"Friends are like condoms. They protect you when things get hard." That’s what my five drool-worthy best friends, turned boyfriends, turned mates, said when we were younger. We lived by it. But I don't know if there's a condom out there that's strong enough to protect us from what's coming ... Pun intended. Five mates? Yeah, it gets a little hectic around here. That’s a lot of d*cks to handle. They’re lucky I love them—because patience sure as hell isn’t a virtue of mine. Add in natural disasters laying havoc to our world, learning we have magic from the goddess, Gaia... Welcome to the Lana sh*tshow. Grab a seat and buckle up, buttercups. Because no way in hell am I letting my mates die in this life. *** Author Note: Desolation is a reverse harem novel with some dark themes including molestation at a young age and rape. This book has a 18+ warning and is intended for mature audiences. Book one in the Darkness Rising series.
