Scar
Julian “Scar” Ragna is the former Enforcer of the Via Daemonia Motorcycle Club. A tortured soul, Scar would do anything to protect those under his care. He failed in that duty once and won’t fail again. Years ago, Scar made a deal with the devil to avenge the lives of his Delta Force team. Now the devil wants his due…but Scar won’t go down without a fight. He has no idea that that fight will bring him to the literal doorstep of the most formidable woman he’s ever met.
Everyone underestimates Tally Meacham. Born with bilateral anophthalmia, Tally has been blind her entire life, but she refuses to let that stop her. Against the odds, she became a successful chef and opened her own restaurant. Lately, things have been happening. Weird things. She swears there’s a man in her apartment but the police say no one is there. She knows; she can sense him. He hasn’t harmed her nor has he spoken to her. But he’s there, watching her. So Tally does what she does she cooks for him.
Can this unlikely pair take down Scar’s enemy together—even if that enemy is Tally’s father?
Perfect for readers who love a dark, brooding protector who'd burn the world down for his woman, a blind heroine who refuses to be underestimated, and the tortured found family loyalty of an MC series.

We're back with Via Daemonia MC and Scar. This one has been highly anticipated and I knew it would be extremely emotional. This author has given us Scars journey in such a way that's even more beautiful than I could have imagined. He's had such a sad, tragic past, used to no end, and had he not been found, he'd still be being used for others gains or dead. Tally, I could talk endlessly about Tally. No one could be more perfect for Scar! She is the very definition of fierce! She's definitely had her own tragedy and trials but has come out the other side strong, independent and determined. In every way, shape and form she has Scars back. They complete each other in a way that I've never seen and the way they care and understand each other is unfathomable. This author has given us an unforgettable journey and a spectacular experience with this story. Well done Ms. Gedicke!

Oh my heart. 😭💔
This book had me alllllllll in the feels. I’ve been waiting for Scar’s book forever it seems like and it was well worth the wait. I knew he would have a sad past but this book broke my heart. Elise, where would you like me to send my therapy bill??
Even though it was sad in parts it was so beautifully written and he is now my favorite character, which is saying something. I can’t wait for the rest in this series!
🖤🖤 please check TW as this one does get a bit darker than others in this series.

Scar
In my opinion, a good book makes you think and feel and is memorable. Using that or any other yardstick, this is a great book. Scar is the VDMC character I immediately fell in love with (so did many, many other people). During his scenes in Lucky, I knew I needed to know his story.
What I read in this book made me smile and made me cry. Scar’s past is very dark and has absolutely guided the entire trajectory of his life since. A patriotic boy came back from war a destroyed soul. I cried during the flashback scenes (dammit, Elise) and even though I knew that Scar emerged broken, I was absolutely riveted by those scenes and found them very suspenseful.
Scar’s present is complicated. After a near-death experience, Scar must find leverage against the leader of a secret, ebil organization in order to neutralize a threat against his VDMC family. This leads him to the leader’s daughter, Tallulah, who is a blind chef and a total badsass.
Tally fascinated this reader- and Scar. He watches her from the shadows and unlike everyone else he can’t fool her into thinking he’s not there. Tally is the perfect person for my Scar. She keeps up with him and is a badass in her own right. But it’s the fact that, although she is physically blind, she is the only person who truly sees Scar. One of the many tragedies of Scar’s life is that he feels unseen and unloved. This is not completely true, as the members of the VDMC family love him, even though they don’t understand him completely.
One of the most delightful bits in the book is a series of DMs to Scar from Keys, the IT person of the club, who writes to Scar even though Scar has been declared dead and a funeral was held. These messages to the ether reveal a lot about how much Scar is cared for, as well as a lot about Keys, and I am looking forward to *his* story now. My TBR could bury a small country at this point.
Scar’s future is, of course, in question at the start of the book. But as he stalks Tally and they develop a strange but silent relationship, there are possibilities. Strange because he is mute and she is blind, yet they communicate at a heart-deep level.
The sexytime scenes are an epiphany. Scar as a sexual being fulfills a lot of my fantasies, and the build up to that point may be a slooow burn, but is so worth it with the payoff. There was a later nude scene that, although not explicit, was both humorous and sexy, with more than a touch of Fanservice. And I loved it.
This book dragged me into all of the feelings. Elise Gedicke leads the reader in a dance along the edges of suspense, devastation, and hope. She is a gifted author, and this is her best book yet. Highly recommended.

