5 Stars

I have loved loved loved this series. I already can not wait to read them all again. I didn’t know how much I loved the dystopian genre until picking these up. I don’t advise reading them out of order or as stand alones, the story is so heartbreakingly beautiful from start to finish that you would not be getting the full impact without reading them all.

I hate that this series is over but I love that it is because it is perfect the way it stands. This 3rd part had me all messed up, my emotions were all over the place and thinking I had things all figured out so many times and being wrong as many times made this part a slight favorite of the 3. I felt while reading like I knew these characters, felt like I was standing right beside them during this entire journey. I will not soon forget them and I already miss them!

I love the way this author tells a story, you find yourself totally immersed and real life just doesn’t come into play, I could not put it down and lost a few hours sleep to finish it.

Do yourself a favor and one click all 3 of these books that give you 1 story that I know you’ll want to read again and again!

5 Stars

So I totally messed up reading this book, I only read the very first Nikolai then jumped into this one…For me this was a big mistake. I was so confused trying to remember things and could tell there was so much that happened in between…but in true Shandi fashion she made it to where I’d get over those moments and then couldn’t put the book down. Shandi Boyes is in a class of her own, her talent is unmatched in these types of books. I will remedy my situation and have all of these books read in order very soon!

The action, the suspense, the emotion, the danger, the never knowing what’s going to happen next made this book completely amazing. There were parts that were seriously hard to read, but it’s a dark mafia romance..that kind of comes with the territory.

I’m completely amazed at how this author can continue to release all of these books in all different series and each one feels completely new. Her stories are never predictable and I love that. I loved K and Trey, I loved their sweet sides and their not so sweet sides, and how they bridged the communication gap they had.

I totally loved this book and in my opinion even though it can be read I suppose as a stand alone I truly believe they all need to be read in order.

Thank you Shandi Boyes for yet another awesome story!

Was not sure what to expect from my first book from this author but I am so glad I picked this book up. I’ll start with the writing flow which grabbed me from page one and literally would not let go, the storyline was completely unique and had me completely invested also in the first page. The emotions I experienced while reading this were totally unexpected and there was at least once where I didn’t even realize I had tears running down my face.

The synopsis intrigued me, the cover grabbed me, but the end result was me thinking about this story long after I finished. This author has earned a new fan and I know I’ll be reading this book again more than once in the future. I’ve already recommended to a couple people and truly hope they take the same chance I did because it was awesome!

Amazing Story… Many thanks to this author!

(This deserves so many more)

I’m sitting here staring at my screen speechless…Where do I begin?

This is my first book by Brandi Elledge, not sure why but it is, it will absolutely not be my last.

I won’t lie, I threw my kindle when i finished, I may or may not have also said a few curse words when it ended. When I was done I immediately pulled up everything I could find because I MUST have the next in this series, I was all ready to one click when I see it’s not even out yet. Throw in a few more curse words here.

This book was completely amazing..it had me reading till the yawns made it impossible to stay awake, then jumped back in needing to finish it, yet not wanting to because I didn’t want it to end. The flow of this story was complete and utter perfection…the genre is not one I normally choose, but the cover drew me in and some of the reviews had me too curious to pass it up. I usually get lost or lose interest but not this time. The dialogue throughout the entire story was so enjoyable and even though a few of my suspicions were spot on it did not matter, there were still some things I’d have never guessed.

There is no doubt in my mind that Remy has been added to one of my favorite supporting characters ever! “Bless her sweet ghostly heart” Then there’s Finn *insert huge sigh here* and this author transported me into the story and I felt like I was on Gabriella’s journey with her! This book was full of absolutely everything I love about reading. Finding a new author, falling in love with a book from a genre I usually struggle with, absolutely everything!

I usually make myself notes so that I can catch myself up before the next book in a series comes out…Im not doing that this time, this time I will just read it again, and probably again!

PHENOMENAL STORY!!! Many many thanks to this author, and please please please I truly must have the next as soon as possible!

