Ravage: Golden Skulls MC

Rate this book
In the darkest of nights, I am there… waiting. ~ Ravage

They call me Ravage, and for good reason.
I’m a force of lethal, unyielding, and uncontrollable.
I am the whisper in the wind, the darkness that suffocates, the violence they all fear.
I am the secret kept hidden.

My childhood was a nightmare of blood, betrayal, and unspeakable abuse.
It honed me into the man I am today, but the rot never left me—instead, it became my armor.
A life built in violence, blood and darkness—shaped by others, all under the guise of protection.
I was untouchable.

Until I saw her.
Her scars matched my own.
She’s the light I never thought I’d deserve.
The only person who sees the real me, the man beneath the scars.

Together, we’re a storm of trauma and rage, fighting for survival in a world that wants us dead or destroyed. Every enemy who comes for her will learn what genuine fear is—because I am the darkness, and I won’t lose what’s mine. I am the line between justice and revenge, and the mountains will run red before I let them take her.

I am Ravage.

Trigger This novel contains graphic violence, abuse, and mature themes. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

My Thoughts 💭

Okay I'm just going to say it once again this woman left me needing a therapist might I say even needing a drink.

Now you all are probably wondering whoa there that's a little absurd, no Rebecca wrote this book she was pure genius and when I say that I don't mean it lightly the woman made such a broken distorted man who against all odds and all the crap and vile cruelty that came towards him. he still turned out to be a decent guy when it comes to his woman, the way that he shows her compassion and the way that he is so set on giving her everything and only being kind and gentle for her is astounding.

Now our leading FMC she has had crap thrown at her left and right and unspeakable things done to her and I truly believe that these two people will put together to not only heal from the trauma they both have had done to them but also because they are kindred spirits that mesh well together and also they speak each other's language.

Now for the nitty gritty let's get into it the spice in the book is about a two because the spice is not the forefront of the book. The plot is and to understand these characters and to understand this series that's what needs to be at the forefront so it was done exceptionally.

Now with that being said our FMC in spite of everything she's gone through wanted it hot and heavy in the bedroom.

Also the amount of times I was left shocked in this book should have a Grammy award right then and there because not once not twice not even dare I say three times this woman literally was dropping truth bombs and bring characters back I didn't even know was possible.

Need this to say the end of the book leaves you in a what the f moment because I couldn't handle it I straight up was like oh my goodness that can't be the end and it leaves you wanting so much but it also has you so excited for the anticipation of the next book.

As always trigger warnings are an absolute must if you don't read them it is your own fault for not doing the research!!!

Ravage — Golden Skulls MC (Rebecca Joyce)

“Ravage” is another intense, gritty, and emotional roller-coaster from Rebecca Joyce — absolutely true to her writing style and the world she’s built. This book digs deep into the darker corners of the Golden Skulls MC, revealing long-kept secrets and connections that make everything feel even more twisted and layered.

Trigger warnings: sexual assault, gang rape, abuse, and violence are present throughout the story. Joyce doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, so readers should go in prepared.

Ravage and Karlyn spend most of this installment on the run, and watching Ravage do what he does best — track, hunt, and protect the people he loves — reminds you exactly why he’s such a compelling character. Their relationship is raw, messy, and rooted in survival, but there are also powerful moments of loyalty and unexpected tenderness.

I also loved seeing familiar faces like Reaper, Montana, and other favorites woven naturally into the story. The MC family dynamic continues to feel lived-in and real, which is something Rebecca Joyce excels at.

Be prepared: this book does end on a cliffhanger — but that thread is brilliantly “resolved” in Ann Silver’s King from the Silver Shadows MC. Both authors continue to write seamlessly across their interconnected series, and it’s honestly amazing how well their worlds blend together.

If you love dark MC romance, high-stakes secrets, and characters who will burn the world down to protect their own, “Ravage” is a must-read.

Ravage by Rebecca Joyce is a raw, emotionally charged novel that doesn’t shy away from the darker edges of human experience. Joyce’s writing is sharp and immersive, pulling you straight into a world where survival, trauma, and resilience constantly collide. The atmosphere is intense from the very beginning, and she maintains that tension flawlessly throughout the story.

