The ThievesThe Thieves by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After reading the first novel in this series, I could not wait to get my hands on the second. Unfortunately this one did not meet the standards of the first book, but I still really enjoyed it. The reason for the four stars instead of five is because I had such high hopes and I was let down a tad by this one. However, this novel is very original. There is not necessarily a “good” guy in the situation. You feel sorry for Jas, but she still committed a crime to try to help her father. Not only that, but she created three other accomplices along the way.

The author does an amazing job creating characters that come to life, a plot that does not disappoint, and a story that you cannot put down until you finish it. The author creates characters like Jas and Bets that you like but want to dislike in the same token. Their moral compass is a tad skewed, but what would you do if you were in their position? Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good action-packed novel. Such a quick and easy read. This can also be read as a stand-alone. The only thing that really connects the two novels is Millersville; the plot lines are completely separate.

This is the second book in The Millersville Series. It is a fast paced, entertaining thriller. Each chapter rotates from the viewpoint of Jasmine and Bets. There is plenty of high stakes and action on this novel. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat. You just never know who’s going to to show up or what’s about to happen until it does.

Shadow (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book Two)Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadow is the second book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC Series by D. M. Earl. The series follows an all-female motorcycle club, with each book focused on a specific member of the club. Shadow focuses on the club’s enforcer, Zoey. There is such a roller coaster of emotions in this book; from anger, fear, and heartache to shock, sadness, and love. Just like the first book, Earl uses amazing world building to put the reader in the middle of small town life in Timber-Ghost, Montana. I think Shadow could be read as a standalone; however, having the back story from the first book and getting to know the characters already will really make this book flow a lot more quickly. Definitely another winner by D. M. Earl!

The Thieves left me feeling similar to Shore Lodge, another book in the series. I can’t really describe it, a feeling of incompleteness…. They are stand alone and non-overlapping characters. This book, while exciting and entertaining, ended too abruptly. The wrap up was too quick and clean. The characters were wonderful, and there was a lot of unexpected reveals along the way. Some parts had me on the edge of my seat and other parts I was laughing. I’m glad how Dan turned out… I was worried for a while I would hate him. I don’t want to reveal too much but this book was worth the read. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I enjoy this author quite a bit, so I was excited to jump into this book. The Thieves was good but I was expecting more. Not that the author didn’t produce a well written book, I just wanted more out of it than I got.
Written two points of view. Two different sets of thieves. The initial thieves and the ones that stole from them. 500k at stake will they be caught? Will the initial thieves get their money back? So many questions and tons of answers. So let’s jump into the adventure, shall we.
Jas thought, Phil and her pulled off the perfect theft. $500k from her boss to get her sick father treatment and the rest to disappear. Because if her boss found out she’d definitely disappear. What she didn’t factor into her plan was that Bets and Zerk saw it go down and decided they were going to take their score as their own.
Bets and Zerk just got the biggest score of their lives, now it’s time to settle down and quit the business. Ending up in the small town of Millersville they thought they were golden to settle down. Unfortunately those amateur kids were coming for what’s theirs.
It’s a constant story of back and forth that overlaps nicely. From reading a previous book by this author I was hoping for a better climactic ending, I think I set my hopes a little too high. Doesn’t mean it was bad, it just fell short that’s all. But don’t let that deter you. Jump in and you may feel differently. The book overall was good! So read it, I dare you… lol

4/5 stars

This is book 2 of the series and it’s just as good as the previous book. It’s a fast-paced story of two duos and this book will have you wanting to see what’s coming next. I was pulled right back into the story. It was kind of interesting to hear it in audio. The narrator has a good voice. I do wish she had a little more variety to the voices. There was a touch of monotone but I still thought it was good. She still made it thrilling. The variety and excitement that might have been added would have made the story jump to another level. Everything did flow pretty good. Overall, a story that I would recommend to all.

This author’s storytelling has me hooked. The character development and banter are unmatched. Here, we dive into Zoey/Shadow’s story, and it is dark. What’s amazing and consistent is those she is surrounded by and their love and concern for her. How she learns to navigate that and grow by the end is wonderful. I would read 100 mire stories about Zoey.

