Hawk, Sergeant at Arms of the Devil's Murder MC, is loyal and cutthroat when it comes to his club. As a protector of his brothers, enforcer of the bylaws, and security, Hawk takes his position seriously, especially now that his president has been murdered by the Dirty Death MC. He won't rest until the blood of his enemies has been spilled, and justice served. He'll make damn sure that Rook is avenged and his son Crow doesn't meet the same fate.

But Hawk didn't count on the feisty, outspoken, desperate girl needing to rescue her sister from the dirty politician wreaking havoc in Nevada and the escort service that trafficked her out of the city. Callie is willing to do anything to bring her sibling home—even offer herself to a playboy biker who refuses to be shackled with an ol' lady.

Hawk never gave a damn about anything other than his club and brothers. Living free and wild without attachment kept his life simple and easy. Now, he's falling for this sweet girl and willing to invest in more than one night in his bed. Callie has him twisted up, ready to go to war to save her family and hoping to claim the innocent, curvy blonde he can't get out of his head. When she disappears, he knows he's the only one able to save her. Can Hawk protect her when everything comes crashing down, or will his need for vengeance risk both their lives?

HAWK is a full-length, standalone bad boy romance with a slight paranormal twist. The series features take-charge bikers who adore and fiercely protect their women. This is a dark romance with violence, biker slang, forced proximity, and an OTT protective outlaw. For best enjoyment, the series should be read in order.

Because, BABYYYYYYYYY...MIZ NIKKI LANDIS SURPRISED THE HECK OUTTA ME 🤣😳

Hawk pulls his Harley next to the woman, weaving drunkenly as she walks down the highway. But it is her appearance that really catches his attention. She is covered in bruises and dried blood. His blood boils when he sees her abuse.

He would ensure that whoever did this would never lift another hand to hurt anyone. He would gladly serve his time for ensuring she was safe.

A year later, he steps out of prison a free man.

Callie had just gotten home after her shift waitressing when she reads her sister's name on the incoming call. Sighing, she answers the call. But when Sadie tells her that someone is trying to kill her, the tiredness fades away.

I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. Even though this story has its own HEA, I would suggest that you read this series in order as the characters are recurring and there is an underlying enemy throughout the series.

This book is action-packed from cover to cover with some unexpected twists including the POV of the enemy. This MC romance is smoking hot and full of danger and some shifter justice. Highly recommend!

Fantastic MC Book

Devil’s Murder MC series has proven to be an absolute winner. I usually don’t do PNR books but this author has a unique way to make this so believable that I can’t get enough of this series. Hawk was a true dark hero throughout this book. Saving a woman from her abuser to end up in prison for five years.

Hawk’s chance meeting with that woman’s sister sure made me fall in love with him all over again. The goings on between Devil’s Murder MC and the club they believed to have killed their former President was going full scale towards war. With a crooked mayor in with the Dirty Death MC things get dirty fast.

What a great book full of action, drama, steam and so many things happening that I couldn’t turn pages fast enough. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!!

Hawk by Nikki Landis is the first book in a new series, the Devil’s Murder MC!! LOVE the play on words with the MC’s name. A murder…since they’re all crows!! Anyhow, this story follows Hawk and Callie. Hawk is the Sergeant at Arms of the MC and he has NO PROBLEMS doing anything…anything at all to avenge his MC. Then, Callie shows up looking for her missing sister…and everything just blows up!!!

This story is full of angst, betrayal, revenge, hope, romance, loyalty…and so much more!!! Thoroughly enjoyed Hawk and his cavalier attitude on the surface…but, his deep issues hidden beneath. Callie is feisty and determined, fiercely protective and devoted. Both of them may be in way over their heads!!! Excellent story!!! Can’t wait for more from this series!!

Non stop

This one begins with a few flashbacks to give you better understanding and it also kind of goes at the same time as Raven’s story ( book 2). Make sure that you read this series in order
Hawk will have you imagining a certain song as you read the beginning. So good and so well written. I loved how the author used some inspiration from a kick ass song - or maybe it was the other way around!
Thai one was such a good read and it will have you laughing, cringing, cheering and on the edge of your seat. I loved it!!!

