The Oath We Give

The Hollow Boys, Book 5

By: Monty Jay

Narrated by: Sean Crisden, Lucy Rivers

Two years. That's all the peace we had before our past awoke from the dead. The tombstones of our enemies have been overturned, and we are reminded that we can never escape the chains of the corrupt. Seeking retribution for my lost love consumed my past, but that violence and desire for punishment now jeopardized the future of those closest to me.

We are given one choice, a singular option. Return to Ponderosa Springs. But it's more than the infamous Hollow Boys in danger this time. It's her. A mirage of a woman too stubborn for her own good.

Coraline Whittaker and I share a common enemy. Her fear of him and his possession over her is the only reason she agrees to work with me. We promise to protect one another. What she doesn't know is there's more than a villain weaving us together.

It's not just the revenge I want. It's not the satisfaction of ruining the town that tainted us. I want her. Once again, I've taken a vow to protect someone, took her vengeance and made it my own.

Ponderosa Springs isn't the only one with secrets. I'll let the world know mine before they take her away from me.

A mistake repeated? Not even God himself will deliver them from my evil.

Contains mature themes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 🌶️ 2.5 | The Oath We Give by Month Jay Book 5 in the Hollow Boys series

👏👏👏 So. Freaking. Good.

This series is dark romance perfection — gritty, emotional, and absolutely addictive. I’ve been holding off on reading this final installment because out of all the Hollow Boys, Silas was the one who intrigued me most. And oh boy… was he worth the wait.

They say it’s always the quiet ones — and Silas proved that tenfold. He’s broody, loyal, haunted, and has a filthy mouth that had me blushing and fanning myself more than once. Beneath all that trauma and stoicism, though, is a man who loves hard, listens deeply, and understands pain like no one else. Husband material? ✅ Absolutely.

Coraline, our strong and steady FMC, matched his energy perfectly. Her trauma mirrored Silas’s in a way that felt raw and real, and watching them slowly learn to trust each other — to actually heal together — was incredibly satisfying. These two didn’t just fall in love; they fought their demons side by side and won.

And that’s what makes this series so special. The Hollow Boys may have been forged from tragedy, but they became a family — one built on loyalty, survival, and fierce love. This finale was everything I hoped for: dark, emotional, redemptive, and just the right amount of spicy.

If you love broken characters who find peace in each other’s chaos, add this one to your list immediately. Silas, my quiet king — you’ve earned your crown. 👑🔥

Wonderful

I don’t want it to end but it ended beautifully.
I would most likely reread all books all over.