What started out like a robbery gone wrong turned into a quirky adventure. I was moved by Jas’ motivation for the heist in the first place and felt a connection with her purpose. The adventure was more dramatic and entertaining because of the multiple views from the other characters and gave the story more depth. The author gave the characters their own flaws and made them all the more realistic with the oddities that gave the tale a slightly humorous aspect. I enjoyed listening to the twists and turns the novel took and was pleasantly surprised by the end!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in The Millersville Series. This book isn’t as much of a dark psychological Thriller as the first book The Lodge but it is still an entertaining Thriller that will grip you from beginning to end.
This is a story about theft, danger, family, friendship and its full of twists and turns along the way. The characters are well developed and as a reader you feel that you are right along with them. The story is told by alternative characters which keeps the story interesting and allows the reader to get both sides of the story.

Jas and Paul thought they had pulled off the perfect robbery. When Jas’s father has been found to have a lung disease she knows she will stop at nothing to get him treatment to prolong his life. Even if that means stealing the money for the treatment. They think they are in the clear until they are stopped by a couple of “officers” but they were wrong and when they then find themselves being the victims of robbery they lose everything.
This other couple Bets and Zerk are seasoned criminals and they think they have finally got their win fall and could retire. However they didn’t get away a free as they thought and they really underestimated the determination of Jas to get back the money.

What follows is an action packed story full of twists and turns as Jas fights against time to retrieve the money to help her Dad but will she be too late?

This was a strange story with what felt like a bunch of random thoughts being thrown together and I really didn’t feel like it was a thriller. However, this book read super fast and I really enjoyed it. The title is so fitting for the book as it follows the story of several thieves and their bizarre interactions. If you want a quick and entertaining book, this is it. You’ll find yourself cheering on both the good and bad guys. The ending was perfect and brought everything full circle.

Where do I even begin! I love this author and her amazing stories. I only put the book down bc I had places to go people to see and puppies to watch! This was an automatic don’t put that book down kinda book! The story was extremely well written, fast paced, and captivating. You’ll jump from character to character, scene to scene, and won’t miss a beat. Jasmine is out to save her fathers life with a healing surgery in Mexico. Of course it is extremely expensive, so this amateur concocts this plan to steal enough money to take care of him and extend her father’s life! Well as she is robbed by clearly knowledgeable crooks, she decides to keep fighting and not give up! You will be surprised at this series of unfortunate events! This is a must read! Also check out her other physiological thriller! It’s cinema worthy!!!

This book I’ve been looking forward to since the first one! Shadow is the tough-as-nails enforcer for the Devil’s Handmaiden’s MC and I am absolutely blown away at how Earl wrote this one. I was on the edge of my seat and in tears at times, but the development of her character in this tale was just so well done. Serious Trigger Warning, but if you want to believe in someone being able to heal and have a life, this is the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story picks up right after the events of the first book. As with the first book, be aware of content warnings. This story deals with some heavy subject matter that may be difficult for some readers.

I felt like this book is actually better than the first one. Where the first one was a good story, it didn’t have the overall feel of a usual MC tale. This story brings the atmosphere you would expect from an MC book. The intensity was higher. The suspense was better. You get to see how strong the women are to a better degree. Shadow’s character felt more real to me.

The one thing that I didn’t care for is there were times it felt like Panther’s heritage was fetishized. I’m not sure if it was written that way on purpose to reflect something about the characters since most of it was in dialogue, or if it is the way I interpreted it. Example: One of the characters says, “I’m assuming he’s Native by those awesome cheekbones and beautiful long, black silky hair… Can I have one of those for my next birthday?”

