Dark is the perfect description for Sam. His history with his “father” is something worse that I imagined it to be. I knew Finch was the scum of the earth but he has proven that title is too kind.
Sam manages to try and climb out of the darkness only after a misdialed call and fate has something else in mind for him.
Ellie is something else, she wants to help everyone and seems to have taken it upon herself to save them even if they don’t want to be saved and it’s taken it’s toll on her. Her need to save may be just what Sam needs.
I have throughly enjoyed these books, especially the amazing relationships the brothers have with one another. Though not raised together they have an incredibly tight bond which leaves no doubt on who has their backs.
I’m so excited to read Oz’s story but sad that this series is probably coming to an end.

I really loved the story line and how we got to see a glimpse into their thoughts. I haven’t read a story with those triggers before but I am glad I read this one because it just shows that not every love story has that perfect narrative but can still end up as a happily ever after. Even though we don’t necessarily get that HEA at the end, I’m guessing it will come. I’ll definitely need to read the books that came before this one as well to get to know the characters a little better!

I am almost half way through the book and I am so angry at Finch. I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. I didn’t because I really need to know how this is going to turn out and well it’s my kindle. Ellie is a 911 operator and has nothing to do with this crazy world of treachery. She is on the brink of ending the non stop pain she is in emotionally when Sam calls her by mistake. One phone call may save them both or plunge them both into the beginning of a nightmare. Sam’s past comes to light in this novel and this man has suffered the obscene cruelties of life at the hands of his father. This was the first book in which a dark sparrow is not used. Gabrielle is not heard from at all. What is happening at that end? No one knows.

I love that this series is not based solely on romance, but that there is action and drama. It sucks to see the brothers all still fighting their father, he is seriously deranged! My heart broke in the beginning to learn how Ellie and Sam were both feeling about life, but seriously awesome twist that Sam happens to call Ellie’s phone instead of his brothers and a bond forms between them. I liked watching Sam and Ellie dealing with and surviving in Jamison’s home and being basically held prisoner. The bond between the brothers, even though they haven’t known each other long is beautiful. Watching Ellie and Sam fight their inner demons and come together is sweet. At the end we get a glimpse of the next story which is involving Lazarus, fantastic name, and I have been most excited to read his story!

Dark Bastard by India Kells is Book five of the Dark Sparrow series. This is the first book Ive read of the series and it can be read as a standalone.
Sam can’t do it anymore. His evil father is still out there and honestly, Sam’s just tried of being so strong all the time. Now that he’s made his decision, he makes one last phone call to his brother, only he dials the wrong number. Who new one wrong number could save your life. Ellie gives so much of herself and sometimes it’s not enough and it’s exhausting. She just can’t do it anymore. Then she gets a phone call from Adam that completely derails her plans. She can’t help but be there for him.
This book has all of the feels. There is so much happening here with these couples characters, you can’t help but get sucked in. I had to know what was gonna happen next!

Dark Bastard by India Kells will pull you in from page one! The amount of sorrow and pain I was able to feel from Sam in the first few pages literally had me hooked. The author’s ability to express his feelings is incredible and had me wishing I was able to save Sam myself! By a simple mistake, Sam calls a woman named Ellie and so the story begins between the two. When tragedy struck both Sam and Ellie, I was pulled in once again. I had to know what fate had in store for these two. I had a really hard time putting this book down. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and ability to make intense moments seem very fast pace and exhilarating, but have peaceful moments feel easy and calm. It really made me feel like I was in the story!

Sam was the one mysterious brother. Dark is a good word to describe him. We never learned much about him in previous books. In here his world gets opened up to us. Its not pleasant or happy…its the complete opposite. Weirdly Ellie seems very similar to Sam. She is currently in a dark place. Her job must be so difficult at times then she can’t shake those bad days. Funny that Sam looks at her as his light when she has as much darkness inside her as he does. I enjoyed reading and getting into the Sons of Finch world again.
Seeing all his brothers again makes me want to re read a few of their stories. Then there is that Epilogue and intro to the next and last book. I CAN NOT WAIT! I always knew these two had some chemistry between them.

India Kells has once again won over my heart with her suspenseful and oh so beautiful dark romance with Dark Bastard, the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow novels. I would personally recommend that you start at the beginning to fully love and enjoy all these books for what they really are, but they could be read as standalones if that is more your jam. These books take you away and make you feel as if you are on a dark adventure of sorts and each one just gets better and better, not an easy task to accomplish for sure with these books as they are all phenomenal. With Dark Bastard we get the story of Sam and Ellie and what a smashing power couple they are! These two will quickly steal your heart and make you want to fall in love all over again. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next installment either!