This author has quickly moved her way up my favorites list, I loved Boundaries and was just praying there would be more to come and I was given that in spades. Holy Mackerel was I on the wrong track…I was trying to think like an author that was trying to completely throw off all suspicion and anyone thinking they knew what was going on and I completely missed the boat LOL Well played!! I don’t know how I was so far off the mark but I was and honestly did not know for sure who was behind what was going on till the last few pages! I LOVE when this happens!!

I could not put this book down till the end, literally when I couldn’t read I was text to speeching it, which is another thing I loved so much is that it worked well with my text to speech.

I love love love Valerie, she is someone we have watched come so far since the first pages of Boundaries, and is one of those kind of people maybe I shouldn’t understand or maybe even like, but her take action attitude and why she wants to take those actions are definitely something i’m sure many can relate to.

Her and Tim are so so so amazing together and I can’t wait to read more of these two and hope their future is what they both hope it will be. I love the friendships that are portrayed in this story and just loved the whole book period.

“ a story for another day” will have me waiting not so patiently for the next in this series. I’m kinda scared of what is to come, but also can’t wait.

You absolutely must read these both to get the full effect of this whole journey.

LOVED IT!!

I really enjoyed this story. I love this author anyway and knew I had to read this. It was super quick and the flow was easy. Watching these two dance around each other was fun, and although the ending was somewhat predictable it was exactly what it needed to be.

I wasn’t completely crazy about going back in time the few times it did but it did not take away from the complete enjoyment of what was going on in the Keys. I’ll admit I wanted to slap Cassie more than once, but I could also feel the turmoil that was messing with her head.

Harry was a dream, I loved him from the first pretzel and he was my favorite character in this story.

I highly recommend anything by this author, this was a great story, fun to read, fun to imagine being right there with this whole group.

Awesome!!

This was a super sweet simple read that read quickly. It was somewhat predictable but it’s a fairy tale type story so that was expected.

It had a smooth flow and the character development was spot on, including Bonnie and Clyde’s. I really liked Chloe, her personality was awesome and is one of those characters you’d like to have as a friend. The more I read about the ranch and the town I felt like her decision was an easy one once her life in New York blew up. I want to move to Kentucky now LOL

Sebastian was everything you want your leading man to be, well minus the past and all that entails. I loved his love for animals and also how he was with Chloe. I also loved the family aspect of this story, as well as the friendships.

As I said above, this was a sweet read and one that I would recommend to anyone, this author did a great job with all of the characters making them feel as though you knew them.

Awesome story!

Being Lost (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #1) by Manda Mellett

5 ++++ Stars

I could not wait to get my hands on this one. We met and visited the San Diego Charter back in Darts Book, as well as learning the story of Dart, the new sitting VP and his adorable wife, Alex. I believe this is also where we first met Lost. Then enter Patsy, who we met in Inks book. I actually didn’t think I’d ever see Patsy and her son “Dan” again. Surprise surprise!!

I’m not even sure where to start with this review except to say I Loved It!! I fell in love with Lost just by his photo on the cover, and learning more about him and his insecurities just strengthened that. Add in that him and Patsy are not spring chickens and I was completely done for. Their story totally touched my heart and will absolutely be one of my favorites of all..Thats not easy to say because they are all special but this one just a bit more to me.

I love that I’m able to be a part of watching a new chapter begin their start within this series. I felt the same way when we met the Colorado chapter and after meeting all of their members I’m chomping at the bit to get my hands on the next one. This author has ruined me for any other MC series. MC’s are one of my favorite genres and Manda checks every single box on my list of what I love most. So many books yet every one of them is different while still holding on to that main important aspect of it all being a family. I’m so looking forward to rereading this whole entire Satan’s Devils world someday.

Super curious about what was going on in the last few pages of this book, and can not wait to see what that is all about. Some answers were never received in this story leaving things wide open for Lost and Patsy. Also no hidden clues about who the next book is about, or if there was I totally missed them.