Another great story in the Devils murder MC series! I really enjoyed this one. The banter between Hawk and Callie was great. The story pulls you in from the very first page! Hawk and Callie's fate was decided long before they met. These stories get better and better! I can't wait for Talons story! I love that there is a paranormal twist to this series that makes it unique.
Highly recommend this series if you love MC Romance with a twist!

Love these guys! Exciting plot and a meeting that connects the characters over a 5 year period. Each book reveals a little more of each paranormal character and I loved the development of Hawk's personality. Callie is an awesome character with a strong personality and plenty of sass and she is hell bent on saving her sister. Some very steamy moments between these two that will send the temperature up. Looking forward to more of these amazing paranormal MC books from Nikki.

Outstanding read. I loved reading this book especially because of the paranormal twist. It has a very good storyline too that's well written. A few other things about this one that I liked was the forced proximity concept, an OTT H, twists, a touch of humor, and a fierce heorine. I couldn’t get enough of Hawk and Callie. A must read.

If you enjoy your Mc Romance with a side if Paranormal, you will love the Devil’s Murder Mc series.

Hawk is the third book in the series, but could be read as a stand alone due to the overlap of storylines. The way this is written does slow down the story for readers reading the series in order, but does allow for new readers to join anywhere they like.

The pace picks up around the half way point of the book, then we get the instalove, he falls first vibes.

Cameos from the Royal Bastards Mc are always a treat (Rael!) and spicy scenes as only Nikki Landis can deliver. A very enjoyable quick read.

Hawk and Callie have a connection that brings them together in this page turning read. Callie is searching for her missing sister Sadie and Hawk saved Sadie years before. I loved how protective Hawk was over Callie and their banter was great. This is a fast paced, MC romance with paranormal twists, well developed characters, steam, danger, suspense, and a great ending. Hawk is book three in the Devil's Murder MC and I can't wait to read the rest of this fabulous series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

3.75stars-HAWK is the third instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult DEVIL’S MURDER MC dark, erotic paranormal, MC romance series. This is Sargent at Arms Renner ‘Hawk’ James, and Callie Withers’ story line. HAWK can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading book two as most of the events in HAWK are as of a direct result from the events RAVEN. There is a slight cross over with the multi-authored RBMC series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. Some of the events of HAWK cross over with, and run parallel to the events of RAVEN. The Devil’s Murder is an MC made up of avian shape shifting crows.

Told from three first person perspectives (Hawk, Callie, Undertaker) covering several timelines, HAWK follows in the aftermath of the abduction of Callie’s sister Sadie. Years earlier Hawk rescued an abused and battered woman, and five years later, upon his release from prison for assaulting the man responsible, fate would cross paths when Hawk would come face to face with the battered woman’s sister Callie, the young woman who is desperately seeking her missing sister. Another abduction, a near fatal assault on Hawk’s brother Raven, and the ongoing attacks by the Dirty Death MC find Callie and Hawk struggling in their search for the people involved. As Callie and Hawk’s relationship becomes personal, someone else is targeting our story line heroine.

The relationship between Callie and Hawk is one of immediate attraction. Hawk’s crow knows that Callie is their mate but Callie is unaware of the supernatural aspect of the Devil’s Murder MC. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and often questionable secondary and supporting characters. We are reintroduced to the Devil’s Murder MC: President Crow and his old lady Bella, Raven and Bree, Cuckoo, Talon, Carrion, Claw, their healer Falcon, and IT specialist Eagle Eye, as well as Mayor Elliott, and Dirty Death MC president Undertaker.

HAWK is a fast paced story of power and control, madness and mayhem, abuse and terror, acceptance and love. The premise is detailed, dramatic and intense; the romance is a fated insta-lust to love ; the characters are dynamic, determined and energetic. The conflict has yet to be resolved-Callie’s sister’s whereabouts are unknown.

