This series is one of my recent favorites! I read the last 3 books in the series first and told myself I need to read the first 3 books so I can learn more about the other brothers. I was very excited to find out the 6 books came in a box set! The stories are easy to read, as you read them you’ll connect with the characters, danger and intriguing moments keep you interested, and along the way love blossoms for each of the very sexy sons.
Each book is about one of the many bastard sons of Jamieson Finch, a ruthless evil father, who left his sons and their mothers to fend for themselves. Along the way, each son finds their true love and the couples become a close knit family as the brothers work together to bring their father down and prove how a family can work together for the greater good.
Book 1: Lost Bastard is about Aleksei and Deva Book 2: Cold Bastard is about Archer and Zoe Book 3: Wild Bastard is about Kai and Isabel Book 4: True Bastard is about Liam and Catriona Book 5: Dark Bastard is about Sam and Ellie Book 6: King Bastard is about Lazareth and Sasha

This book was okay. I had a hard time getting into the story, but that was just me. Nothing against the book, it just wasn’t my taste. It had a good plot and the characters were well developed.

I am generally very picky about authors, their writing, and genre of books I read. I have my favorite authors and it’s rare that I steer away from what I know I like. I was questioning if this was a book I would enjoy!
I should’ve given Truth or Kill the benefit of the doubt. It was a great book, with twists I wasn’t expecting. The characters are wonderful. From their names, personalities, how they mesh together, and then how the plot develops.
The book has the feel of a “game board” and keeps the writer guessing what is going on.
Can’t wait to check out the other books by this author!

Kramer – Review by Brittany Carlin
Bobbi has walked the line between two worlds for a while now. Now those two worlds are life and death.
New York City, 1995
As a teen, Roberta “Bobbi” Wallace made her debut in high society. Now she’s making her debut as detective only a few years after a dare led her to join the NYPD.
Max Buckley, a product of Brooklyn and a fifteen-year veteran of the NYPD, is forever changed when Bobbi is assigned to replace a cocky rookie killed in the line of duty.
New York City is under siege, possessed by a truly diabolical serial killer dubbed The Bathtub Murderer. Assigned to a task force to identify and stop the killer—and against Max’s best advice—Bobbi goes undercover to catch the man killing women who look like her.
As the squad attempts to solve the puzzle of the serial killer’s bloody obsession with hazel-eyed brunettes, Max and Bobbi try to balance their jobs with their undeniable connection. Now that Bobbi has stolen his heart, can Max prevent her from becoming the Bathtub Murderer’s next victim?
The Blood Obsession Series follows the detectives of the NYPD’s 10th Precinct on their quest to bring a cold-blooded serial killer to justice. Along the way there is action, romance, violence, descriptions of voodoo rituals, and graphic depictions of both consensual and nonconsensual sex and murder. Please be advised that many readers will find the story chilling, disturbing and triggering.
WOW. Where do I start with these wonderful brothers?? This box set blew me away. As I had not read anything from India Kells before, I had my reservations committing to the entire set. Those qualms were blown away mere pages into the first book. The author has such a way of grabbing your attention and writing the stories so well that they just envelop you. I love each of these boys for slightly different reasons, but they all have such strong qualities that you just root for automatically. My favorites are probably a tie between Aleksei and Archer, the Lost Bastard and the Cold Bastard, respectively. Though these brothers will all do whatever it takes to protect the ones they love, this box set is full of strong women as well. This series is fast-paced and suspenseful with plenty of steamy scenes that you can’t get enough of!

Am I ever glad that I thought to pick this set up! I had read a couple of novels by this author before this set, and thought, how could I possibly let this one slide through my fingers. So many deliciously strong, masculine alpha men and women within these pages, and so little time. I spent the duration of my sick week immersed within these pages, and I couldn’t tell if it was the cold that had my body warming up, or the incredibly written adventures, but by my drool soaked pillow, I think you can guess!
I was hoping that I would have one specific installment within this box set to focus on, to tell you it’s my favorite, but as per what I’ve come to expect from this author, they only keep getting better and better, though I certainly have a soft spot for the Aleksei, and Deva! Do yourself a favor, and carve out some time for these novels, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend all literature by her!