MMC/FMC - Scar and Tally
Genre- MC Romance
Heat- slow burn, open door. More plot than hot, but good hot.
Series? Y. To get the full experience of falling in love with Scar, you would need to read the previous books in the series (particularly Lucky and Pirate), but you can read Scar as a standalone and not be confused.
Safety? Y. There’s no cheating or SA.
Triggers- honey, if violence gives you pause, go read a Harlequin because it’s graphic up in here. Includes torture, threatened SA, child endangerment, self harm, and language.
Tropes- the typical tropes don’t apply here, but there’s Morally Gray, Former Military, Broken Hero, Badsass Heroine, Safe Stalking, Ebil Secret Organization, and The Way to a Man’s Heart Is Through His Stomach.

Finally the book we’ve all been waiting for ( or at least I’ve been waiting for), Scar’s story. From the first time meeting this MC member in book one of the VDMC, I’ve been dying to find out Scar’s back story and I’m happy to say this book does not disappoint. I received an advanced reader copy of this book for free from BookSirens and the author and am leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts are my own.
This picks up at the end of Pirate and Sophie’s story with slight overlapping of the novella , VDMC vacation. There are some truly tragic moments so please read the trigger warnings, but the way this author beautifully addresses military life, PTSD, and the after effects is truly amazing and realistic. Scar is definitely my favorite (so far anyway) with his dedication to the club, its members, and their families but the cause of such dedication was truly heartbreaking. He has a definite ¨Captain America¨ vibe going, with the strength and fortitude to match. Going after the daughter of his enemy to keep his ¨family¨safe seems like the perfect decision, but once he meets her he´s intrigued in a way he’s never been before, as Tally has her own ¨Marvel¨-like qualities, even though many may think her ¨disabled.¨.
I love that both leads are strong, mentally and physically, despite their so-called weaknesses. Tally’s innate talents may have been helped along by her father’s military training, but at some point she’s had to hone her ¨skills¨to find ways to accomplish the ordinary things that many truly don’t think about. Her awareness of Scar is a feat of amazement on its own, but her physical skills are out of this world. Scar too amazed me. Yes he´s strong and heroic, which if you’ve read the previous books in the series you will be well aware of already, but his moral code is the true strength of his. The little touches he does to ¨assist¨ Tally in making her life easier are book boyfriend gold material (straightening up another man’s apartment? Truly that had me falling right there).
I really feel like you should have read at least read the last book in the series (Pirate) to really appreciate this book (although I highly, highly recommend the whole series), but the author does have definite skills in incorporating past story lines for those that may be new. I am happy to say you’ll find many a familiar faces in this book, but also there are some hilarious and heart warming new ones too. I suggest having some tissues nearby when reading because there are some really sad moments but as I said the authors attention to detail when addressing military life/PTSD issues never ceases to amaze me.
This book has a great blend of action, intrigue and suspense, soft MC references mixed with military life and highly enjoyable romantic banter. I highly recomment this book and can’t wait for more to come. 5 stars, must read.

When he came out of the military he had both brutal mental and physical scars. Trained as a weapon, a killer, he is also fiercely loyal to those he care about. When his past catches up to him and threatens his club, his family. He chooses to leave to protect them. What he doesn't expect is to be fascinated, obsessed even with his enemy's daughter. He sought her out as a threat to his enemy, but she is nothing like he expected, nothing like anyone he has ever known. She is blind. Completely blind, but still fierce and independent, and she seems to instinctively know him in a way that no one has ever seen him. She knows he is watching, she feels him, and drawn right back to his silent presence. This story is complex and layered. While this is part of the MC series and characters from the club to appear in this story, there is also quite a bit that takes place outside of the club. It is not necessary to have read the prior books in the series, but will help in understanding. The author does give you a quick overview of characters at the beginning and that definitely helps. These two characters are amazing and so well described that you can visualize them and immediately become invested in them. Their story is a long slow burn as there is a lot of ground to cover before they become involved. But if you slow down and enjoy the ride you will see that their interactions are in fact their own kind of courtship and it is sweet and romantic and tender in such unusual circumstances. When they do finally get together it is literally everything you could have hoped for. They are fiercely protective of each other, they love hard and passionately, and they understand each other in way that no one has ever understood them. Their story is brutally beautiful. The part I did not love so much is the shifting back and forth between the present and his former military time. While I understood the impact that had on his life, there was a lot of page time dedicated to it, and it felt that the conflicts that were happening in the present were rushed and given little detail, and those were part of their story. I didn't need so much detail and so many entries of the past to understand the impact it had on him. I wanted more detail of his club rallying, the retrieval, the capture of the enemy and less about the past. While I understand that it made him, the present is what made them, and them is who I was invested in.