As with all of her books, I was left desperately waiting for the next installment and once again, she did not disappoint. I absolutely loved the romance between him and Karlyn and the way their story unfolded. Their relationship felt earned, emotional, and deeply satisfying. While some chapters are finally closed, we’re left with even more questions about the other characters, which only adds to the anticipation.

This book leads directly into King by Ann Silver, and if you’ve been following the series from the start, you already know this is the one we’ve been waiting for. We knew the ending was going to be heartbreaking, but even so, it still hits hard. After Ravage, I genuinely can’t imagine how devastating King’s story is going to be.

Ravage is not a light read. Some scenes are uncomfortable and may be triggering for some readers, but they serve an important purpose in telling a story about endurance and the true cost of survival. If you enjoy dark, character driven fiction that stays with you long after the final page, this book is absolutely worth picking up.

OMG OMG OMFG 😮😳🤯 I’m truly at a loss for words. This read is about Ravage a man tormented by the monster he becomes, from surviving his younger years protecting himself and his sister from the most egregious, gruesome of monsters, becoming a brother in the Golden Skulls MC gives him family and a small semblance of sanity. It’s about Karlyn another tortured soul, although she survived her former tormentors they live in her mind, just another form of torture. Secrets uncovered, wars fought, chaos surrounding all the MCs. This book is an absolute must read, my heart is in tatters needing vengeance and resolution. With Rebecca’s depth in her expressive writing and her descriptive words she takes you on a journey with the two main characters featured within these pages and makes you feel every emotion, every heartache, every action taken and the ending OMG 🫢 I can’t even imagine, just read the book. 100% recommend this book and series to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed, you will be thoroughly entertained 😎🖤

4.5⭐️ Ravage was such a complex character. He started life off in a way that no child should have to experience. He was strong, a force to be reckoned with but he was also caring. He had this unbelievable connection to Karlyn from the very beginning. As heartbreaking as this story was, if Jackson and Karlyn didn’t get the rotten hand they were given they wouldn’t have found each other. They really had such a strong connection even if it didn’t start off that way. Jackson is a protector by nature and he took that job very seriously. He did everything he could to keep Karlyn safe. He taught her how to survive and listen to the clues that nature gives you.

From the very first page I felt the pain that Ravage had experienced. This book is a very difficult read but so worth it. Some of the CW were a bit out of my comfort level but I went into this book with an open mind. So glad that I did. Of course in true RJ fashion there is a mother of a cliffhanger the end but the conclusion to this story arc will be in Ann Silver’s book King.

WOW again Rebecca Joyce has blown my mind! 🤯 You have to love Ravage. Quiet but fun and dangerous character that's been woven through this series gets his own book. Ravage's past is revealed to us and it's tutored and twisted. Karlyn's past is brutal and Ravage was by her side while in a coma (where she heard all he said while sitting by her bed). She deals with the mental issues of her past while clinging to Ravage and all he taught her to be able to stay safe.
Ravage struggles with his need to keep her safe. he needs to find a serial killer, keep them both safe and watch out as skeltons start dropping from the closet!
Of course we get to hear from Reaper and Montana (always a plus)
*Warning the cliff hanger on this one will get you.

Wow!
I don't really have words here. Ravage's story is one that avid Rebecca Joyce fans have been waiting for for a good long while. His back ground has been shaded in mystery but is know laid bare for all and their is a price on his head.
This guy is the boogie man in the dark with a smiling happy polite southern boy demeanour that will turn around and take your head off if necessary.
His softness with Karlyn is perfect and I love these two together.
And I have to repeat myself here. The tangled webs that this author weaves along with her co-conspirator Ann Silver are amazing. Ï can only ask where to next?..

Secrets coming forward

When I started reading Rebbeca Joyce series she had me hooked. Hanging on the edge of my chair to see what new secret would be revealed.
What these men and women endure to survive was unbelievable.
Ravage and his woman's story was so powerful, full off new information, enemies and King. Wow just wow. To make sure I know the ending to Ravage story i am now starting with Ann Silver stories on Kings Mc. If you have not read the Golden Skulls and the stories of their enemies and friends then you are missing out. When you think you have it figured out Bam new info.