Overall, I enjoyed the story!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started this book , finished it and then took a few days and read 2 others on between and then re read it ! Why ? My mind was so absorbed with the cruelty of Jaclyn’s kids that I couldn’t give an honest opinion of the story as a whole , I know , I’m strange but it is what is , right ?!🤷‍♀️🙈🤣📚❣️

Jacklyn and her husband are celebrating their anniversary and he literally drops dead ! Everyone grieves in a different way and my heart aches for Jaclyn and I think it’s because I’ve experienced loss and it feels like your heart is outside your body and you’re just this shell so when she has a mental breakdown I just want to hug and tell her it’s going to be on and help her through it but I kept telling the empath side of me to stop 🙈 then her it’s decide she needs a retreat and my shackles went up 🤬

While I was mad the kids I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Rose to a degree because she’s got enough on her plate as it is and it seems Dusty has altering motives and doesn’t want to be saddled with the burden of his mother 🤬 and he’s pulling the wool over Roses eyes

I felt murderous as n Jaclyn’s behalf when she realised that her retreat wasn’t what it was made out to be and man this woman has a fighting spirit despite the crippling heartache and that made me love her so much more !

A brilliant read that had my emotions all over the place 😉

This book blew me away! The second of the series, this one is incredible. Female MC club and these women are insanely strong characters. This book took me on a ride through all the emotions in my wheelhouse. I felt wrung out after reading this, and was struck by how profoundly this author was able to reach me as a reader and allow me to feel, and almost experience this storyline alongside the characters. Panther and shadow were amazing and their dynamic was powerful. Great book!!!

The Thieves is the second book in The Millersville Series. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely a fan. I read the first book in this series and I definitely recommend reading or listening as its just as great as this one. I listened to this in one sitting,the narrator’s voice lured me in and kept me glued to the story till the end. This is a fast paced  thriller about  recovery mission and determination to save  her father. I highly recommend listening to this book to find out what happens next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC Series. It is STUNNING!!!!!!!!! It is a fast paced and a standalone. I finished this book in one sitting! I couldn’t put it down. Drama, Danger, Struggles, Scars, Enemies, Survival, Family, LITERALLY EVERYTHING you could want in an amazing book.

The story is about a leader of a MC club that is focused on taking down a pedophile ring in Timber-Ghost. This book definitely showed a glimpse at how dangerous and cruel this world is. That children and teens actually live through this and have to find a way to survive.

Shadow has been through an immense number of struggles and has issues with allowing other people in and trusting anyone. She has a hard time with this especially when she starts to become involved with Panther. Will she be able to work through her issues? Will they be able to uncover the rings? Will they all be able to heal?

I definitely recommend both books in this series. While it is intense and gives a lot of information, it is a rollercoaster of emotions but in a good way.

Shadow has a horrible past. She works hard, with her MC to keep others from having the same happen to them. Her past makes it hard for her to have a relationship but she’s trying. Her world explodes with a difficult mission but her man is there, waiting patiently, to help her.
Opinion
This book is an interesting read. The plot is well thought out with a multitude of different characters that developed well. It is the second book in the series and I would suggest you read the first before delving into this one.
This book does cover a good bit of sensitive material. I would caution anyone who doesn’t like darker books before reading this.

I love a good women MC. Tink is the president of a biker’s club called the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. Her club also helps save people who are apart of sex trafficking. Tink has had a lot of tragedy in her short life. But it makes her incredibly strong. Tink only wants to find one person in particular, Hannah. I loved the character development throughout the story. You get action and romance.

“Noodle” comes in, is a Navy SEAL who is in Montana helping with an animal rescue. will he be the one to help her with the demons running through Tink’s mind?

I cannot wait to read Shadow!

Jasmine Bucker does something she should not. But she does have a plan and nobody is going to stand in her way. Her father is sick and she promised she would help him financially.  But as luck would have it. Something very wrong had taken a turn for the worst. The phony cops have taken her money and she will do what it takes to get it back. That’s all I will tell you about the story, no spoilers for you. This author not only writes well, her stories are well worth reading. Her sense of humor plays a big part in this fast paced crime thriller. I love the interactions of the characters. At times I found myself laughing at the events of this story. This is a must read series! I can not wait for the next book.

This is my first audio book by this author and I look forward to more in the future.  I enjoyed the narrator’s tone of voice as well as their ability to keep the story engaging.  The characters are connectable and add so much to the story.  I really enjoyed them and what they brought to the story.  I also enjoyed how the narrator brought so much life to the twists and turns that it had me coming back for more.  A story of a recovery mission to save a father and a daughter determined to save him.  A story with great growth and one I enjoyed listening to for sure.  I highly recommend this audiobook.