This is the book I have been waiting to read. Until now, Scar has been a shadow warrior who has shown up to support and protect the men, women and children of the Via Daemonia MC who he thinks of as family. His past has been a mystery, especially what happened that left him scarred, unable or unwilling to talk and where he goes when he leaves the Via Daemonia MC for periods of time. Scar has become a target for some one in his past, someone who wants him for some unknown reason. He is presumed dead by all those who call him friend after he once again stepped in to protect them. But Scar isn’t dead to the enemy, who has soon becomes his prey. Scar will do anything and everything to protect his Via Daemonia family, including staying dead to them and taking on any and all who dare to threaten them. He will stay in the shadows, waiting, watching and protecting his family. Scar seeks out any advantage or leverage he can use to lure or eliminate the enemy. He could have never expected to find an extraordinary woman who truly “ sees” him as he is, mind, body and soul even though she is blind. Unfortunately, Tally and Scar (Julian) must go through unimaginable trials and hardships before they can claim each other.
This book is raw, rather dark and rather unnerving at times, but it also includes a heartrendingly beautiful love story. Scar has seen many of his brothers in the Via Daemonia MC find their true mates, their ol’ oladies, and has believed that he would never find anyone who would want the ruined shell of a man that he has become. His past is truly horrific, as are many of his past deeds, but even his black soul and heart, as he calls them, can feel pure, unadulterated love. Tally is the one who inspires those feelings and returns them wholeheartedly. Both are extraordinary individuals who have found the strength to survive and conquer seemingly unsurmountable challenges. They have an undefinable connection, a connection they won’t allow anything or anyone to break.
Reading this book induced more than a few tears, the gritting of teeth and gasps as Scar’s past is revealed. His interactions with Tally evoke smiles, laughter and sighs as their relationship evolves into an epic romance. I won’t hesitate to recommend this book, but please be aware that is indeed dark and violent at times.

6/5⭐ 1🌶️ 5❤️
I received an ARC of the book for free and this is my honest review.
This book was one of my most anticipated reads of this series. From the moment I met Scar in Lucky's book I knew that I would love him, and that his story would be one I would think about often. I had such high expectations for this book and I was so pleased with how this book turned out.
I loved this book so much! Though you can read most of this series as interconnected stand alones, you must at least read Pirate before you can read Scar. I highly recommend you read the whole series before you read this book though. To really understand the relationships between Scar and all the other characters in the Via Daemonia world, I would definitely recommend reading the whole series for a more emotionally impacting story.
It is a hard read. It is emotional and goes into sometimes graphic detail of torcher and mutilation. Please read through the triggers before continuing this book. I came to love Scar as the silent protector from the other books in this series and I knew his story would be emotional, and it is very much that. This man has suffered so much in his life. If you love him as I loved him from the previous books be prepared to cry a lot in this book. This book was one of the more emotionally devastating books in this series, a lot of trauma and a lot of hardships, but also so much love that you can always expect from this huge family.
The FMC in this book, Tally, I love her more then words can say. She is such an incredible FMC. I love the way that she sees Scar and the way she sees the world around her better then people who have eyes often do. She is the perfect match for Scar, I don't think that there could have been a better written FMC for him. I just love her and her wittiness. I love the way that she just know what Scar is thinking and feeling, that she understand him in such a fundamental way.
I highly recommend this book, it is so good and so well written, but have some tissues handy.