If you've ever wanted to read a hit song as a book then Hawk is for you. This is the 3rd book in the Devil's Murder MC series by Nikki Landis. She has taken this summer's hit song Wait In The Truck by Hardy and Lainey Wilson and turned the lyrics into a story. I will say that this can be read as a standalone but it will be hard to understand parts of it since this storyline happens at the same time as book #2 Raven so I highly suggest reading that one first.
This story starts out as the song Wait In The Truck does with Hawk finding an abused woman stumbling down the highway and he picks her up. Then goes and takes care of the man that abused her before ending up in jail. They stay connected and when the girl disappears her sister Callie meets Hawk after working at the mayor's office to find clues about her sister's disappearance since she knows he's involved somehow. Hawk became Callie's protector when he had to protect her from the Dirty Death MC an enemy to both of them. When Hawk finds out Callie's sister is the girl he went to prison for avenging he knows he has to help find her and keep Callie safe at the same time. They felt an attraction towards each other immediately and it built the longer they were together. Do they find Callie's sister Sadie? Will they acknowledge what they feel for each other?
I gave this book a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating because it's a beautiful love story built out of a tragedy and Hawk really is an admirable man for what he did. I loved the new paranormal/supernatural twist revealed in this book. We already knew there were crows but now those crows have to face something else. To me, Hawk is the best in the series so far but I could be biased because I love Wait In The Truck but I can't wait to see what Nikki has to us next. Talon's book is next in the series.
*I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.*

🅼🆈 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆:

Another exciting book in this thrilling series and with every book I feel I'm more and more pulled into this world and the wait for the next book is definitely becoming all the more difficult now. 😍

After that ending and also meeting Callie in the previous book with Bree, I was so intrigued to know her side of the story and if she does find her sister or not.

Hawk and Callie sure meet under unusual circumstances but from that moment on they are thrown together by people chasing them and gun fights and suspense riddled wild ride.

Hawk is such a flirt but even he feels that there is just something different about Callie.
Callie on the other hand. Poor girl. I have to admire that girl for her strength and being such a great sister for the lengths she goes to find her.

The way this one starts out sure surprised me as it builds a critical twist for the future that I really found exciting.

Callie and Hawk just lit up and were fire for their hot freaking chemistry and all that dirty talk. Oh my.. 🔥

But the plot has just thickened all the more now, that we meet Undertaker also. AND I'M FREAKED OUT FOR WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
Also, what's happening with Sadie and Undertaker is just so confusing and leaves you scared yet weirdly there's something very twisted and yet hot about them. I can't explain but just that this one definitely felt like a roller coaster ride and I'm so wanting to know what happens next.

The build-up right from the start takes you on such a journey that will keep you guessing and have you turning the pages fast.

I seriously am already wanting the next book already. This series is freaking LIT and One UNPUTDOWNABLE ride. Loved freaking loved this one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Let's start off by saying we loved it! Callie and Hawk's physical chemistry was off the chart and we really enjoyed them as a couple a lot. Callie is a feisty character whereas Hawk is a serious character and is one of a protective nature he is very protective of his club and his brothers and takes his job in the MC where he is the Sergent Of Arms and takes his duties very seriously. Loved them individually and as a couple.

The story picks up from where it left off the club still having troubles with a rival club, the Dirty Death MC, the one that murdered their former President. The story took us on one roller coaster ride of an adventure. Loved the banter that went on between the characters. There was so much going on to keep you glued to the pages the entire time the story was a well-written and fast-paced story and before you knew it you were at the end.

Overall all this was a riveting story that was filled with awesome chemistry and romance one that took some twists and turns, a rival club knocking at your door, and filled with danger and suspense.

Got to love these MC guys who love to fill their days riding free and club bunnies' glory until the one comes along and knocks them right off their feet. Loved seeing the ones who protest the most fall hard and fast.

Ms. Landis is quickly becoming one of our favorite authors whether she writes an MC or a paranormal one she always creates a story where it's impossible not to fall in love with her characters and her plots as well. Another amazing well-written tale under our belts and we can't wait for the next adventure.