LOVED IT!!! I NEED MORE!!

5 Stars

This author crept up on me in the first book of this series and literally blew me away. This story was no different and with the addition of her son’s input and the what if factor finished me off. What an emotional read! There were a couple spots where I found I had to put the book down because I couldn’t see through the tears. After reading the first, which by the way still brings back all the emotions as if I was still reading it, I had a feeling there was more coming, the minute I could physically have this book on my kindle I did.

You have to be able to focus while reading. Any distractions could leave you feeling confused, so if there’s any warning from me, that would be it. There are some tough parts that were a bit hard to get through but life with this kind of condition can’t be all sunshine and roses unfortunately.

I’m not even going to try to sum up anything storyline wise, You have to read this, but I do highly recommend reading the first book and not just the stories in each but cover to cover.

This was a Phenomenal story that will no doubt stay with me for a long long time. I will absolutely read both of these again maybe more than once.

Feels weird to say I loved it, or I enjoyed it, but it doesn’t feel weird to say I literally could not put it down and hated when it ended…

Before I go any further I must comment on this cover..Holy Moly how beautiful is this?? Even if this wasn’t already one of my favorite authors EVER, I would have read this book because of the cover.

So now that that’s out of the way.. I loved this book, not surprising because I love all of India’s books. The Sanctuary Chronicles series sits up as one of my favorite series and I couldn’t wait to get Finn’s story. Who doesn’t love a Vampire / Witch story, especially when filled with every emotion possible. I sat down with this on a break and that break lasted till I was reading the last word.

You could, I suppose read this as a stand alone, but don’t do that, the characters throughout the series come in and out and I’m so thankful I have the others already in my head. I can not wait for book 4 and have also decided to read all of these again before the next comes out.

RUN don’t walk and grab this whole series!!

*Sigh*

I am pretty convinced that every time I finish a book by this author I have the same response…I want more, OMG that was so awesome, and I need more Tamara Ferguson.

Not even sure how to review her books anymore because I’m out of words to explain how awesome she is. I Love this series and this one touched me a little more because of the circumstances. I have a grandson on the severe end of the spectrum and this story was nothing short of perfection. My heart was completely invested throughout and then add in the suspense and I was a goner. Then as if all of that isnt enough, these books take place in Wisconsin, the place I call home…This book mentioned a lake that I have literally spent a lot of time on as it’s just south of my hometown…

I instantly fell in love with Zach, Beth, and Kyle as well as many of the other characters..This was a touching wounded warrior story that just proves that love is more powerful than anyone realizes.

This is an awesome book, part of an awesome series, written by an awesome author..You must give this a one click, you will fall in love and want the rest of the series.

This is my 2nd book by this team of authors and I loved it! The beginning of the book had me literally feeling everything that was going through Vashti’s mind..Her emotions jumped off the pages and were written beautifully! Vashti’s character building might just be up there with some of the best. I truly felt like I knew her, and I could actually see everything she was seeing. This was awesome!!

As the story progressed and other players were brought into the mix, I found myself so engrossed in this story that I could not put it down, and truly did not want it to end. I knew there was more to everything than what I was seeing, I just kept waiting for it. The subtle way this story revealed itself was nothing short of perfection.

These two authors are amazing together and the way they reel you in is so much fun and even though you think you know what’s coming, and even though you might be right, it’s still a surprise when all plays out. I dont have the words to explain all of this correctly but just know that this is a must read, I loved it and will be reading it again, and my hope is that these 2 authors keep going…They are fiercely talented!

Highly recommend!

This book starts right where book one ends. I could not wait to get my hands on this one. I love time travel and Miss Nemechek has so far hit this series out of the ballpark. I love it.

Not going into any of the storyline because of how book 1 ended and I don’t want to give anything away, just know you must read these in order to get the full effect.

I loved this book as much as I loved the first one and already can not wait for the next. It has such a great reading flow, so great in fact I was finished before I knew it. It was a one sitting read because once you get started you can not put it down.