Honestly, not sure where this book has been my whole life but I couldn’t be happier its here now. AMAZING doesn’t even cover this book. What a thrilling spicy ride! It was one of those books where you ask yourself, “So where do I watch for the tv/movie announcement of this?”. It was so dang good I could not put it down! The plot is a nail biter with such a great balance and the characters were so well thought out! This author knows what they’re doing!!! Get it, love it, thank me later!!

Kramer – Review by April McCoy
I have enjoyed every single page of this entire box set – even the dark ones that explained some of the horror the evil antagonist spread around the world. Dark Sparrows are the code name of a group of women that have been saved from horrifying circumstances and vowed to repay the favor if their assorted areas of expertise should ever be needed. Headed by Purgatory, an extremely specialized team in rescue operations, the Dark Sparrows never know if they’ll be called upon. Each of them receives their own call from Beatrice and Gabrielle (the Purgatory leader and 2nd in command) in this series. Each of them ends up assigned to their own brother of bastards, all for their own reasons. These bastards, as they affectionately call themselves, prefer to be seen that way than admit the evil monster that is Jamieson Finch is really their father. Brought together by the brother that was intended to be his heir, Lazarus King, each book focuses on it’s own bastard brother and his own journey to bring down the devil, and the ways he interrupts their plans. EACH OF THESE BOOKS DESERVES A TRIGGER WARNING FOR ASSORTED REASONS, PLEASE READ WITH CARE.
LOST BASTARD Aleksei Voronov is the first son we read about. Aleksei is a brother from Russia who was orphaned and brought up on the streets. He is strong, hard, and never backs down from a fight – just what Finch wanted.
Deva Landry is a former MC princess that fled before she could be forced into a marriage she didn’t want by a father who was head of his club, and as brutal as you can imagine he could be. She upended her comfortable life as a physical therapist for veterans to repay her favor by acting as a therapist in a Chicago fighters gym and help protect Aleksei. She knows the odds of being rediscovered by her father in her hometown, but owes Gabrielle this favor and a finds the fight of her life, for her life, for the new man she can’t seem to keep herself away from.
COLD BASTARD Archer Blackwood, leader of a business empire, is from London and expanding to Chicago. To help with the expansion, he needs an incredible interpreter to keep up with the languages and dialects of the buyers he deals with from around the world.
This is where Zoe enters. Gabrielle and Lazarus place Zoe within the ranks at the office in downtown Chicago to help keep an eye on Archer. As usual, Finch finds her secrets and uses them against her, even as she and Archer investigate the draw they feel towards one another.
WILD BASTARD Kai Jones left his carefree surfer persona behind him, he thought with the memories of a very special woman he met on the beach before he joined the Army and later Delta Force. Though still a fan of loud hawaiian shirts and long hair, Kai is a seasoned and deadly soldier. He is the first son that Finch has not yet claimed. Will he be able to keep his focus on Finch when his past comes calling?
Isabel met Kai by coincidence 15 years ago on the beach in Hawaii, but has never forgotten the 2 weeks they shared together. In the years since, she has become an avid and successful businesswoman with an assortment of ways she earns revenue. She is best friends with Gabrielle, but they originally met when she was in the middle of her own crisis. Gabrielle knows she is precisely who Kai needs to help lead him through the next stage of attacking Finch to bring him down. Her biggest fear is that Kai will learn the real reason she deserted him all those years ago.
TRUE BASTARD Liam Harker is an Irish detective in Chicago, and brother number 4. The other brother Finch has not yet acknowledged, he has fought to be a good man who helps others. His mother was forced by Finch and her faith was too strong to get an abortion for a child she didn’t want and didn’t love. When he meets the Dark Sparrow Gabrielle assigned him, he felt like life was playing a cruel joke on him.
Catriona Walsh is a novitiate with a knack for numbers. An orphan, she was raised surrounded by love and faith and light, and exudes her goodness from her pores. She sees people, helps people, trusts people, and gives them second chances. When she starts running the numbers, she finds questionable information and joins the adventure the brothers have had so far. Will her bright serenity soothe Liam’s soul?
DARK BASTARD Sam Sarkhan grew up in the desert with his mother, a Bedouin princess. It was a simple life, but he was happy and loved. Until Finch discovered him and took him away. An unbearably hard past has made him a serious and heartbroken man, but his brothers have given him family and a sense of comraderie, and helped him aim towards bringing the infection of their father down. Sam is willing to lay his life down for all of them, but is unable to keep going anymore. Until a voice of desperation on the other end of a wrong number pulls at something in him.
Ellie is an emergency call center operator, and it is taking everything she has to keep going as the holidays bring an upswing in desperate calls and suicides. She doesn’t know why she answered the phone on New Years Eve from a number she didn’t recognize – but it seems fate knows what it’s doing. Sam is drawn to keeping an eye on Ellie – one last mission before he checks out. Things happen very fast after he “meets” Ellie but the connection they have and the way they make each other feel alive again draws them out of the dark. Will they be able to take down Finch while saving each other?
KING BASTARD Lazarus. The last brother. The ringleader of the bastards. The heir apparent to Finch and the one who started the goal of taking him down. Lazarus has a weakness for family and gathered his brothers and called in the help of Purgatory to help protect them. After avoiding death, he only wants to finish the job and stop having to watch his brothers enter dangerous games with their father. All he wants is to have this over after putting a bullet in Jamiesons head and he is not interested in distractions.
Sasha has been around since book 1, as Deva’s cousin and a battlefield doctor. She is incredibly tough in her own right, and stands toe to toe with Lazarus from the beginning. They continue to circle and show the ways they care about one another, and she helped save Oz’s life after he was shot. While awaiting more missions overseas to help victims in war torn areas, she joins the group in Chicago to find herself ending up in the sights of Finch. Will she be able to withstand him? Will Oz be able to withstand her? Will all the brothers end up finding something worth living for after their goal is accomplished? Book 6 is explosive and an amazing conclusion to this incredible series.

