My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy’s Santa is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series. You can read this story as a standalone, however you’ll feel more connected to the characters if you’ve read books in the previous Satan’s Devils series.

If you are sensitive to descriptions of violence in general, and/or violence against women, you’ll want to read with caution.

I always love to see what this author is going to do with the characters. She tells a great story with real-to-life elements, which make you feel like you are immersed in their experience. I won’t give away the story too much. I’ll say that I felt for Amy. It’s devastating when your trust is violated. I also felt bad for Xander. I mean, I get it, but also……sad. On a lighter note, the Santa hat cracked me up.

Overall, this was a great read. There were light and dark elements that kept the story balanced and entertaining. I’m not big on holiday themed books, but this one was an excellent choice.

Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation # 1 by Manda Mellett is a suspenseful / romantic book. From the first page I was hooked and didn’t put it down until the very last page. It takes you on so many twists and turns that you aren’t really sure what’s coming next. I fell in love with both Drew and Amy from the start who are the main characters. Amy is coming home for Christmas like she does every year but this year is harder. When she’s trying to hide something from her MC family and isn’t sure she can pull it off. But can she keep it to herself? How will her future look after all this? I highly recommend reading this book.

Amy’s Santa is the first book in Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation!!! Finally!!! We have been waiting for it for such a long time AND Manda did not disappoint! There were so many ‘children’ she could have started with and I am so happy she started with Amy and Drew aka Wizard. We met Amy in Heart’s story (she is his daughter) and Drew in Mouse’s story (his sister Mariana is Mouse’s Old Lady). I assume you could read this story as a standalone but I strongly recommend to read the other series before as you will get so much more out of it as you will know the background to the other characters that play a big role in the story!
Manda has given us a story that fits well with her MC series and I am looking forward to the rest of the second generation stories. You would think that she’d reach the bottom of the well when it comes to her Satan’s Devils but heck no, her imagination keeps on giving and what is there not to love about brotherhood and loyalty and action and love and steam and … Thank you dear writer and please keep them coming!

Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett a five-star read that you need to read. This is the first novel in the Satan’s Devils MC second generation series, and this is a great story about Amy, and she will surprise you as you read her story. This has some great characters as always, we get to catch up with some that we have met previously if you read the first series (but if you haven’t read that series it doesn’t matter as they are well done so you don’t miss anything), and will get to see Amy and Drew face fate, Amy has a terrific story, not a nice one, but one that will show her how strong she truly is. Xander played a great role in this story as well, and it was a nice twist with him added. Overall a great start to the next generation of character stories.

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy’s Santa is the first book in the 2nd Generation of Satan’s Devils MC. I first started reading Manda Mellett’s amazing MC books near the end of the first generation series and have read all of the Colorado Chapter books so far and I think these books just keep getting better and better. Each book is new and innovative and the stories are fresh and not repetitive at all as can happen when you write about the same group of people.
I loved that in this 2nd generation, all the old (in more ways than one) characters are still around creating mischief even though their bodies aren’t quite what they used to be.
In this book we get the story of Amy, daughter of heart, and Drew (now Wizard) who has taken over from Drummer as Prez. This is certainly no hearts and flowers romance novel. The subject matter is quite dark in parts and there are also scenes which are quite gruesome. As ever with Manda Mellett’s MC books there are some hot and steamy sexy times going on too.
One thing I loved was how the author got the name for this book. That certainly was a scene to remember.
Having finished this book, I can’t wait to get my next fix of the Satan’s Devils MC.

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story has some of our favorite characters from Mellet’s other series visiting for the “event of the century!” The beginning of Amy’s Santa shows us the love that Amy and Drew have for each other, regardless of their age difference. Only time will tell if that difference keeps them apart.

This story has motorcycle clubs, love, violence, family and BDSM situations. The story is easy to read and action packed. Mellet does a good job with the characters and their reactions to the situations that happen.

No need to read the other series first but just know, after reading any of Mellet’s MC’s books will get you wanting to read all of them!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amy grew up around the Satan’s Devils MC and has been away from them for many years now. Christmas seems to be the only time Amy will visit but this year she is dreading the return. She is afraid of what people may or may not pick up on, as well as what they might think of the company she is bringing. But she knows she has to do this, because not showing up would be far worse in their protective eyes. As the story evolves you see Amy’s true colors start to shine through as she starts to gain back the confidence she tragically lost.

I thought this book would end up being just another MC book, but I was kept on my toes as the story went through some crazy plot twists and turns. The common theme of family and brotherhood was definitely present through this whole story which was heartwarming to read. However, readers should take heed to the author’s note about the story being dark in places and may contain triggers. While this could be a testament to the author’s descriptive abilities, there was one chapter that I found difficult to stomach while reading.

