Kings of Anarchy MC: Ohio #1
Property of Scythe
Something wicked lurks in the small town of Raven’s Crest, Ohio. It’s home to the Fear Farm and the Kings of Anarchy MC. But beware, you’re always being watched…
Lottie:
I moved into town after accepting a new job as the second-grade teacher for Raven’s Crest Elementary.
It’s a chance for a fresh start. Just the thing I’ve been looking for until I become the target of a stalker. Now, I need protection.
When Scythe, the president of the Kings and the biker I can’t stop thinking about, offers his help, I accept it.
Things become complicated when I grow close to his daughter, and the danger escalates. It’s not just a stalker inside Raven’s Crest’s fall-themed streets.
There’s a killer on the loose.
I have to trust Scythe and his club to stop this monster terrorizing the town before it’s too late. But with the death toll rising and the growing crowds showing up for the Fear Farm’s infamous thrills, the killer ups his game.
He’s about to find out how ruthless the Kings can be. They’ve been caretakers of this town for decades, protecting its citizens and its secrets. Violence will only end in bloodshed.
I’m not worried about the club.
Everyone knows it’s foolish to taunt the deadliest bikers in the Midwest. It’s the killer that should be terrified.
Nobody f*cks with the Kings.
Note: Property of Scythe can be read as a standalone. The KOAMC is a 1% motorcycle club, so expect violence, suspense, mature situations, and a little splash of horror. You’ll get a guaranteed HEA with no cheating. It's a single dad, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, overprotective alpha male biker romance with a paranormal twist.
Welcome to Raven's Crest, Ohio, a small town in the Midwest where cornfields stretch far into the horizon, church bells still ring every Sunday morning, and something wicked lurks in the shadows of the oak, buckeye, and maple trees. People still wave and smile, invite you in for a cup of coffee or tea, and share the best damn pie in the world (which is served at Tillie's). The crime rate is low since Scythe and his club protect the citizens of Raven's Crest, and the sheriff is Scythe's older brother, ensuring the citizens and the politicians obey the law. It's a place to put down roots. Even the crows agree.
But . . .if you come lookin' into those fields late at night, don't say you haven't been warned. There are rumors that the scarecrows watch over the town from every corner, and there's no escape if you've harmed anyone inside the sleepy town of Raven's Crest.

Amazing
Ms. Landis has a great story here. It's a page turner and shows her talent as a writer.
The characters are each likeable and the MC members have an incredible secret that will surprise you.
This is one of the best books I've read this year.

Lottie moves to a small town in Ohio that thrives on all things Halloween. Scythe is perfectly fine running his club and protecting his town, until he sees Lottie. I love their connection and how their relationship develops. This story also has just the right amount of suspense and mystery to keep you entertained.
As always, Nikki has the perfect amount of paranormal activity. It’s present but doesn’t take up the entire storyline. I’m also embarrassed that I didn’t pick up on what that paranormal storyline would be, even though the hints were glaringly obvious. But because I didn’t pick up on it, when it happened I was genuinely severely impressed with Nikki’s creativity. Now I just need the rest of the series to be released like now because I’m hooked.

Property of Scythe
Yes!! Nikki Landis has done it again. Another new world with that delicious touch of the paranormal. No one does MC paranormal like her.
Kings of Anarchy MC Ohio is definitely a world I want to visit. Scythe is the president of the Ohio Chapter. He and his little girl are making the best of the life. The little town is perfect and has a connection that’s rooted deep. When he starts getting visions of a beautiful woman he’s not sure what it could mean.
Lottie needs a fresh start. A way to move past her trauma and get her life back. Accepting the new job in Ohio is just what she needs. Her vivid dreams of the sexy biker just makes her nights all the more special.
Scythe and Lottie have no idea what Fate is doing and how their lives will be forever changed.
What an exciting start to a new series. I can not wait for the next one

Lottie has been through a lot and has moved to Raven's Crest, Ohio, for a new start. Scythe is the President of the Kings of Anarchy MC and a single father to a little girl named Mila. When someone starts following Lottie, things take some crazy turns. Scythe becomes her protector, and his relationship with Lottie takes a steamy turn. This is an MC romance with paranormal twists. The writing is well done, the story has intrigue, mystery, drama, suspense, steam, and so much more. Property of Scythe is book one and a page turning start to the Kings of Anarchy MC: Ohio series. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Couldn't put it down!
As always, Nikki Landis has delivered another great story in this book! I fell in love with fall/Halloween theme and all of the characters but especially for Scythe and Lottie. This is a book with romance, steam, and a fated love. Of course there is a threat as well that puts Lottie in peril and that the club must deal with. There is also a very imaginative paranormal element. This book is a page turner with a happily ever after ending. And there is a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more! I for one, cannot wait for the next boom in the series!

Phenomenal
Scythe, Lottie and of course Miss Mila embark on a wildly captivating, spellbinding and invigorating adventure that will raise the hair on the back of your neck. I adored how deeply connected Scythe and Lottie were with each other. Their chemistry was undeniable and their dynamic was beautiful. Loved the that there was paranormal twist and of course the Halloween vibe. This was a fascinating story that left me wanting more. Can’t wait to see what comes next.

