General Thoughts: This was a spicy and dark romp that I really enjoyed. I do think the first book was better for me but this book was done very well too.
One thing I can always count on McQuerry for as an author is handling mental health with care and respect. The content in this novel, while dark and triggering still shone an important light on the realities of anxiety and depression. I appreciated how realistic and relatable it was.
I do not feel like the plot is the main focal point in this series, but more so the motivation of the characters succumbing to their wants and desires despite the consequences. Therefore what I get out of the plot is sufficient to me. The plot in this novel definitely was suspenseful and interesting regardless. I enjoyed the continuation of the overall plot of the first book while focusing on a new relationship.
I overall have really enjoyed this series as a whole and this novel is no exception. I liked book one slightly better due to increased yearning and the characters being a better fit for me, but I can't wait for the third book.
Disclaimer: I read this book as a eARC from the author. All opinions are my own. This is my honest and voluntary review.
I haven’t finished a book so fast in a while. This was everything the anger, the tension, the forbidden looks, and touches just eatsss🤭. Ryder my baby has been through it and even then he couldn’t resist falling for Madison. Also seeing how Madison always had a soft spot for Ryder and finally getting noticed by him and falling in love was beautiful🥹. Also the kinks and spice 🌚🤭. Anywayss Im happy my babies are finally free from the fuck ass family and can be happy and in love🙂↕️. Cant wait for Nova and Aiden’s book😌.
Ryder the man that you are! While Jaxon is still my favorite, Ryder is definitely up there. This series has some of my favorite tropes and Willow did not disappoint
🖤Secret Society 🖤Mystery 🖤Step-siblings 🖤Cam girl 🖤Arranged marriage 🖤Toxic parental figures
Ryder has a hate to love relationship with his step sister Madison. She just wants him to love her, be her big brother. However, Madison is friends with his bully, she even dates him. When said bully decides to get handsy Ryder can’t let that stand because he’s the only one who allowed to hurt his little sister.
”Just scream little sister, and I’ll silence them all for you.”
Madison and Ryder fight secret feelings for each other that neither know about. All Madison wants to do is use her cam girl earnings to escape her father and future husband that he’s arranged for her to marry. They’re not about to let her go that easily though. Ryder, however, also isn’t willing to let her go, especially after he’s had a taste.
The Exodus series by Willow McQuerry is one of my favorite forbidden romance series. Book 1 is taboo, with half siblings, which I know isn’t for everyone. While I recommend reading that one first, you could read this without reading book 1, you will however not know what is going on with Jaxon and Dahlia, but you will get just enough information to understand the storyline.
Thank you so much to Willow McQuerry for allowing me to read this pre release in exchange for my honest review
AHHHHHHH I feel like I’ve been waiting so long for this book and to finally finish it has me over the moon!
I love this serise, the taboo and forbidden tropes will always be the best because you get this moment of exciting “we shouldn’t do this” “what if we get caught” That gets the brain panicking and I live for it
The storyline moves kinda fast after the 50% mark I find, but it’s wrapped up well, I love that we got a chance to see more of the other characters, more friends to peek at what their story might be.
The spice, wild. We love a virgin FMC.
I actually think after my reading slump this book helped me come out of it!
Please check your trigger warnings and content warnings before reading this
Madison has been trying to get her step brother Ryder's attention for awhile now. She will look at him, try to talk to him or even stare at him when he is with his friends but he just doesn't give her the time of day. She feels like he is ignoring her and no one ignores her and she doesn't understand why she feels this way about him.
Ryder is annoyed by his step sister Madison, he doesn't understand why she is friends with people who bully him and his friends. When she starts chipping away at his layers and figuring out why he is the way he is towards her something changes in him.
Once I started this book I couldn't put it down because I needed to know what was going to happen next. Madison is doing what she can to get closer to Ryder and he is just making it so she can't hate him and want nothing to do with him. When he comes across Madison running away from something with the look of fear in her eyes something snaps inside him and at that moment he will do whatever to protect her.
I loved Madison and Ryder together because they fit each other. I loved that way that Madison started chipping away at what things were going inside of Ryder's head. The way they wanted each other so badly but Madison was scared of her Fiancee and her father would do but once she hit the point of she didn't care she didn't care. I couldn't stand Justin or her father because WTF. LET ME TELL YOU THE SPICE 🥵 THE SPICE WAS DEFINITELY SPICING AND I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH.