This is the book I've been waiting for since the beginning of the series and it didn't disappoint. I knew Scar needed someone that could be the light to his dark, but also be a partner and match him. I was excited Tally was a POC main character rep, and although at first, as much as I loved the Daredevil references I wished she was more similar to him because her specific disability, not being "normal blindness" threw me off, but it worked well. I wished her character had more opportunities to show even more of her skills, solo and as a team with scar. I loved the texts to Scar from his club brother, and the revelations where Scar got to see how much he mean to them and he's not alone and doesn't have to be. This book has all the feels in many ways and I wished it was longer, which is probably my only downside. I did think and hope Scar and tally were going to adopt the kid, so that was a bit disappointing, but I'm hoping Tally is able to change Scars mind about kids. I think as much as he loves the club kids he would be awesome, in addition to the way Things like touch is different with Tally, I think a kid of his own would add so much of a change element emotionally, mentally and physically. Help him heal, grow, and just add a layer of intrigue. Looking forward to the next addition to the series

I’ve said that every new book in this series is my new favourite, but this time I’m saying that this one is my all time favourite of all the books in this series!
I wasn’t sure how it was going to work with Scar being silent - not only by not talking, but super stealthy, silent movement as well, and his leading lady, Tally, completely blind. How could that possibly work??? Trust me, it SO does!!
We get a glimpse of Scar’s past and how he came to be the way he is and when he gets pulled back into his old life, he decides to take matters into his own hands to protect the VDMC family. That’s what brings him into Tally’s world.
Talley is amazing. She is completely blind, but has been raised to hone special skills to navigate to world around her and protect herself when needed. She can’t hear Scar, but can sense him and knows he’s there.
They build a special bond and connection and their love story is so unique. I ate up every word and was so in deep with them every step of the way.
I thought the emails from Keys were so funny and sweet and gave another layer to Scar. There was still humorous moments to balance it out and plenty of surprises and plot points I was not expecting, but were absolutely perfect and I can’t see it happening any other way!
The ending was a Chef’s Kiss and I can’t say much because it would spoil it and everyone deserves to experience this most amazing book for themselves!

I knew this was going to be a difficult read emotionally and I was right. Elise Gedicke has such a way of writing these stories that you get grip you by the throat. To me this is not a stand alone read. To get the best of this experience you need to start at the beginning.
Tally, OMG there couldn't have been another woman better created for Scar. She is such a badass and so protective of him that just made my heart happy. If anyone deserved his HEA it is Scar. Too bad she has the devil for a father.
Lets talk about Solo…..the telling of Scars time when he was known as Solo was something very emotional to read. When we find out why he doesn't talk, buckets of tears. Then when alpha got his hands on him and turned him into his own weapon just further made me understand the Scar we have today. If Bulldog hadn't found him when he did, who knows what would've happen.
I love that Tally found Scars family and they stopped at nothing to get him back. Really showing him that he has always been loved and wanted. I also loved Keys little messages at the beginning of the chapters. 😘
If I could I would rate a 10 out of 10 because it was that awesome. Thus author knows her characters and delves in the deep recesses of them to give us such an emotional and gripping book, well series really. Last sentence…..chefs kiss. 💋Can't wait for Pumpkin!!

Amazing....I absolutely loved this. Scar is my favourite character in this series and his book was the one that I was looking forward to the most. I can confirm that it lived up to my expectations, no disappointments! I have to say I adored Tally just as much.
From everything you learn about Scar, throughout the other books in this series, I knew that his story was going to break my heart...and it really did...buuuuuut the author did a fine job at patching it back up by the end.
Another very well written story, with an amazing plot that was executed well too. Considering, by this point you know most of the people involved well...the character development was still really good too. Scar's backstory was approached in such a way that it really made me love him just that little bit more.
The attention to detail in Tally's character was top tier and you really do get a feel for her as a person, much the same for the other additions to the VDMC universe.
This has been my favourite book of the series and I'm so happy with the outcome. I would most certainly recommend this book.

Scar is book eight of the Via Daemonia Motorcycle Club Series.
Elise is an amazing writer. All of her work is superb but this one is a cut above the rest. It is a masterpiece of emotion. Seeing the events which led Scar to how he is now is an emotional journey which you share with him. Trust me, some tissues will be necessary for some of these moments.
I have been waiting for this one for a bit. I really liked Scar from the first book and was excited when I found out he was getting his own book. It was worth the wait. The finally line of the book is amazing. I teared up and got very emotional as it is a groundbreaking moment.
Before reading this one, Angel was my favourite book, but Scar has quickly pushed that one to second place and I am not sure if any other book will be able to surpass this one, in my opinion. You should read the other books in the series before this one to get the full story, but if this is the only one you read, then it is so worth it.