Highly recommend!!!

This is the 5th book in this series and I’ve read all of the books before. I love this series and this author’s style of writing, the way she can merge in storylines and although being a partly romantic series she has a way of making the romance only come forward when needed, while you’re focused on the suspenseful part of the series.

I really liked this one, and it was nice getting to see the gang again. I loved the lab under water and would have loved spending a whole lot more time down there, this fascinates me and loved this addition to the story.

I highly recommend reading all of this series since the characters are in and out of all the books, you’ll find that you love some and then some you’ll have a little less love for but as a whole it all works perfectly.

This is a very quick one sitting read

Loved it

This is my first book by this author and definitely will not be my last. I love a good family novel especially when it deals with real life issues.

I will admit there were times I got totally confused and lost in the story and had to go back and read a few things a second time to get on the same page as where the author was going. There were a lot of moving parts to this book and again it took me a bit to catch on in a few places. In saying all of that, this had an awesome storyline and some great characters as well as some not so great.

I really felt like the author tied things up nicely at the end and even in the few places I wasn’t able to get organized in my head, in the end it was all ok. It did have an easy flow and I think I would actually like to read it again after a bit of time, and I would absolutely recommend it.

Ok this book was a complete surprise to me. I started out being totally fascinated with the synopsis and decided to give it a try. I don’t normally read this genre so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I started it and as usual with this genre I got totally lost. I almost gave up but this is when reviews are so important, I read many of them and realized I needed to go back and try again. I had to be missing something. I am so so thankful I did.

I will say you don’t want any distractions while reading, it really does take focus to keep up with everything that is going on. Once I started again I was completely hooked and then could not put it down. I love how this was left wide open to a possible next book and truly hope that happens.

I was confused at the end because I dont think Ive ever in reading a book hated someone so much then ending up with them being one of my favorite characters and really hope that’s who gets the next book. I think that one would be a ton of fun especially how this one ended.

Grab this book!! It was awesome, do not give up, if you lose it, go back I am so glad I chose to do that!!

And once again we return to Spicetopia, a place where dreams and fantasies may come true..even if you had no idea these were your dreams and fantasies lol

This one might be my favorite of all so far, that’s hard to say because they are all amazing for different reasons. You can absolutely read this as a stand alone but don’t, reading every one of these makes the spicetopia journey nothing short of perfection.

Phoebe Alexander is without a doubt one of my favorite authors ever, she has managed through many stories to open my eyes to things I had no idea even existed. Absolutely adore her and will as always read anything she comes up with.

This is Makenna and Ty’s story, both visiting Spicetopia for their Bachelorette / Bachelor parties. Celebrations of both of them marrying someone else… I loved so much about this book, the scavenger hunt was amazing and of course these 2 ended up paired up.. The twists caught me completely off guard.. Well played Miss Alexander!!

Not going into any more detail, you must read this series, as I said this one might just be my favorite so far, and I say so far with high hopes that Spicetopia lives on for a long long time 🙂

I am a self proclaimed dedicated fan of Sylvie Stewart, I’ve read many of her books and one day plan to read them all. I really enjoyed this one although maybe not my favorite so far.

Not sure why but it took me a bit to get totally wrapped up in the story and that’s unusual. I did love the characters. The back and forth of Milo and Jill was fun to read. I love a good friends to enemies to lovers story which is what kept me in this book. I don’t know why but I didn’t really like the going back in time part. I’m not sure if there was just too much of it or what I had a problem with, I did skim quite a bit of that. I know it was needed but for some reason a lot of it did not interest me. I think it might be because I enjoyed the present day so much that I didn’t like breaking off and going back. I have read Jenna’s Story but I need to go back and read The Nerd Next Door because somehow I missed that one.

I did still 100% love this book. I love this author and will always read whatever she offers. I can’t wait for book 3, Ponch and Andie I have a feeling will be fun to read.

