Saint View Blood & Ink #2

Diary of a Biker Queen

Rate this book
Across an ocean, the baby growing inside me starts a deadly Mafia war.

A battle that can’t be survived by all three men I’m falling for.

Dax knows the baby I’m carrying is his, and he’ll burn the world down to keep us both safe. But in the depths of a Scottish castle, a bet is placed on his life and an ultimatum given. Fight or die.

With Lynx as his opponent, and his demons barely kept beneath the surface, there is no winner without losing one of them.

Luca’s father wants my head after finding out I’m not the untouched bride he was promised. And I’m sure Luca is going to let him have it.

Until he utters one sentence that might just save us all.

Or it’ll paint a target on our backs too.

Diary of a Biker Queen is the second book in the Saint View Blood and Ink trilogy and cannot be read as a standalone. Start the series with book 1, Diary of a Mafia Princess. This book contains dark themes that may trigger some readers.

366 pages, Kindle Edition

Ok, this picks up right where book one ends, and our MC’s are in a bit of a pickle…and I am telling you now, you have NO IDEA how that first scene is going to end. 😧👀🔪

I loved this book in audio!!! Nyah, Dax, Luca and Lynx were truly brought to life.

Yes this book is dark but the humor and tension and banter is so good too! I was laughing and blushing and on the edge of my seat. This book also has some really emotional and heartbreaking moments and our 4 MCs definitely have some things to work through.

Andi did a fantastic job as Nyah - she really brought out her strength and fierceness and also her vulnerability. I love how we really see her confidence grow. Lynx is sweet and completely unhinged! Dax finally knows the truth and is so in love with Nyah - but is it enough? and Luca…oh Luca…no spoilers but he continues to surprise me in the best ways.

We get some spicy scenes - one in particular is very memorable. The suspense also really ramps up in this book!

The chapter titles: Chef’s Kiss 💋

And THAT ENDING 👀

🚨🚨🚨 SPOILER WARNING 🚨🚨🚨

If you have NOT read this book yet, please come back after you do because BABYYYY… I have THOUGHTS. 😂

Okay, Elle Thorpe DID IT AGAIN. This book was JUICY. The drama?? The tension?? The secrets?? The betrayal?? My anxiety was WORKING overtime. 😭

We’re picking right back up in the same world, and our girl Nyah is in an absolute MESS. She’s betrothed to Carlos while slowly developing this delicious, slow-burn chemistry with her bodyguard Lynx, AND she has this whole enemies-to-lovers situation with the son of the man she’s promised to, Lucca. Oh, and did I mention she’s PREGNANT?!

And not just pregnant….she’s pregnant by the man she actually fell in love with when she ran away from her father; Dax.
She broke Dax’s heart because she believed leaving him was the only way to keep him safe. Yet he disregards that, and gets himself hired as a Fighter for Nyah’s fiancé Carlos, all to be closer to Nyah. Meanwhile, Dax thinks she lost their baby. And she thinks she lost the baby too… only to find out she’s been carrying his child this whole time.

Meanwhile, Carlos?🚩🚩🚩 GIRL. Human trafficking, drugs, gambling, torture… this man has a whole résumé of evil. And he thinks she’s a virgin because that’s what Nyah’s father essentially SOLD Carlos.

The entire time I’m listening, I’m sitting there like, “MA’AM. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Or GIRLLLL HURRRRY UP!!” 😂 There were definitely moments where I was questioning some of Nyah’s decisions because GIRL, WHAT IS THE PLAN HERE?!

Nyah and Lynx (it was really Lynx’s idea) comes up with a plan to convince everyone that Lucca is the father of her baby. And yes… that plan involves the two of them sleeping together…….For approximately 2.5 seconds, I thought, “Okay! Maybe she can actually pull this off!”

NOPE.

Because the ending??????

THE ENDING!!!!!!! 😭😭😭

This Scottish man shows up with the energy of someone who has been sitting in a dark room collecting everybody’s secrets like Pokémon. 😂 Somehow, he knows EVERYTHING.

And then this man invites EVERYBODY to his house.

The boxer- Dax
The fiancé - Carlos
The son- Lucca
The bodyguard- Lynx
HER.

EVERYBODY. IN. ONE. ROOM.

And proceeds to basically air this woman’s ENTIRE LIFE OUT. 😭😭😭

He knows she’s pregnant.

He has his suspicions about her relationship with the bodyguard.

