This book I’ve been looking forward to since the first one! Shadow is the tough-as-nails enforcer for the Devil’s Handmaiden’s MC and I am absolutely blown away at how Earl wrote this one. I was on the edge of my seat and in tears at times, but the development of her character in this tale was just so well done. Serious Trigger Warning, but if you want to believe in someone being able to heal and have a life, this is the story.
This story picks up right after the events of the first book. As with the first book, be aware of content warnings. This story deals with some heavy subject matter that may be difficult for some readers.
I felt like this book is actually better than the first one. Where the first one was a good story, it didn’t have the overall feel of a usual MC tale. This story brings the atmosphere you would expect from an MC book. The intensity was higher. The suspense was better. You get to see how strong the women are to a better degree. Shadow’s character felt more real to me.
The one thing that I didn’t care for is there were times it felt like Panther’s heritage was fetishized. I’m not sure if it was written that way on purpose to reflect something about the characters since most of it was in dialogue, or if it is the way I interpreted it. Example: One of the characters says, “I’m assuming he’s Native by those awesome cheekbones and beautiful long, black silky hair… Can I have one of those for my next birthday?”
First, know going in that, as mentioned in the book description, this is not a sweet romance. There are no specific content warnings listed, but this story deals with some heavy subject matter and some on-page scenes that may be difficult for some readers.
I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this story, but in just a few pages, I was hooked. It didn’t feel like the usual MC tale, but the world-building is great. The characters have good dimension. The story has suspense, danger, and romance. Even though I had it figured out shortly into the book, I enjoyed that there was a good story line with the romance. The one thing I didn’t care for was how some of the guys don’t view the women’s MC as a true club.
Overall, I enjoyed the story. Looking forward to the next book.
This book blew me away! The second of the series, this one is incredible. Female MC club and these women are insanely strong characters. This book took me on a ride through all the emotions in my wheelhouse. I felt wrung out after reading this, and was struck by how profoundly this author was able to reach me as a reader and allow me to feel, and almost experience this storyline alongside the characters. Panther and shadow were amazing and their dynamic was powerful. Great book!!!
This is the second book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC Series. It is STUNNING!!!!!!!!! It is a fast paced and a standalone. I finished this book in one sitting! I couldn’t put it down. Drama, Danger, Struggles, Scars, Enemies, Survival, Family, LITERALLY EVERYTHING you could want in an amazing book.
The story is about a leader of a MC club that is focused on taking down a pedophile ring in Timber-Ghost. This book definitely showed a glimpse at how dangerous and cruel this world is. That children and teens actually live through this and have to find a way to survive.
Shadow has been through an immense number of struggles and has issues with allowing other people in and trusting anyone. She has a hard time with this especially when she starts to become involved with Panther. Will she be able to work through her issues? Will they be able to uncover the rings? Will they all be able to heal?
I definitely recommend both books in this series. While it is intense and gives a lot of information, it is a rollercoaster of emotions but in a good way.
Shadow has a horrible past. She works hard, with her MC to keep others from having the same happen to them. Her past makes it hard for her to have a relationship but she’s trying. Her world explodes with a difficult mission but her man is there, waiting patiently, to help her. Opinion This book is an interesting read. The plot is well thought out with a multitude of different characters that developed well. It is the second book in the series and I would suggest you read the first before delving into this one. This book does cover a good bit of sensitive material. I would caution anyone who doesn’t like darker books before reading this.

Earl – Review by Dawn Brown
I love a good women MC. Tink is the president of a biker’s club called the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. Her club also helps save people who are apart of sex trafficking. Tink has had a lot of tragedy in her short life. But it makes her incredibly strong. Tink only wants to find one person in particular, Hannah. I loved the character development throughout the story. You get action and romance.
“Noodle” comes in, is a Navy SEAL who is in Montana helping with an animal rescue. will he be the one to help her with the demons running through Tink’s mind?

Earl – Review by Helen Dawkins
As satisfying as the first book in this series. In first book we meet Tink and Shadow. Shadow has been through unimaginable things that shaped who she is. So, she does work most people can’t fathom. She is a vigilante.
