Damn, that was a wild ride 💀🌲

The second book in the Cult Boys series tells the story of Forest, baby bird 🥺, and Tucker. Forest returns to his stepbrother, still living with the cult deep in the forest. And since he lost his memory when he left, he slowly starts to rediscover everything… including secrets that were very much better kept hidden 😮‍💨🌳

Logan manages once again to suck you completely into the plot from page one 😤✨ The characters are complex, the relationships are emotional and controversial, and the push and pull between these two was absolutely mesmerising. I could not look away for a single second 🌲🩷

I won't spoil anything — but I will say this: nothing is what it appears to be. Not even close. Be prepared 👀😈

Go read this if you love dark secrets that unravel slowly and devastatingly, a forbidden connection that makes you question everything, and a story that keeps you completely on your toes until the very last page 🌲🔥

Oh you guys are in for a treat! I am still completely blown away by this story. Logan, I did not think you could top Broken Highway (Cult Boys Book 1) which I was completely obsessed with but you did. Now I still love my babies Noah and Seven, but Forest and Tucker🫠🫠. Firstly check the trigger warnings, and tropes. This book is on the darker side and has some..kinks😏😏. I’m not going to get too much into the story, because you NEED to experience the journey Logan takes you on. It starts with Forest being pulled home after 10 years away, and seeing Tucker his stepbrother/BFF and not understanding the pull he has towards him. This story had me on the edge of my seat, through the whole thing. The angst, longing, kinks, mystery, love, and that plot twist!!! Mind fu**ing blown! The ending as well, was just perfect! Thank you @loganriversauthor, for letting me review this. I loved this so much and cannot wait to see what Cult Boys are next🖤
One of my favorite quotes/Scene
He meets my gaze over his shoulder, eyes searching. "Do you feel it, too?"
”Feel what?"
”Do you hear it, whispering through the slate?"
”Hear what?"
”We're two forces of nature, born from different trees. Different roots. But we're stuck together, the vines beneath the dirt tangled and knotted." He turns in a quick circle. "Do you see it, too?"
”See what?" I question, even as my eyes shift down. And I see it. His hard co**—thick like a tree trunk-as he fists it back and forth. It dawns on me that he hasn't been washing himself this whole time. He's been jerking off.

I was lucky to receive a copy of this before it's publishing date,and I must say Logan did not disappoint.

From the moment I start reading to last page, I was on the edge. Not knowing what to expect was definitely a great feeling. Now if you're not a fan of spoilers I would
STRONGLY suggest you stop reading this review. While i'm not telling all the secrets and consider these spoilers "light" some may not.


While both Tucker and Forest are both complicated in there own ways, they have one thing in common and that's their understanding for each other. While Forest has seen the "real world" once he returns to wild he still finds himself trying to decide what is real and what is illusion he father created. Tucker on the other hand eats sleeps and breathes the wilds way of life. Its all he's known to be true, and while his loyalty to wild runs deep, it will never be stronger then his love for Forest. To say Tuckers love for each Forest is boarder line obsessive is putting it lightly. Ten years he waited and never once did he not think Forest would return. Even after everything he learned about his mother's death, he still loved Forest more than anything in the world and tried to protect him.While this story may not be everyone's cup of tea, I truly enjoyed it and this book checks all the boxes for me.

I have once again fallen in love with Logan's characters. I LOVE THEM, YOUR HONOR.

Forest and Tucker - oh, do I have a lot to say about you. Tucker is murderous. He's unintentionally hilarious. He is a c*m artist (it'll make more sense once you read). You cannot help but love him despite his "flaws" (I'd argue they aren't flaws but traits that are a product of his environment). He feels deeply for one person - Forest. He had to see him leave once but will not let him leave again. And despite all Forest has been through, he doesn't want to leave. Not Tucker. Not now that they've figured out this thing between them. And let me talk about Forest while we're on the subject - Forest is our submissive bad ass with a proclivity for tattoos and piercings. He is bratty when he needs to be and will only listen to one man. And you guessed it, that man is Tucker.

This story isn't just about love and romance. It's a whodunit with twists and turns. You never know what to expect and are suprised often. The ending... OH THE ENDING. *chefs kiss*

I cannot rant and rave about Wilde Boys enough. You'll have to read it for yourself to get the full picture. These boys are EVERYTHING and you will not be able to put it down once you pick it up.

Did I mention they're... stepbrothers? ;)

"We're two forces of nature, born from different trees. Different roots. But we're stuck together, the vines beneath the dirt tangled and knotted."