He knows she slept with Lucca.

In the midst of all this, everyone, including Dax find out he is actually the father of the baby.

AND WHYYYYYY WOULS HE DO THIS?

To anger Carlos yes, but because he apparently wants Nyah too. 😳

I was listening to this like I was personally involved. My anxiety was THROUGH THE ROOF. 😂

And of course, Elle Thorpe delivers when it comes to the spice. 🔥 She knows how to build chemistry and tension, and the spicy scenes absolutely did not disappoint.

I listened to this one on audio, and honestly, it made all the drama even more entertaining because I could just sit there in disbelief while the story kept dropping bomb after bomb.

The ending had me staring into the void like:😱😱

EXCUSE ME?! WE’RE ENDING THE BOOK HERE?!

Because there is NO WAY I’m supposed to be okay after THAT.

Elle Thorpe, respectfully… I need the next book IMMEDIATELY. 😂

Messy? Absolutely.
Dramatic? Extremely.
Spicy? YES MA’AM. 🔥
Stressful? CONSTANTLY.
Did I enjoy every second of it? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY.

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

ELLE THESE CLIFFHANGERS ARE KILLING ME! but also I love them so much. Continuing off of diary of a mafia princess, Nyah has evaded one problem but that opened the door to 163718 more problems. Things are getting relatively quiet but when her men start disappearing one by one it becomes quickly apparent that the time has come to face what’s to come. Nyah does what she thinks she must and then the book ends 🤣 but seriously I listened to this one and it was 🥵 😮 😠 😢 😍. I love Elle’s books so much, the suspense and pacing keeps you just dying to find out what’s coming next and we don’t have to wait long for the conclusion out next month!! 🙌🏼

Diary of a Biker Queen is the second book in Elle Thorpes Saint View Blood and Ink trilogy. This book continues the story of Nyah, Dax, Luca, and Lynx from book 1 and starts off where the first book ended.

Normally in Elle Thorpe's trilogies, the murder victim is revealed fairly early in the plot, however in this series, the reader does not learn who died until well into the second book. I was not only shocked to find out who it was, but honestly really sad at who the author had chosen to kill off. That being said, it was absolutely a brilliant choice as the victim was not even remotely on my list of possible characters to die.

This book, like most of this authors, was fantastic. I found myself surprised multiple times throughout the book at the twists the story took and the choices some of the characters made. While there were a few things that we slightly predictable, overall this book felt not like filler, but truly a continuation of this story. I appreciated the emotions that came through the pages and I cannot wait to listen to the audio as the cast Elle Thorpe has selected is incredible.

Overall, Diary of a Biker Queen not only was enjoyable, but surpassed my expectations. I have been a fan of this author for years, and she just keeps finding new ways to hook me in! The gasps and exclamations that I made throughout the last few chapters even made my husband curious about the story. I am so excited to find out what happens in book 3.

This story, as with all of the others in this authors catalog, contains mature themes and potential triggers. Readers should be 18+ and aware of any sensitive topics prior to diving into the world of Saint View in general.

I received an ARC of this story as a benefit for being a member of the authors Street Team, however the opinions I have expressed are my own fair and honest review.

Diary of a Biker Queen by Elle Thorpe is a dark why choose romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Andi Eloise, Grayson Owens, Stephen Dexter and Ryan Stone. This is the second book in the Saint View Blood and Ink series.

I love Elle's books! She does an amazing job pulling me in from the first chapter. I am loving the chemistry between Nyah, Dax, Luca, and Lynx. I really enjoyed getting all of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I really enjoyed the bonus scene of Kyle, Kiki, Amber, and Herb at the musical festival.

Elle is killing me these amazing cliffhangers that just leave me begging for more. I can't wait for the final book in the series Diary from an Inked Throne to be released on October 15, 2026.

I am so happy that this series was done with a full cast. Andi, Grayson, Stephen, and Ryan did an amazing job on the narration. They all really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this series if you're looking for a dark romance, why choose romance, or romantic suspense.

When you think you know what’s happening, Elle comes and knocks you down a peg.. because seriously, the way my jaw dropped with that cliffhanger!!! This second book had my anxiety through the roof! The whole trip to Scotland, omg, I was gripping my kindle like my life dependent on it, I could not put it down!!! Elle just has a way of gripping my attention like no other author, her characters, the tension, the plot twists, the spice, everything is always on point and this book was no different.
I am already counting the days for book 3 because this cliffhanger seriously destroyed me!!!