Tink is the president of a biker club called the Devil’s Handmaidens Mc. This group helps save people who are part of human trafficking. The only person Tink wants to find is Hannah though. She fights her demons everyday trying to find her. Then there is Noodle aka Ellington aka L, will he be the one to help her with the demons?
This is the second book to Devil’s Handmaidens MC books. It’s the tale of Shadow, best friend to Tink. Shadow is trying to live her life with her demons. Shadow aka Zoey is fighting for some normalcy when she meets Panther. The two work together to save lives but will they fall in love as well? I liked this book a bit better than the first book Tink. I think I just like Zoey’s character better. Great books to read.
Stunning Stunning Stunning Cover!!! This is book #2 of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC series and it this author did NOT disappoint!!! Danger, struggles, scars….this story had it all I believe that this book could be read as a standalone…I soooo recommend reading the first book this series in order to get to know the characters.
Zoey aka “Shadow” is more of the enforcer to the Devil’s Handmaidens MC…but she is consumed by demons. What Shadow endured in her lifetime if beyond comprehension and it about broke me. Allowing others “in” and trust is difficult for her and that includes when she starts to become involved with Panther…..Panther knows all to well about inner demons and being with Shadow does not deter him from wanting her. Panther and Shadow work to uncover illegal traffic rings, will they be able to work together while trying to get past inner demons and possibly learn to heal?
I so recommend this series……this story just gutted me at times….the roller coaster of emotions that I feel with Shadow and Panther…..I am speechless…..but I am looking forward to the next installment…I am totally invested and all in!!
This is one action packed story. Shadow and Panther have both been through hell and back in their lifetime and that’s an understatement. Together they are trying to take down a trafficking ring which leads to suspense, action, pain, trauma and secrets beings reveals. If you venture into reading this series (can be read as stand alones) please check TW’s.
Zoey “ Shadow” Jeffries is the main character in this dramatic series. She is the enforcer for an all-female MC. This is book 2 of 5. I will tell you that this book had my attention from the beginning. Zoey, “Shadow” was sold into slavery as a child. She is determined to not let it happen to any other girls. So she and her bestie (Goldilocks) create an all females MC to help bring those who intentionally cause harm to little girls. She meets a Navajo horse rancher who determined to help protect trafficked victims just like their group Devil’s Handmaidens MC. There is so much more to Shadow that meets the eye. You will realize that as you read her story and you may feel a connection to her while learning more about her, I know that I did. It’s romantic, drama, tragic, and filled with women who know how to kick butt when it is necessary. This is a series that I really want to continue to read and in fact I am going to read book 1 “Tink” soon. D. M. Earl clearly has a way with getting my attention with this MC books.
Holy Cow! Prepare yourself for the wild ride that is the world of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC! This is my first read in the series and it ripped and gripped my heart, through and through. Shadow is a haunted woman who is fighting to rid the world of the scum that prey on the innocent. She is a badass who doesn’t hold back and kicks the crap out of those who desperately deserve it. I loved her rough and tough exterior and was able to see a glimpse into the scarred interior that motivated her. So I was more than happy to see Panther come along, with his very own wounds to heal. The two find out not only what they are made of, but how they are made for each other. I loved every second of it!
Shadows story will have you in tears and angry all at the same time. I could never imagine how someone could survive with everything she has gone through for years. Thank goodness Tink came into her life or she may not be here now. Everyone at the ranch has their own painful story but I believe Shadow (Zoey) has seen and been through the worst of the filth of humanity.
We all know from book 1 that Tink and Shadow and besties that will be there for each other no matter what. One would give their lives for the other and that is definitely tested in this book. Panther is Shadows’ fancy underwear secret. He will have her back no matter what. When Panther makes a deal to save a few girls all heck breaks loose. This is a must read.
This is the second book in this series and it is even better than the first one. This is such a gritty and intense story it will really pull you into from page one. There is so much going on with this book it will keep you on the edge of your seat, unable to stop reading. I absolutely love the characters in this book, and not just the main ones. All of the supporting characters have such a strong input into the book and really add to the overall storyline. These are all the kind of characters I could read about all day and not get bored. This is shaping up to be an incredible series and I cannot wait to get my hands on book 3.