This is not a romantic story,it's a twisted love story.
It's a high-heat MM romance packed with emotion,intrigue,suspense and two broken souls trying to find their way.
I loved the premisse of the story, the twists and turns and the complexity of the characters, the only if is that I felt that left questions unanswered and the end felt rushed ,not giving details because could be spoilers,but if not for that it could be a solid 5 stars.
Even so, I want to read more of this series and recomend.

This book... all the tropes that I LOVE... perfection. I went into this book pretty blind besides the tropes. I was locked in from page one. Is it a cult? Is it entirely psychological? I haven't read something like this in a hot minute where I was guessing the entire book. Truly had no clue where it was going through over 50% of it.

It was captivating, creepy, and all too real. Forest and Tucker are complex. The push and pull had me sat. Tucker is a murderous, but actually funny character. Forest is a black cat who listens to no one... except Tucker 😈

I can't say anything else, except nothing is as it seems. And be prepared for a wild ride.

Side note: The cum play and art in this. 🥵👏🏼

I love everything Logan has written - he does it so well. The series is "Cult Boys" so you know there is a Cult aspect. This one was definitely different. There was so much mystery from the very beginning, but I wanted Forest to find out his answers. Tucker was enigma. I wasn't sure how to feel about him for awhile, but he won me over. Watching the 2 of them figure everything out was a fun ride. I feel like there was so much packed into such a short amount of reading, I wish we'd gotten just a little bit more explanation on some things, but I'm greedy. :) I enjoyed getting to know these guys and seeing how they navigated everything within the cult and without - Tucker was adorable asking what everything was. Also a fun cameo from Noah :) Can't wait to see where Logan takes us next. How many crazy cults can there be? (don't answer LOL)

ARC review/rating: 3.75

I love some raw, gritty, rough and stubborn MMC's. This book had that! I was hoping for some more character development. Tucker & Forest seemed only half built for me. I wanted to know more of what they were feeling.

The plot was good and there was a nice plot twist towards the end. I would have loved more context and story building. Sometimes it took me a bit to settle into the moment. Also, I still have some unanswered questions...why doesn't Forest remember what Tucker does? Were they actually together back then? How did their love story even begin? Without spoiling scenes with his mom, was Tucker actually there or wasn't he?

Over all I enjoyed the Wilde boys I was just hoping for a bit more of their story. Thankful for the opportunity to read the ARC.

[Kristen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book as an ARC and I was very excited to start reading it.

For starters, I read the trigger warnings and was like huh… and that was it 🤣 I very much went into this book blindly and it was a vey interesting yet enjoyable journey.

Although by the time I was 50% into the book, I was very much ready to throw hands with Forest AND Trevor, mainly Forest because dude was NOT using his brain and common sense most and the time and Trevor was just… Trevor. Very hard headed and I wanted to yell at him. (I did in my head)

Oh and the plot twist? Yeah it all made so much sense once you sit back and process everything that has happened so far.

This book was a 4.5 star read for me!

[Amy Watson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was an amazing read. I really enjoyed the dark themes. The mystery of why and who was calling Forest back into the Wildes. And how Forest returned to find answers to the gap in his memories. I admire how, even after all this time, Tucker remained obsessed and cared despite being abandoned. I loved how they supported each other when things got tough and how, when secrets came out, they stood with one another instead of turning against each other. They had been alone for so long, and now that they are together again, nothing and no one can separate them. Not even the strange people haunting them. If you enjoy a good mystery with dark themes, touch him and die, and all the longing you can ask for, then I think you will love their book.

[Dean Noton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tucker and Forest pull you into the world they grew up in. The one that held Tucker there, the one that Forest ran from. The Wild pulled them back.The myths of lore, the seclusion of the community, their trauma bonds but also destroys them.
But their love speaks and rises through the book. The twist in the end could have been explored more, but it doesnt detract from the fact that these men are each other's worlds.
Logan keeps you in suspense, building a world you loose yourself too.

Tucker & Forest 🐦‍⬛🖤

What a crazy, insane, hot AF read. Tucker and Forest are feral, unhinged, and absolutely glorious! Plot was cuckoo bananas. I. Was. Shook. Down with the dark, depraved, spicy, and mysterious? You're gonna love this.

P.S. Noah & Seven (Daddy and Punk, respectively) 🥹. If you haven't read book 1 in the series, Broken Highway, put it on the TBR. Cult Boys are true standalones, so can read in any order.

**ARC for honest review**

[Tami · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was like nothing I've ever read before. Forest runs away from what is called the Wilds and lives a different life till he's called back home. Tucker is his step brother that believes in the magic of the Wilds, while Forest thinks it's all not real. This story had mystery, intrigue, and a perfect amount of spice. I'm keeping this spoiler free so that's all I'm going to say.