After the cliffhanger ending of book 1 I jumped into the second book in this Saint View series. Wooowweee it did not disappoint at all. Devoured in a day. I just don't know how Elle Thorpe manages to do it. The story just pulls you in, Every book has me on the edge of my seat. Drama, heartache, spice , It had me gripped from the minute I started. That ending , each cliffhanger gets worse and worse!! We know of one baddie but if I know anything about these books another one is about to appear in book three and it will blow our minds!!!! Countdowns on for the last in the series.

Book two picks up right where things were left at the end of book one and it’s full of even more twists and turns.

Things between Nyah, Dax, Luca, and Lynx are messy and complicated. Their connections are deepening and things around them are chaos. Each of them are handling everything differently, while also trying to be there for each other, especially the guys trying to be there for Nyah.

This book leaves you with more questions than answers and this one leaves on one major cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see what is going to come next for this group.

If you’re looking for a dark, mafia, why choose romance check this one out, after reading book one.

Uy estuvo muy entretenido, y adictivo! Ese final me dejó super enganchada, aunque ya veía venir lo que ese personaje haría, no me lo imaginé así!! Amé las escenas extras al final y la historia de Scythe y X. Lo unico que no me gustó es que no he visto mucho de los personajes de los otros libros y eso amo ver siempre, en especial X!

Well we pick up we’re Mafia Princess left off and oh boy do we start with a bang….

Another addictive read (when work/life permitted me to read) that just sucks you in and you hate putting it down.

I love Nyah, she’s stronger than she believes she is. And Dax, Lynx and Luca are just perfect! The way they love/want her, the banter between them, and Lynx and Luca 🔥🔥

That ending will have you praying Inked Thrones release date is here already.

Yeeees but also 😫 for ending on another cliffhanger! I’m annoyed because I normally wait til the series is done or almost done so I don’t have to rely on my patience and can jump right in but not so on this occasion and I really am enjoying the series!

These cliffhangers are gonna be the end of me! Elle always knows how to keep you baited while we wait for each new book to release. These boys are full of trouble but man aren't they a fun time to read. I can't recommend anything in the Saint View universe any more than I yell about it. The villains in this round of stories, are some of the absolute worst. Like I thought Caleb was bad? I mean he entirely is but holy hell Luca's dad and uncle? Lawd. I cannot wait to read the last book!

Summary

Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5/5

Spicy rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 4/5

Diabolical cliffhanger 😭 be warned

Elle Thorpe really knows how to throw her characters into absolute chaos, and Diary of a Biker Queen is a great example of this. Picking up where Diary of a Mafia Princess left off, this book dives straight back into the drama surrounding Nyah, Dax, Lynx and Luca, with danger, secrets, complicated relationships and plenty of spice along the way she was even spicier than book 1 👀

I really enjoyed seeing the relationships develop in this one, especially the dynamics between Lynx snd Luca. There’s a lot more emotional depth here, and I loved getting to see the characters deal with everything that’s been thrown at them (from all directions) while trying to figure out what their future looks like as a polyamorous quad.

It was a dramatic, spicy and emotional continuation of the series. The mystery continues and will have you gripped and unable to put the book down and I will add that the audio for this was incredible. Top performances from all the narrators and the added sound effect are so immersive

If you enjoy dark why-choose romance, mafia drama, protective men, high stakes and endings that leave you desperately needing the next book, this series is definitely worth checking out.

Now I just need book three because I NEED ANSWERS!

Honestly not what I was expecting and just a bunch of smut for Nyah. A couple of oh wow moments but then I felt like the cliffhanger left us in a similar position to part I.

Audiobook narrators did a great job! I really like that aspect of this series

I was so looking forward to this instalment of this latest Saint view series. I ate up the first book and couldn’t wait for this one HOWEVER it was nearly a DNF for me. I was really enjoying it but at about 2/3 way through I had enough! Nyah became insufferable to my mind and the 3 guys! Clueless! I mean how did they give up on each other so easily, it was pretty obvious that maybe the 3 mafia enemies they made had something to do with what was happening, yet they barely considered it! I couldn’t find the deep connection between these 3 characters like I did with all the other books in Saint view. I skimmed to the end and once again Nyah making stupid decisions for in my opinion an easier life whilst protesting hatred and independence. The redeeming factor was the chapter when Lynx was taken away in the van as I figured what might be waiting for him and it gave me hope. So I am looking forward to the next book as I know that based on Elle’s previous fantastic books, I will get over my annoyances quickly and all will be resolved! And they’ll all live happily ever after.