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells
5 Stars (deserves so many more)
This is absolutely one of my favorite series ever. I’m loving this continuing storyline and these brothers just keep pulling me in. You really must read these in order to get the whole dynamic of what exactly is happening, and what has happened. Sam was always just mentioned in previous books, you knew he was there and played a huge part, but you don’t know what that part is until this book.
My heart strings were being pulled right from the first chapter. Both Sam and Ellie had such heartbreaking stories and yet were both so very strong. I felt every emotion in this book, and truly think it might just be my favorite of them all so far. That is hard to say because they are all completely amazing.
This part gave us a little more of the ongoing storyline, up close and personal, which was scary in itself. Each one of these books keep me on the edge of my seat and I’ve learned to quit guessing what’s going to happen next because this author has all of her own ideas that keep throwing me for a loop. I read this in one sitting because I literally could not put it down.
Lazarus is up next, and the little snippet at the end of this one has me needing that story even more.
I can’t recommend this series enough, read them in order, seriously! Then get ready because you will want to read them all over again and again.

5 Stars Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells
Dark Bastard is the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow’s Series by India Kells. I highly recommend reading the first four books if you haven’t already started them. Although this can be read as a standalone reading them in order will help in understanding what is going on and you get to meet the other brothers as well. This is a wonderfully written Romantic Suspense that once you start reading you won’t want to put down till you finish. This I must say is my absolute favorite yet. I’m a huge fan of this author and she never disappoints that’s for sure. This is Sam and Ellie’s story. Both of them have dark pasts and are both thinking about ending their lives. Sam accidentally misdials and ends up getting Ellie . These two are intense and will have you turning the pages while on the edge of your seat. Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Dark Bastard is the 5th book in A Dark Sparrow Novel series by India Kells. First of all, I have enjoyed other books written by Ms. Kells. She is one of my favorite authors that I discovered in the last year and a half. I would caution readers that reading this series in order would be most beneficial. Each book shares the story of the 6 brothers which help make this such a wonderful series.
The book did not disappoint, it is action packed full of interesting characters and brings together two people in turmoil when they need each other the most. Both Sam and Ellie are tired of giving their all to others and feel they are close to ending their lives. A misdialed call between the two of them on New Years Eve starts a connection they never expected. Can the two of them help each other in ways they never expected? I’ll leave that for you to find out.

This book is the 5th book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. I have inhaled this series. The story is intriguing and causes me to need to know what happens next. The story continues with Sam and the special lady named Ellie. Their story held me captive. I loved the way they were together. Even if they have a need to be the hero. But that only reinforced the fact that they belonged together. I need November to be here like yesterday.

It has been a minute since I inhaled a series this quickly. This is one I have to find out how it is going to end. Liam and Catronia’s story fed all my needs. I literally read this in one sitting. I refused to put the book down to do things like eat and adulting. I loved the chemistry between them. Add the forbidden note to the story (though it was not completely forbidden), my heart was so full. I am enjoying seeing the brothers come together to stop their crazy father. I totally recommend this series.

Dark Bastard is the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow series. It can be read as a standalone, but it has a much better impact if you’ve read the previous books to get all of the background.
I think this is my favorite in the series thus far. We haven’t gotten King’s book yet, and I have a feeling that one is going to be amazing, but for right now, yeah, this one is my favorite.
I loved Ellie. Even at her lowest point, she’s thinking about others. She handles the danger she faces bravely and keeps her wits about her. She accepts Sam as he is. Loved that strength in a female lead.
We finally get to understand Sam and what he’s been through. I love that he is willing to take the risk to love Ellie, even though he feels so completely broken.
Truly engaging read!

Dark Bastard A Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5 By India Kells ☆☆☆☆☆ This is another look into the Bastard Brothers. This is Sam and Ellis’ story. A romantic suspenseful continuation to A Dark Sparrow Novel. Ellie works as an 911 operator, her job is a continual phone call, all have their own traumatic event. She has had enough. Sam on the other hand has his own demons. The man he has known as father has pushed Sam into wanting to finish it all. Making what was to be his last call to his brother, ends up calling Ellie. That is where this story starts. But you will need to keep reading as there are no spoilers from me.
India Kells has once again drawn me into her Dark Sparrow series. I waited for this one and the suspense that I was waiting for happened. So much more was opened up in this story. Sam and Ellie are so much alike, both have open hearts and the need to help others, before themselves. I have enjoyed all of the characters in all of this series. But Sam and Ellie are my favorite. This is a non stop emotional rollercoaster of a ride. Well Done India Kells! Well Done!

