Everybody should know that I LOVE the Hades Hangmen series by Tillie Cole. I picked up the first book back in 2017 and quickly binged every available title I could thereafter. Then the waiting game started.
During this time, I would keep up with Tillie’s updates on Facebook and Instagram to help fill the void. It wasn’t until I started blogging that I realized she has a Facebook group called Tillie Cole’s Tillsters. And one of the most requested things I’ve seen on there is a family tree of sorts.
So I dived in – thinking that there had to be one buried deep in the interwebs but I came up short. That left me with only one option: to create my own Hangmen Reader’s Guide.

The Hades Hangmen are Slot Gacor Hari Ini always discovering something mind-blowing; it is a part of why the series is so good. So if you haven’t read all the books in the series thus far, you are guaranteed to get spoiled. If you don’t mind mild spoilers then you can take a peak at the Hangmen Rosters BUT do not click on the names or you will be spoiled by the character bios I’ve created.
Did you say Hangmen Rosters and Character Bios!?
Yep! My readers’ guide has three different sections –
- Hangmen Rosters & Hangmen Community
- Couples by Book(s) (book dedicated to their story)
- Characters Without Books
The Hangmen Rosters contain the Hangmen Members from the mother chapter and other chapters that have been mentioned so far. The Hangmen Community lists characters that live among our bikers but aren’t members. They are separated by where they were rescued from.
Couples by Books contains the characters family trees and appearances. It is broken down by book and includes links to the book’s playlist.
Characters Without Books is exactly what it says it is – Characters without books dedicated to their story. This includes deceased characters and characters from other MC gangs.
My goal is to keep this updated so no matter when you discovered this, it will be up-to-date. This goes up to My Maddie – the most recent release.
This was so fun to do and I am so glad I was able to compile this for help other Hangmen Harlots. I discovered new feelings for characters I have overlooked – looking at you Edge and Smiler!
