TITLE: Destined SERIES: (Satan's Rebels MC #2) AUTHOR: Kira Johns GENRE: Dark | Contemporary Romance PUBLISHED: September 12th 2014 MY RATING: ★★★★★
Because I have been in a huge mother bugga book funk I decided to go back and re-read a whole series that I absolutely adored..
After surviving hell not once, but twice, Jade Moore is once again living
We all fell over that cliffy in book #1 luckily for me I was able to pick myself up straight away and jump into this which picked up right where book #1 ended..
Physically, she will heal. She shows no signs of broken bones in her face, but she has some deep bruising. She has broken blood vessels in both eyes, both her shoulders were dislocated, two fractured ribs, she also had numerous bites all over her body. Her thighs, breasts and even her pubic area. Some required stitches.There was no sign of sexual trauma, but she is going to have a lot of emotional scars from this, but physically she will heal.
Lives will be lost and heartache will be inevitable
Just when you think Jade is on the road to a full recovery emotionally she is hit with another whammy that will have your heart racing and your head raging with the question "Why?"
I never wanted to go out this way. I am Viper. I am a fighter. A warrior.Not an invalid that can't even get out of bed.
Before you start this book, just one word of warning "Grab some tissues" this story will leave you emotionally drained!! We fell in love with Viper in book #1 this book we had to say goodbye..Even though this was my second time around reading this, it still broke my heart into little pieces..
We know Viper as the man who killed his mother in cold blood by slitting her throat, what we don't know is what made him snap, his story will melt even the most coldest heart, it's heartbreakingly raw in it's truest form..
Viper's troubled past makes him the cold, heartless killer that everyone fears, as he helps Jade overcome her demons, he reveals his own.
My mother sold me to the highest bidder several times a week just so she could score her next fix, I was eight the I think the first time she sold me.
There were three sides to Viper, the side the world saw, the side the club saw and the side he revealed to Jade.
Shadow returns to Rockingham to be with the girl he has loved since they were kids, only to find she is in love with another man.
Everything reminds me of him and it is killing me, one cut, at the perfect depth and he and I could be together.
Things aren't so cut and dried when it comes to Shadow and Jade, miscommunication, lost opportunities, heart ache..
Don't go into this thinking that it's a tragic love triangle, nothing is at it seems..
By the time I got to chapter three I was confused, in the previous book Tank gave his blessing to Jade and Viper yet in this one he says, and I quote “Jade, no. Not Viper.” and as far as I could see nothing had changed, I thought this was going to spoil the book for me but I couldn't have been more wrong, this book was fabulous although I did read most of it through tears, and yes I know what you're thinking because whenever I read that in a review I always think 'of course you did' but it's true I spent so much time wiping the tears away that my eyes are sore. This was one of the most heartbreaking books I've ever read and I can't for the next one 'Deserved'
Qué demonios con Kira Johns, el primer libro estuvo bien, entretenido... pero este.... ES UNA TORTURA!!!!!!!!! No sólo termino con lo único bueno de la serie (Viper) hizo que nos enamoráramos del personaje, que lo siguiéramos y PUM! por sus bolas lo quito del camino. No contenta con eso, hizo esto como una novela mexicana, llena de drama y drama Y MÁS JODIDO DRAMA. Capítulo tras capítulo era lo mismo, siendo un libro de MC esperas acción, moteros, sexo duro, hombres rudos, y esto ni de cerca lo era. Para mi una total perdida de tiempo y le doy una estrella, porque hay que tener las pelotas para publicar este libro.
My feelings are at an all time high. I haven't cried this hard over one character in, whew...who knows how long. I'm a complete and utter mess, I'm mad. I mean really mad! The author Ms. Kira
I was tempted to stop reading and give up because I fell in love with Jade and Viper and their story. It was so heartbreaking and brutal and honest. Both characters were awesome. Then all of a sudden BAM! I don't even know where to start or what to do...
Jade is one the best heroines I have read in really long time and Viper is all kinds of lovable.
