Truck Stopped (Satan’s Devils MC #11) by Manda Mellett – Review by Jana Teppih

Truck StoppedTruck Stopped by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truck Stopped is the eleventh book in Manda Mellett’s original Satan’s Devils MC series and finally, finally the writer is giving us Truck’s story!!! YEY! If you are like me who has read the Satan’s Devils MC series and the Colorado Chapter spin-off series then you know how long we have been waiting for Truck’s story! From the bits and pieces we have heard over the books leading up to this one, I knew that it would be a totally heartbreaking read!
I loved how the writer had set the whole story up – Truck and Allie’s story and then Drummer and Peg’s conversations in the future looking back at Truck and Allie’s story – absolutely brilliant! I was bawling my eyes out and I could not put the book down! The brotherhood, the loyalty, the care, the humanity … the writer has weaved it all together into a story that will not let you go and IF this is your first book in Satan’s Devils MC universe then you will want to reach for the other ones and I hope you do as you will not regret it, not one bit!
I am so grateful that the writer started with the spin off series as this is the final book in the main series and I would not want to leave the brothers and just maybe we will get the new generation series at some point as well … here is to hoping!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truck Stopped by Manda Mellett is the eleventh book in the Satan’s Devils series. This whole series is an excellent series. I really liked all of the characters in all the books but I really fell in love with Truck. He is a bit rough around the edges but when you get down past that he is one that will never fail you. His life has not been easy and he has hit rock bottom but he does pull himself up. That is one thing that I love about Manda Mellett writing her characters are fully developed and they could be real. There is a roller coaster ride when you add in Allie. She is one to have been with many of the Satan Devil Arizona chapter. She is intrigued by Truck and really warms up to him. She wants more but will Truck want more? I cannot wait to see what Manda Mellett has instore for us with her next series.

4 out of 5 stars

Truck Stopped is book eleven in Satan Devils series written by Manda Mellett and it’s the second book in this series that I have read. I was a little lost since I haven’t read many books in this series so I wasn’t familiar with the flash backs. This was a well written story with great main characters that are damaged both physically and emotionally.

This is Truck and Allie’s story and it’s not a pretty story. They show us their strength in what they have endured, they also show us their passion for each other. This is a very emotional read that will make you laugh and cry I needed a box of tissues.

Truck is damaged emotionally and scarred physically so will he let Allie in to help him? Can Allie show Truck that he can still have a normal life? Can she show him that she wants him for himself that their chemistry is real? Will this damaged couple be-able to have a happily ever after?
You will have to read this story to find out…

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks – Review by Chantelle Smith

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts #2)Into Pieces by Nicole Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Into Pieces is another fantastic addition to the Shattered Hearts Series, this series is not to be missed at all. I was completely and utterly captivated with this read just as much as the first, but there was something different about this read in the case of it feeling like it went deeper, the emotions that run through this book are so deep and real you can’t help but feel as though you are there alongside the characters or even if you were feeling all the emotions yourself.

This book is made even better by the fact it’s written in dual POV’s it really helps you connect more with the characters and also understand what they really are thinking and feeling.
These books are so captivating & real it’s a book that you can’t wait to delve into every time. I cant wait to see what else is to come to this series and I look forward to another read by this incredible author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Wrath is the second novel in the Deadliest Sin series by Gwyn McNamee. This is my eleventh novel by this author.

Continuing where Wrath left off, it’s been a few years but are things really quiet?

Here we are introduced to the character Aleksander who wants revenge. I know he is the bad guy but I really did love reading from perspective even possibly finding a love of his own.

I don’t want to give too much away but I highly recommend reading this.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“They just woke a sleeping dragon. The years I’ve spent in the background have come to an end. It’s time to take my rightful place at the head of the family.”

This man, Aleksander, is just plain evil. Until he meets Brynn. But even her love is not enough for the dragon to change. She does bring out his caring side but this story is entitled After Wrath for a reason. There are no rainbows and unicorns in this story. Aleksander is on a mission. His mission is to avenge Saban’s death. Family comes first, no matter which Mafia family you are a part of.

I have said in my past review for McNamee, unforeseen twists. Twists that make you scream at your reading device. Twists that make you cry with sadness and with hope. McNamee is a master twist writer.