I got very little sleep last night because of this book. I just wanted to start it so that when I got up this morning I could jump in having already begun. NOPE, I literally read the whole thing, I could not put it down. This is my first ever read by this author, and I think my first middle grade book ever, I’d have to double check that but I am telling you right now..Trust me on this, I don’t care how old you are this was an outstanding book. The writing was phenomenal which is why I couldn’t put it down. Then I fell asleep sniffling because I bawled at the end.

I just wanted to jump in the book and hug Rocky so many times, I also wanted to play his chauffeur and wanted so badly to jump in the middle of his and Olive’s plans. Olive scared me at first, I wasn’t sure, but she turned out to be exactly what I’d hoped for. Then there was Max, again he scared me, but his character has given me hope that maybe there will be more? My heart also broke for Mom once I finally understood everything that was going on. I can’t even imagine!

Run, don’t walk and grab this book. It really is amazing, and I will be getting copies for my older grandchildren who I know would love it as much as I did.

What in the world did I just read? I’m an emotional wreck after this story. I finished it yesterday and am having a really hard time organizing my thoughts so I can write a somewhat intelligent review LOL

I think I can safely say I’ve never been bounced around as much as I was while reading this book, Bailey and Cooper literally wore me out! One page I wanted to smack them as hard as I possibly could, then the next page I wanted to hug them as hard as I could. This went on the entire book, there was never any calm or relief, even when there seemed to be I was afraid to hold my breath cause I knew it wouldn’t last. There was so much strength lacking in this story for our main characters, one needed strength to fight to keep and the other needed strength to walk away. I was so angry through so much of this, a few of the characters literally had me raging mad. Then there were parts of this that had tears running down my face. This was the exact definition of a beautiful disaster, and gives a whole new meaning to love / hate relationships.

In saying all of that I could not put this book down, well until the end when if I could afford a new kindle I’d have thrown it and then stomped on it. I need more!!! I’ve stalked everywhere I can and do not see the next one yet. This can’t be!!!

Well, this is my first read by this author and absolutely will not be my last, I will be patient and will make notes for myself because although I will reread this in this future, I’m going to need time to get over it LOL

A Book Signing To Die For: Beach Reads by Judy Moore

5 Stars

This is my 4th book by this author. It has become clear to me that she is a definite go to for my mystery cravings. I’ve loved all of them so far and I want to say that this one is a definite favorite.

I loved everything about this story, I think I have to point out though first that one of my favorites in Somebody in the Neighborhood played a really awesome part in this one which made me really happy!! He remains a favorite of mine. I loved the community and all of the characters. A few were a little sketchy but they were supposed to be to make this book a success. I want to walk into Beach Reads, grab a book, find a table and just spend a whole day reading and hoping Coquina will walk by a few times 🙂

Just like any of the other books I’ve read by Judy Moore, I think I have it all figured out about 90 times while reading, then talking myself out of it 90 times, never getting a firm grasp on the answer till the end. I Loved Loved Loved Beck. I loved that even though something happened in her past that led her on the course she was on that she didn’t let that stop her from following her instincts. She believed, therefore she never gave up! I truly truly hope there is more to come for all of these people. I could read a whole series with all of them and still want more! There was no cliffhanger but it ended with definite room for more, and I just can’t get enough of Scratchoff running around on his beach bike!

I truly hope Beck gets to explore more of what she always wanted to be and I think her doing that would make for some awesome storylines between her and Devon!

You talk about feelings and thoughts being all knotted up after reading a story…This one definitely had me all confused about how I felt after reading the last page.

Not sure how to review this book, do not want to give anything away but know that I really enjoyed it, there were times I couldn’t read it fast enough. I love how the story weaved around with a few different moving parts. I love how there were times it was a bit dark and then there were times I actually smiled. I loved the character development and wasn’t too sure about Valerie at first, as it didn’t really seem she was too sure about herself, but as her story came out and relationships started forming, I found myself completely connected to her and weirdly understanding all that happened in this book.