Packs A Serious Punch
Ms. Gedicke knows how to pack a serious emotional punch with her books. I love Scar and knew he was damaged and broken from his time in the military, but you get the full story here. Although his initial goal was revenge for his brothers who were tortured and killed, he still found himself with the MC club family and was forced by Bulldog to join and find healing through them. Ms. Gedicke immerses you in his past that you feel Scar’s emotions as well as his old teammates. There is also the backstory with Alpha and Primis that is just as heartbreaking. Enter Tally, who I absolutely love and is perfect for Scar. I initially wanted to see Scar with Ivy but Tally is so much better suited for him. Watching their trust build, seeing the club find out he is alive and go to his rescue, experiencing Scar and Tally touch, and getting updates on the others makes for a compelling story. I had to read it again immediately.

So fantastic, I’ve loved Scar’s character since I started reading the Via Daemonia MC series and new that when he took an Old Lady she would be someone very special and I was not disappointed with his choice. I absolutely loved Scar and Tally’s story ❤️❤️❤️ the absolute trust she had in him was amazing, no words are needed in their special moments because Tally feels what he needs to say and is always one step ahead of him with his feelings. Scar is equal amazed and flabbergasted with Tally’s ability to not only survive but to navigate her world without fear, she is strong, independent and capable of defending herself against stronger people which thoroughly enamoured her to Scar. A definite page turner and very entertaining. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎🖤

Oh, I've waited for this one! I think we all have, to be honest. Finally unwrapping the mystery of who Scar is and what happened to him. This man of unwavering loyalty to his brothers and their women, to the organization, and especially to the children of the MC. Who could possibly be good enough for Scar and, at the same time, bring him back to the MC? And how did this incredibly brave, strong man survive the horrors he faced?
Heart-pounding action leads us to many more questions ... and some more answers. Sometimes, the blind will lead us and the mute (or stifled) will speak for us.
While this is a standalone novel, to fully understand the back story and what has led us to this point, I really encourage you to read the other books in the series. Wish I could give this book more than five stars.

Elise did it again. I love her books. At the end of the last book Scar was injured and believed to be no longer. He was found luckily and was on the mend. He woke up not knowing where he was. This guy Alpha came in the room. Scar wasn’t happy. He was able to get out of there but he couldn’t go home to Mount Grove for certain reasons. So he headed to Atlanta to do recon and this is where he met Tally. He was in awe of her. She was born without eyes and she handled her own in every way. Scar was a member of an elite team for the military tasked with the dicier missions. The last one he was on they ran into trouble. After he got out of that situation he met a guy called Alpha while he was in the hospital. Alpha offered him a chance to get even. You learned all of this through flashbacks.

Scar and Tally
From book 1, I needed Scar's story. I never dreamed anyone could be better for Scar than me. 🤣 Enter Tally. She's beyond perfect even though she can't "see" for Scar. All of Elise's books are unique and phenomenal for each couple, but this one will rip your heart to complete shreds while piecing it back together, maybe not perfect, but with a whole lot of scars. To finally hear what happened to Julian and all he endured to become Scar will leave you changed in ways you can't fathom. To read Key's messages to Scar and know him on a different level will make you laugh and cry in equal measures. I can’t express how beautiful and tragic this story is, but I will leave you with one quote from this.
“Then I’ll talk for him, Si. He’ll be my eyes and I’ll be his voice.”

Wow!wow!wow!
I absolutely loved this book.
I have many times been disappointed when it comes to my favourite character book in a series but this one was absolutely brilliant. I had it in my library for a few days before I plucked up the courage to read it, it did not disappoint.
Scar and Tally’s story is full of intrigue but also laughter. Tally is a force to be reckoned with. I loved her. The interaction of Scar and Tally is so beautiful.
At times it was hard to read Scar’s backstory and I often read snippets to get the gist of all he had suffered.
This author just pulls you into her world and holds you there while you travel a rollercoaster of emotions.
I like the way all the charters are there from the previous books and the story flows around them.
Excellent, well written book with an HEA.❤️

Don’t read this if you don’t want to feel the story. Don’t read this if possessive, alpha men aren’t your thing. Don’t read this if you don’t enjoy books that suck you in, chew you up, then spit you back out - never to be the same again.
This author broke the mold with this book. Scar’s story was soul crushing, in all the best ways. I knew it would be impactful, but would never have even guessed to the degree it was. And his love interest - Tally - well, I couldn’t have chosen better for him. She is a tough, resilient FMC who is perfect for him.
This book has ALL the feels and action. One minute you will be sobbing big ugly tears and the next you will be chuckling out loud. It was perfect!
Bravo, Elise Gedicke. Bravo.

