To be a Fae Guardian by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed the first book in this series, but book two… Queen Titania has been tried for treason, and now her every move is followed by guards. Reading about Titania’s internal debate on following the rules or doing whatever it takes to save her people was intriguing and incredible. WOW.
Dahlia will forever be one of my favorite characters from a series as amazing as this! 🙂 We are at the final book and man, what an amazing ending! So much has happened with the other 4 books, and so much was added to this one book alone. Half of her team went to another world to retrieve Creed’s brother, as well as tackle what they can. While they are there, the apocalypse happens on Earth. Dahlia struggles with the dragon in her heart, I will always remember this series, and might even binge listen again! 🙂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars!!
This series is fantastic….and I highly recommend listening this series from the beginning but it is also bittersweet it is the end…..
Dahlia, a dragon shifter, is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the fall of Sentinel City…but with missing friends, the veil between the worlds, monsters galore…..will Dahlia finally bring her inner dragon out to help save the world?!?!
There is so much to this story… details that grab you and adventure and action that await! While I am sad this series is over (but will definitely listen to all the books again) I’m excited to see what the author brings out next for my listening pleasure.
This was a wonderful final conclusion in this series. I cried at the end because it was over. The culmination of everything brought it all full circle. There was the perfect amount of action, hope, and heartache. I loved every minute of it. I can see people potentially being disappointed with the ending, but I think it was the best option for all. Definitely give this whole series a listen!
Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is an incredible story! This is the first book that I have read/ listened to by C. L. Schneider. From the first word, I was propelled into an incredible action scene and an apocalypse to boot. The action and suspense are present throughout the book. I did not want to stop listening for a minute!
The audiobook quality and the pacing are amazing. Dahlia’s voice is what I expected and her personality shines through. Some of the other male characters’ voices can be a little annoying but overall I thought the performance was great. During some of the intense scenes, the narrator slows down to really provide the needed impact.
Even though there were previous books that I have not read I was able to understand the story and fell in love the with characters. Dahlia is a strong female character lead. The authors’ descriptions of the places and the creatures gave me clear visuals of the world. I love how Dahlias’ shifting is described. I cannot wait to read/ listen to the rest of the series!
I have enjoyed listening to this series from the start. This is a series that I highly suggest listening from the beginning as they build on one another. It will help you enjoy this series,and the characters The narrator brings the story to life with are different tones they use. They made the characters feel real and had me coming back for more. This is not my first audio but it is one of my favorites. Dahlia finds herself in a race against time and dealing with the dragon inside that is itching to get out. This is a fast paced story that is entertaining and easy to listen to. I highly recommend this audiobook.
Joker is hiding more than a couple things from everyone. He is now in Tuscon Chapter, and they don’t know the true reasoning there too well. We also have Lady’s Man, who is on Joker nerves. Lady’s man is his chance to be himself again. The problem is Joker himself. So much happens. It’s different than the other books in the series, but just as great!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this book! Full of feelings and understanding. If you’ve been following this series, this book is organized differently from the rest. Joker is a member of the Satan’s Devils Vegas chapter, then he transfers to the Tucson chapter.. This is his new family. What they don’t know, is that his own family has shunned him and despised him into seeking acceptance anywhere else but at home. Joker hides his true self because he has been convinced that he is an abomination. Lady’s Man is new to the Satan’s Devils MC. And Joker hates his guts. He’s never done anything to make him dislike him, so he’s concerned. Lady’s Man doesn’t know that he is Joker’s only chance at being able to accept who he is and possibly learn to love himself. Read this book, it changed my perspective and made me understand love in more clarity. This book has aggressive moments, parts where people fall apart, and times where they are put back together.

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider
Nite Fire : Exit Strategy (Audiobook) is the fifth and final book in this series. Im a huge fan of this author and this series has been one of the best I’ve listened/read in a while. Its definitely going on my re-read/listen list. The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and keeping my attention throughout the story. I didn’t what to stop listening I had to know what was going to happen next. All good things must come to an end but not if Dahlia can help it. Half her team is missing and she’s in a race against time. Can she find a way to save what remains of this new reality before the Renewal extinguishes all that is left? I loved everything about this story and the ending blew me away. I highly recommend listening to this book to find out what happens next. If you haven’t started this series I highly recommend starting with the first book and reading/listening in order. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.