I really enjoyed reading Shadow. The author had my attention from the very first chapter. This book was about suspense romance with action, drama, and so much more. The women in the story took crap from no one. The storyline had you wanting to know what happens next. I didn’t want to put the book down at all. The world building was amazing. The characters and plot was well thought out. Great job!
Shadow is the second book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC series. This book refers back to things that happened in the first book, but to me read as someone would still enjoy it and not feel lost even if they had not read Tink. The author focuses on Tink’s best friend and club enforcer Shadow in this book. We learn more about Shadow’s past and exactly why she is the way she is. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys MCs but I do recommend reading the author’s trigger warnings. Can’t wait for more of this MCs story.
Shadow is the second book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter series by D.M Earl. After reading the first book, “Tink”, I was expecting this book to be harrowing, but Ms. Earl didn’t mess around- she went for straight for the jugular with this story, masterfully shredding my emotions along the way….. This is another thrilling MC romance- a romantic suspense with triggers, dark themes, heart-wrenching emotion, drama, damaged characters, friendship, family, chemistry, tension, intensity, and finding love unexpectedly. Shadow, OMG- what a survivor she is- what a story she has to tell! She’s Tink’s best friend (whom we met back in book one), and the Enforcer of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. She’s a tough cookie, but she has endured so much in her life, survived against the odds. She has a mission to protect the vulnerable and to prevent the innocent from being abused by depraved predators. She has her best friend, and the MC- and her quest. Meeting a hunky horse rancher brings unexpected complications, of the emotional kind. What happens makes for a compelling read! I can always count Ms. Earl to deliver a heart-pounding, emotional, and tense read- and Shadow’s story takes things up a few notches. I was so engrossed in the story, invested in Shadow (and Panther) right from the outset, that I read the whole book in one sitting. Can’t wait for ‘Tas’ (Book #3)! Happy Reading…
This was a great 5 star read. This author has become a must read for me. I really liked Zoey, she was a strong character that went through some tough times. The fact that she was running her own MC with all women was great. When she meets Panther they connect on many levels and give us a heck of a story. I really liked all of the characters, they added a great element to the story. We get edge of your seat moments along with some steamy ones.The author pulls you right in with her writing. This is the 2nd book in the series but you can read it as a stand alone, but I suggest starting with book 1. If you’re looking for a great MC read, 1-click and get started today.
This was another wild, edge of your seat thrill ride from the Devils Handmaidens Motorcycle Club series. This series is a viewpoint from an all female motorcycle club rather than the typical all male motorcycle club, which I love as well, but I thought this take was refreshing. After enjoying book number one I became a little attached to Shadow (Zoey) and was incredibly excited that she would be featured in book two and we would get to hear a lot more of her story. This book was all that and more. I also really enjoyed the inclusion of Panther and the Navajo aspect that he brought to the story along with his own troubles he was working through. I will absolutely be continuing with this series and this author.
Whoa! This one is raw to the core. Full of bravery and heartbreak all at the same time. Lots of tragedy, twist and turns, this book will captivate you for the start and not let you go until the brutal end. Strong characters with great personalities. I recommend this book to anyone who love a great story of redemption, love and courage.Shadow by D.M. Earl My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second installment of Devil’s Handmaids MC and I have to tell you that D.M. Earl did it again. This book could stand alone but you really need to read the first one to get the feeling of the characters. Even though this book focuses on Shadow and her issues with the pedophile ring. She is the enforcer at the club and gives you more insight on Shadow. I can’t wait to keep reading this series to see what happens next.
This the first time reading D.M. Earl and this author knocked it out of the park with this one. I really enjoyed reading this one. I am looking forward to reading Shadow next. This book has a lot of action that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Tink is trying to stop the human trafficking rings and helping the ones who need it. If you like girls as the head of a biker club, then you will love this series. I can’t wait to keep reading.