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is almost bittersweet to read. I enjoy the new guys at the helm and the whole second gen thing. Equally I am sad reading about how old and decrepit the original guys are. I am thinking they are only 50-60ish (I know they lived hard) but hearing about their creaky/sore bums, backs and legs from riding a couple hours? They just don’t seem that old. Especially since Drew is almost 40. I struggled wrapping my head around this. I did enjoy how relaxed the original guys were. Joking and laughing around and causing trouble for the new Prez.

Amy’s story is something I didn’t expect. She was so sweet and nurturing while growing up. Hence becoming a nurse but she has a darker side that is just different. Tragedy happens then she needs to return to the compound for Christmas festivities and face Drew and the family.

Wizard formerly Drew was Amy’s best friend growing up. Once a crush was developed Wiz had to put a stop to it since he is ten yrs older. That stop changed everything between them.

I did love seeing the clubhouse at Christmas time. Everyone being there. All the joking and back slapping. Seemed like old times. This is a fun enjoyable story with a touch of dark and danger.

Amy’s Santa (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1) by Manda Mellett is the first book in the Satan’s Devils Second Generation series. I have read the first generation as well as her Colorado chapter books. I can honestly say that I love these books. I did put the disclaimer that Manda Mellett put in her teaser about the book and characters. This story is about Amy and Drew. They were apart of the first generation series but they were young. I was hoping there was a story going to be told about these two. Without giving too much away Amy loved coming home for the holidays but this year was different. Amy has a secret that she does not want her Satan Devil’s family to find out about. Will Amy’s secret stay safe or will her family find out about it? What does the future hold for her? Will Drew be apart of her future? It is well worth reading this story to find out the answers to these questions and more.

Amy’s Santa was a great 5 star read and book one in Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series. This is Drew and Amy’s story and I was pulled in right from the beginning.

We start out when they are kids and go through the years until they are both adults. Amy is 18 and ready to leave for nursing school. After she saw Drew with a sweet butt she was determined to get away.

Years pass and Amy has her degree and a great job in Phoenix, she visits here and there. When Amy returns for Christmas she has a secret that she is keeping from her family. She has experienced something tragic that has caused her distrust of people. What will happen when her family finds out her secret? When she sees Drew old feelings come back, could she possibly finally get what she has always wanted?

Overall I really enjoyed this read and I really loved the characters. We get multiple POV’s which I love so I can see what others are thinking. My emotions were all over the place. I did also have some LOL moments as well. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today on this great MC read.

What a surprise this series was! I was anxious when I heard about the second generation as I was dying to know who would be first, and I’m so glad it was Amy!
This was just a bit different than the previous series stories, but also its the first book so it has to set the scene too. Lets just say I’m used to more “tricks” and groveling, but this worked for these 2.
I cannot wait to see where this goes and how it all plays out.

Yes Yes Yes! I feel like I have been waiting ages to dive into another Manda Mellett read and when I got my hands on this read I didn’t want it to end! She has done it again and this time with a spin-off from the Satan’s Devils MC bringing us the Second generation! This book was brilliant from start to finish! While these books are part of a series they can be read as a stand-alone but believe me you won’t want to read them separately you will definitely regret not reading them all. This book has romance, passion, action, adventure & suspense, and it really will hold you captive and engaged right until the very end! It will have you smiling, have you mad and angry but more than not it will have you rooting for characters you have come to love!

I loved everything about this read. It brings you along on Amy’s journey as she faces many things. This book does include some trigger content for our characters but Manda Mellett always writes them in a respectful way. This book has a lot of emotions for us as the reader but also the journey Amy takes bring emotions with it.

I absolutely loved her relationship and connection to Drew a.k.a Wizard throughout the whole read, you could tell what they had was real even from when they were younger, they really were both made for each other and to see that relationship have its ups and downs was hard you just wished and hoped they would get a HEA.

I loved revisiting & reading about all the other characters from previous books, it tied it all together perfectly. Another thing I loved about this read was that it was written in dual POV’s I really seem to connect more with the story and the characters as it gives me a better insight into the characters an what they are really thinking and feeling! But ultimately it makes me love them more! I cant wait to see what else comes from this series and this author you will never be disappointed when reading a book by Manda Mellett!

