I belong to Reaper, the ruthless biker president who loves to share me with his best friend. But what if two men aren't enough? Against all odds, I'm finding a home with the Steel Demons. Reaper worships and dominates me. Jandro sweeps me off my feet. And yet my heart wants more... Gunner nearly died to protect me, and I'm falling faster than his falcon dives for prey. After endless teasing, he admits he wants me too. The only problem? He doesn't want to share. Then there's Shadow, the tall, scarred tattoo artist who everyone is afraid of. Except me. I want to draw the quiet man out of his shell, and what better way to do so than a long tattoo session? While I'm learning how to love four men, we're being targeted by enemies that won't stop. We're desperate for new allies, and are forced to make sacrifices that could break us. If I lose one of my men? There will be hell to pay. Sons of Anarchy meets The Handmaid's Tale in this spicy, fast-paced adventure! This omnibus volume contains books 4-6 in the Painless , Helpless, and Heartless .
There were a few times where the sexy bits became repetitive/dragged things along or got in the middle of a good section of seemingly important plot points, so I had to skim, tbh. Given I’m reading these books in chunks at a time and even at the speed I am going through these, it’s several days of material… it’s a LOT. Luckily I am still engaged and this cliffy hurts me in the feelz! 💔😩
I can’t imagine not ultimately getting an HEA… but I’ve encountered a few sadistic authors in my day. lol! So in that case, I only ask for resolution.
Painless: This series is the pefect blend of Myth's. MC's, adventure love and mystery. We lear more about Freya the goddess of love, beauty. fertility sex and war. That she has chosen to be Mari's guide is a sign of things to come. Shadow is coming out of his shell thanks to Mari's infulence. Mair now has three men doting on her is it wrong that she wants a forth. I am so team shadow. This is a brilliant read. Helpless: Mari continues to be strong and indapendant. The Steel Demon have had to take refuge in Four Corners . When the goveners daughter is taken. Mari volunteers to go on the rescue misson. This does not go smoothly. This is another great read Heartless: So much happens in this book. Families are reunited. Danger is never far from the Steel Demons, and now they are determined to eliminate the leaders and those close to them. The Shadow, Mari story line is heart breaking.
Even in this reverse harem dystopian world, it’s difficult not being able to relate to Mari and I’m sure her being Hispanic helps.
It’s recommended to read the first portion of this series, books 1-3, before traversing 4-6. The hardships these characters go through really make you feel for their situation. Tess, Big G, and their baby. Balancing the relationship with Mari and her four men. Understanding the relationship of the “gods” and their “humans”. These books test all relationships—including the Demons and other factions—and some don’t end well. While reading, I was so immersed with the story that I missed so many plot twists. I don’t see it coming! That’s how you know you’re in a good story.
At this point, the spice is good but getting just a tad repetitive. Sure, they change it up or add to it but becoming foreseeable. I am thoroughly excited to start the last set of books!
😭 I was loving how their relationship was progressing. 😑 Reaper just annoyed the fuck out of me and the fact that Mariposa wants to apologize to him is irritating to me. Why are you trying to see it from his view but he isnt trying to see it from yours. I get what shadow did was wrong but it Ultimately didnt happen to him. So why are you so against listening to her and communicating on alternatives. Bringing up that he didnt kill him because he thought of her no you didnt have a choice because Hades was throwing you around like a rag doll telling you to heal b*tch do as you are told and he tells him he cant kill him.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The decision to leave their home was a difficult one to make. But once made, everyone packed up and hit the road to Four Corners. The Dons assured Reaper that they would be welcomed by the governor. A lot happens after they reach their destination, the first being a rescue mission to get Governor Vance’s daughter back. Lost family is found, multiple assassinations attempted, Shadow and Mari happen. Then tragedy strikes… You absolutely cannot miss reading this second omnibus!!! It’s fulfilling and yet nerve wracking!
I don't have no idea that crystal. Ash was such an ancredible writer for one. This series is long, which normally I tend to get a little tired of reading, if it's like it's like really long.And in the other books, it's just kind of boring, and they're doing more character building and world building.And so forth, so I tend to get a little bored.But with this book, I am totally invested.I cannot wait to read the last three books of this series.It is so far going amazing.Congratulations crystal ash.This book is great
MUST READ SERIES. CAN’t put it down. don’t want to either!
Reaper how could you! You call your people family and yet you throw them aside like trash. This was a hard read. The more you read the more into you get, it’s a real can’t put down book. But be ready with the tissues. I’m gonna need a moment before I can start the next one lol. Upset and angry. This is one of these series that you know once it’s finished you’re going to feel lost and no book will measure up.
Shadow is my man! The hurt he experienced and the hurt he caused from not being able to face a lifetime of trauma. I really hope in the next books they all get the HEA they truly deserve, but I have no doubt it will be an uphill battle. I listened to this omnibus book 2 and again Troy can read me anything, anytime. 🤤
What a story. I am all in with Mari, Reaper, Jandro, Gunner and Shadow. My absolute favourite joke is in this book, and it made me smile, although a few pages later I was left heartbroken, and this is where I am at the end of this book. I need to dive into the next omnibus and hope they get the ending I want for them
I’ve enjoyed these three books more than the first three. I’m still finding the main female a little annoying but that’s probably me. The story is intriguing and I’m enjoying all the back up characters but feel it’s dragging on a bit. I’m enjoying it enough to finish the series.
One of my all time favorite series I’ve ever read. The characters ( even when I wanna smack the crap out of Rory) are some of my favorites especially Shadow.
If I could give it 8 out of 5 stars I would. The world and character development in this series is out of this world!! I am far from done, but already wish I could start over for the first time.