Shadow is the second book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC which is an all-female MC thriller series. I really love the cover on this book and I loved the story. I enjoyed the first book and was looking forward to Shadow’s story. This is my favourite. It is raw, dark and gritty and not an easy read but it is a captivating read. It is jam packed with danger, action, suspense and tension. Shadow has lived in a nightmare. A life that no one should have ever be a part of. A young girl caught in the clutches of evil. Forced into a life in the shadows. She was born into the shadows. Now she has become the Shadow. She the Enforcer of the club she is someone to be feared, someone who gets things done others won’t. Revenge can be sweet………. It’s a wonder that Shadow and Panther have found their way to one another. I look forward to reading so much more from this series.
Intense! I mean really intense. Shadow/Zoey is dark and troubled on a good day and let’s just say there aren’t many good days in her life. Panther knew the moment he met her that he would make Zoey his someday. Not an easy task after all she has been through. Can she let him in? It is amazing, but make sure you read warnings for this series.
Shadow (Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber Ghost, Montana Chapter Book 2) By D.M. Earl 4 Stars
I’ve always loved Shadow when she appeared in other books. I am beyond thrilled that she finally has her own book. I always wondered what her story was. OMG what a story! This woman has been through hell and somehow made it back. It’s a wonder that she is still somewhat sane. I have a really strong stomach but when I read some of the things that she went through, I can honestly say, I had a hard time. The horrifying fact is that these things happen, women and children abused by traffickers. It’s disgusting and horrendous.
I’m so excited that Panther has entered her life. After everything that she has been through, she deserves some happiness. He has the strength and patience to break through her walls bro let her know that he loves her and will never hurt her. Before they can even see where the relationship can go, Shadow’s psychotic past rears it’s ugly head. Can she survive this time or will this finally be her end?
Tink (Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber Ghost, Montana Chapter Book 1) By D.M. Earl 5 Stars
This is my favourite book by this author so far. It was heartbreaking and heart lifting all at the same time. We’ve met Tink a few times in the Grimm Wolves series and I’m so glad the author decided to start this one. Tink is strong, independent and goal oriented. After being traumatized as a child, she has decided to make it her life’s mission to save as many as she can from human traffickers. A daring and noble mission filled with danger. She has almost everything that she wants or so she thought until Noodles walks into her life. He’s strong and caring and has been through enough rough patches to understand her. When Tink’s past catches up to her, can her club and Noodles keep her safe?
This is an amazing book which had me crying on several occasions. This is a fantastic start to what will definitely be an amazing series. I highly recommend reading this book!
I am loving the Devils Handmaidens series. This is the second book in the series. I loved the first book and will definitely be reading all the following books as they come out. However, I will tell you that this one definitely would work as a standalone if you haven’t read the first one. I love everything that this club stands for. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart. It is definitely a fast paced book. I loved Shadow. She is the heroine who has overcome a lot and still is a work in progress. Panther is a Navajo rancher and is the one to see past everything in Shadow’s past. Panther is the first person to really get her to consider opening up. This book had me hooked from the first sentence and didn’t let me go until the last. I definitely recommend picking this one up!
This is the second book in the Devil’s Handmadien MC. As with the first book in the series this is a really dark gritty story. If follow Shadow who is one strong woman. She comes across as scary especially being the MC’s enforcer, however like with most members we’ve met in the MC groups she is this way for a reason and her story is a heartbreaking one. The author does an amazing job of telling Shadows story in a way that is respectful but allows the reader to experience the pain and sorrow she went through. Now along with her friend Panther they are trying to uncover and stop the trafficking rings. Shadow wants to help other girls falling victim like she did. Shadow is one very broken individual who is trying everything in her power to heal herself from the physical and mental scars left behind and she does this with the help of her new family. Panther is shadows other half even if she won’t see or admit it. He knew from the moment he met her that he wanted her and no matter what she throws at him he never gives up. Together they work on stopping the trafficking rings but Shadow isn’t the only one holding on to past mental and physical scars. Can Shadow and Panther learn to work through their demons and help to heal each other? Or are some scars just incapable of healing?
This story is action packed, full of danger and at times a heartbreaking read. You can’t help but feel for both Shadow and Panther as they struggle with not only the dangers around them but also the demons they are still left to fight. It’s another amazing read in this series and I hope they keep on coming.