Amy’s Santa (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1) by Manda Mellett. I love this series and each book I just want to read more and more. This is the story of Amy and Xander. Amy always looks forward to going home for Christmas but this year she is actually dreading it. She is afraid if her family knows the truth they will be so disappointed in her. Her Dad Heart and her stepmom and younger brothers and sisters are all members of The Satan’s Devils MC and they are a big part of Amy’s world. After the attack on her Xander has been her rock and never left her in the past three months since the attack. She can’t let her MC family know about what happened because they will try to take matters into their own hands so she has to pretend it never happened.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Amy’s Santa is the first book in the new Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series by Manda Mellett. As the title alludes, this is a second generation series- following the children of characters we’ve come to know and love in the previous series. And even though you could read this book as a standalone, I recommend reading the previous series first- as a lot of background information, character details, and relationships are revealed in those books and knowing all that information will put you in a better position to understand and appreciate this book.
This is an MC romance story, and as such it is full of protective bikers, secrets, violence, pain, angst, banter, comradery, action, drama, emotion, sizzle, danger, suspense, and more.
After having loved the previous series soooo much, I had some pretty high expectations for this book/series, and I was so curious about this story, and the direction it would take us. So I jumped on it as soon as I saw it appear on my recommended book feed. Ms. Mellett definitely doesn’t disappoint. If you have been following Ms. Mellett’s previous series, or if you love a great MC story, then you will definitely want to read this book!
In this book we get to catch up with some of our favourites from the previous series and see what’s been going on at Satan’s Devils MC in the time we had not been privy to. But this book is essentially Amy and Drew’s story. Amy has loved Drew for as long as she can remember- but life got in the way and they headed in separate directions. Amy has come home for Christmas, a little broken- and with secrets she’s trying desperately to keep from being found out. Will fate finally bring these two together? What happens when secrets are revealed?
As I have said before, and as expected from Ms. Mellett- this book had a great plot, with surprising developments to keep things really interesting. But, again, it’s the characters who really make this story good- and the book (and previous series) definitely wouldn’t be the same without the cleverly crafted and complex individuals who whisk us along on their journey- making you believe in them, invest in them, and cheer them on the whole way though.

Thank you, Ms. Mellett!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

AMY’S SANTA is book one of the new series “Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation”. it is my opinion that while this can be read as a stand-alone, it is important to read the preceding series’ in order because it relies heavily on relationships we’ve met in the previous series. I have read almost all of the books and had to pause a few times to remember different circumstances that were being referred to.

The story is well told and while it does include some extremely graphic scenes, they were well done and not overly gory. It is a classic MC romance with a bit of a twist that was super intriguing to read.

Amy and Drew are kids who are kind of products of their upbringing but each has made independent decisions on how they want to live their lives. Their story takes place 20 years from the prologue and I appreciated the maturity of each character. We get to revisit with characters we met in previous series and see how the club is growing and changing.

I hope that Dr. Hottie gets his own story because I found him very intriguing and would like to know his story.

But know several tears later she’s coming back to the compound for Christmas except she has a secret. Will she be able to confront her father and tell him her secret or will Xander tell him everything? Can Amy and Wizard have a future together? Is the club in danger?

The story Amy’s Santa (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1) by Manda Mellett is a romantic/suspense/holiday book. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I found that I didn’t want to put the book down until I had read the final page. Not only is the story amazing, so are the characters. I loved reading about the main two characters and grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. The story starts out at Christmas time when the main female character is going to The Satan’s Devils MC. This is an event that she has looked forward to every year but the current one. She doesn’t want the truth to come out as she fears many will be disappointed with her. She will be able to hide what has happened and pretend everything is fine, won’t she? She has a good friend who has been someone she has come to rely on. She can pretend everything is fine, can’t she? Read this story to find out. This is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading. There are heartbreaking moments and times that I was angry when I read situations that happened. This is a story that is dark in places and may contain triggers. Other times there were happy moments that make you smile. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

This is a great addition to the Satan’s Devils MC series and is my favorite yet. It does have some situations that may be a trigger for some and it gets pretty dark in others but it makes the story what it is. This is a well written, engaging story that I read in one sitting. The characters made the story feel realistic as if I was there with them. There is a secret but if revealed will the group take matters into their own hands?

I may be twenty-seven years old, yet every year going home for Christmas is something I eagerly look forward to. I can never wait to get back and see my dad, Heart, my stepmom and my younger brother and sisters, as well as the proxy cousins, uncles and aunts who I grew up with. The Satan’s Devils MC has been my family for all of my life.

This year, though, I’m dreading it, knowing there are so many people who’ll be disappointed in me if the truth comes out.

They’d know something was wrong if I didn’t go home.

They’ll know something’s wrong as I fear I won’t be able to hide it.

Xander’s been my rock since the night my world imploded. For three months he’s barely left my side, and he’s promised he won’t stop now. Maybe with him I can pretend everything is fine.

One thing for certain, I mustn’t let my MC family into my secret. If they knew what had happened, they’d blame me for certain. Worse, they’d want to take matters into their own hands.

I can do this. I can join in the celebrations and pretend that there’s nothing wrong. Can’t I?

Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?

There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.

Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.

Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.