God D@!* F@*! Rebecca!!! Every single book gets better and better. So much information was given and but lord have mercy did you have do us like that on the ending 😮‍💨. Every single one of these books shows what any amazing author Rebecca is how she pulls you in and makes you feel all the feels and it’s like you are actually living the moment with them every step of the way. I’m so happy I’ve found this series along the way even though it’s wrecked me in the process!

Have been waiting for this book for a while now and she did not disappoint.

Loved every minute of it, can’t wait for the conclusion and glad the waits not to long for Ann’s book King

Deep breaths needed! Oh my goodness, I loved Ravage, he and Karlyn, went through hell, how they were even still able to function was amazing. They knew the importance of being together and boy wasn’t Ravage protective of her. The ending was such a cliffhanger thank goodness I could read King straight after!

Another story with lots of twists, turns and what did I just read. When I first discovered Rebecca Joyce 2 years ago I had no idea what I was getting into but what a ride it's been always on the edge of my seat waiting for her next explosive story to hit my Kindle. Loved Ravage and can't wait for the rest of his story and what Rebecca has coming to our reading devices next

What an amazing story of hope, trauma, resilience and finding your one love. This story answered questions but once again bought up more new information that I want the answer to as well. Ravage's story left off with a huge cliffhanger that I'm impatiently waiting to read.

Jackson "RAVAGE" Williams
The Golden Skulls MC

ARC REVIEW IN MY OWN THOUGHTS & OPINIONS
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


WOW! This book is incredibly intense... I might need some serious couch therapy to unwind and fill the time until Ann Silver’s King comes out..... I NEED MORE ANSWERS LADIES!

After 55 books yes, 55, spanning multiple series and universes, at last, in book 56, we finally receive the long-awaited story of Jackson "RAVAGE" Williams.

Let me just say—it was completely worth the wait, along with all the subtle hints dropped throughout the series.
The true love between Jackson and Karlyn is a powerful testament in itself. It jumps off the pge and touches your soul.
From the very start in the prologue to the final page, their journey is a blend of light and darkness. Ravage embodies the complex “gray area” that some must navigate to protect the people they love.
Despite everything Ravage has faced, things that could have left him consumed by darkness, he was instead shaped by FIRE, standing as a shield for those dear to him, defending the vulnerable and fighting the evils in the world.

Witnessing Karlyn emerge as a whole and healthy as a person can be after enduring so much was truly beautiful. I caught a hint of Kitty’s spirit in her soul through the truths she unveiled and the characters we thought were gone but never forgotten.

Visiting Lawton, Oklahoma, was a real twist I didn't see coming—I'm a huge fan of the Diamondback MC and can’t wait to see where their story goes next. That group is definitely intriguing with tensions developing within.....

In classic Rebecca Joyce style, the book concludes on a cliffhanger... now all I can do is wait for King by Ann Silver. She’s teamed up with Joyce, and hopefully brought along a few extra couches for us to recover on. Fingers crossed we get a glimpse of Karlyn in King’s story, perhaps as a steadfast support for Grace...

OMFG HOLY WOW!! Rebecca has out done herself with this book. What an amazing read! The book keeps you captivated and you dont want to put it down. Its filled with secrets and truth that are mind blowing. It is also filled with sorrow and destruction. Before reading this book please read Trigger Warnings as this book has a few. Rebecca always lists her trigger warning at the beginning of the book for the readers. If you are an avid Golden Skull Series reader then you know what most of those trigger warning are.

You have Ravage who from a young age had to deal with pure evil. It was up to him to protect his sister as well as himself. He would stop at nothing to protect those he loves and considers family.

Karlyn lived through Hell and has the scars to show for it. When rescued she spent a year in a coma but her ine saving grace was Ravage. She finally had her family again even though she was struggling and couldn't tell them the truth.

The evil in the world was out to take out Ravage and Karlyn but Ravage will stop at nothing to protect her. While trying to get some answers Ravage comes across more then he can fathom and he learns some hard truth about why everything is happening. Secrets can't stay secret for long.

Will Karlyn and Ravage be able to come out the other side intact? We won't find that conclusion until we read King by Ann Silver. Rebecca and Ann both have a reading order on thier websites. This book and King definitely need to be read together.