Feral, obsessed, love these two so much. I mean SERIOUSLY, the I f*cking hate you, but wait.. I want you BAD, to finally I love you. 🤤 The touch her and ☠️ is so delicious. Don’t mess with that man and what is his. F*ck around and find out. Iykyk hehe these guys don’t play games.
The trauma is REAL. For both of them. Mads doesn’t have it easy whatsoever. Her life feels chosen for her and screw that. Her dad is a total POS. Meanwhile Ryder has been dealt some shitty cards along the way and feels utterly alone and angry.
The two of them together, ooooof. Who turned up the heat, because it was scorching in here.
If you haven’t started this series (it CAN be read as a standalone but really you should read them in order.) I cannot suggest them enough.
Thank you for Willow for giving me a chance to read this book as an Arc this was one of my most anticipated books of the year and it did not disappoint I fear whenever Willow writes these taboo step siblings trope she slays it everytime I am so in love with this book Ryder was everything he was such an interesting character even from Cry little sister Also man is he hawt? He’s super hot I loved how protective he was of Maddison How much he was obsessed and also in love with her The way he kills for her and protects her was pure love Also the tension from the start was so thick I was literally fanning myself cause these two were so hot like them holding eye contact or just accidentally touching is super hot They had great chemistry and I loved the representation of mental illness
Maddison she was one cutie I loved her character so much Girl wants what she wants and got it I loved how she also took care of Ryder and made him feel seen and cared The plot was interesting too and I loved Ryder smashed Justin The only thing that the book lacked was like they only expressed their love during the smut scenes and there was too much smut scenes I just wanted a love confession with no sex Like it’s hot and all but I felt like they lacked a little emotional connection in that part But they had such amazing connection since they were kids I loved the friend group so much Jaxon Ryder Hawk and Aiden they are just hot bikers and I love how protective they are of each other
Also I ate up Jaxon and Dahlia scenes I was so excited to see them I love them so much they’re still my No:1 in this series it was so great to see Dahlia have female friends and be more happy Also i enjoyed protective Jaxon so much Aiden and Nova I need a book I hope the next book is about them I’m so excited!
Currently reading Cry Little Sister and lovinggg it so far! Fingers crossed this is a continuation of the same sibling's story just because I've gotten super attached to them. Even if this one's about a different pair of siblings, I already know I'm gonna read it <3
*I received the author in exchange for an honest review*
I absolutely loved Cry Little Sister, and this book was just as good! (Though I have to admit, Jaxon and Dahlia do have a special place in my heart)
This book was dark. Seriously, be sure to check the TWs before reading because it deals with a lot of unhinged and sensitive topics, plus it's definitely taboo. I want to point out that the notes at the beginning of the book are so considerate, the mental health rep was dealt with so well, and I'm so proud of the author for being honest and open- so lots of kudos for that!
The plot is fairly straightforward, maybe even predictable, but honestly if you're reading a book like this then you're probably here for the romance, like me. Ryder and Maddison are like kindling and flame. Together they burn brightly, and the heat burns so hot. They're both flawed characters in their own ways, and both have some trauma they work through throughout the book, mostly together and sometimes on their own. The hate/love relationship combined with the forced proximity and forbidden romance was delicious, I ate it up like chocolate cake! The smut was so good, though some of the stuff wasn't for me personally, it was still steamy to read.
I liked the side characters and glimpses at Jaxon and Dahlia who are from the previous book. I'm really intrigued as to Nova's character and her past, I hope we get her book next but no pressure. The friendships were almost just as important as the romance, and I'm loving the girlhood that's forming, it's goals.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Whilst the first one is more my favourite purely down to personal preferences and my connection to Dahlia, this was definitely another hit in the Little Sister series, and I'm sure if you liked the first book then you'll enjoy this one too!
Dedicated to all the depressed and anxious babes who feel like they aren't worthy of love. Yes. The fuck. You. Are.
our fave band of masked biker outcasts are back!! ive been pining for this book for months!! & all i can say is...the wait wassoooworth it!! where jaxon was "scary dog privilege" with dahlia in book 1, our emo biker ryder was more "hate to love" with madison. how can he not when his camgirl stepsis hung out with the same crew who bullied their group since she was 10!!
i shouldnt find this hot right?? its disturbing!! filthy!! its despicable!! oh but i do...i love it!! i shouldnt want this right? & yet i dooo!!i srsly fckn do!! the intensity of these big brothers, their levels of obsession, the thrills, the toe-curlin thigh clenchin spice?? ugh!! i was a puddle of goo!! there are some possible upsetting, very triggering situations so pls take that into careful consideration. but if u got thru book 1 & loved it?? this is a no brainerMUST READ!!