This book, well really this series, is not for the faint of heart. It is for readers that like dark, twisted, unimaginable stories. Way to go, McNamee! Looking forward to the ending?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start by explaining a little about Alek. He’s dark, dangerous, violent, bloody, destructive, and…I love it! The man has serious issues and takes way too much enjoyment out of what he does and it seriously turns me on! Crazy right??? Gwyn has the uncanny ability to make you completely fall in love with her characters, no matter how gritty, dirty, and bad they are! She has quickly become one of my absolute favorite authors. Even in a quick read such as this one, the story line is so detailed, raw, and emotional that you see and feel every word she writes.

This is book two in the Deadliest Sin series and they must be read in order. Book one left me in shock. Book two, After Wrath, picks up with Aleksander seeking revenge on those who he feels have wronged him. Seeking to unleash the wrath of the Dragon and no one will stand in the way of him reaching his goal. The ending was completely unexpected and left me full of anticipation with how this can all possibly play out! The only thing I know for certain is that it will most certainly not disappoint! This series is gritty, violent, powerfully emotional, thought provoking, and sexy! I can’t wait to delve into Book 3 and see what journey the author takes us on! As is everything else I have read by this author, this is a 5-star must read series!

Truck StoppedTruck Stopped by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truck Stopped was a great 5 star read and book 11 in the Satan’s Devils MC series.

We jump from past to present and learn some back history on Allie and Truck. Allie was kicked out of her home at a very young age and had to fend for herself on the streets. She made money the only way she knew how until she met a woman who brought her to the MC to work as a sweet butt.

Truck is a firefighter and MC member who was severely injured while fighting some fires in California. Since he’s been back he has avoided coming to the MC. The Pres decides to send Allie to Trucks to see if she can get him to let her in. Allie had made a connection with Truck before he left to fight fires, she hasn’t been the same since. She doesn’t want to be a sweet butt anymore, she wants to have something with Truck. Only problem is, Sweet butts don’t become old ladies.

Overall I loved this story. There are some unexpected twists to the story that had my emotions all over the place. These two definitely don’t have an easy story and at times I was thinking what else can happen to this poor couple. These two were perfect for each other, Allie didn’t see the scars on Truck only the genuine person he was inside and she had some of her own scars as well. They are a very strong couple. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. This is a great series that I highly suggest. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Wow! I knew going in that this story would be awesome. Every book I’ve read by Gwyn has been and this certainly did not disappoint! This book is a quick read that you won’t put down from page one to the end! It’s definitely NOT your typical happy ending love story but it WILL make you travel through the vast array of human emotions! It’s violent and bloody and a spectacular example of what we are capable of, and what we are willing to sacrifice, in an effort to keep our loved ones safe. I fell in love with these characters. Even after I finished the book, the feelings just simmered in my chest. That anyone could love another person this much… Go ahead and grab this one! You won’t be disappointed. You will possibly go into shock, but won’t be disappointed at all!

You wouldn’t think with a series of this size that it could be possible for the stories to get better. This is not the case with Truck Stopped, the eleventh book in Satan’s Devils MC series from a personal favorite, Manda Mellett. I do not think there was one emotion that I am capable of feeling, and maybe even a few new ones, that I did not experience while reading the story of Truck and Allie. This story is one that I promise you will tear you up and spit you out mercilessly, but it will also slowly pull you all back together again in a warm cozy feel way. The characters become so real you almost feel as if you should be able to reach out to them. I loved every moment of my time spent with these two and I only felt disappointment once I realized the book had come to a close. I truly hope there will be many more Satan’s Devils stories to come. I look forward to whatever it is however that is to come next from Manda Mellett!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh Gwyn…This is one of my absolute favorite, must-read authors but man…she wrecks me emotionally and mentally every single time!

Surviving Wrath was an exceptionally well written conclusion to the Deadliest Sin series but I want more! I need more! I’m still trying to rationalize with myself that this is truly the end. And what an ending it was! I’m not sure if I’m happy, sad, angry, straight up pissed off, or all of the above. I don’t know exactly how I feel but that’s the thing with this author, she ALWAYS makes you feel!

This is book 3 of this series and they must be read in order. Trust me, once you start book 1, you won’t stop until the last words of book 3! Every minute spent reading will have you on the edge of your seat, heart racing, impatient to find out what is going to happen next. You can’t help but fall in love with all the characters, whether they are good or bad, they become a part of you. You find yourself wishing for certain outcomes for them that they may or may not get. You’ll be happy and heartbroken at the same time. I won’t go into any details about the storyline because I don’t want to give anything away, but you definitely need to read this series! Gwyn McNamee is a stellar writer and never, ever disappoints! More than 5 stars from me!!!!