This is a must read for all those who love biker novels and anyone that really enjoys a good romance. But in all fairness I must let you know that this book will make you cry and not just tears running down your face but "UGLY CRY"
This book is alot deeper than the first and alot better...if you werent sure if you would continue after the first I think you should should continue. I was disappointed with Shadow though at the end and thats all im saying. Look forward to the next, hes got some major sucking up to do thats for sure. P.S This book made me cry!!!
seriously You made me fall in love with viper so fast and then this, I like shadow a lot but man, really, tissues tissues tissues..seriously DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT READ THIS BOOK WHEN YOU ARE ON A BUS.. PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU FUNNY!
This one, unfortunately, had me rolling my eyes quite a bit.
Viper was way too romantic and open with his feelings to be a hard-core biker. He went from being a ruthless sergeant at arms capable of torture and murder to a love-sick, hearts and flowers guy. The way he understood Jade's feelings towards Shadow was a little hard to believe.
The whole misunderstanding with Jade and Shadow felt forced and pushed us into another cliff-hanger...I'm stepping away from this series. I need a break.
Where to start....I UGLY cried at 50% in this book! It was SOOOO good. Kira really grabs your heart and emotional strings in this book and I couldn't put it down. The worse part was I did the ugly cry at work, I was so engrossed in the book I didn't care.
There is a lot of angst, drama, and heartbreak in this book. I know this is based on an MC, but I would say this is more of a suspense book. The MC part is the backdrop, but the true story is about Jade who is given to a rival MC by her Uncle to keep the peace amongst the MC's. She is held captive for 4 years before her brother & best friend realize that she is being held against her will.
The things Jade endured are unimaginable but Kira makes you feel like she did suffer those things and would make it. I loved that Jade was such a strong h. Viper was out of this world H. So many of the words and lines he says in the book make you think how true his words are about life and living in general.
I don't think I could read this again, but I really loved it and am sad it is over in the next book. I really just bonded with these characters and story.
I have never disliked a character more than I do right now. I cant stand Shadow. I didn't like him in the first book and now I really hate him. Not even for what he did to her in the end of the book. But for the fact that even though Jade was so in love with Viper, he still was going to try to break them up and get her back. Only when he found out that Viper was dying of cancer did he stay back. But he even said in the book, that he would just wait until Viper was gone. I mean ewwwww....come on, that is such a dick thing to do. You originally are willing to break them up then ohh look, the problem will solve itself, he is going to die of cancer anyway. Even though Viper loved him as a friend and wanted him to take care and love Jade when he was gone, Shadow still wanted Jade to himself. I just couldn't handle that situation. I know Jade was just trying to move on but I was so disappointed in her when she slept with Shadow. I think the clue would have been that she had to get drunk to do it. And does this child not believe in condoms!?!?!?!?! Cause y'all know she is gonna get knocked up by him now. I mean, if that doesn't happen, then I will be shocked.
DISCLAIMER TO THOSE READING MY REVIEW: This review is my personal opinion, it may contain swearing, quotes, rants, and spoilers!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK....
So between this book and Destroyed I have cried, laughed, sobbed, and thrown my iPad!!!! Right this very minute Kira Johns I can say I absolutely hate you! No really you are a very mean mean lady!! Please take no offense at reading that because you should be very pleased as an author to elicit that kind of emotion from a reader. You are an abso-freaking-lutely AMAZING AUTHOR!! Not only did I love all of the characters in both of these books but you were able to bring out so much emotion in me as a reader. I can't wait to read Deserved!! KIRA JOHNS YOU ROCK! You have gained a lifetime loyal reader, if you write it I will definitely always read it!!!!
I cried so hard reading this book!! I mean, really really hard!!! I don't know if I have ever read a more emotional book than this one?! This book felt so real to me, like the author was telling me a real life story not just something she made up. I have to say, after book one being so brutal, and this one being so emotional....I don't know if I am up to reading book 3! I'm honestly scared! In this book Jade has to yet again live through hell! I don't know how she survives? Viper, omg Viper. I love him...I can't get over what happens to him in this book. I was not ready for it at all!!! I will remember this book and all the crying I have done over it for a long long time! Book hangover here I come! Kira Johns....I love your writing, but I'm super pissed at you right now!! The next book better make me feel better! ;)
OMG this book was so damn emotional!!! I mean heart stopping, angsty, gut-wrenching yet beautiful and oh soon sweet stars!!!!! OK, maybe sweet seems funny but I have to tell you I am in total LOVE and LUST with Viper.... I loved Jade and Viper and yet I also loved Shadow!