Joker’s Fool
Satan’s Devils MC, Book 8
This is the book that introduced me to the Satan’s Devils MC. I was a little late to the game but I’m glad I showed up.
Joker and Lady’s journey from being brothers in the MC to so much more was anything but smooth, but was a journey that was.
So much happens in this book and listening to it was a different experience. There were little things I may have not caught or forgotten so I was as surprised about some things this time as I was the first.
Logan McAllister performance was what I have come to expect from him while listening to this series.
Looking forward to listening to the next book
I was excited to hear about Joker and his story. I really don’t have anything negative about this book other than it didn’t follow the same pattern of the previous books with the two perspectives, I really would have to have Lady’s thoughts as well. This story was an emotional roller coaster. It made me laugh, cry, and feel the overwhelming love. Great story.
5 Stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved this story with every ounce of my being…the highs and the lows…loved this story! The story of Joker (Josh) and Lady (Scott)…..this M/M MC Romance was superb. We tend to possibly view being in a MC…. Men want to be seen as alpha, strong and macho. Joker is different….part of now the Satans Devils MC….wants to be viewed as such but has a deep secret that he has been imprisoned with since forever. Joker craves and wants to be with fellow MC brother named Lady (Steve)… but Jokers deep emotion turmoil to come out that is so raw, real and heartbreaking tends to bring you on a rollercoaster of pure emotion.
I highly recommend this listen and this series. The author just is fabulous and her details and the amount of emotions she puts in her stories including this one is pure raw.
This is another great story! I love how the author gives you so many awesome characters. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a great love story. You will not be disappointed. Fast paced, full of bravery, love and finding one self. This is in a series but you can read as a stand alone as well.
Joker’s Fool by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Joker has always kept what he wants close to his chest. His feelings for Lady’s Man come full force, but Joker is wanting to suppress his feelings even if Lady is who he truly wants. A rocky road is ahead of them as the club experiences some tough times. Can they accept Joker and Lady or will they be sent away?
I listened to this on audiobook and the narrators voice is fantastic. This was really good. I thought Joker was a storm waiting to have some bright light. His past is haunting and I appreciated the way the story unfolded. Lady is a wonderful character who sees behind the rough exterior Joker poses. Very entertaining.
If I could give this book more stars, I would. This takes over as my favorite book of the series, so far!! I don’t know how to express how surprised I was by this one. Delightfully, happily, shockingly surprised but I was so caught up in this story, I didn’t want to turn it off. I wanted to clap, scream, cheer, cry, and shout at Joker so many times during this one. When Logan finished his narration, I almost stood and clapped but my coworkers and others in the office would have looked at me strangely so I held it in! 😉
This story walks you through Joker’s time as a Satan’s Devil and his self discovery. I love the way the previous stories were played out in the background so you had a sense of time in the Satan’s Devils MC-verse. Joker’s journey of hating himself to loving himself was simply amazing. Joker’s journey was supported by Lady’s Man, a therapist, friends, and eventually his brothers. It wasn’t an instant transformation. It was beautiful and thoughtful. I was surprised at the intimate scenes. They were sensual as well as steamy, loving and gentle as well as gritty and hard.
I can’t say too much or I will spill all the beans and this review will be all spoilers. I LOVED THIS ONE!!! I love this series. I want to be a Satan’s Devil!! I just have to learn to ride a bike first!!
This is not my first audiobook by this author but it is one of my favorites by her. I enjoy how the narrator pulls me into the story from the start. They brought life to the story and had me coming back for more. I enjoyed the different tones they used as well. This is a great series which I highly suggest listening to the previous audios as well. The characters are both lovable and connectable. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that I didn’t want to stop including a few tears. I loved their journey and watching them grow throughout the story. It was a great story to listen to on my way to work. I highly recommend this audio and this author.