On the verge of ending it all, Sam misdials his brother and calls Ellie, who also is on the verge. This was a book that kept me intrigued the entire time. But do kindrid spirits really fan the flame or will outside forces ruin what they’ve found?

This is the 5th book in this series. This is a Romantic Suspense novel and is 153 pages in length. This story follows Sam and Ellie. Sam was a soldier and was just about to give up on life. He meant to call his brother one last time but did a fat finger dial and ended up with calling someone named Ellie, who felt in the same boat as Sam. What better way to start to the new year than in God’s presence, right? Both have a traumatic past they are dealing with and feel they would rather not deal with it at all. That one misdialed phone call will end up changing their path in life forever.

I honestly just love this author so much; I’ve lost count of how many of her books I have ready and I’m sure each one just gets better and better. I am really enjoying this series and I think this may have been my favourite so far! Sam and Ellie – oh my – what a couple! I loved their story, Sam’s story honestly broke my heart sometimes, I just really wanted something positive for him in his life and I knew as soon as he made contact with Ellie, she would be the one to do it! Ellie had her past problems as well and I really felt for her, both of these characters had almost but given up until that fateful wrong number and from then on, I was rooting for them the whole way through! There are some parts if this story that will trigger some readers but as always, the author deals with them sensitively whilst remaining true to life. I cannot recommend this book enough – it really is an amazing, emotional and heart-breaking read at times and well worthy of the 5 stars I give it!

Dark Bastard is the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. I have read this series from the first book to this book, each one better than the one before it. The storyline deals with a dark subject. The characters are fully developed and complicated. One thing I love about India Kells is her attention to detail. She paints a vivid picture with her details. This book talks about the darkest secret of human emotions. Sam is struggling and has resolved what he feels he must do. He feels his mission is over on New Year’s Eve. He reached out to his brother, or so he thought it was going to be his brother. He, in fact, found someone else that he wants to help. He needs to deal with some darkness to be able to help Ellie. Will he be able to save Ellie and himself from the darkness? I highly recommend this book and the other book in this series.

This book was awesome. It was a Romantic, Suspense book fulled tension and edge of my seat awesomness! It is the 5th book in the series and it honestly keeps getting better and better. I didn’t want to put this one down and I was sad when it was over. I cannot wait to get my hands on more by this author and I would definitely recommend to anyone that likes a good romantic Suspense book. Happy Reading.

Dark Bastard is book five in the Dark Sparrow series by the enigmatic author, India Kells. There is nothing better than a troubled soul that finds the light. It appeals to my dark and twisted side. There is always an abundance of excitement and adrenalin inducing action. I love the evolving of each character. The author can spin a tale so the reader can almost feel like an extension of the book. I become one with the characters and there hurt is my hurt. Their triumphs are mine. Their tragedies break my heart. Sam needs to save Evie, while battling his own demons. Their charisma was spine tingling and the feeling between them was everything. Emotions were always high and anything could happen at the next turn of the page. A reader needs to brace. For anything. For everything. This author provides all. Everything a reader could ever possibly want or need in a romance. Its all there. Nothing is spared. An that makes this series, these characters, and this author, unforgettable. Losing a piece of my heart to each and every character is magical. 5 stars.

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells
4 out of 5
Once again India Kells takes you on a heart-pounding ride with these bastard brothers. The action and steam could light-up a small town. I was hooked from the first page and held on with both hands until the last. I can’t wait until the final chapter in this series!
Sam Sarkhan had his tribe until he was ripped away from everything he knew and loved by Jamieson Finch, the man that fathered him. Sam escaped him, once. Sam had found another family in the men that all carried the same paternal lineage, but none of the scars. Sam’s couldn’t battle the demons anymore. On New Year’s Eve, Sam decided he had fought long enough. Sam calls his oldest brother to say goodbye, but gets a woman’s voice instead.
Ellie McLaren answered Sam’s call. She had been on the verge of making the same decision that led Sam to place the call. After hearing Sam’s voice, Ellie decided that she still had things for which she wanted to live. Sam hoped to find a way to make things better for Ellie but instead dragged her into his world and his fight with Finch. Now keeping Ellie safe is all that matters to Sam, even when that means walking back into his nightmare. Can Sam escape Finch a second time? Will Ellie’s need to save Sam be enough to actually do it? Will Finch finally find the justice he deserves?
The story will have you hanging on the end of your chair to find the answers to those questions and so much more. Another amazing chapter in this series!

