They knew she was going to strike back for taking down her empire, for imprisoning her for years. All those years stuck in a cell gave her a lot of time to think, to plot, to plan her revenge. But they couldn't have anticipated this. * This can not be read as a standalone. ** This is also not a romance. This is a dramatic suspense story told from many POVs including old favorites and some new faces, all dealing with the events before, during, and after V's eventual demise.

ITitle: ➳ ❤- The Fall of V
Series ➳ The Henchmen MC Series 13#
Author: ➳ Jessica Gadziala
Publication June 10th 2018
⭐ ⭐ ⭐

ღ Your heart will stop, your heart will be pulled out of your chest from beginning to end of this book.. This was emotional journey


The title should give it away for you! but if not, yes yes we finally get to see the demise of that Psychopath bitched that is V. Please don't judge me for my harsh words if you only knew what this crazy woman did to her own daughter, You’d would understand! And now she wants to do basically the same thing to her granddaughter… let’s just say that V was a soulless, heartless monster & leave at that for now

Fair warning there is no romance to this story! But look there's plenty of love from a whole community of people…The Henchmen, Mallick Brothers, Hailstorm, Rivers Brothers & anyone else you could think of in Navesink Bank Universe

♥❤♥ One of the things that I enjoy the most about this book was that love & loyalty doesn’t only come from blood relatives… it comes from within the heart


Ferryn was never told about her loving caring grandmother yes that's sarcasm. Maybe if Ferryn had Been Fair warned about how that so-called loving grandmother was actually a Human trafficking Kingpin / Queen, and how, she was all around psychopath with no morals


👄😒 I must say I really did not enjoy the ending of this book and I had a feeling that from the previous book it Jessica was leading up to next Generation books

😒Now the reason why I rated this book so low is, cuz according to Navesink Bank Universe reading order (The Rise of Ferryn) that book doesn’t come up for almost 12 more books…. So as you can imagine my surprise when I realize this! let me repeat myself 12 more books until Ferryn’s book WTF … Again, this book was so hard to rate for so many differed factors ….

Now if you aren’t as impatient person as me, then you’ll truly love this book! You can enjoy catching up with everyone, but this story is told from many POVs Reign, Summer, Lo & of course Ferryn …

Just tiny reminder: This cannot be read as a standalone.

Favorite quote from the book

“blood is thicker than water" as follows: "The funny thing is... everyone has that saying wrong. It is actually 'the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,' which is exactly opposite of what everyone thinks. Sharing blood, sharing DNA with someone... it doesn't mean anything. The bonds we form out of love we choose from the people we choose are the strongest bonds..."

⚫On to the next book, I believe Adler (The Henchmen MC Series) is up next in the Navesink Bank Universe


💖 Hope you enjoy this read 💖

⬇Always remember⬇


📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion+ Also I wouldn’t never discourage anyone from reading this book.

Happy Reading --- Enjoy ……. Paulette Alphas Review

As author honestly warned this book is not a romance and contains dark themes.
It’s not a standalone, and is somehow an introduction into the new generation of Henchmen.

Very emotional written. Raw. Dark.

Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers!



My main complain and the reason I didn’t click 5 stars – why didn’t they kill/stop V before? I know they tried and searched for her, but only the kidnapping of Ferryn ended this hell.
If they found V after six days, I think it was possible to do it earlier / before Ferryn was taken?
Imagine how many lives and tortures would have been prevented…

This book is sort of a prequel for another book that comes later in the series.. the rise of Ferryn. It can not be read as a standalone and it is not a romance. It is fucking awesome though... You will have to at least read Reign and Summer's book to make some sense of it.

Why yes, one again, Justice has been served Jessica Gadziala style, as the final curtain comes down on V. There will be no encore performances, no curtain calls and all of her appearances are cancelled. Done. Lights Out. Show’s Over.

The lead up events to THE FALL OF V are brutal and pure evil, but in the end, I heard a choir of munchkins sing as Jessica Gadziala brings home another tale that rocked my world to its knees with her forthright, unapologetic style and keen sense of timing, atmosphere and heroic justice.

I received a complimentary ARC edition from Jessica Gadziala!

**** 4.5 Stars!!!!!****

This was an intense book in the Henchmen series!!! A large part of this story was about, Ferryn... who is the daughter of Reign and Summer.( They were the main couple in the beginning of this series) Ferryn ends up kidnapped, and this is her story of fighting back, and using the tools of all of her Biker family and what they taught her since she was a very young girl growing up in the compound!

