This is a 6 out of 5 stars for me!! I didn’t want this book series to end but WOW what a perfect ending! This band of brothers has been battling their father this entire time but none as fervently as the oldest son. Until the love of his life bursts into his life! While shie is very strong & capable, she has a wonderful capacity to understand & trust him. That is IF he lets her!! I highly, highly suggest reading the previous books before this page-turner. I will definitely follow Kells for her future masterpieces!

This is the first book in A Dark Sparrow Series. This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Kells has really done a great job writing this.
Deva, a Dark Sparrow, goes to help Lazarus. He wants to watch his brothers and make sure he’s kept out of harm’s way. Little does Deva know that the brother is going to capture her heart. The quote I chose for Deva is: “I agree. And I couldn’t stop thinking about what Finch and my father had said. All those speeches about patience, about preparing for war. What if he was speaking about a war from within? What if Finch had prepared things way in advance, and placed his pawns in strategic places.”
Aleksei, Lazarus’s half brother, trains at the gym only to find his Angel there. He keeps her at arms length, but when he’s injured she’s the one to help him. Things get tough and he pushes her away. The quote I chose for Aleksei is: “You put yourself in danger! I told you to stay at the hotel under Lance and Kai’s protection, but you didn’t listen. You don’t listen! And now that I know you are safe, still breathing , still alive and whole…”
Cold Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #2)
This is the second book of A Dark Sparrow Novels. As the second book I’ve read by the author I can say I’ve enjoyed it. Kells knows how to capture a reader’s attention.
Zoe knows her languages and is requested by Beatrice for a favor. Keep an eye on one of Lazarus’s half brothers. Not sure what she’s getting herself into she goes. She finds herself going back to the past. The quote I chose for Zoe is: “You had love in your life, and even if you struggled and battled through some tough times, you had a choice to do something with it. Grabbing that power. I will never judge you for the decisions you made, that path on the dark side. I would have done the same thing. Hell, I’m doing it right now. At least love brought you back. You always have a choice, Archer. Never forget that.”
Archer Blackwood, moves from London to Chicago, a cold man needs someone who can translate languages for him. What he doesn’t know is his half brother is really looking out for him. Zoe has thawed the cold man a little. The quote I chose for Archer is: “Don’t put yourself in danger, do you hear me? Steer clear of Finch. You’re mine.”
Wild Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #3)
The third book in A Dark Sparrow Novels. Kells has really upped her game from the first two books. Lazarus is at it again with helping one of the many half brothers and Kells captures it perfectly.
Isabel is the next Dark Sparrow to be called upon the favor. What she doesn’t realize when she agrees to the meeting is she’ll be running right into the past’s arms. Jones isn’t who she expected to see and it gets better. The quote I chose for Isabel is: “No pressure. Because all I want is you.”
Kai, Delta Force, goes to another meeting in hopes to bring down his father, Finch. What he’s not expecting is for the girl who broke his heart and got away is the one that’s helping. Things don’t go as planned and it scares him. The quote I chose for Kai is: “Are you still set on returning to work tomorrow?”
True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4) by India Kells
Kells knows how to get attention with everything she writes. So far I’ve read all The Dark Sparrow Novels and I can’t wait for more. These characters will never be forgotten.
Liam, a cop and the fourth brother to Lazarus, is upset that they didn’t bring down their father. Gabrielle had to leave as an emergency came up, but she brought a gift. Someone to cut Finch’s money. The quote I chose for Liam is: “I never played you, in any way, Catriona. I’ve never liked deception. When I kissed you, it was because I couldn’t help myself. If Deva hadn’t barged in, things would’ve gone further than a kiss. I only stopped because I think you’re making a mistake.”
Catriona, very close to becoming a nun, is brought to Chicago to help a family out. With the eldest brother being in a coma she does what she can. When she uncovers something she runs, but she saves someone else. The quote I chose for Catriona is: “We’re on this earth to make mistakes. Do you think that’s the first time I’ve ever thought about being with a man, sleeping with one? When you choose a path, you have to relinquish several more. No one goes into a religious life without considering that, otherwise, the weight of the commitment would break you in two. I haven’t slept with anyone because each time I was convinced it was the wrong decision, until you.”
Dark Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel # 5 by India Kells
This is another great read by Kells. Dark Bastard was an amazing read and I can’t wait for the next one. It’s part of A Dark Sparrow Series, but can be read as a standalone.
Ellie is trying to live one day at a time, but being a 911 dispatcher is hard. Especially when she thinks she can save someone’s life. The quote I chose for Ellie is: “And you know nothing about me, Sam. And yet, you stopped that final jump because of me. We’re strangers who have lost their way yet found each other. I see honor in you, a protector of your brothers. You may have reached the end of your rope that night, but I believe your strength is still greater than your pain. I don’t care that I don’t know everything about you. I think that for the moment, staying alive is the only solution we have.”
Sam is feeling lost and ready to give up on life. He decides to call his brother only to get a wrong number. When he does hear the person’s voice it changes everything for him. The quote I chose for Sam is: “I couldn’t forget the sadness in your voice when you hung up on me. It’s the only reason I persisted. I want nothing from you, just the reassurance that you’re all right.”
King Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel #6 by India Kells
This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. The Dark Sparrow Novels get better each one I read. King Bastard is by the far the best and we get to learn more about the head guy.
Lazarus is known for protecting his brothers from their father. So far each of them have found their happily ever after. Sasha came into his life when it was at his lowest and she just might be the best thing that has happened to him. The quote I chose for Lazarus is: “I didn’t know you’d worked with her so many times during your missions.”
Sasha comes back to the states after being away for a while. She gets a call from Lazarus’ mother and now has a place to stay. Can she get through to Lazarus that they can be more than friends? The quote I chose for Sasha is: “Sorry. I don’t come home a lot, and when I do, my brain takes time to adjust. I compare the life here and back there, seeing the inequalities, and it blows my mind.”
This was one amazing box set. Dark romantic suspense lovers these are your books!

Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series contains the entire collection of books in the Dark Sparrow Series by India Kells. I keep saying it, but I have loved everything India Kells has written, and these books are no exception. She is one of my favourite authors and I one-click anything she releases, no questions asked. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a complete series in one exciting boxset. They definitely provide a riveting read, from beginning to end- as expected Ms. Kells has woven some really gripping, well thought out, and completely engrossing stories. Each book focuses on one of the bastard ‘brothers’ and the woman who steals his heart. But the brothers also have recurring roles in the overall series too. Each book adds to the series, building on what came previously, painting a bigger picture in the process, adding layers and facets to the overall storyline. My review for each individual book can be found on each title, separately, below is a general overview of this thrilling boxset.
The Box Set contains:
–Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book One) This is Aleksei and Diva’s story. If you are a MMA/ Russian Mafia romantic suspense lover, then this is one book you won’t want to miss.
–Cold Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 2) We follow Archer and Zoe through all the intriguing developments in this fantastic second chance romance. Even though I have adored all the books and characters in this series- this one dug itself a little deeper into my heart and is definitely one of my favourites.
–Wild Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 3) I loved Isabelle and Kai’s story, and I am sure you will too. There is danger, suspense and second chances that will have you hooked right till the end.
–True Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 4) This is the story of Liam Harker and Sister Catriona Walsh. The sinner and the nun. Yes, a nun!!! And their story was every bit as intriguing as you might imagine! I loved that this book also helps to build a bigger picture of the brothers and their on-going father issues.
–Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 5) Sam and Ellie’s story- OMG did I feel for those two. 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 began.
–King Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 6) This was such a bittersweet read for me. Having read all the previous instalments, I truly connected with this band of brothers and looked forward to following each one as they got their own book. So, knowing this was the last book in the series was sad- I was sooo not ready to say goodbye…. But at the same time, I desperately wanted to know how things would finally play out, but more importantly, getting a front row seat to the ‘Oz’ show- and what a fantastic show it was!! Ms. Kells definitely had me completely engrossed in the story- I devoured the book in a couple of hours, just so I could find out what happens.
These books are so well written with lots of complexities, depth, and texture- which resulted in exciting and incredibly compelling stories. There was a lot of funny quips and banter too, which help to lighten and balance all the action, emotion, and highly charged moments that occur throughout the series. I love the way Ms. Kells develops her characters, they are all fantastic, and entirely interesting (even the baddies)- pulling me further and further into the story, and always leaving me with a desperate need to know what’s going to happen next. Ms. Kells creates quite brilliant, intricate, and suspenseful storylines which included lots of action, danger, deadly games of cat and mouse, perilous situations, evil masterminds, lots of secrets, difficult choices, shocking revelations, electrifying chemistry, plenty of sizzle… and so much more! I really recommend this Box Set, as I am sure you will love it just as much as I have. I can’t wait for Ms. Kells next release, whatever that may be! Happy Reading!