UGH!! Where do I even start with Into Pieces? First of all, I cannot say enough good things about this book but I will start with the gorgeous cover! If I hadn’t already read book one I would have grabbed this novel without even knowing what it was about. I had to have this book once I finished book one, Shattered. I was lucky in that I read that only recently so I didn’t have the dreaded wait it seems for some, a thing I am glad about.

This book really reached the high expectations that book one set and actually for me in some ways exceeded it. I loved the dark almost thriller like undertone that kept me intrigued and on my toes as I fell in love with Jas and Angel. These two really tore me apart, literally ‘into pieces and slowly put me back together. Its beautifully written even in the dark parts. I can’t wait to see what we will get with book three. I can only expect that it will be just as fabulous as the first two.

Surviving Wrath is the last novel in the Deadliest Sins series by Gwyn McNamee. This is my twelfth novel by this author.

With such a fast paced conclusion, it left me with a lot of questions and I hope the author may come back to this series to fill in the blanks. Felt like the ending was open ended with the possibility for me which I am all for. The ending definitely leaves you speechless and not sure what to think. I have all these questions about what happened to the characters and how things progress.

The novels are really short and quick to read but they are worth it.

DO NOT READ THIS SERIES OUT OF ORDER!!!

Ok that headline is a little shouty, but you will be doing yourself a disservice if you read this series out of order.

Surviving Wrath is the third and final installment of “The Deadliest Sin Series”. The series is told in multiple points of view which makes the read very interesting. I thought I knew what was going on – I really did – and I’m not sure if I would make the same or different decisions when faced with … well read the book to find out.

Now that the series is complete, I am going to go back and read all three from beginning to end as each picks up where the last left off. The flow of the series is strong and perfectly paced. Emotions (including wanting to throw my Kindle against a wall) were felt the whole way through.

A note about the writer… I read the “Slip Series” and assumed she was a rom-com author. I read “The Savage Series” and assumed that was as dark as she could go, that is not the case. I have no idea what she will write next, but I for one will be one clicking as soon as it has a title.

I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES AND THIS AUTHOR!!! (wow that was shouty too)

I never hesitate to pick up one of this author’s stories. This story is full of action and drama. I loved being pulled into this story from the beginning and not being able to put it down until the end. The characters really made the story come to life and they really just messed well together. Tallie goes in search of answers to questions about her life. Jackson also finds himself off in search of unanswered questions. How many concidences can there be in one small town? A must read!

The story Secrets Never Die by Laurie Lewis is a romantic/suspense book. I loved reading it. The story pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a book that includes mystery and secrets. It is a story that had me at times quickly turning pages to find out what happened next. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Tallie Brown and Jackson James. Tallie is a woman who is strong, intelligent, and stubborn. When her mother unexpectedly dies, Tallie finds that she may have had a secret life. Will Tallie find the answers to the questions that she has? Jackson is a reporter whose past is having an effect on his future. He finds himself chasing another story seeking the road to redemption. Both Tallie and Jackson find themselves in the small town of Cutler’s Ridge. What will happen when the stories that they are chasing begin to overlap? What does the future hold for Tallie and Jackson? Read this book to find out. This is a story that is an example of why I love suspense books. You are taken on a journey that moves at a good pace and sparks your imagination and your ability to put clues together. Each one of the additional characters has their own part to play in the story and I couldn’t see the book without any of them. This is a book that I highly recommend reading.

Tallie Brown’s life has never made sense. Raised in isolation by her mother, Julia, Tallie was dragged suddenly and without explanation from one third-world outpost to another until life normalized seven years ago when Julia took a position on a mountaintop in the Pacific northwest. But when Julia unexpectedly dies, Tallie uncovers clues suggesting that Julia had a secret life.
Journalistic phenom Jackson James is still recovering from the devastating mistake that flatlined his promising career. Now he’s paying the price, working as the editor of a syrupy community rag in a posh D.C. suburb. But when the very man who destroyed him drops a tantalizing lead about a potential D.C. scandal, the reporter sees his chance for redemption and sets off to chase the story.
Jackson’s investigation leads him to Cutler’s Ridge, a dying Virginia coal town, and directly into the path of the mysterious and beautiful Tallie. As these two mistrustful loners follow their leads, their stories begin to intertwine until they reach an alarming conclusion something terrible happened in Cutler’s Ridge. As they doggedly pursue the story, the town’s cold reception spirals into threats and danger, proving that there are those who will stop at nothing to keep the past hidden forever because secrets never die.