I really love this author and how she is able to make me feel what the characters are feeling and getting so wrapt up in my reading that nothing outside the book really registers till I’m done.

Awesome and I can not wait for more from this author!

I loved this story, Kara was an awesome character and the adventure and fantasy aspects of this book had me hooked. I love the lessons involved in this story that anyone that doesn’t think the most of themselves could learn from.

This is not my first book by this author and absolutely will not be my last. It’s nice to take a break sometimes from the heavier books I read to let myself into another world, it was like being in a fairy tale land and you get really comfortable in all that is Starrycrest.

I have a couple granddaughters that I’m going to give this book to, as well as the first 2 I’ve read. I truly believe they will love everything about these fantasies and walk away with some truly helpful thoughts to carry through their teenage years and beyond.

Loved it and can’t wait for more from this author.

Ok so Im not that into reading super sizzling hot books and the page count kind of scared me because I thought well this will be a quick sex filled under 30 minute read with no substance in the storyline.

WRONG!! I chose this book because the whole merman idea fascinated me and the cover…well…it speaks for itself!!

This was in fact a super quick read coming in at only about 42 pages, but I am amazed that at the end of this I actually felt like there was a lesson for all contained in the few pages, a lesson that everyone that has lost all of their self esteem during an ugly break up could benefit from. This book was definitely steamy and some of Mayim’s dirty talking literally made me blush.

I really did enjoy this story and not just because of the heat factor.. I loved the ending and can not wait for more in this series.

This was an awesome story, it moved quickly and I was able to read it in one sitting. I couldn’t wait to read Audreys book after finishing the last one. I love second chances especially when filled with both having secrets, and in this case pretty big secrets. I will admit Silas was not my favorite male lead but Silas and Audrey together made up for it.

I loved the little twists and turns this story took and it pulled at many of my emotions and I wish there had been a little more depth to the character building and the connection shared years ago which might have helped in feeling a bit more of a connection. In saying all of that and this not being my favorite of the three I still really enjoyed the story and if there is more to this series I will absolutely be reading them.

I love this author and she has a solid spot on my must read list!

I recommend this story, actually all of this series..They can be read as standalones but grab them all, you won’t be sorry!

Heart Broken (Satan’s Devils MC Book 5) by Manda Mellett

5 ++++++ Stars

I knew going in that this would be a tough book to read and oh how right I was.

I went from loving Heart, to hating Heart, to wanting to crawl through my kindle and smack Heart, then I wanted to Hug Heart, I was an emotional wreck while reading this. His story spans 3 books, well actually 4 if you count the novella that I’m buying today. Although there was again a whole lot going on in this story, this author found a way to tie up so many things and also somehow tie them all together even if just slightly.

Not going into any of the storyline, these books need to be read in order and anything I say here will ruin too much. I am so in love with everyone in this MC. I love the loyalty, the friendship, and the family. I love how each one of these guys are forever single, till they aren’t LOL

Manda Mellett is a master storyteller and I can confidently say that yes I’ve read a lot of MC books, and have loved many, but these are absolutely my favorites.

Peg is next!! I Love Love Love Peg!!

Grab all of these!

Wow this book had a lot!!..So much going on through the whole story that theres no way I could sum it all up in this one review, Just know that these first 5 books of this series should absolutely be read in order..There are ongoing stories and issues being dealt with and Im afraid picking any of them up out of order will not give you what you need to fully appreciate everything.

Oh my goodness, Dart and Alex and this club, whew what a ride this was. Danger, heartbreak, fear, bylaw changes, betrayal, love, and a few scenes that totally blew me away and not in the best way. Then bring in Heart’s continued story and I’m literally emotionally wrecked! This author has no fear of tackling some tough scenes.Scenes that you just dont normally have pop up in books, and if they do there are usually saviors rushing in, but she plays these out and it floors me. She has like a million books in all of the Satan’s Devils spread out through a few different chapters and cities and I just can not figure out how she can have this many books and each one is so very different!