Oh Ravage! You did not disappoint!! Ravage's back story is one of pain and horror. It left deep scars, both physically and emotionally. But it also shaped him into the man and protector his is today. He saved Karlyn once, and swore he would always protect her. When the past rises up, as it always does, both Ravage and Karlyn are in the crosshairs. Can he protect her when they are both being hunted? Ride along with Ravage and Karlyn as they try to piece together who is friend and who is foe. Who is an ally, and who is a traitor. Settle in for the angst, and the numerous twists and turns their story takes. And of course, the skeletons are falling out of all the closets! And some of them are even walking and talking! We see some old friends, and in true Rebecca Joyce style, we get some hair raising shocks! Grab your drink and some snacks, curl up with your favorite fuzzy blanket and settle in for one hell of a ride!! This book left me breathless and on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one.

OMG this book is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s definitely best to read these books in order, BUT this one ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to be read before Ann Silvers book ‘King’ which happens at the same time 😜😜😜

Ravage had learnt from an early age what evil is out there and he will do ANYTHING to protect what’s ‘his’

Karlyn, has had so much ‘bad’ happen to her that she now only feels safe when in Ravage’s presence……

This book is told from many POV and the interconnecting members from other clubs make this such an amazing read!!!!

Secrets will be revealed, extended ‘kinship’ will be found out AND justice ‘could’ be served to those who need to be condemned 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

And be warned………CLIFFY 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

A MUST READ NOW 😜😉😮‍💨🥵

I don't even know where to start! This freakin book is absolutely FANTASTIC! I'm talking edge of your seat, nail biting, dont blink, fantastic! Holy Hades what these characters survive is so heartbreaking and tragic! I'm very rarely left at a loss for words and this author has managed to do just that!!!!! What a story! A huge rollercoaster of emotions and every single one of them is felt as if I were a part of the journey. Ravage is a fantastic combination of the Golden Skulls MC and the Silver Shadows. I can't wait for King!

OMFG…… holy Fire balls I am Speechless!!!!!! This book is off the charts packed with twists, turns and chaos. My heart about fell out of me with what Ravage and Karlynn go through. They need each other as much as they need air to breathe. This is one hell of a book and if you haven’t read anything by Rebecca Joyce, you need to start. Ravage is off the charts 100 stars and I’m on the end of my seat waiting for King to find out what happens! What diabolical minds Rebecca and Ann have. I absolutely love how they weave their series together. This is an excellent example of collaboration and a must read!

Ravage had a traumatic childhood, he learned very early the deadly skills needed to protect himself and his sister. Now he is a lethal Enforcer for the Golden Skulls MC and he will stop at nothing to protect Karlyn.

Karlyn is fleeing the ghosts of her ordeal and her childhood, but she is being hunted by more than one monster.

Secrets, betrayals, pure evil and malice are crawling out of the woodwork to wreak havoc and malevolence.

I was gripped from the very first page, it’s dark and gritty with an ending that has left me on edge and desperate to pick up the story with Ann Silver's Silver Shadows MC, King next.

I really enjoyed this story!
I've been wanting to know Ravages background for a long time. It's so heartbreaking but it's shaped him into the person he is. Karlyn also had a very heartbreaking background story. But these two were exactly what each other needed. Ravage is rough on the outside but when it comes to Karlyn he's so gentle and kind.
We get to see some of the other characters and MCs in this book, secrets revealed and more questions! The Reaper and Montana banter is on point as always!
I can't wait to see what comes next for everyone!

Omg. I don’t even have the words. Just wow. This book. Ravage and Karlyn’s story is so powerful, brutal, beautiful,heartbreaking and full of love. Secrets are revealed,it has you on the edge of your seat,so many different emotions,twists, turns,carnage it’s all here. Everything you would expect from a Rebecca Joyce book and more,the fact that it ends on a cliffhanger just gives you more time to recover from the book hangover this one will give you, the best kind of book hangover and it makes you want the next book so much more. Highly recommend this author and her magnificent world to everyone ❤️🖤

OMG Rebecca Joyce you did it. There are possible triggers in this book. Make sure you read the list.

Make sure you listen to the forest. it will tell you everything that you need to know. Karlyn knew the only way to survive was to listen to the forest. Ravage taught her that. Ravage learned that the hard way.

Neither Karlyn or Ravage have had a easy live. It has been hard and unforgiving. Now that they are fighting for their lives can they protect each other? Good read