thank you to miss willow herself for the opportunity to early read and review book two scream little sister. I also got the privilege to read an early release for book one so I’m super appreciative.
I really enjoyed the story and how it gave a little bit of back history then immediately went into the present timeline from where book one ended. I love the forbidden taboo aspects of the book and the plot. I enjoyed the spice and how they grew together as a couple since in the beginning he resented her for what he believed she stood for. However I don’t think we got to see him explain why he shuts down to her and her opening up to him about the bathroom incident. Just seemed like they wanted to keep that to themselves and never specifically stated if they came out with that to each other if I’m remembering correctly.
Other than that I really enjoyed the book and since we got a glimpse of the dynamics between the other guys and their sisters I can’t wait to read about them as well.
Overall I really enjoyed the story and would recommend to my dark romance girlies.
This book delivered on so many. Feral Unhinged —hats off to the characters, taboo—makes the read interesting, nail biting suspense —-when shit oops off it pops off——shock —— trauma that pours from the pages nostalgic—— Jaxson and Dalia and the whole Exiled society etc.. just so much was given to the reader in this story.
The knees jerk response message in regards to mental health was incredibly spot and such a personal message.
I love dark elements that was explored specifically this..
“… then I’ll find them and slowly kill them for touching her cut their hands off and shove them up their asses. I’ll cut their tongues….”
And can’t forget this..
“…. I stumped my boot on the back of his head and grin at the satisfying, crunch his teeth smashed into the curb, and he lets out a wail. I raise my leg and stump again, crushing his skull into the pavement blood splashes against the curve and mixes with the rain”
This was so good. I love a good step sibling romance. These two had great chemistry on page and it was a thrill to read. I loved the little twists and turns right when things were starting to get comfortable. Ryder is just my kind of obsessed man, he breathes her in. He is not afraid to let her be who she is, he accepts her and also pushes her to do things she wants or things that might seem scary. He helps her grow. On the other side of the things, Madison helps him too. She shows him that love is not always conditional. When you are with the right person, they love you and your flaws. You do not have to be perfect to be loved. She healed parts of him that she didn’t even know she was healing. Loved cameos of past characters and can’t wait to read the next book.
OKAY HELL YEAH 👏🏼 I love love a good taboo dark romance and Willow executed this very well imo.
This is book 2 in an interconnected stand-alone series, book 1 is not necessary unless you wanna know about the other couple mentioned often in this.
The tension in here was 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️ seriously some of the best tension. Our FMC is a curvy cam girl who has a step brother that just really caught her attention 😉
Ryder the man that you are, tattooed, biker, “touch her and die” all you need to know 🤭
For dark romance terms, it’s definitely more of a slow burn, but when that spice hits oh honey it HITS 🥵
Little bit of a secret society element thrown in there as well. If you want more of a back story on the secret society you definitely have to read Cry Little Sister.
Definitely check your trigger warnings before going in 🖤
Ryder despite hating Madison for her father’s actions towards him all these years, she always had Ryders attention. He kept his promise of her being his and not letting ANYONE touch her. Ryder has dealt with a lot mentally, physically, and emotionally but Madison came along and grounded him. She saw him when no one else did. She cared for him despite her feeling like he hated her and never understood why.
Madison our plus sized queen felt like she never had control of her own life, forced into an arranged marriage, being physically abused, sexually assaulted. She wanted to have control so she created an alter ego online, to escape the prison of her home, under her father’s ruling.
Madison and Ryder didn’t act on their feelings towards each other, until they both realized they mutually craved each other. The fact that Ryder didn’t want to act on anything until Madison gave herself to him Willingly, we love that!
6 ⭐️ read! YALLLLL! Ok i need to start this by thanking @author.willow.mcquerry with not only allowing me to be apart of her team and trusting me with the ARC read for the second installment of her sisters series, but for also blessing us with this masterpiece! Now, please remember to read your trigger warnings before diving into a dark taboo romance. Ryder and Maddy’s story was perfections to me from start to finish. The tension and build until they finally released their feelings for each other had me PANTING! As a plus size girly myself, having a beautiful and confident FMC who has an apron belly like me be loved and worshipped was such an incredible journey! Not to mention her openness and representation of mental health issues with her characters. This was truly so so good and i couldn’t get enough! When this book drops on the 15th you are NOT going to want to miss it! #bookworm #bookish #bookstagrammer #bookaholic #bookreviewer #readingcommunity #screamlittlesister
This captivating book follows the complex relationship between Ryder and Madison, illustrating how their initial animosity gradually evolves into a deep and passionate love. The emotional tension and angst presented in the narrative are profoundly moving and brilliantly crafted. If you're drawn to enemies-to-lovers stories, particularly those featuring taboo elements involving little sisters, this tale will resonate with you. Additionally, the portrayal of mental health issues in the story is both insightful and thought-provoking, offering readers a valuable perspective. I was particularly enamored with Ryder’s character; his journey adds significant depth to the storyline!