Book 2 brings us right into it. So much happens to our foursome! This is definitely a different ride than other SV trilogies. I'm highly enjoying it. We got to see how they walked away from the cliffhanger in book one, but true to Elle form we end on an even more nail-biting cliffy! How's Nyah gonna walk away from this one? And the guys?! Can't wait for the third and final book!

I absolutely LOVED this one! Nyah, Luca, Dax, and Lynx finally give us the payoff we’ve been waiting for, and let me just say… the spice was worth the wait.

There are plenty of cameos from other Saint View characters, which I loved, but you definitely don’t need to have read all of their books to enjoy this one or understand what’s going on.

This book has spice, suspense, angst, possessive bikers, and plenty of emotional chaos—basically everything I want in a romance.

And true to herself, Miss Elle Thorpe was not about to let us have peace. The ending left me absolutely needing the next book. When things start to happen to Lynx, then Dax, then Luca... everyone else seems ready to accept what happened, but Nyah refuses to give up on her guys. At least until that cliffhanger... And Elle? That was RUDE.

If you love why-choose/poly romance, biker romances, suspense, angst, and a healthy dose of spice, add this series to your TBR.

If you thought the cliff hanger at the end of Diary of a Mafia Princess was bad, wait until you get to this one. You are all cosy reading and then bam the books ends! I was like nooo I need more! This author is a work of genius and loves to put her readers through it.

This book begins where the first one finishes, we are in a cold Scottish castle with a man who seems to know everything and the only thing he wants is Nyah. Our foursome now have to find a way out alive! Shockingly, Luca steps up and claims Nyah’s baby is his thus both making an enemy of his father and to the amusement of MacGregor who lets them leave wanting to watch the fallout with glee. However the race is to get back as Luca believes his sister is now in danger. She is hidden but Luca knows his father has ways of finding her. Lynx calls War and the Slayers MC’s save the day.

This stories main focus is on Nyah and her emotional and mental state. She finds herself falling more and more for three men and doesn’t really know how to process it. She has seen her best friend, Violet, handle this type of relationship but she knows she loves Dax and their baby but is not sure if he will accept Lynx and Luca. She battles with her fear of abandonment even though the guys promise her they are not going anywhere until one by one they disappear: Dax leaves a note, Luca is killed and Lynx is arrested and subsequently cannot be contacted.

The guys spend this book working on their relationship. Dax has accepted that Nyah has real feelings for Luca and Lynx and to keep her happy he has welcomed them into their relationship and is shocked he feels no jealousy towards them when they are with Nyah. Luca is struggling to trust given his past but he coming to realise Nyah, Dax and especially Lynx are not like those from his past. Lynx is scarted once his true nature was exposed in Scotland that Nyah and Luca would leave him. He is shocked to find Nyah holds the key to grounding him. When he is arrested for a murder he didn’t commit things start to fall apart. The murderer left Lynx’s calling card. There is someone out to get them and when the guys find themselves all together there is familiar voice they know has set them up.

This book really gets the story moving and as readers we get drawn in to all the characters emotional states and the day-to-day interactions they have with each other. I love how Violet comes to Nyah’s aid when Dax ‘leaves’ even though she is a just as pregnant as Nyah. There is a real sense of family within the Slayers MC whether they are member or not. As we expect there are plenty of spicy scenes and lots of humour. Elle hasn’t developed Luca and Lynx’s relationship in this book but I would believe knowing how she writes, book 3 will contain all the juicy details.

Packed full of love, emotions, spice, tension and betrayals, this is another typical Saint View drama and in true Elle style there is that massive cliff hanger. Just who has kidnapped our guys!!! Hurry up with Diary from an Inked Throne!! So glad these books are released close together.

ARC & ALC Review:

Dear Diary,

After the heart stopping cliffhanger at the end of book one, I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for my ARC of book two. I was pleasantly surprised that the ALC was sent as well. So again, I was allowed to listen to the wonderful narrators while reading along in the book. It enriches the reading experience and have I mentioned that Stephen Dexter's voice is pure sex??

Book two picks up right where book one left off. I truly wasn't sure how our intrepid foursome was going to survive the events in that cold, Scottish castle. But no surprise, and let's face it, this can't be a spoiler because if they died, there would be no need for book three, they do. But they aren't out of danger, not by a long shot.