💖💖💖 Scar and Tally 💖💖💖 I have been impatiently waiting for this book and it is an outstanding book! It can be read alone but to get the most out of the book, I would recommend you read the series in order! Scar has been a mystery during the rest of the books!

Do read the trigger warnings in the front of the book. Thank you Elise Gedicke for a wonderful series and this amazing books! Every book you write shows how much talent you have!

It took me three goes before I decided to finish this book. I wasn't enjoying it at the beginning so after a few chapters, I read a different book then I went back to it. Again I only read a few more chapters before I stopped again and wasn't sure if I would continue. After a week I started reading it again and then it took off. I couldn't stop reading it. It may been the mood I was in when I first started or it didn't grab me at the start like all the others have. Really glad I finished and gave it a go to the end. This book has some extreme depth to it and not lightly glossed over. Deep and emotional but loving and loyal to the end.

I have read all the books in this series and I can say that I was most excited to be able to finally read Scar. I loved that we learned how he became the man he is and the way it was written you can just feel the emotions he went through with the past and the present. She writes characters that you want to meet, see and would feel protected by. There is a mixture of lighthearted parts, soul crushing moments, cut wrenching and happiness. I went through the emotional ringer and I would do it again. Last time I cried to an ending of something that had me on the edge of my seat was Guardians of the Galaxy and I was a mess but yet went right back to do it all over again. Thank you Elise Gedicke. From an avid reader.

This book introduced me to VDMC and let me tell you - I WILL be going back for more! Scar and Tally’s story got me out a huge reading slump and I’m so glad I found it. I’m not usually a fan of books with flashbacks, but these were done so well and added so much depth to the story. I loved Scar and Tally’s dynamic. I found myself crying, laughing, kicking my feet, all of it. I took away a star because some of Scar’s affection towards Tally at the end gave me secondhand embarrassment for the other VDMC members, but - oh, who cares, it’s a romance book! I can’t wait to read books 1-7 and I especially can’t wait for Keys’ book (Elsie, I’m begging here!).

I’ve only been able to get my hands on a couple of this series but this one was really something very special. Scar was always the one who took care of snd gave everything to his family so for Tally to come into his life was just so wow. Alpha was a nasty mess but Tally was the antithesis of her father. Her mom is terminally silly but raised a strong independent daughter who has morals. Scar needed something real and previous I his life to balance out all the bad. All in all this is truely a spectacular book.

I’ve been impatiently waiting for Scar’s story—and it absolutely did not disappoint! He’s intrigued me since the very first book in the series: the lone, damaged man carrying the weight of horrific injuries from his time in the military. Throughout the other stories, it was clear just how fiercely protective he was of his chosen family, and that only made me want to know more about him. I was truly hoping there’d be someone special who could break through his walls and help turn things around—and I’m so glad we finally got to see that unfold.

This is the first book I have read from the Via Daemonia Motorcycle Club Series by Elise Gedicke and I was unreservedly impressed with the emotional roller coaster I was taken on with Scar and Tally. I will admit that I probably should have read more from the series for more background but I heard great things about this book and couldn't wait to read it, I went in blind. Now I'm wrapped up and need more!! I will definitely be reading the previous books!! Thank you for introducing me to the world of Via Daemonia!!

This follows the mysterious Scar that has played a part in most of the previous books in the Via Daemonia series but without much being revealed of his character.
In this book we find out about Scar’s history before joining with the MC and brings us to his current situation including his relationship with Tally.
Although I have enjoyed all books in this series, I think this may be my favourite yet.
A really great read.

From previous books, Scar has always been in the shadows and steps up to protect anyone associated with his family, the Via Daemonia MC. I've been waiting patiently for his story and it does not disappoint. He has been through unimaginable horrors, but has survived in his own silent way. I loved his romance with Tally as it was just as mysterious as he is. Tally is a perfect match for him because she too has learned to live with a disability that would hinder most people. This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster, but in a very good way.

Maybe i can be considered biased lol But I absolutely LOVE Elise's Via Daemonia Motorcycle Club series. Learning about each individual member just brings me joy. Now this whole Scar book… WOW!!! Reading his story learning why he never spoke in all the previous books, how he can move around without trace. He is one of my favorites for sure. I see him so strong and protective and like no other and since i've read all the ones before this one I feel connected somehow.