If I could give a series more than 5 stars it would be this one. I’m so glad I started with the set because once I got started I couldn’t put it down!
Every story follows one of the Dark Brothers finding their true love. There is some dark themes , suprising match ups (think … NUN!), intense chemistry, opposites attract and then a finale that will answer the questions I had to know about finally defeating their father or “donor”.
Dark Romance , spice, intrigue , Action… this one has it all and you don’t want to miss it!!!

Truth or Kill speaks to that little corner of your mind that binge watches serial killer documentaries and adds some steam just for kicks! It is a little dark, pretty twisted, and a pretty killer read. I can honestly say that I have NEVER read a book like this before! It is the ultimate version of a “Come to the Dark Side” romance. Absolutely worth it!

Kramer – Review by Alisa Boomer
This is part 2 in the series and after all the trauma and heartbreak from the first one I was dying to get this one to see how the story ends. These books can’t be read as a standalone. You really need to read all the books in order to get the full feel of all the characters and their stories. This book is very emotionally charges and has some elements with maybe a trigger for people. The author handles all these situation in a way that is respectful but eye-opening at the same time. My heart broke for Chains for all he went through and continues to go through but the love that Jackson and Winnie have for him is so strong and you feel that through this story.
Chains has been rescued but he is in a really bad way. After all the abuse and trauma he suffered at the hands of his abductors he needs to do a lot of healing both physically and mentally. Things start to look up for him. He decides to embrace his romance and love for both Jackson and Winnie, his brothers are accepting of it as well which makes him happy. However as good as things are Chains can’t let go and be happy until he knows who wanted to torture him to death and why? Now with the help of his MC brothers and Winnie and Jackson, Chains now needs to face his demons as his past comes back to haunt him and he’s not prepared to allow anyone he loves to get hurt. This story is very brutal to read in parts but you really get the full sense of the MC brotherhood as they all band together to protect their own. I loved this story so much I can’t wait to see who’s story we will hear next