Love, Danger and Mystical
Wow! This book was an amazing discovery. It has love, and danger but the most surprising part of the story line is the special powers the officers of the Jungs of Anarchy have. Scythe and Lottie are destined to be together. They’ve be looking for each other for a long time but not knowing why. When Lottie is in danger Scythe and his brothers step up to protect her but Lottie protects herself. HEA. Happy Reading!!!

So, going to read this again for Halloween!
In other words, this is a thrill and chills kind of story, just in time for Octoberfest. Our girl Landis aims to scare and scary scarecrows are on the menu this around. Lottie , our heroine, looks to get away from the crazy streets of southern California. What she gets instead will change her life forever. Loved this story, I was on the edge of my sofa. I'm excited to meet the rest of the crew and cross my fingers I won't have to wait long. Thanks Nikki. Five stars and must read. Peace out.

I cannot get enough of these stories that have paranormal in them. This is so worth it. I love scarecrows. Scythe is intrigued by Lottie moving into a new town to escape her past. She is a school teacher. I highly recommend this author to everyone..

I loved this first book in a new series. It was filled with suspense that had me on the edge of my seat, chemistry, family and protective alpha males. I was so invested in everything about this book.

If you don't think "motorcycle club" and "paranormal" belong together, Nikki Landis will prove you wrong and teach you the truth.

What does the Prez of the Kings of Anarchy and a second grade teacher have in common?? FATE!
Scythe and Lottie have a connection that brings them together long before they ever meet. But not long after their first encounter, evil makes its presence known in Raven’s Crest.
This is the first book in a new series and it was a great read. Then again, I don’t know if Nikki Landis has ever written a book that I have not absolutely loved!

I have enjoyed the numerous MC's of Nikki Landis because of the fun combo of MC with a touch of paranormal. This new series is my new favourite by far. The spooky town, horror vibes and intriguing characters sucked me right in. This couple is very insta-love/meant to be and the adorable kid doesnt hurt. Great read.
September 11, 2025
Another great paranormal MC read from this author. Well developed characters in a Halloween type setting with psychopath in the wings. The plot flows well and I found myself fully invested from the start and read it in one sitting.

From Dealers to Scarcrows
I enjoyed the new story line for this series. Scythe is hard on the outside but a softie on the inside. Little went through some nasty stuff but came out on top with confidence she didn't have. I love when she takes to loving his daughter too. I would love to recommend this book to any body who loves the paranormal books.

Really good but some HUGE mistakes ruined it.
I did enjoy this book as it’s different. It’s been a nice change to read something completely different, but there’s some huge plot mistakes, that completely ruined it. Scythe is the president of the Kings of Anarchy and he can see things. He dreams of Lottie for months before he actually meets her, and Lottie has also seen Scythe. WHAT’S HIS PROPER NAME??? After something bad happens to Lottie she moves hundreds of miles away and gets a job at the school where Scythe’s daughter goes to.
When Scythe realises that Lottie is being stalked by someone he vows to protect her as she is his. Except she isn’t his. There’s no romancing her, after they share a kiss on their first and only date, he blanks her for days afterwards. 🙄 Soon they realise there is a killer in their town, and for some bizarre reason Scythe thinks it’s aimed at him and his brothers. WHY?? It’s pretty obvious it isn’t!
******************************************************************
******************SPOILERS AHEAD************************
******************************************************************
Then there’s the mistakes;
🔵 The killer is at one point chasing them and they’re running away from him, yet Scythe doesn’t try to shoot him.
🔵 The killer is at the playground and Lottie sees him but for some reason doesn’t run and lock herself and the students in the school.
🔵 Also the kids are playing outside, but when he jumps the fence to attack Lottie there’s only Lottie and Mila, Scythe’s daughter outside. What did all the other kids go? Where are the other teachers?
🔵 It’s halfway through the school day yet Lottie goes home and it’s not explained who looks after her class.
🔵 Lottie is supposed to be protected by several bikers yet they all disappear and she’s on her own.
I could go on but I won’t. I did enjoy it but too many mistakes let it down.

This author just doesn’t stop with her MC books with a paranormal twist that keep me on the edge of my seat. Scythe and Lottie were a fated couple that has now found their one. Lottie had a traumatic event happen to her that sent her from California to Ohio and the sleepy little fall themed town. Scythe was the club President and the father to one beautiful little girl named Mila.
Lottie had that feeling of being followed and it was Scythe that came to be her protector. The club’s and town’s Halloween events are just getting underway when things take a dark turn. There is nothing worse than a creepy clown to grab the attention.
What another fantastic book that had everything from steam, suspense and drama with some insanely hawt, alpha bikers to make this book a huge page turner.

LOVED IT!!!!
I’m a big fan of Nikki Landis and the paranormal bikers she writes about. This book is no exception to what I would expect.
Scythe is just…amazing. He’s everything you want in a book boyfriend and more.
Lottie is just the sweetest and kindest soul.
Together, these 2 are AWESOME.
Lots of mystery, intrigue, MC drama, spicy good stuff and the best HEA.

This is why I don't watch scary movies on Halloween. I'll never look at a scarecrow the same way again. This was an excellent story that kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. Plenty of action, heat and suspense. HEA.

She does it again….
Nikki Landis does it like no other. She brings the spooky and MC together in a gripping, “hold your attention” way that doesn’t let me put the book down! Thoroughly enjoyed every word! Can hardly wait for bk 2.