I fell so hard for ryder. Madison is adorable through it all, even with everything she has been through. I truly hate Jerry & justin deeply and mickey they are on my hate list .
I love Minnie so much she amazing woman always had mads back .
you know what big middle finger to ryder mom ( Carolyn ). I wanted to strangle her so badly.
my poor ryder had so much suffering. I was crying yes im emotional cause wtf he didn't deserve that at all."
Nova & Oliva, dahlia are the best ❤️
I have so many favorite parts . I love this book so much.
“Oh, doll. It’s like you’re begging for my touch. You’re soaking wet for your big brother.”
I’M OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK!!! I’ve been so intrigued with Ryder since cry little sister let me tell you he did not disappoint!!🫠 I love the push and pull between Ryder and Madison they definitely have a hate to love relationship. Madison has away tried getting Ryders attention but Ryder refuses to give it to her. I’m very interested with the other characters in the books and their relationships.This is dark, twisted and taboo if you love those tropes this is for you!!
This book is so good y’all. If you like dark spicy taboo romance then add this to your TBR! It is a standalone, but it’s highly recommended to read the first book, Cry Little Sister, before jumping into this one.
I LOVED Ryder and Madison’s story.. all the built up tension through the years made everything so much better.
The videos/texts that Ryder sends to her fiancé, OMG I freaking loved it so much.
This book was absolutely feral and unhinged , it was a wild ride from start to finish! It pulled me right out of a reading slump and reminded me why I love willow’s writing. I loved the first book, but this installment was just as well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I had a great time reading this story and could not put it down. The spice and suspense delivered.
Cry Little Sister is one of my favourite books ever, so when Willow announced this one I was so excited, and even more happy when I received an ARC of this!
I loved this book. It was a bit of a slow burn at the start, but it made sense. Ryder's growth and the progression of his feelings made sense. He is a well-rounded character and I loved watching him realize there was no being without his little sister.
The spice was fantastic, which was no surprise. Willow knows how to write good spice.
I have so much respect for all the good rep in this book. Sex work, depression, anxiety, and plus size! It was all executed masterfully.
Over all, I loved this so much. I cannot wait to read about the other couples!
I was one of the lucky ones to do an ARC read for this book. I'm relatively new to Willow's writing. This is the second book of hers that I've read, and I love it more than the first. The chemistry between Ryder and Madison is fire. I identify very much with Ryder and his way of feeling and thinking. I've been there. Thank you for writing the struggle. The book is phenomenal. Check your trigger warnings.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 5 Star Rating Multi First Person POV (Madison & Ryder) Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Scream Little Sister, and I’ll Silence Them All For You
🖤 𝓻𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀 🖤 First, there was Cry Little Sister with our harrowing taboo romance with Dahlia and Jaxon who were inseparable. Now, Willow gives us Madison and Ryder, who are in the same friend group from the previous book that are dealing with their own issues alongside theirs. This is a four-hundred page taboo romance that centers around mental health and forbidden love with an enticing plot that has you in a chokehold until the end.
Scream Little Sister takes place after and during some of the events from the previous book in the series. As it relates to outside characters that have now become our mains. Madison and Ryder are brought out as a love/hate step-sibling relationship from the start. At first, Madison longs for her step-brother to notice her. Acknowledge her as a sister. But he refuses, giving off a hatred vibe whenever she draws near. He sees her befriend the very kids that had been bullying him and doesn’t understand her intentions. Until she finally gets him to crack and express his emotions to her, they become closer together.
As the story progresses, our characters get older. Madison is arranged to be married to a man named Justin that her father had set up and all she wants to do is escape. Using the money she earns from being a cam girl, she derives a plan to escape the future set out for her. But when Ryder finally lets go and gives her everything he’s been holding back, there’s no way he is going to give her up. This story is packed full of action, spice, and a bond so tough, you’ll get jealous of this fictional romance. I even loved hearing about what was going on with Jaxon and Dahlia from the previous title. But the moment I was cheering was when Ryder finally cracked Justin. It was a moment you’re just waiting to happen throughout the pages.