I cant find the right word to sum up this Author’s talent and give her the justice she deserves but if I had to pick one or two they would be Brilliant Perfection!

Jumping in to book 5 now…cant wait but also am so scared, i just know this one will be the heart breaker that will finish me off!

READ THESE BOOKS!!

5 ++++++++ Stars

Once again, I’ve read this series from #6 on, and have even read the multiple series that have broken off from the Tuscan chapter and have just recently gone back to read the first 5 of this series. It’s awesome because I feel like I already know all of these people, yet have always had this little question mark in the back of my mind as to where and how their stories began.

This one came right out of the shoot tearing at my emotions, and I’m not sure those emotions ever evened out while reading the rest. This one kinda sorta has two storylines, one started back in book #1 and I love the way that was all handled..took me a second and I was like whoa hold on this sounds familiar then I actually went back and paid attention to the times given to me at the beginning of the chapters.

My heart is still completely broken and there’s parts of this book that will still play out later and I’m actually not looking forward to those because I know they aren’t going to be easy. Not going to go into any of that because it really just needs to be read to appreciate all of the emotions.

Slick has absolutely positively won every ounce of respect I can muster up, I felt so bad for him because he didn’t know the whole story about Ella and what she went through and acted rashly, as well as how Ella was dealing with it all. There are alot of moving parts to this whole book, and in some ways it’s because I know what is to come down the road. This is now another of my favorites from all of these series and can not wait to jump into the next story which I will be doing as soon as i’m done typing this review.

Please do yourself a favor and lose yourself in this Satan’s Devils world…it is absolutely positively no doubt about it my favorite MC of all books I’ve ever read!

5 +++++ Stars

**Sigh**

I knew it, I just knew that reading Drum’s book was going to be an emotional ride and it didn’t let me down. I’ve read all of The Satan’s Devils books from #6 on. I’ve just recently read book 1, Wraith’s story. It seems every book becomes a favorite of mine for one reason or another, but I’ll say that Drummer has always throughout this series and even some beyond held a special place in my heart. I can confidently say this is my favorite of all of the Satan’s Devils I’ve read to date.

This one was full of everything I love about Manda’s books but had that little touch of something extra. I can feel how strong this MC is growing. The strength, the brotherhood, the loyalty, and the family. It’s all because of Drum’s leadership and it blows me away.

It was awesome to read Sam’s story, there’s been many references to how she came to the MC, but getting the whole story was what I needed. I love her, and her character was written from start to finish with her future status in mind. Perfection!

Every single story is different in that the main storyline always offers something that makes me wonder how she does it, the addition of new characters, mentions of other MC characters, making me look forward to what is to come in this series.

Drummer and Sam’s book again, will always be a favorite! Dear Lord, if you have not opened the world of the Satan’s Devils, you must do so, I literally can’t imagine not having these stories in my life.

Turning Wheels (Satan’s Devils MC, #1) by Manda Mellett

5 +++++ Stars

My first book ever by Manda Mellett was Peg’s Stand, which is number 6 in this series. I’ve read every single book after that and have always wanted to go back and read the first 5 and I’m thrilled I finally have the chance to do that.

Wraith and Sophie have always been 2 of my favorites and reading this story was tough in some spots and made me cringe in others, but also made me smile, laugh and even cry. I love this club, I love the family feel, and the loyalty factor is second to none.

Sophie has been through so much just trying to help a friend escape an abusive relationship, and it’s not even over for her yet. Her friend managed to escape so the abuser is coming after Sophie for information and leverage. She is whisked away by an unlikely protector to the US and this is where we meet the Satan’s Devils MC. They have agreed to protect Sophie, which comes with many more issues she has to face.

Next to Drummer, Wraith, and Soph I think Peg was my favorite character in this whole book. I had some favorite scenes as well, the phone scene was AWESOME and I almost felt like I was there watching these guys fall out of their chairs. Now I must jump into Drummers book, the book I have probably looked forward to the most.

Grab this as soon as possible and take the Satan’s Devils journey.