If you are looking for a romance story in this particular instalment, you won’t get it. This is dark, suspenseful, and the conquering of a long time villain of the series. I personally think you need to read the other books in the series before you read this one. The history of every single character that comes up in the story is important and makes you that much more invested in all that is going on!

I personally loved this one, even if there wasn’t romance involved. I loved how Ferryn used all the skills she was taught to keep fighting. I very much look forward to her book when it is time to read it in this series!! I was on the edge of my seat for this one... and I have to say that the author’s writing was spectacular in this instalment!!! An amazing read!!!

The Fall of V is the brilliant tale of the demise of one of Navesink Bank's most ruthless villians.

It was an emotional journey of resilience, love, justice, loss, and rebirth.

This story was heart-wrenching and uplifting in equal measure.

I loved how all of our favorite characters had a part in raising Navesink Bank's newest badass. ;)
I loved how all of them were in our herorine's head when she needed strength. Beautiful writing, Jessica Gadziala. Really superb! 👏👏👏

I loved how JG incorporated everyone's different POVs. It packed a solid emotional punch.

I loved how the whole town banded together to get back one of their own.

I loved the way the book demonstrated how differently people react and cope in the face of extreme circumstances.
I loved how the book conveyed there is no right or wrong way to survive. ❤❤❤ I loved how our heroine saved not only herself but others. I loved how she V went down in the most fitting and poetic way.
Love, love, loved it!!!

I loved the new characters. I can't wait to see how they develop and grow.

So to sum it up, I LOVED everything about this book!

This is a must read for anyone who loves the characters in Navesink Bank.

Oh. My. God. Jessica Gadziala is a genius. The Fall of V is indescribable. It's agonizing, terrifying, filthy, desperate and full of rage and pure evil. And even in the face of all that, what shines through is compassion, hope and above all, love.

Spoilers ruin my day, so I won't go into the plot. Suffice it to say this story will blow you away. One thing to leave with you, though, is a passage where Lo talks about a particular mostly misunderstood phrase "blood is thicker than water" as follows: "The funny thing is... everyone has that saying wrong. It is actually 'the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,' which is exactly opposite of what everyone thinks. Sharing blood, sharing DNA with someone... it doesn't mean anything. The bonds we form out of love we choose from the people we choose are the strongest bonds..." This resonates like Samuel L. Jackson's infamous Pulp Fiction Ezekiel 25:17 soliloquy.

My heart is still pounding - this ARC gave me palpitations, yet I could not wait another minute to share how thrilling this book is. I read it cover to cover this evening, as I could not bear to put it down. INCREDIBLE!

THIS IS YOUR TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

This story is one big trigger so please be aware and ask if you have issues with possible triggers.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE

This is a continuation and conclusion of previous stories from this author. It is not a standalone so don't bother reading it if you have not read the previous books. It won't make sense and or you won't get the true understanding behind this story.

This review won't have spoilers of the storyline either. I'm not about to ruin it for others. So if it doesn't make sense... that's to bad. I can't even begin to make sense of what the ever loving fuck I'm feeling after that story anyway. All I know is Jessica is a badass who blew my mind.

I of course like many others no doubt had made predictions on how I thought this story would go on the lead up to its release. Let me tell you that it is nothing like I thought it would be.

This is a dark brutal story by any standards and whilst some things are not as detailed, they are in there all the same. It's harrowing, traumatic, suspenseful and climactic all in one. This is not a romance. This will take you on a rollercoaster. I still have that gut burning bubbling feeling in the pit of my stomach an hour after finishing it.
True to herself this author has delivered a book of brilliance designed to suck the life out of you. It's raw, so very raw you'll almost have to look away yet you can't because you have to know what's happening. It's everything that it should of been and very fitting for the end of that chapter. I can't believe the way it turned out but it's genius! Evil to us as readers because now the wait begins... but absolute genius.

The story is a miss match of mixed POV's from every direction giving you every gritty raw perspective on the current happenings. It answers so many question marks whilst leaving you with new fresh questions. It's brilliance. I felt everything! Connected to every character, felt the pain like I was living the battle with them all. The emotional impact of the story goes so deep it's almost to much.

Yes I am aware that this is vague but this is a story you need to go into with no spoilers. What I will say ... holy mother of life Jessica really did do something amazing here. I'm left rung dry and emotionally exhausted, Book hangovers are real people.

Give me Ferryn's book like yesterday please I NEED it. I NEED THEM ALL!!!!!.

I loved it hard.