This story will make you feel all the emotions! You'll laugh, cry, hold your breath, blush at the steamy scenes. An Elle Thorpe Saint View book is an experience, not just a fabulous read. A great deal happens in this middle book, and don't get comfortable with your theories because there are twists you won't see coming at you. There is a heap of character work, but it's still a 50/50 mix of character and action. Oh and did I mention the molten hot spice?

Oh and the cliffhanger? If you thought book one's cliffhanger

The listening experience with the duet, multi-cast narration is just perfect. Andi Eloise embodies Nyah's spirit nicely, Grayson Owens' Luca is perfection, and Ryan Stone's Lynx is all attitude and growl. But it's Stephen Dexter's Dax that makes me go weak in the knees. And I really enjoyed that, for the most part, the characters' voices carried the story and there wasn't an overabundance of ambient sound effects.

In short, I was given the ARC & ALC in exchange for my honest opinion and I can honestly say this book, the entire Saint View series, are pure excellence. This cannot be read as a stand alone; you must read Diary of a Mafia Princess first. Get your copy(s) today!

I need to start with a warning: do not pick this book up unless you have book three within arm's reach. I mean it. Elle Thorpe has always been ruthless with her cliffhangers, but this one is on another level. This is the kind of ending that makes you sit there staring at nothing for a solid minute before the screaming starts.

Diary of a Biker Queen picks up exactly where Diary of a Mafia Princess left off — no breathing room, no recap, just straight into chaos. And it doesn't let up. If book one was about four people circling each other without ever saying what they meant, book two is what happens when the walls come down and every truth they've been avoiding detonates at once.

Nyah is carrying so much in this book — physically and emotionally — and she never once stops fighting. Not for herself, not for her men. Even when every single thing is taken from her, even when the people around her tell her to stop, she refuses to fold. I wanted to wrap her in a blanket and also hand her a weapon.

The men. God, the men. Each of them gets moments in this book that will wreck you in completely different ways. One of them builds something so tender out of nothing that I had to pause the audiobook to sit with it. Another one says something in a bathroom that I'm still not over. And the third one makes a phone call that will rip your chest open when you realize what's actually happening.

Elle Thorpe does something masterful here — she makes you laugh hard enough to forget you're reading a dark romance, and then she pulls the floor out from under you without warning. The tonal shifts are brutal and perfectly timed. There's a moment involving a very unfortunate wardrobe situation that had me cackling, and within chapters I was near tears.

The spice is scorching and emotionally loaded — every scene means something, every scene shifts the dynamic. Nothing is decorative. And the way the four of them finally start building something real, something honest, only for it to be systematically destroyed... Elle Thorpe is not a safe author. She never has been. But this one is personal.

That ending. I can't say anything. I genuinely can't. Just know that I gasped out loud and immediately checked when book three was releasing.

Duet narration is fantastic as always — the full cast of four narrators brings every POV to life and I genuinely cannot imagine experiencing this series any other way.

If you loved Diary of a Mafia Princess, buckle up. Book two earns every star and then takes something from you on the way out.

Tropes: MMFM why-choose · pregnancy · forced proximity · MC/biker romance · morally grey love interests · mafia · serial killer romance · he falls first · touch-her-and-die · dark romance · cliffhanger (you've been warned)

➤ Enemies to Lovers
➤ Book Two (not a standalone)

Diary of a Biker Queen picks up right where we were left at the end of Diary of a Mafia Princess, so we’re on the edge of our seats and then thrown straight back into the action.

We start fast and strong, and that pace just keeps going almost the entire time. There is so much happening in this one, and oh boy, she’s spicy! There are plenty of spicy scenes in this one!

Some of the ‘twists’ I guessed, but others left my jaw on the floor and tears in my eyes.

I actually really like Dax and felt kind of bad for him early on. He is so caring and loving to Nyah, and I would have loved to see more of them. Just when I thought maybe things would turn around… BAM! Then my heart just broke for Dax.

I’ve loved Lynx from the start, who wouldn’t, right? There’s just something so protective and almost ‘cinnamon roll hero’ vibes about him… if you ignore all the murdery stuff that is.

We actually get to see a lot of Nyah, Lynx and Luca this time, which I really enjoyed. I love the relationship dynamics between them and hope to see more, and how things develop.