I enjoyed reading this dark romance story. This is a newer author for me which I look forward to seeing what is next. This is a standalone story but I hope to see more from these characters in the future. This is a well written story about Kage and Sydney. I enjoyed their story as well as their growth throughout the story. One had blood all over their hands and the other was in a place that they should not have been. Now they are faced with truth or kill. How will this game end? I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start. A fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. The characters are relatable and supportive of each other. You don’t want to miss what happens to these two. I really enjoyed the suspense that added to the story. I highly recommend reading this book.

This is a story written by an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. This is the sixth book in this series and the best yet. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enhancement of this series and the characters. I enjoy this author’s writing skills where they are able to bring the story to life with their attention to details. This is a great series that you don’t want to miss. The characters pulled me into the story from the start. I found them to be relatable and supportive of each other. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. There is great growth of the characters and the plot which made the story easy and entertaining to read. A story where taking care of personal threats could change who you are. The question remains will it change you or will you be the same person? Will everyone except who you are? This is such a great story and I just loved reading it. I highly recommend reading this book, series and author.

Earl – Review by Bobbi Wagner
This series is amazing! It has it’s ups and downs and some really dark themes running throughout but if you sit down and read them you will get sucked in. Dark Sparrows Boxset is full of romance and suspense, and though you could read each book individually they are so much better in succession. I say that because I’ve read King Bastard before, and I swore at that time I would go back and read books 1-5 then re-read book 6. Well that’s exactly what this boxset allowed me to do. I re-fell in love with the main characters of book 6 as well as everyone else. The events set into motion by none other than Lazarus King, he’s made it his life’s mission to bring down his estranged father, Jamieson Finch. Along the way he’s learned that he isn’t Jamieson’s only bastard son and these books are what brings them together for a common cause. Book 1 Lost Bastard puts into the Chicago underground. Which means there’s quite a bit of suspense that’s going to be throughout. Aleksei, a potential Russian Bratva operative, gets pulled into illegal fighting by his estranged father. It’s at that point he meets Deva. Deva, a MC princess, has been in hiding after escaping the Chicago underground. When she’s called upon by Beatrice, as one of her Dark Sparrows to assist Lazarus King in uniting his brother’s and keeping them safe from Finch. Book 2 Cold Bastard brings Archer Blackwood to the spotlight. Despite learning in book 1 Lazarus has already been in contact with other brothers Archer has no idea about the relations or his father is and how close he’s circling. Is it your typical Billionaire Romance? Of course not because all these books are tied together. Little did Archer know Zoe was going to change his life. Zoe is the next Dark Sparrow tasked into action because of her penchant for solving puzzles as well as being multilingual. Unfortunately there’s a slight twist in this book that they don’t see coming, proving Finch is currently a few steps ahead of them. Book 3, Welcome to the Kai Jones lighthearted adventure, or is it? In Wild Bastard, Kai gets brought to his knees by the one who got away. Kai, being the most lighthearted and laid back of Finch’s six bastard sons, doesn’t see his Dark Sparrow coming. Despite everything going on knowing that fact and the dark undertones it’s probably the lightest book in the set in my opinion. Isabel never thought she’d see Kai again after she disappeared on him 15 years earlier in Hawaii. With secrets that are buried deep she never realized her feelings towards him would come back full force. Being the PR guru she is, she’s tasked to become the specialist Finch hirers to help launch his mayoral campaign. Will it be successful? Will the brother’s finally get what they want? It was also a breath of fresh air to see Deva and Aleksei back in this book, since they were absent from book 2. Book 4 True Bastard, gives the reader a lot of inner turmoil storylines. Liam is a cop, which doesn’t necessarily mess well with his brother’s who float in the illegal underground of Chicago to get things done. At the same time he wants nothing more to be part of the cause to take Finch down. Anything he can and will do to help Lazarus and his other brothers he will do. Unfortunately with Archer taking the reins because of Lazarus being in a coma things are starting to slip. Does that make it the perfect time for Finch to slide in and destroy his sons? It walks Catriona, a numbers expert, that Dark Sparrow calls to help shut down Finch’s finances. Catriona is on the road to becoming a nun, but after meeting Liam she’s struggling with the road she wants to travel. Though not as light as book 3 this is probably the only other light book in this series. Book 5 Dark Bastard in my opinion is the darkest. Extremely dark storylines that I feel a reader should know could be a trigger warning, so just use caution going in. Sam has been living in a dark cloud since childhood. Ready to end it all until one misdialed phone call changes everything. Finch knows exactly who Sam is, he took him away from his mother and broke him as a child. Forever damaging his psyche. Ellie was ready to end it all, till New Year’s Eve and a mysterious caller stopped those plans in their tracks. Now being held hostage with Sam, the caller, by his psycho father they need to do everything they can to bid their time and get out. These two beautifully fight light and dark throughout this whole book. Book 6, King Bastard is still my favorite book in the series, however closely followed by Cold Bastard. Finally making it to Lazarus King, the man who set this all in motion. Now it’s time for the epic conclusion, but not without him being brought to his knees as well. Ever since waking up from his coma, he feels like he’s putting his brother’s in too much danger, especially since they’ve all found women they love. He pulls back from everyone, till Sasha shows him there’s another way. Sasha, the resident bastard’s doctor when needed, hates being told what to do. And Lazarus being the prime suspect of doing such things, the man drives her crazy. Yet since she cared for him during his coma, she’s started to see him in a new light. The passion between them is undeniable. Do they succeed? Does Finch finally get what’s coming for him? What happens between brothers? This is a well written series and again I will say I love it. The author wrote characters that are easy to fall in love with. Such wonderful themes and so much suspense, romance, and love throughout. So worth it!!!