End but not

Great read but I really had trouble with Ferryn’s thinking. The end kinda felt rushed with no real explanation. I can see never being a victim again, but she wasn’t she was a survivor and the ones around her helped her survive. I can see going off the deep because she killed someone, but to me that wasn’t the reason. With all their connections I don’t know why they just couldn’t find her. As a mom I felt so bad for Summer and it broke my heart.

I hope there is another because we have a huge hole to fill.

It’s 2:30 am and I am down for the count. Thank goodness for summer!

The day of reckoning has finally come. V – the evil queen of trafficking – is loose and manages to do something everyone has feared.

For every action there is a reaction and that comes in the form of a rebirth for one who got burned by the evil of V and like a phoenix from the ashes something new is born from that destruction.

Its very hard to write a review on this so as not to give away spoilers. What I thought the story was going to be it was not. The author threw a huge curve ball with where she went with this story. It was about so much more than the fall of V. It's almost like a rebirth of the Henchmen series. I absolutely loved it.

I had to read and then re-read to process this book! This is not a standalone or a first in series....this is an epic conclusion to a vile character that has been around since book 1,who I've hated and really wanted to end!This was an introduction,with a standing ovation, to the next generation of the henchmen,this is deserving of a mic drop!This isn't a romance and there were dark moments and some choices i wasn't fond of but it was well worth the wait!While I'm still recovering and contemplating another re-read of the henchmen I'm already excited for the henchmen nextgen! JG never fails to amaze me with her imagination and talent!!



Total sidenote....hopefully Vance stops his manwhoring before I have to read his book 😂

5 Fall of V Stars

The Fall of V is not your typical MC Romance, In face there isn’t much romance in this book. There is love alright, but more so love for family even those that are not blood related but still very much people you call family.

The fall of V has just enough dark and is one hell of a ride. I can’t say much more as I really don’t want to give anything away. One thing I will say is you really need to be caught up on the henchmen series to thoroughly enjoy reading this book. I’d love to see a spin off from this book, I know Jess has mad skills when it comes to this universe so you never know what might come next….

This book. This book y'all...it may be one of the best books Jessica has ever written. For me I have many reasons why I think this. One, It didn't go down the way I & probably many other readers are thinking it was going to go down. Two, it brings back all of our favorite characters & gives us a glimpse of whats been going on in their lives & how things have changed for them. Third & my favorite reason for why this book is the best 😊 is because I felt the emotions of each character I read & felt the pain, the worry & the anger. I mean that letter from a certain person at the end of the book had my eyes threatening to spills some tears!
Now if you are reading this book then hopefully you've been invested in the Henchmen series and rooting for their HEA & if you haven't read the Henchmen then DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!!!! 🛑 Anyways where i was going with that is this book is sort of a closure type story because we know the big bad that started it all, V, is going down. We know this but we just dont know how. 🤔 I dont really want to give to much away but I will say this....the fall of V happens & even though she goes down she still takes something precious with her & its something that is precious to both Henchmen & Hailstorm.
Now that ive read this book I am so ready to see what the future holds for everyone & how everything is going to play out! Im really curious about Vance & can't wait to see his story unfold. 😊

This book is going to take you for a ride so hold on & make sure you have a few tissues on hand. 🖤🖤

I don't even know how to begin with this review ... WOW!!! That book explodes from the first page and doesn’t even stop until the last page. The last sentence leaves you with an open mouth and just stunned.
Jessica has definitely managed to create a book with enough tension, stress and excitement for 10 books in one. Yes, the boom and killing is there like in all Henchmen books, but a little bit different. And they are all there. All the Henchmen men are in this one book. Not directly but they are. Unbelievable, it's amazing to hear about them all again.
No spoilers, sorry 😁.
You have to read it for yourself.  Really, it's a must read for all MC lovers.
It's a crazy read that's ends with a need for much much more 😍

o I’m loving this series and I was really looking forward to witnessing the end of V. And it started so well and had so much potential but… I just didn’t really like it. I found myself skimming a lot of the inner monologues.

It was a difficult read but I knew it would be going in. I can’t say why I didn’t like it apart from the end.
And how long do we have to wait for Ferryn’s book?
Too long is how long.

Wow. This is the book we have all been waiting for. We get to see the end of the vicious bitch that is V and get to hear from a lot of our old favorites. This book is told in the view point of many different characters like Summer, Reign, Lo and Summer and Reign's oldest, Ferryn.
We get to see Ferryn as a teenager. Feel the love between family-blood family and chosen family. We get to see the determination and fight in an unexpected person and learn of a new bad ass being born.
This story keeps you guessing and wanting. It's full of surprises and a lot of OH MY GOD moments. It's also the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, one that I can't wait to discover.