This series has me all giddy because these are books where the characters have those moments of what would happen if they were to get caught. Being in the taboo trope makes it more heart-pounding on how people that are the closest to them are going to react when they find out. The way they are absolutely made for each other, it’s just perfectly written and well paced so you’re completely sucked into the novel until the very end.
There are some triggers that may be too much for some readers so I would definitely suggest checking those out before beginning the series. Book One, Cry Little Sister was part of the Exodus series but would be recommended to read first so you understand what is going on and who these other characters are that are creating the chaotic plot. A must-read for those that like their steamy spice with a dash of taboo.
Scream Little Sister is book 2 of the Little Sister Series. Ryder is unhinged, emo and obsessed with his step sister Madison. He hated her for who she was, hung out with and the way she made him feel. Ryder and his friends are seen as outcast, trouble makers, but they are not messed with. They may seem like they don't have any emotions, but they love and protect their sisters.
Ryder and Madison met when they were 10/11 years old. His mom married her dad. Her dad beat Ryder and kept him away from the family. Madison has been controled since she was a little girl and had to keep up a certain image. The parents were horrible. I love Madison's aunt Minnie, she stood up to her dad, which is Minnie's brother and never showed any fear. She was a baddie!
Madison is trapped in an arrange engagement with one of the biggest jerks, Justin.She is a plus size, cam girl with a kinky side and wants Ryder.
He and his friends took part in Hellfire Night and unalived one of the Kings' son, who more than deserved it. Even though there are no rules and anything goes, revenge is being seek. Madison's dad makes Ryder move back home because of it.
Ryder starts to notice that Madison is not happy with the engagement and her fiance Justin is trying to hurt her, Ryder steps in and protectes her and claims her as his own.
Ryder not only has to prove to Madison that he can keep her safe from the danger from her father, those seeking revenge and Justin, but that they belong together. Their love for each other is stronger than the taboo of them being step siblings and what people would think.
Willow does an amazing job when it comes to writing a dark taboo romance story. I love her style of writing. She never shy away from adressing mental health and domestic abuse. I love she reminds how special her readers are and are wanted. She also includes the phone number to help lines for those seeking help. I love she does this!
I could not get enough of Ryder. Him and his friends are not your typical heros, but they will make it known who belongs to them and when you f-around, you're going to find out. I can't wait for book 3. Scream Little Sister is definitely a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ must-read. Willow doesn't skip on the spice. Ryder is a sadistic who loves to ruin his baby sister and she is willing to scream for her big brother 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶.
Holly Sh*t!!! this book so amazing!!. The unforbidden love between step-siblings is just the icing on the cake. And don't get me started on how Ryder is obsessed with Maddison and how he loves all her curves. For him, she's perfect in all ways. He would burn the world just to be near her all the time and protect her from all the people who hurts her. BTW THATS WHAT HE DID!!!!. The fact that he is a biker is just sooooo good. We love a good biker boy who's not scared of going fast. I love how he left Maddison be his backpack. My ex never let me cause in his words "I'm too fat and needed to loose weight". Since then I have been thinking that I'm not worth of being a backpack for anyone. But this book made me realize that just maybe someone out there would want me as a backpack. A girl can just hope.
Now lets talk about the spice. I don't think I've ever highlighted so many spicy scene in one book. Her being his toy and him trying not to hurt her in the begging was the most heartwarming moment ever. But the after she gave the green light? Holy Sh*t! boy did not hold back. He gave it his all. And lets talk about the nasty and dirty talk. Boy if you talk to me that way, trust me I will give in to you in one go. No restriction. And yes "Raw, Next" if you get what I'm saying. And the piercing. God the piercing! My heart was about to explode. I needed to put the book down sometimes and giggle like and idiot for a second before going back to reading.
Now for the plot twist. I wasn't expecting THAT from the father and all. For him to add himself on it was just awful. I'm just glad Ryder got there in time. Cause I was about to go into the book and deal with him myself. Did expect Justin to do something. That much I knew sine he was a douche from the get go. A man that don't values his girl, is not a man at all. Right ladies? And then Ryder sending him Sex vids was so funny. Felt like he was giving a B*tch slap. Too good.
If your into Bikers, Secret Society, Step-siblings, OF (yes. you read that right) and a lot of SPICE, then this book is for you. I would never stop recommending this book enough. Hope you enjoy it and happy reading "wink,wink"