Now just excuse me for a moment… That cliffhanger!?
So, by now you probably realise you just can’t have a Saint View Series without a cliffhanger. Yeah well this one got me. I knew something was going to happen, just not that!

Audiobook Details

➤ Length: 9hours 43minutes

I listened to this as an advanced copy, but the good news is that it’s out today (September 15th), so no one has to wait!

Once again the audiobook was fantastic. I love the subtle sound effects. This isn’t a fully dramatized audiobook with constant music and sound effects, this audiobook thoughtfully enhances the narration with subtle and strategic sound effects and music that don’t overpower the performances.

Each of the narrators do a great job and deliver very distinct performances that bring the characters personalities to life. All four narrators are incredible, and I am especially enjoying Andi Eloise as Nyah and Ryan Stone as Lynx.

Getting a duet multi cast narration is a true delight.

Review of advance copy

ARC/ALC

You can never go wrong with a saint veiw book or series.

This is book two to the blood and ink series.

I listened too and read the book at the same time which made it more fun for me.

We were left on a hell of a cliff hanger in book one, and as always elle is the QUEEN of cliff hangers cos shit was this one a doozy, also I kinda seen it coming I had a very strong feeling he was behind the going ons that had been happening 😳

This book has alot of smutt in it, I no elles books always do but im guessing horny and pregnant make a great combo specially for nyah hehe

The plot was plotting, but at some points nyah started pissing me off, I understand pregnancy hormones and all that but what happened to her smart bad ass self I felt a little disappointed in her by the end of the book like come on girl u know the mafia world better then anyone u cant be falling for shit that easily, i no she guna be proving me wrong in the 3rd book well I at least hope so cos I want my bad ass girl popping back in.

Anyways back to it lol
Lynx and luca awwwww them two been hot and heavy from book 1, I realllly wana see thise two finally go at it in book 3 cos we only got a little taste of them two in this one, dont judge me you know you wana see them finally go at it too 😆. We wouldn't be reading these books others wise and yall know as well as I do the MM scenes in these are 😋😘

The book is good okay, frustrating but good, i wana give so much away but I wont cos the book releases tomorrow the 15th and then everyone gets to read it and use arnt ready I swear u think u are but nah.

Theres so much going on, so much to process I loved how amazing an supportive dax is of nyah, he loves her so much its so grossly cute haha, I liked that they were all finally finding some form of normality, and getting to know each other.
What broke me most was daxs loss aww my stomach dropped when I read that 😭

Also I duno who to fuckn hate more in this book cos there so many shitty horrible charaters to hate, nyahs parents, Lucas dad and uncle, the arsehole Scottish guy, the corrupt cops.
I duno if caleb will be the most hated charater after this series. I think Lucas uncle might just beat him but thats my opinion we shall see in book 3.

Well, the cliffhanger from book 1 went in a very different direction than the I expected. However, I enjoyed the ride from start to finish. I found myself more invested in this group of characters from Saint View than I have the previous few groups. I enjoyed the chemistry between all these characters as it felt much more organic and fluid.

Dax definitely stole the show with his love and affection towards Nyah. I loved that he told her he would never cage her or her love. Dax will remain in her corner and love her no matter who her heart loves or needs. I appreciated that his connection with Nyah was strong enough to let her have the freedom to choose her life and love how she needs to. Plus, he has a strong friendship with both Luca and Lynx.

I loved that Lynx finally gets to express his feelings and share his big secret. I know he kept living in fear of what he could do in a blackout rage. The book starts with his big reveal, and I appreciated that best friend embraces him and brings him into the Murder Squad. He isn't asked to be something different but given an avenue to keep his darker urges under control and keep him away from prison. I love the murder squad and their version of morals and support. I couldn't help but smile at the gathering, hard to hate extra moments with X.

The real bonus with book 2 was the buildup between Luca and Lynx. These two had the best chemistry since book 1 and I was ready for them to finally combust. It was worth the wait as they had the best banter with a fabulous push and pull. I love how much of a dick Luca tries to be with his attitude and need to keep everyone at arm's length. I loved that Nyah and Lynx won't allow him to keep his distance and keep pushing him. When the three of them got together, my heart was happy.

There is such a great dynamic between this group of characters that I felt a deeper connection to them. I was hooked into the story and kept waiting for the shoe to drop. I knew the cliffhanger would be interesting as I did not believe anything that supposedly happened to each of the guys. I knew something much bigger must be happening. I can't wait to see what will happen in book 3 because that ending had me left questioning everyone.