All I can say is wow. This Book and series is a must read. I don’t normally read this genre but i gave it a go, I was not disappointed. Im sad this book is over, I’ll have to read more books by this author for sure.

I foolishly started with book 6 of this series and while I loved the story and was able to follow it well, getting to know all the characters a little, I truly believe had I started from the very beginning my enjoyment would have been enhanced. I HIGHLY recommend starting from book 1 and reading the entire series… this exciting action packed world will captivate you from the very first word. This story brings the events effecting all these wonderful characters to an exciting conclusion but especially the story of the very very Alpha Lazarus and the woman to capture his heart through all the turmoil, the Beautiful Dr Sasha. Lazarus seems to take on the weight of the world in this powerful story but Sasha is strong enough to see through all his walls to see the true Oz and together they will fight the battles before them. If you are looking for something new to read this series is a MUST read from this fabulous author.

I will admit I was dreading starting this book, not because of the story; but because I wasn’t ready for the end of this series. I quickly became invested in the lives of the brothers and was looking forward to seeing how they overcame the obstacles that were thrown their way by their father. Lazarus and Sasha’s story didn’t disappoint. I was hooked the moment that I started. The chemistry between them was tangible and I loved every minute of this book. I hate seeing it end, but man this story was the perfect way to go out.

I don’t know where to begin. This book has everything in it a person could want in a book, other than being the finale in an incredible series. You just can’t go wrong with a book from this author, she’s amazing. I know I’ll be looking for my next book from her soon.

I have loved this series and this book was just as good as the rest. I didn’t want this to be the end but at the same time I couldn’t wait to read it. This story is filled with action, suspense, danger, great characters, love, family and plenty of twists and turns. As soon as I started reading I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. I became completely invested in Oz and Saha’s story, I hoped that even though they are both fiercely independent and strong people that they would let each other in. You can read this book as a standalone but I recommend you read all of them for more backstory and to get to know all the brothers better. This author did an excellent job pulling me into this story and I can’t wait to read what’s in store for us next. I highly recommend this book.

“A desperate and cunning man is the most dangerous when he’s cornered.”
I have read a few books by this author in the past, and I always find it easy to connect with her characters. Lazarus and Sasha love to push each other buttons but you can’t fight the chemistry they have. Their story was full of intense suspense and a romance that will melt your kindle.
You might want to read the other books first, just to give you a little background information. Now that I know that all of Lazarus’s brothers are taken, I need to know their stories.

I am sad to see this series end. I’m excited to see what’s next for this author. This the 6th book in the story is the oldest of the King brothers. Lazarus’s one goal in life is to protect his family. From his own father! I could not believe this man, the one to take care of his wife and children. Instead he made them pay for being in his selfish way. This story got me so twisted. There was the father, the brothers and their families. All trying to find their part in this story. Lazarus must put an end to his family’s nightmare. Meanwhile his heart is beginning to open, while not the best time to. Lazarus might have found his soulmate, but can he protect one more person in his life? This was a fantastic series. Each one is better than the one before. There were so many suspenseful roller coaster rides. I was thrown into the depths of so many emotions. I recommend you read this series in order, even though they can be read as a standalone? I feel it’s a must to get familiar with the whole family. As the end pulls the series to a close. No spoilers will be found. Read the Series, you will be glad you did.

King Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel Book 6) by India Kells
5 out of 5 Stars
In this series finale, the author is able to wrap up all loose ends and bring all the characters together. I enjoyed this series from beginning to end!
Lazarus King is the eldest of the bastard sons. Lazarus’ plan to find and end his father led him to find all 5 of the other brothers. Now as the danger is finally closing in with his father on the run, Lazarus has pushed everyone away, determined to finish their father on his own. The only person that stands in the way of that is Sasha Landry.
Sasha Landry came back to Chicago to rest. Sasha didn’t expect that coming back to the closest place she can call home would put her in the crosshairs of danger. Sasha has been off using her medical skills in some remote part of the world. She is back and decides to stay with a colleague from her time overseas. The last thing she expected was that her colleague turned out to be the mother of the one man Sasha can’t see to get out of her mind.
Together, Sasha and Lazarus must figure out the latest plan of his father while keeping the brother and their loved ones safe. Will Sasha’s resilience keep her safe? Can Lazarus let go enough to allow his brothers to help bring down the man that sired them?
The author does not disappoint in suspense or twists! There are lots of both to be had. Be prepared to sit on the edge of your seat until the end. The only bad thing about this book is that it is the end of the series and my time with these characters. I will always be a Dark Sparrow in my heart!

I have enjoyed the Dark Sparrow Novels, and this was no exception. I love the writing of this author. She pulls you in to the story and you don’t want to put it down until the story is finished. This is book six in the series, you could read as a standalone but for me I enjoyed the stories leading up to this one and getting all the back story. Lazarus is the oldest brother of six and determined to finally take down his father, if he can find him. Sasha is a doctor whom Lazarus met in a previous book. Sasha is thrown back into his life when she shows up at his mother’s house. Lazarus has refused to admit that Sasha is the one person that can turn his world upside down. Admitting his attraction to her could mean she could be in danger too. He already has his brothers and their partners to protect, can he protect one more? More importantly, will Sasha let him protect her? This book wrapped up this series very well, though I didn’t want it to end, this world is one I love to get lost in. Am excited to see where this author takes me next.

Plot twists, great characters that grow on you and a storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seats is how I choose to describe King Bastard. While I’m not new to the series, the author did hold up to the reputation they made for themselves when putting pen to the proverbial paper and writing an enthralling story. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. If you are searching for a sign to start reading this series; this is it.

King Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells Five Stars
This is one of my all time favorite series by this author. I have been waiting to get my hands on this last installment and find out how this all ends. This is Lazarus and Sasha’s story. This book like the rest of the series is full of mystery, action and white hot sizzling passion. It has been a wild ride with the Bastards, each has a place in my heart. This book can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend you read the series in order. It will be well worth your time to get the whole backstory. This is definitely a 5+ Stars Book.

This is the sixth book in this series. I highly recommend reading the previous books in order to get the full scope of the overarching story line. Finally! We get to know Oz. It’s been quite a journey to get to this point, each brother bringing another layer to the picture. Loved Sasha’s character – brave, strong, resourceful. I found the direction that the author took Sasha’s past was interesting. It wasn’t what I expected and definitely added an intriguing layer to the character. There are a lot of other things I could comment on, but it would contain spoilers. Un-put-downable read!

I was so messed up when this book hit my kindle. I couldn’t wait to read it yet didn’t want to start it because I knew it was the end of another amazing series by this author. I literally love all of this author’s books, and it might just be because I just finished this that I’m saying this is my favorite. I knew the ongoing story playing out in all these books was going to end in a really big way and I was right. This part though had me feeling every emotion possible. I held my breath more than once and fell in love with Lazarus and Sasha. Oz had already won my heart more than once and I couldn’t wait for him to get his story. This was amazing, reconnecting with others from the previous books. Oz’s mum was perfect in this book!
The twists and turns will have you pulling your hair out, the suspense, danger and I could literally feel the determination of these characters to finally put an end to it all.
This was a perfect ending to an amazing series, one that I can’t wait to read again in the future back to back. Start from book 1, seriously..you need every story leading up to this one to get the full effect of what is happening. They are all quick reads mainly because once you pick each one up you won’t want to put it down and the next thing you know you’re finished. This author is amazing and I will always pick up any book she writes.
Sad that it’s over! Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Queue the muscle and tension! I haven’t read the previous books but I think even though i didn’t know the backstory, I could still make sense of everything! I’ll definitely be going back to read the others though! I really loved that Sasha and Lazarus didn’t want the attraction – it made for some good banter and tension throughout. I am so happy that Lazarus ended up with Sasha. They seem to be a great fit for each other!

