s based very loosely on the hunchback of Norte Dam。 But also throw in a dab of dystopian era。 While I never like that movie， this was honestly a really good story。 Every now and then I found myself frustrated that the political undercurrent kept popping up and “ruining the moment” but I do understand why it’s there。 The spice was just * chefs kiss * and the romance between them was oh so yummy。 Yes， this is not a book I would typically have reached for prev Dark and UniqueOkay， so I know it’s it’s based very loosely on the hunchback of Norte Dam。 But also throw in a dab of dystopian era。 While I never like that movie， this was honestly a really good story。 Every now and then I found myself frustrated that the political undercurrent kept popping up and “ruining the moment” but I do understand why it’s there。 The spice was just * chefs kiss * and the romance between them was oh so yummy。 Yes， this is not a book I would typically have reached for previously。 But， I am so glad I was able to get through the initial uncomfortableness （for me personally） of the very beginning， because it ended up being such a great story of found family and learning to break through the constraints of what others raised us to be versus who we actually are and who we were truly meant to be。 Plus the smutt was yummy。 。。。more

I can honestly say that I have started my reading year with a bang 💥I have found this book by total luck， I think it was a review on one of the platforms， and I knew straight away that I have to read it。Before you start， I'll suggest checking TW because there are a few things which won't be suitable for everyone。 I， on the other hand， was proven yet again that my soul is a dark place 😆What can you expect: • dystopian world • dark college/gothic romance • found family • why choose/reverse harem • I can honestly say that I have started my reading year with a bang 💥I have found this book by total luck， I think it was a review on one of the platforms， and I knew straight away that I have to read it。Before you start， I'll suggest checking TW because there are a few things which won't be suitable for everyone。 I， on the other hand， was proven yet again that my soul is a dark place 😆What can you expect: • dystopian world • dark college/gothic romance • found family • why choose/reverse harem • fictional occultism • naive （at first） MFC • anti-heros Story was inspired by Victor Hugo Notredame De Paris， and you can definitely see details there， but just so you know， it's not a retell of the story。 Romina spent all her life locked within four walls of the bell tower with only human contact as Father Frollo， who at each moment reminds her how worthless she is。 This unexpectedly changes when three new students attend the school with a hidden agenda。 Felix， Corvin & Sonny all hold different character traits but have the same hatred towards current society。 And let me tell you， Mina is a very lucky girl， the build up spice was 🥵🔥I really liked each of the characters， and they growth throughout the book， especially Romina。 We definitely see her blossom。 If you love reverse harem trope full of steam with dark themes， this is the book for you。 It was my first book by Santana Knox， but I'm going to check her other books for sure 📚 。。。more