5 out of 5 stars
Here we are at book 5, It’s the end! Dahlia is one of my favorite characters. She is part dragon but she is also strong, brave and resilient. The apocalypse has finally come and the poo has hit fan. She is trying to save the world. She has so many things going wrong all at once that would make most people collapse. Old enemies return while she is trying to find her missing team. This author has again written a terrific book. A fantastic finish to the series. There is lots of action from the beginning to pull you in and keep you going all the way to the end of story. The narrator does a fantastic job of pulling you in and getting you into the story. I was listening as I did chores and it made them much more exciting as I kept hearing bits about exploding dragon or monster bits all over. The action was detailed. The drama was plenty. A very powerful ending to one of my favorite fantasy series. I have loved this narrator and the author. A terrific combo that has made this a joy to listen to. I love the fact that the snark is in Dahlia. She gives as good as she gets. Her team does as well. I will miss Dahlia and her snark.
This is Joker and Lady’s story. Joker holds many secrets most of which could get him kicked out of the club. He has been on his own since he was 16. First joining the armed forces, then followed by the Satan’s Devils. His youth still haunts him and presents them in his nightmares/PTSD. His only family is the Satan’s Devils and if they find out his secret, that could mean being kicked out of the club. Can Lady help Joker to come to terms with his secrets? Will the Satan’s Devils really turn on him? This author has once again sucked me into her series. A place I love when reading/listening to her story. The story is fast paced and easy to follow. Be prepared to experience many emotions. The characters are just plain loveable. If you follow the series you will see just how close they really are. I recommend you read this series in the order it was written. I am sure you too will enjoy this series as I have. I am looking forward to see where this author goes from here.

Wow…Manda Mellett weaves such creative storylines usually with a powerful, meaningful message in there somewhere and this book absolutely delivers that and so much more. I have enjoyed all of this series so much but this book pulled at my heart strings even more than I expected. Amazing characters, real world storylines and so much heart makes this an absolute MUST read!!!!
Dahlia has worked so hard to build a safe Sentinel City. That all changed in a blink of an eye. As the blight continues to devour everything in its path. Most of Dahlia’s team have gone missing and she must try to save them. I found Dahlia Nite to be strong and independent, with the desire to save those around her. The author of this story has once again kept me reading. This story had so many feels and the suspense was that of a rollercoaster, you never knew what was going to happen next. Which makes for an interesting and well written novel. It is a fantastic audiobook to listen to while traveling. This is the fifth book in this series. It answered so many questions as the book came to an end. It is important that you read the series in order. As I am so sure you will love it as much as I did.

Joker’s Fool (Satan’s Devils MC #8) Audiobook by Manda Mellett
Holy Cow there’s just something about listening to this story that shattered me more than reading it. This is the eighth book in the Satan’s Devils MC and to say this one is definitely on my favorite list. I loved this book and had a terrible time stopping it . The narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life using different tones made the emotions of all the main character went through seem so real. Im a huge fan of this author and her style of writing along with amazing characters that sometimes are very raw makes this series one of the best MC I’ve ever read. I don’t want to give to much away. But be prepared for one heck of a emotional rollercoaster ride with highs and lows. I highly recommend giving this a listen to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading/listening to many more books by this author.
5/5 stars
Satan’s Devils MC M/M romance. We learn about Joker’s history in this chapter of the series. Sad, yet beautiful emotions are shared. Lady is Joker’s light in the storm. We learn how these two came together and dealt with their relationship among the MC. This author does a fantastic job writing the stories. I’ve always felt all the emotions and with this being audio, you feel it even more. Logan, the narrator, does an incredible job, putting his all into it. He is my favorite narrator. The story comes to life being narrated with audio. I love the characters. They are salty with effervescent personalities. A wonderful listen, even with all the f=bombs and curse words. Lots of steam but if you can get past that, it’s an enjoyable story that you will enjoy.

The life Dahlia built in Sentinel City is over, shattered by betrayal and crushed beneath the rubble of a world she’s come to love. But, in the apocalypse, grief is a luxury none can afford. Least of all, the scaled vigilante fighting to protect them.
With half her team MIA, creatures rampaging the streets, and humanity facing destruction, Dahlia struggles to put out more fires than one shapeshifter can handle. All the while, the damaged veil between the worlds is eroding faster. Exits are multiplying, giving the blight free reign to devour all in its path. Relishing in the chaos: the mad scientist bent on seizing Earth for his own devious plan.
