StoryTeller’s Tale (Wretched Soulz MC) by Manda Mellett – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
StoryTeller’s Tale: Wretched Soulz MC by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Story Teller is a member of the Wretched Soulz MC but is used to being a nomad with no real place to call home. He is happy with moving from place to place and is unhappy when the club Prez orders him to come back to the clubhouse. As Story Teller makes his way home he makes stops at several places along the way. At one rest stop he discovers a book laying on the ground which only catches his eye because it has the word nomad in the title. Story Teller picks the book up and takes it back to the clubhouse with him with the intention of reading about the biker nomad the author has written about.
Story Teller thinks no more of the book, or its previous owner, until he is reading it and discovers that the previous owner has had it autographed personally by the author. He then realizes that this book must have special meaning to its owner and sets out to find this mysterious owner, Sheri, and return the book. What starts out as a simple task of returning a book turns into something far more complex and dangerous. Story Teller must make a decision that could forever alter his life and the lives of those around him.
I really enjoyed this book and the author’s spin on the typical story of the knight coming to the rescue on a white horse. As I was reading it almost felt as though I was reading someone’s story of an unlikely fairy-tale come true that had happened. The author did a great job of making the characters likable and developing the storyline.
Story Teller is a hard-core biker that does not live by society’s rules and hates to be tied down to one place. He appears rough around the edges and is unlikely to be considered anyone’s hero by any means. Sheri has always followed the rules but is drawn to the characters in the biker MC books that she reads. She is quiet and keeps to herself because she suffers low self-esteem. Nobody has ever paid Sheri any attention because she is overweight and unattractive so she immerses herself in the lives of the characters in the books she reads. When Story Teller sets out to find Sheri and return her beloved book to her he his faced with some hard choices and the choices he makes will forever alter the course of his and Sheri’s lives.
I devoured this book in one sitting and found it impossible to put down because I wanted to see what Story Teller would decide to do and what would happen to Sheri. The action and suspense intensified throughout the book and left me turning pages to see what would happen next. A great read!