I was nineteen when I became Jayden’s knight in shining armour, her Paladin. At only fourteen, she developed a teenage crush on me, the man who rescued her. I gave her time to grow, waiting for her feelings to mature. As years, when I was forbidden to touch her, passed, I never doubted she was mine. I just wasn’t allowed to show it. Circumstances send us to Colorado, away from the restrictions and over-protective brothers. At last we have a chance to be together. What could be better? What could be worse? A new club. A new life. Out of my depth, I don’t fit in. A different president and his old lady who’ve been married thirty-six years. That their marriage is on shaky ground spills over into how they treat us. For some reason, Hellfire and Moira want to force Jayden and I apart. Jay and I are just beginning. Or, is it the end? After all this time, will we make it work? Or have the years I’ve spent waiting been wasted?

The horrible event that happened to her is still causing her pain but she is trying to heal and move on.

I have been really looking forward to this book – I have loved this series so far and I have to say Ms Mellett has definitely saved the best until last! I was completely captivated by this story from beginning to end, I honestly could not put my kindle down at all. I have to say I am usually consumed by this authors stories but there was just something about this one, she really did take the story and characters to another level. She definitely brought the series full circle with this final instalment.
Truck and Allie’s story was so beautifully written, the emotional moments of the story really grabbed me at times. It’s been a while since a book had me in tears but this one did all within a few pages! I was so into what I was reading, I could feel everything to characters did and I think that’s definitely what had me so emotional!
Truck Stopped was an amazing ending to this series and a story I cannot recommend enough. It could be read as a standalone but I would 100% recommend the series as a whole!
As always I look forward to seeing what Ms Mellett comes out with in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks continues from book 1 and I must say I enjoyed this part of the story than the first. It is well written and it is about real life problems and the angst of love. It is a story where all your emotions are out on display right along with the characters. The characters are more developed and you could feel that Nicole really put her emotions in them as well. This heart wrenching, soul searing and yet beautiful story will leave you wanting more. It also features our next couple in the romance department and it will be just as interesting read I am sure as this one was.

Jasmine and Angel and finally got their shit together and decided to work as a couple but as we all know falling in love and nothing is ever a walk in the park. They still have a lot of work to do on themselves and as we know taking a good hard look at yourself in the mirror is never a pleasant thing. Just when Jas thought her life was safe the horrors of her past are once again front and centre and taking its hold of her and threatening everyone she loves and her own sanity.

I look forward to reading Chases’ and Kris’ story next, I just know it will blow us away.

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3)Surviving Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Surviving Wrath is the third and final heart-pounding instalment in The Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. So, before I go any further with my review, I am going to make a confession. I HATE writing reviews for Gwyn McNamee’s books- why you might ask? Because her stories are so #@%$*!^ good that I really have trouble coming up with the words to do them the justice they deserve, that’s why!
ARGGGGH this book flung me around on an emotional rollercoaster ride- right from the beginning. The story starts off with a bang, and we jump right into the action. I wanted to hit the pause button, but I was too afraid that I’d miss something. So the high-octane adrenaline fueled action pulled me in and then held me captive while everything unfolded.
We’ve been on quite a journey since starting out on book #1. So much has happened, the books really feel much longer than the novellas they are- and I mean that in a good way. While the books may be short in length, they are in no way lacking in content!
This book is part of a series and is not meant to be read as a standalone. You won’t get the full impact of the story, or series, if you don’t read the books in sequence. Each book is told from a different perspective, which really helps build the tension, suspense, and impact of each individual book as well as the overall storyline…
After the climactic ending to the previous book, I really though I knew where the story was headed- but I definitely should have known better! Gwyn McNamee always twists things in a direction I don’t fully expect. There are some things that happened in this book with certain characters which had my heart in my mouth- and left me cursing out Ms. McNamee. And, if she is reading this, she will know exactly what I’m referring to! I had expectations, and then Ms. McNamee snuck up behind me and smacked me over the back the head and said think again B*@%h!…..And I have to admit now, in hindsight, and after numerous readings- it was the best direction to take the story!
So, how far would you be willing to go to protect, or avenge, a loved one? Would you let wrath lead you? Would you fall into its bloody embrace? This story explores this concept- and we see what happens when a monster and a dragon go head to head (and no, this isn’t a paranormal story)- just read it and you’ll know what I mean!
There is sooooo much more I would like to say, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. So, if you like compelling, dark, and intense reads- with complex characters and multi-layered storylines- then this is definitely the story/series for you! What are you waiting for? Dive in!
Brilliant!