In a race against time, Dahlia must find a way to save what remains of this tragic new reality—before the Renewal extinguishes all life on the linked worlds. The dragon inside her is done sitting quietly in the background.

I WILL hide in plain sight.
They WON’T be suspicious.
I CAN mask my dark mind and sordid desires…
That’s until I meet him. Lady’s Man. For the first time I see a person who might be the salvation I have been looking for. Someone who can extinguish the fire of evil that burns inside me, destroying me from the inside out.
Will he help me? Or will he bring me down, ensuring I lose everything?

You cannot go wrong with these books! Whether reading or listening the author and narrator is so good at keeping the readers attention and telling the story so that the reader is left wanting more. I love that while I have snagged this series every chance I get, these books can be read by themselves or in order. I also love the series that break off from each of these books. 10/10 readers will not be disappointed with any book this author gives us!
This author writes some of the best series I’ve ever read. I was hooked from the beginning, there is so much action it keeps you hanging on throughout the entire book. This series gets better with every book. The narrators do an excellent job keeping you engaged throughout the entire book. Pick up this series immediately you will not be disappointed. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
This is an author that I have enjoyed listening to from the first audible. This is a series that is entertaining and has steamy characters. A series you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed how the narrator was able to pull me into the story. They used different tones to keep the story engaging and had me coming back for more. It is an emotional roller coaster story along with twists and turns that left me wondering what would happen next. I really enjoyed listening to this book and highly recommend it.
This author is truly one of my favorites and this story of Rock and Becca was…. Wow… Fantastic!
Part of the Satans Devils MC… Rock has a secret… a gambling problem… and did not think anyone would find out until it comes out in the open in front of the entire club. Instead of facing a punishment… he leaves the MC compound and finds, what he thinks is solice with a new MC. When Rock comes into Becca’s life under just horrid conditions…Rock becomes her savior.
Is there more than meets the eye? This story has so many twists and turns…. Highs and lows… but this was one of my favorite stories in this series… twists I didn’t see coming a mile away which made me love this story even more. The author really packs a punch in many ways with Rock and Becca’s story. Both Rock and Becca’s characters tore at my heartstrings in so many ways….. I want to say so much but I do not want to give anything away…. Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Author did not disappoint! Rock Bottom is about Rock, a member of the Satan’s Devils motorcycle club, and Becca, a good church girl. From the beginning, this book captures your attention. There is action, betrayal, deception, and so much more in this book that hooks you. Read this book if you like love stories, being on the edge of your seat, action adventures, and steamy behind-closed-doors scenes. Rock Bottom was unique from the other books in this series so far because the action and adventure is the first thing to occur. If anything, this made me listen continuously, I couldn’t stop.
I nearly broke my phone listening to this one. I couldn’t believe my ears. I was heartbroken. I didn’t want to think it could truly happen. Rock betraying the Devils. SMH.
Rock is growing uneasy in the stable lifestyle of the new Satan’s Devils. Being a 1%-er MC used to mean something, now it means old ladies, a clean clubhouse, rules and kids. KIDS!!! What happened to danger and excitement? So when the chance to do something different, thrilling, back to what it used to be came up Rock took it. He didn’t know it would lead to new beginnings.
Becca has led a sheltered life. Her parents controlled her every move, from homeschooling, to not letting her talk to the girl next door, to picking her wardrobe, to picking her husband. Becca turned 18 and gained a husband twice her age. The controlling continued until he got sent to jail. He wasn’t going to let her go. He arranged special accommodations for Becca.
When Rock joined the Chaoa Riders, his new task was caring for the chore in the cellar. That chore was feeding the woman chained to the wall, Becca. Rock couldn’t explain it. He was drawn to this woman. Was it her strength, her vulnerability? Rock knew she wouldn’t survive if she didn’t get out of the cellar.
This is another amazing installment of this series. I have not found a bad one out of the bunch. I love these bikers and their old ladies. I got emotionally invested in this one when what Rock did came out and he ran. I love these characters. I love this series. I am 100% a Satan’s Devil for life. If I haven’t already said it, Rock’s story is fabulous, ah-maze-zing, fantastic, phenomenal!!!!