Truth or Kill is a dark romance/suspense book that is utterly captivating. The book is a page-turner! Sydney is a smart and competent main character and Kage is the kind of dark love interest that is perfect for this story. I loved how Sydney handled herself. She has to stay on her toes to survive because these snobby, rich kids are out for her. There is a lot of push and pull between Kage and Sydney. They had a good dynamic. This book has murder, intrigue, and romance; definitely worth picking up.

I was so excited to start reading this book. After thr first part I knew I had to find our how it was going to end and this book definitely did not disappoint. It was just as intense ans gritty as I was hoping for. There are so many emotions in the book and you feel each and every one of them. I loved the way the author wrote this book, and how she tackled certain topics. It was done so effortlessly. This is yet another fantastic piece of work by this author and I can’t wait to discover more.

This is one of the most amazing, suspenseful, exciting books I’ve read in a long time. From the very beginning if the book, I was hooked. I stayed up so late devouring every word from it! There is not one thing I did not like about this book. It was executed so perfectly. I don’t want to write any spoilers, but it made it into my list of favorites. The plot, the characters, everything was exceptional, I don’t understand how something so incredibly intriguing was written so well. I would rate it 10 Stars if I could!

Sydney thought she was going away for a week vacation but she walked into a sick revenge game. Kage , part of a trio of brothers out for revenge, fell for Sydney. This dark romance is full of intense twists, turns and lots of unknown adventures. The steam is there as well. I found the story exciting and found myself wanting to find out what was coming up next. The twists are what kept me going. The characters were fairly well-developed. Spoiled rich kids with secrets were due to get their come-uppance. You found yourself rooting for the ones you didn’t expect to. The book has an air of suspense and that’s what I loved about it.

