Blurb:


Someone is going to pay.
But who?

CADE

They took someone from me.
And I’m going to make them pay.
In blood.

And I will do whatever I have to, even break my own heart, to make sure she survives.
Because she is my queen.
My everything.

His grief is overwhelming and I can feel the gap widening between us.

And we are trapped as they play out their evil scheme.
Because under the cover of darkness, they are coming for each of us, one by one, to play out their own twisted vendetta.
And no one is safe.

My Thoughts:

Again this author starts her book off with something that will grab the reader’s attention. It’s also something that could very well be on the news. Violence touches a lot of people’s lives whether directly or indirectly. This gives the story a sense of reality.

Cade Calley has a tough job to do. He shows the tough side that comes when you live the MC life. Indigo “Indy” Parrish is also going to do what she’s always done and that’s helping people. But this time her heart is breaking. This was a tougher story to read than the author’s first book. There was so much tragedy that it’s not hard to have to reach for a tissue. There’s a lot of emotion here along with an escalation of violence.

This is a story where it seems as if Cade is internalizing a lot of what he’s feeling. Indy is a woman who’s hurting because of a lack of communication. Just one more thing that adds that sense of reality to everything. I started off feeling sorry for Cade but when I see his lack of empathy I switched over to Indy’s side. There’s a mystery to be solved but I just wanted to make sure that our main couple were going to make it and lead us into more of the world that revolves around the Kings of Mayhem.


Excerpt:

When I opened my eyes, the door to the bathroom opened and Cade stepped in, his face and hair soaked with rain.
I watched him pull his shirt over his head, remove his boots, and the rest of his clothes. When he was completely naked, he stepped into the shower, and without a word, took me in his arms and pressed his mouth to mine. My body immediately responded and I melted against him, seeking comfort and pleasure in his hard body as it commanded me backwards until my back was against the wet, tiled wall. His big hands moved up to my face while his mouth moved fiercely over mine until his kiss left me breathless.    
But his kiss petered out as his emotion overtook him. I looked up into his tormented face. Pain and grief were like shadows in his eyes. His face was stiff and I could feel his heartbreak radiating from him with every beat of his heart. He dropped his forehead to mine.
 “I don’t know how to do this,” he said, his voice deep and strong, but at the same time, pained and heartbroken.
“It’s going to be okay,” I whispered.
He drew in a deep breath, his hooded eyes fixed to mine. “I don’t know what I would do if I lost you . . .” His voice broke and his thumbs found the slick skin of my lower lip, his eyes intensely focused on it. I had only seen Cade cry once.
When he was eighteen and he’d ridden all the way to Seattle to beg me to come back to him after we had broken up. Otherwise, he was fiercely stoic. But now, standing in the steam, he was barely in control.
“I’m not going anywhere,” I replied.
His anguish was deep. I watched him squeeze his eyes shut and felt the slow exhale of breath as he opened them again. Droplets of water fell in rivulets down his beautiful face and dripped onto his parted lips.
His brows drew together.
“It hurts,” he whispered.
I nodded.
“I know.”
He tried to kiss me but his lips trembled against mine and he pulled away. He slapped his palms against the tiled wall and took a moment. Water poured over his head and down his broad, muscular back. His face crumpled and he slowly sank to his knees, burying his face in my stomach.