Dark Bastard is an amazing read, being the fifth installment to Ms. Kells Dark Sparrow series, Dark Bastard definitely did not disappoint. Having read her first four in this series I was eagerly awaiting book five to arrive on my kindle and was beyond excited when it did. This romantic suspense is filled with everything that a reader could hope for including drama, danger, action, chemistry, complex characters and more. Ms. Kells once again delivers us a story that keeps us on the edge of our seats and wanting more. So if your looking for a great romantic suspense series then I recommend this whole series but if you want to start with just one then I highly recommend Dark Bastard by Ms. India Kells.

Dark Bastard by India Kells is a novel in the Dark Sparrow series. This is a series that just keeps getting better with every new novel released. I loved how Sam and Ellie were first introduced to each other. It was so unconventional but completely captivating. I have read quite a few books by this author and I am never disappointed in her work. This book was fast paced and action packed. The author grabs your attention the moment you start reading and just does not let go. This is yet another fantastic addition to this series that I thoroughly enjoyed. I cannot wait for whatever is to come next.

I am lost and feel worthless ready to meet my maker but one wrong call changes my life forever, but can we survive long enough for her to piece me back together.
Sam is lost within a world of evil and sacrifice, now that he is within his brother’s love he feels worthless. With their father still on the loose and knowing what pure evil he is Sam is feeling that the best for him is to leave this world and fine peace with his mother as an angel, but as he makes his last phone call to his brother he dials the wrong number changing his life, attitude and will to live to protect this lost soul.
Ellie is broken, her work although rewarding is deeply hurtful also, being the last call for someone who is in need and sometimes not being able to get there is becoming more and more stressful for her, but on New Year’s Eve she receives a random phone call which changed her life and she now can’t let he creep back into the evil world, they need to find a way to play his father at his own game and crush him once and for all.
OMG I have been waiting for this book to read and it did not disappoint, I love this series and all the brothers but Sam’s story nearly broke me. I do have to say that I would not recommend this book if you have not read the others in the series, this is definitely not a stand alone book, with that said this story is what you come to expect from India Kells full of action, twists and a well written story which has you engaged from the first word to the last.
As you only grab glimpses of Sam in the other book’s you know that there is a brilliant story lurching in his past and oh my did this story hit the right spot. Sam was always a lonely soul and getting to understand his darkness was brilliant and well written, the story draws you in and you want to grab Sam and just give him a hug. Ellie’s character is the greatest to compliment Sam, with her broken history also but the inner strength she shows when in situations is a great adventure to read.
Will they escape the evil clutches of his father or will they both be lost in the world Jamieson Finch has created you will have to read to find out, but I will say one thing you will not be disappointed. Can’t wait to read the next book in this wonderful series. Thank you India for allowing my imagination to come alive within your stories.

Dark Bastard is the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. I have been eagerly waiting for this book to kit my Kindle ever since finishing book four. As I have said so many times before, Ms. Kell’s never fails to deliver an exciting read, and this story certainly delivered on that count. It is becoming harder and harder to choose a favourite from the series as Ms. Kells ups the ante each and every time. This is a fantastic romantic suspense- full of tension, action, danger, chemistry, intrigue, dramatic developments, gripping and suspenseful details, complex characters, sizzle, romance, emotion, family , hope, love, and plenty more. As with every one of Ms. Kells’ books so far, I was hooked right from the beginning, I really couldn’t put it down and was glued to the pages- completely devouring it in a couple of hours as I needed to know what happens. As expected, the story is superbly written, with a complex and multi-layered storyline that proved to be not only emotional, but also an exciting and incredibly engrossing read. This is Sam and Ellie’s story- and OMG did I feel for those two. So much. They have been through so much and I was so happy they found each other- but that’s not to say there weren’t a few anxious moments through the story. I could feel their sadness and the weight of their ‘burdens’. Sam was ready to end it all- but a misdialled number connects him with Ellie- and so the adventure begins. I love how Ms. Kells is a master of interconnected details- and how the details in this book help to build on the previous ones- building a bigger picture of the brothers and their on-going father ‘issues’. And even though this book could be read as a standalone, there is much to gain by reading the previous four books first- which really do help to build a ‘bigger picture’. Plus, the other books are superb stories in their own rights! OMG- I have already pre-ordered the next book, ‘King Bastard’- as it looks set to be amazing!!! Can. Not. Wait!!!

A cold New Year’s eve brought two sad and lonely people together through a wrong number. Sam and Ellie are two souls that were thinking the same thing. Sam picked up on the despondency in her voice and his desire to end it was gone. He had to find Ellie. Using his brother, Lazarus, skill, he finds her and their adventure begins. His father decides to wreak havoc and cause trouble. Sam and Ellie get themselves through this and prove love overcomes all. I love how the author ties together the two characters overcoming their issues to find the relationship they should be in. Though a bit dark, it’s also heartwarming and a bit of a tearjerker. I highly recommend