WOW. This book has all the twists and turns that you didn’t know you needed. You will not want to put this down until you unravel the entire mystery. Dark, twisty, steamy, and original. A must read and is now one of my favorite books! A. C. Kramer is a genius and I cannot wait to read more from this author!! Spring break at an exclusive resort, what can go wrong? Sydney is the scholarship girl, she honestly has no clue how she ended up here with all of these high society kids. Her friend Becca, the one who invited her, is one of the “elite thirteen” of Covington Industries. Becca is the first casualty of “Truth or Kill.” What was supposed to be a relaxing cabin in the mountain for Sydney is not at all what she gets when these heirs of the company are now turning on one another. There is also Kage, the man with the forest green eyes that Sydney cannot seem to stay away from. Will Kage help her or let her play this game along with the others? Everyone’s secrets are about to be revealed. Will Sydney survive or be just another pawn in their game?

I have loved this series! Book 3 has taken me even deeper yet again with Donovan and Shirley, and I could see as clear as day things were about to get very complicated. Book 3 brings back the devilish Coalition who want Donovan and his family at all costs and they are using any means necessary. Its become clear they are out to get anyone and everyone who is not a full breed vampire, and they are ready to go to war for it. As time runs out Donovan and Shirley must save not only their family but the fate of the world at hand who is now at the hands of the Coalition. With humor, drama, suspense , and only the charm Donovan can provide we watch as he sets out save everyone in what may be the very end as the paranormal world and the human world preparing for a fight to the death.

I cannot resist a good dark romance, and this was one that everything rolled all into one. Suspense, murder, lust , and lots of drama. One invite changes it all for Sydney during her Spring Break. What started as a game turns out to be just as it states.. “Truth or Kill.” Sydney is alluring, confident, and intelligent. She was very blunt and honest and she was no fool at all during this book. When she meets Kage at the resort its instant that they have a connection. As a team up they begin to play the dangerous game knowing to play is to survive. The more they fight for survival the more they fall for each other in the process. While Sydney may be that wide eyed girl its clear that Kage is as anti-hero as they come. This story was a wild ride that will have you on edge until the end.

Wow!!! This book is brilliant!!! Deviously delicious and dark– I love A.C Kramer (and her alter-ego) sooooooo sooooooo much!!! Truth Or Kill is the second book in the Twisted Legends Collection by A.C. Kramer. Twisted Legends is a collaboration by 10 talented authors who each bring you their own twisted and reimaged take of a famous urban legend. Each book is a standalone- but after reading ‘Truth Or Kill’, I am hooked on the theme and can’t wait to explore the rest of the series to see what twisted delights the other authors have produced. For Truth Or Kill, Ms. Kramer has used the urban legend of “Killswitch”- about a videogame that self-destructs. And let me tell you- it made for a riveting read! What we get is an addictive romantic suspense about a quest for vengeance while revealing some dark truths using a ‘game’ as a means to that end. We join some college students on a retreat at a wilderness lodge during spring break. Without giving too much away and spoiling the story for you, the characters soon find themselves swept into a deadly game where the stakes are much higher than they realise. Not everything is as it seems. We ride along on this dark adventure as things turn deadly! And Wow! I love every single second!!! The twist and turns were quite clever and the whole story was really well thought out, creative, and so well executed! I am really hoping that we might get another couple of books from A.C. Kramer that follow on from “Truth Or Kill” – because I seriously need Judge, and Loki’s stories too. Hint, Hint! Pretty, pretty please Ms. Kramer…. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a riveting story with a bit of a dark and mysterious feel, steaming hot chemistry, and cleverly twisted reimaginings!!! Happy Reading!

Kramer – Review by Angela Hayes
The Traits are back, still on the run and fighting against the Coalition that wants them dead. As the fight continues others join. Half bloods, who are treated like second class citizens, fight for the right to be an equal part of the vampire nation. Will the war remain hidden from the humans- as it must? Will the half bloods succeed? Will the Traits be able to keep their children safe? Will everyone survive the fight? What side will win? This is the third installment in the Donovan Trait series. I enjoyed this one as much as the first two. I would strongly suggest reading this series in order just for the background and charter building. I would recommend reading not only this book but, this series.