OK< Viper at the end of the book, omg, what a douche!!!!!! I am emotionally drained but yep, I am diving straight into the next book. You just can't put these books down but be prepared to have tissues on hand this book tore me apart....Just GREAT!!!!!!
This was such an awesome read. This series is about Jade and Shadow. They grew up together and she has always loved him. He leaves when she is 16 and they don't see each other again for a number of years. During this time horrendous things happen to her. Through all this she ends up meeting Viper when he rescues her. They fall in love but she still loves Shadow too. Just when things seem to be looking up for Jade and Viper they get devastating news. Viper was a badass but oh how he loved Jade. He was so tender and loving with her. I cried through a big part of this book. I highly recommend this book. I'm starting book 3 as soon as I finish this review.
The first book in this series wasn't awesome but I still purchased "Destined". I got about 25% through it and gave it up because the dialog was awful and the editing was so bad. I read another book and then gave this one a shot and am so glad I did! It was like all of a sudden the author and editor gained a bunch of experience and the book reflected that. The story moved ahead at just the right pace and I FINALLY started to feel a connection to Jade and Viper. Then there was a huge, shocking twist I didn't see coming that had me crying for about the last 15% of the book! This book went from what was going to be a 1 star to a 5 star pretty quickly!
I actually finished this book yesterday but was not in any fit state to leave a review.
I don't even know where to start!
I Love my MC books but this book was something else the emotions that you feel was heart breaking it felt that you are actually living and breathing the pain that Jade was experiencing.
Viperrrrrr !!!oh my God l love you who would not want to just feel the passion of his love just for one day.
So I gave the first book 4 stars and this book 2 is worth so much more than 5 stars
It is hard to believe this is Kira Johns first book series what a way to make a debut.
5.5.5. star, If i can give me it will be Million plus. This book, from the first chapter had me in, until the last, last words from the Author. What she put in this book, and described had me pissed the F-off and I had an episode of Ugly cry moment. I was hurting, chest, wanted to hit something, saying why, even now writing this dayum review I'm crying. i'm hurting, for love lost, for flawless speeches of love, for want more in life, for the love of family. This was Absofuckinly Beautiful. I can't write no more. Or I'll cry again. Cheers, Bravo, Kudos, Magnificent, book 2. Going to book 3.
I have never written a review because NO book has ever prompted me to do so.
I am still in a "what the ______" kinda state. I will not share one detail about this series because it will ruin it for you. READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I have found most books to be predictable yet entertaining. (no offense) HOWEVER I have never read a series like this!!!!! I never understood when people wrote "it was a roller coaster of a ride". NOW I do. This series takes you on the highs and lows and everywhere in between.
IF you have not read this book DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though this isn't the first time I have read this book, it still tore me up. Jade has already gone through so much and I just want to scream at Kira Johns, "Why?"
This second book of the Satan's Rebels MC Series will hook you from the very beginning and keep you on the edge of your seat. I couldn't put it down the first time I read it and I still couldn't this time. It is truly well-written and captivating.
This series is a must read even if MC romances aren't your thing. This series goes beyond what you expect.
Never cried so hard reading a book ever in my life! This was an amazing work from an amazing author! I can't tell you how impressed I was with this story and the development of the characters. This is one of my all time favorite reads and that says a lot since I read all the time.
You can read book 2 without having read book 1 but the first book really sets the scene so I would recommend reading them all in order.
Jade finds love and happiness, her MC family is so loving and that made her strong. Then of course things never stay the same, I loved Viper not so much Shadow her best friend but when tragedy happen to jade he is her friend. The cliffhanger is sad makes you want to see more of jade life, I just hate cliffhangers but great love story!
Oh, Kira Johns.....you killed me with this book! I went through quite a few tissues with this read. Jade has proven to be a very strong woman after all of the pain and loss she has been faced with. I will definitely read the next book to see what happens next with her and Shadow. Great Read!