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Angela Hayes

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin #2)After Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

 

 

“It’s not about wanting.
It’s about needing.
Need for revenge.
Need for violence.
Need to let wrath consume me.”

After Wrath is the second riveting book in The Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. This is part of a series and is not meant to be read as a standalone. You won’t get the full impact of the story, or series, if you don’t read the books in sequence.
Each book is told from a different perspective, which really helps build the tension, suspense, and impact. I love the way Ms. McNamee wove this story/series- she left me guessing as to which direction she was taking the story, and series- and I was anxiously reading along to discover what would happen. There were quite a few shocks, twists, and surprising developments- which is quite a feat considering how short each book is.
As I said in my review for the first book- this might be a short story, but it packs quite a punch. It is dark, erotic, raw, bloody, brutal, and action-packed. I loved the complexity of the storyline, and of the characters. Being able to weave such clever twists, and create such complexities in such a short space is really a testament to Gwyn McNamee’s writing prowess!!
This is a hunt for revenge. Our character is consumed by his rage, his wrath is palpable! We are pulled into his vortex of rage and death-dealing mission, where we get a front row seat to all the action; from Pittsburgh, to Cuba, and Argentina- he leaves a bloody trail of violence in his wake. But will his obsession be his undoing?
The epilogue of this book made me sit up and take notice- the first time I read this book I was beside myself- I could not wait for the next book to be released to find out if what I thought was actually what was going on- because you never really know with Gwyn McNamee behind the wheel. And even though I have read this book several times now, the epilogue still makes my heart pound!
I’ve said this before, and I will say it again- Gwyn McNamee is one of my favourite authors, who can take any genre and deliver something that will completely enthrall me, every time. She’s such a brilliant storyteller, capturing my attention within moments of starting any of her stories and then taking me on a ride that will stay with me long after I’ve closed the book. This story is no different- and I especially loved how she worked and moulded the darkness of the theme. I think she wears darkness beautifully and this book/series is definitely one of my favourites of hers- ever!
One of the best things about this series, for anyone who hasn’t read it yet, is that all the books are available to read right now- so no waiting between books!!! #WINNING
Bravo!

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

Wrath (The Deadliest Sin #1)Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Wrath is the first book in The Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. This is about the fourth time I’ve read this book and I love it just as much as I did the first time it blew me away. This might be a short story, but it packs quite a punch. It is dark, erotic, raw, bloody, brutal, and action-packed. It is such a short read, and because quite a lot happens in such a short amount of time- reading this book was like being shot out of a cannon; flinging me into a heart pounding ride while I hung on for dear life, with all my senses on high alert…. And I loved every single second!!!
Wrath is the deadliest sin, and this story/series explores how wrath can consume a person- and what they are capable of while in its grip. The story is full of passion, destruction, violence, insanity, festering hate, suspense, and revenge.

I think she wears darkness beautifully and this book/series is definitely one of my favourites of hers- ever. I would love to read more ‘dark’ stories from her in the future.
Because the story is so short, it would be easy to spoil it for you by going into any detail- so I’m not going to explore any of the storyline here- I recommend diving in and letting Gwyn McNamee and the story blow you away.

Just Brilliant!

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Debi Kircher

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas #2)Rogue Wave by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee

5 ++++++ Stars

I just read this book in about 3 hours, I could not put it down once I started. I was so so so angry after Squall Line (angry in a good way LOL) and I could not wait to dive in to this one and I loved it just as much as Squall Line…There was sort of a cliffhanger but not one like the other so Im not swearing after this one.

There was a twist in this one that floored me, I had no idea and I think I kinda like it but I’m not sure, so we will see what the next book brings.

I have fallen in love with all of these people and can’t wait for what I hope is all of their stories. This series is a bit different than I’m used to from this author and Im really really loving it and hope she continues it for a while. I love how she is carrying these stories over into the next book, keeping everyone major players throughout.

I loved it as I do anything that this author writes and can not wait for the next in this series.