This was a thrilling 5 star read. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down. Lazarus (Oz) quickly became my favorite in this series.
Sasha comes to Chicago to work, she ends up getting a call from an old friend asking her to help with something. Little did she know who her friend’s son was, Oz. When they came face-to-face old feelings came flooding back. You can feel the attraction between them but Oz tries to keep her at arms length to try and protect her. His crazy father is still on the loose and until he finds him none of his loved ones will be safe.
Will Oz be able to keep her safe? Will he finally give in to his feelings for her?
Overall I really enjoyed this book, it was the last one in the series. It can be read as a stand alone but it’s much better if you read them all. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from her. If you’re looking for a great series to read 1-click and get started today on this one.

This is the last book in this series and what an ending it was. Although I did not read all of the books (I think I missed the first two) I still fell right into the books, the characters, and continued from there. This book concentrated on Lazarus and Sasha. These two have been attracted to each other for a while but have pushed each other away because of personal priorities and misgivings. Finally they are doing something for themselves. As with the other books, these characters pull you in and make you feel like you are a part of the story. And the connections these brothers have, although hard to grasp all the hurt and issues they have is amazing. The author did a wonderful job with this conclusion to the series.

This is a final book in The Dark Sparrow Series. It was good, I definitely need to read the other books because the characters are developed and rich but I didn’t completely understand the back story and previous plots are mentioned. Lazarus and Sasha are a complete package and this seems to be happily ever after. The side characters make this book all the more entertaining. This is an action packed plot with crime and romance that had me so excited to keep reading. This has great cover art and I am disappointed that I was a bit lost. What would you sacrifice for family? A story true to its name the conclusion seems perfect for this book so I can only imagine the rest of the reads. I truly enjoyed this author and I will be looking out for the rest of the series.

This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. The Dark Sparrow Novels get better each one I read. King Bastard is by the far the best and we get to learn more about the head guy.
Lazarus is known for protecting his brothers from their father. So far each of them have found their happily ever after. Sasha came into his life when it was at his lowest and she just might be the best thing that has happened to him. The quote I chose for Lazarus is: “I didn’t know you’d worked with her so many times during your missions.”
Sasha comes back to the states after being away for a while. She gets a call from Lazarus’ mother and now has a place to stay. Can she get through to Lazarus that they can be more than friends? The quote I chose for Sasha is: “Sorry. I don’t come home a lot, and when I do, my brain takes time to adjust. I compare the life here and back there, seeing the inequalities, and it blows my mind.”

This book was both very sad for me and a relief at the same time. While I didn’t want this wonderful series to end, I couldn’t wait to see how things played out for these wonderful characters. Just like the previous books in this series this book is addictive and full of suspense, romance, tension, danger and oh so much more. While this book can be read as a standalone u highly recommend reading the whole series, as it helps build the bigger picture. Lazarus is the oldest brother and he has vowed to protect his brothers, and keep a last battle from them. Then Sasha comes into play and Lazarus must not only keep his brothers safe but also the woman he loves. Will Lazarus be able to keep everyone safe and live his life with the woman he loves? Or will their father win this final battle? You’ll have to read this book to find out.