Hawk (Devils Murder MC#3) by Nikki Landis is another great addition to this series and by far my favorite. The storyline is dark, gritty and raw featuring over the top bikers, who are intense and fierce as they protect their women, seek revenge dealing with their enemy in a blood thirsty way. The romance is hot and steamy with plenty of violence as you are given an insight into the biker's mindset with a paranormal twist that will have you wanting more!

Hawk is the SOA of the Devil's Murder MC who protects his brothers and club. He takes his position of Enforcer seriously as he is fierce and intense, involving use of ruthless measures, as he won't rest until the blood of the Dirty Death MC has been shed for the murder of his president to ensure that Crow doesn't meet the same fate. Hawk has just been released from prison after spending five years for protecting Sadie from her abuser, soon Hawk is a about to have his whole world turned upside down when he meets Callie who needs help finding her sister. When Hawk learns that Callie is Sadie's sister they have an instant connection, their coming together is full of intense steamy passion, has he found his mate as his Crow seems to think so. These two will to go through many obstacles full of danger, violence and betrayal to be together as the crooked Mayor is is working with the Dirty Death MC and they have now targeted Callie.. As they work together to bring down the enemy, will Hawk be able to protect Callie, get his revenge as well as keeping his club family safe? The storyline is intense, dark and powerful the characters are dynamic, edgy and sexy throw in the paranormal abilities of each member as you are in for one h$ll of a ride as your follow Hawk and Callie's journey. Nikki Landis is an amazing author who constantly pulls her readers in with each story she writes, taking us on a journey into the Devils Murder MC's world with a PNR twist where Respect is earned... Loyalty is returned.. THIS IS A MUST READ!!! Can't wait for the journey to continue with the next book in this suspenseful series!

Ms. Landis has given us another outstanding action packed MC Romance with a paranormal twist. The story picks up with the club still having troubles with a rival club, the Dirty Death MC, the one that murdered their former prez Rook. Hawk is the club's SOA and is as lethal as they come when it comes to his club brothers and those under their protection. He’s not the settling down type, a club bunnies work fine for him. But when a spunky little spitfire of a woman, Callie, enters his life needing the club's help to find her missing sister, Hawk knows he’ll do anything to help her. Especially when learning her sister is being held by the Dirty Death’s Prez and Callie is in grave danger.

This is a fast paced, exciting storyline. The banter between the Hawk and Callie is fantastic and the thrilling ride their story takes us readers on is one you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend grabbing it up along with the forest two stories in the series. You won’t regret it.

Hawk is the SAA for his MC, so his life revolves around protection so it's safe to say he has the protective gene going on plus he's also about revenge justice as well. Callie is dealing with all kinds of chaos as she's doing her best to rescue her sister from a very bad man with power, and she will do anything to get answers, including offering herself up on a platter to Hawk. He really thought that he would never get tied down, but it's quickly apparent that Callie is absolutely his perfect match so it was fun to watch him fall. Of course there's also that kicker of danger of Hawk's world, and the extra danger to Callie with what she has going on trying to find her sister so the twists are definitely coming in hot with heart racing action to boot. I also love the slight paranormal twist to these stories since it not only makes this story original but even more exciting for me. I'm so addicted to Nikki Landis' bikers that I'm always craving the next book immediately after I finish the most recent one so I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Hawk and Callie are soul mates who met through strange circumstances but recognize their connection. The DMMC has a touch of the paranormal running through them, which makes their books unputdownable. Action-packed, page-turning, bite your nails, give me my own biker with this level of hotness.

Hawk, the SAA for the Devil's Murder MC, takes pride in watching over his brothers. He doesn't back down from a challenge, especially if she calls to his protective side. Callie is desperate, searching for her missing sister. Callie knows that the DMMC is actively working on locating the rival club that has taken her sister in retaliation for ending their previous president's life. Hawk falls fast and hard for the feisty female, who doesn't bat an eye at his crow. Their souls are entwined, like the crows that mate for life, and the couple is ready to face any challenge. But the danger is real, with her former employer and the rival MC pres believing they have the right to intervene. Who will emerge victorious in this battle?