If you’re looking for a dark read that pulls you in, this is the book for you. Sydney gets invited to a lodge for spring break, when she gets there she quickly realizes it’s not the type of lodge she had imagined. She is also still trying to figure out why she was even invited. At check in she meets Kage.
Kage realizes there is something different about Sydney, she isn’t like the others. They start to connect and get closer. But is he really a friend or does he have other plans for her?
Things start to take a scary twist and get even more interesting as the game continues. You will have to 1-click to see what happens. The author does a great job with her writing, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. Some things did make me cringe and I will warn that there may be triggers for some. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Kramer – Review by Michelle Austin
This has been a great series! It picks up where the second book left off on the island. The Coalition is out to get Shirley and the whole Trait family. As they work to stay safe and find the secrets behind the Great Lie you learn more about the pure bloods past. You also get to know more of the Trait family especially Marilyn. As the fight unfolds they start to try and repair what has been broken by the Coalition. Definitely a good series to read!

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! is the second book of the Donovan Trait series. The story picks up where book one ended; if you have not read book one I would suggest reading it first. Trait and his love interest Judge Shirley Magnusen are set to marry. Since it is a vampire marriage it is far more complicated than a human one. The couple must sign an agreement with the Vampire Coalition. 1. Magnusen must be turned and 2. conception and pregnancies of any kind the Coalition has control of. When it is discovered that the couple did not uphold their end of the deal they go on the run while trying to find a solution. Will they find one? Will they be safe? Can they protect their family? Will the changes lead to bigger issues among the vampire community?
I would recommend reading this story if you enjoyed the first and want to see what adventures await the couple.

The Law is an Ass (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Sarah King
It starts with an odd text, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all lawyers! Starting with you!”, thinking it is nothing but a bad joke lawyer Donovan Trait brushes it off. Soon after Trait finds himself in a hospital bed recovering from a stab wound that should have killed him. Trait has a secret though….he is a vampire and not that easy to kill. Even after being stabbed Trait does not really think there is much of a threat, that is until another attempt is made on his life. Now Trait is faking his demise in order to try to discover what is happening. Soon others in the legal field are murdered as well. Why is this happening? Who wants him dead? Why kill the others? Are those he cares about being targeted as well?
This is the first book I have read by Kay. I enjoyed the characters and can’t wait to see what comes next! I would recommend this book.

When I saw book 3 in the Donovan Trait Series I was so excited to dive on in! I highly recommend reading this series in order to as book 3 continue where book 2 left off at.
Donovan and Shirley are battling to protect their children as the Vampire Coalition wants them all dead. The Trait’s are trying to raise their family with the freedoms that they deserve…but it been a battle and a true uprising for Donovan and his family and to all half bloods to stand up and take charge so no one has to fear any longer of the Vampire Coalition and their hardcore rules. Suspense, game plans, vampires and some romance leads into a great story!!

What a fitting title! I was intrigued by the title and the description. I figured it would be dark, and it was, but I loved it. I finished it in just a couple hours. I loved not only Sydney’s character, but Kage’s as well. The author did a great job of world building, as I felt like I was there. It is definitely a page turner with plenty of twists! It will keep you guessing. If you like dark and twisted stories, this is a great choice.

Kramer – Review by Jamie Truex
I couldn’t wait for this book to come out and I was not disappointed. It is one intense ride. Triad Resumption is a dark and powerful paranormal MC romance and the sixth book in the series. Book 5 A Tormented Man’s Soul: Part One was raw and gritty and broke my heart and this one is just the same. It is full of emotions, pain, and sorrow, heartbreak, and crushed and tormented soul and all the feelings are palpable as we journey along on this fight.
I recommend reading all the previous books in the series. There are all the other MC characters along with their backstories and other important information you should know before starting this book.
Chains is a complex man and his torment didn’t stop after his rescue; he is a broken and haunted man. Now he must face the demons of his past to have a future he wants. With his MC brothers, Jackson and Winnie at his back he must become the dark heartless, ruthless, and violent enforcer to find the enemy.