He was a lone wolf until he found his brothers, trying to take down there father he nearly lost them all. Now they all have families I can let them sacrifice themselves for my vendetta.
Sasha was my shining beacon even if she does not know, I can not let my father know I have a weakness but can I live my life without her.
I have loved this series and finally getting to read “Oz’s” story was brilliant, I have always love Sasha as a secondary character and was the perfect pair with Lazarus. Sasha was full of sass and independence that only really could match the grumpy brother, this was brilliant that the story brought the softer side to him and I loved the interaction between the two of them.
The way the author weaved the web and the story through each of the books was brilliantly, I am sad that this is the end of the story and that we have to say goodbye to these great characters but can’t wait to read more books by this wonderful author.

Fantastic! The last instalment in a brilliant series brings Lazarus and Sasha’s story. This was dark and broody meets impulsive and snarky. I really enjoyed their interactions. A roller coaster ride of events filled with high stakes emotions brings this intriguing and suspenseful series to a bittersweet end. The author has done an exceptional job bringing everything together and keeping true to the characterisation throughout the whole series. Highly recommended.

Lazarus and Sasha are magical together. Lazarus does his best to come across as cold and unfeeling but his facade always crumbles when Sasha is around. She thinks that he hates her but it doesn’t take long for to realize just how wrong she was in her assessment. This book is full of love, loyalty, betrayal, heartbreak and the true meaning of family having nothing to do with blood at all. There is so much action and suspense in this book that I just couldn’t tear myself away. The ending was so sweet and perfect! This is actually the first that I read in this series and now I’m excited to go back and read the others.

I love love loved King Bastard! Now I know I have to go back and read books 1-5. This was the 1st book I read in the series and though it would’ve been nice to know the backstory going in, it still worked well if it were a standalone novel. Lazarus and Sasha have so much tension and attraction between them that it comes out at the very beginning. The development of those 2 characters as a couple was beautiful, despite the anger, bullheadedness, the need to isolate, and the absolute need to protect. Unfortunately for Sasha, Lazarus’ psychotic deadbeat dad is still out there, and though he’s lost everything he’s still very dangerous. Which is why Lazarus does everything to keep her at a 10 foot pole distance, but his resolve is breaking and he can’t deny how he feels for the good Dr any longer. Until Jamieson Finch is put to justice if it be behind bars or death, Lazarus needs to keep up the cold shoulder appearances to keep her safe. Is that really enough though? Do Sasha and Lazarus finally admit how they feel? What happens with Jamieson Finch? Me personally I need to go learn the backstory of not only Mr. Finch but Lazarus’ other 5 brothers! As for the rest of you, it’s time to read book 6 or start at the beginning! I wish I did but hey book 6 was good and I’ll read it again in succession after reading books 1-5.

What a nice ending to the series. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I am saddened to see this series end. I loved the series and all the amazing stories. In here we finally have Oz get his story. He has been the savior and helper for the brothers and now who is going to help save him?
I loved seeing all the brothers and their significant others showing up off and on during this one. We meet some newish characters who are developed nicely.
Overall this is a good story. Not my favorite of the series but still nice in its finality.

So here we have it the final book in this amazing series and what a book it was! I think probably my favourite book overall and I definitely didn’t want it to end. I was really excited to see where the author was going to take this final book and she definitely didn’t disappoint. I was completely captivated from beginning to end there was just so much going on that I couldn’t put the book down at all and read it in one sitting. I don’t think I was expecting Lazarus to steal my heart but her certainly did! The author had clearly taken so much time with the characters in this story because there were times where their words just leapt of the page with such depth of emotion. This really was a fantastic ending to this series and one that I 100% recommend (both book and series!

Excellent ending to the Dark Sparrow series. I was happy to finally get to see what was going on with Lazarus and to see if he would get his own happily ever after. As with the first five books in the series, this author really has a way with getting you hooked. Sasha is such a strong and independent woman, and she seems like just the right type of woman that Lazarus would need by his side. The trauma she has to go through while being held captive and then fighting Jamison alongside everyone else makes her truly awesome to me. Lazarus, like all his brothers before, acts like Sasha needs protected and can’t defend herself, and I know it is all for fear of losing her, but we know she is a total baddie and could handle anything that is thrown at her. I wish the ending was a little more dramatic, but I was very satisfied especially with the epilogue.