Heart stopping, but wrenching, edge of your seat book! I don't even have the words for this story. Everyone who has taken this journey with the Henchmen MC has been waiting for this day. The fallout is not what we were expecting though. I am utterly speechless. Bravo Jessica.

Wow! Finally we get to see V go down and a new bass ass born. This book was packed with action, by far the darkest book. I’m glad to see her out of the series. Sex trafficking is a dark and horrible thing but Jessica’s writing was amazing. Just enough dark for me. That’s all I can say without giving anymore away. Great job Jessica! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm amazed by this story but also conflicted in how I feel. I finished the book hours ago but had to take sometime to myself after to reflect on how I really felt.
Did I love the book? Yes!
Did I want to scream with angry tears? Yes!
Did I understand why things are the way they are? No, not really.... and I'm okay with that it's life. These may be fictional characters but being in their heads make them so real and understanding humans is a challenge.

If you think you are getting just a conclusion then think again.
The emotions thru this book will leave you heart broken in more ways than one, angry and have no one to take it out on but also feeling empowered to do more and be a voice for those who can't.

I promise you will have a horrible book hangover and I think it will be there for years.

Damn this book blew my mind!😬 This book is everything I have waited on and didn't even know I need when it comes to V. It is so beautiful to see such strength and resilience come from such evil. No matter what evil we faced in this book ( and I do mean evil, vile, dark soul's) The strength and light and the good really prevailed. I highly recommend this to all the Henchmen fans. Jessica doesn't not disappoint in the demise of the evil, heartless V. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 + read for me👏👏

"4 The Bitch Fell Down Stars"

This book was W.O.W!!!

I couldn't get enough of what was going on! Damn it, it was a dark book and I was sweating to see what the hell was going to happen! I really enjoyed this one! My only mehh part of the book was what happened with Ferryn, I mean I get what happened was a life changing moment but I was hoping for a complete HEA, if that make any sense! I can't say much! Anyway I was happy for Cash and Lo, they deserved it! And I can't wait to see what's coming next, because a lot are going to happen!!!!

I really enjoyed that! It leads us nicely into a couple of new books, which is awesome! But, not going to lie, it wasn't one of JG's 5 star reads. We needed it to move forward though and it's been a fab afternoon in the sun reading it!
So, win/win really! :)

From the very beginning you are grabbed in and you aren't released until the end!!! And just when you think you know what's going to happen next you're wrong! Jessica Gadziala covered different POV in this book and was able to stay true to each one in a way that you are enthralledand captivated. I was left speechless in the end and ready to read again because it was that amazing!!! JG truly outdid herself!

Wow wow wow. This book was the climax we had all been waiting for when it comes to V. There isn’t much I can say without giving key details away, but what I will say is hold on because this book takes you on the ride of your life. The entire book had me on the edge of my seat, but that ending? The ending of this book had me like 😱😱 and looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Wow!

OMG! WOW! This book is everything you've been waiting for but nothing like you expected! I read it too fast I couldn't put it down I should have read it slower but my emotions were all over the place. Each point of view made you feel more and more. Outrage, anger, tears. You can literally feel Ferryn's determination dripping off of the pages. To say that I can't wait for the next book is an understatement! Officially mindbown!

Holy.....

So I really want to dislike this book. Here is why: If you are looking for a Jessica Gadziala book like the ones you have read with a definitive HEA ending and sexy bad boy love scenes this ain’t it! If your trying to catch a read without having the rest of the series under your belt turn back now and start at book 1 with Reign.

Now if your looking for a action/suspense/thriller with great characters, strong female roles, plot development that makes you tear through a book faster than a buffet on your cheat day than this is it. Again if your new to JG world start with book 1 Reign and come back.

Disclaimer: do not proceed if you don’t want to know deets about this book in any minor capacity.

I read this book at warp speed with no disappointment to be found. Ok lie, disappointment showed it’s self at the end when I voraciously consumed this book with a cliff hanger bigger than the Grand Canyon left me reeling. I flipped the pages like a few more swipes on my kindle would magically place more pages there for me to see what happens next! Talk about suspense!

No steamy sex scenes to be found and the way the book progressed I didn’t miss it one bit. Honestly if romance wasn’t something I came to know JG for I wouldn’t have been the wiser, strong female leads, plot development and overall concept and tone made you hooked.

So glad the title didn’t disappoint on closing one chapter in a saga, just wasn’t prepared for the giant mind bender at the end. I’ll be surely anxiously and impatiently awaiting the conclusion to Feryn’s story.

This was darker than any of the other Henchmen books, but it was really, really well done. I was worried because I had been waiting for so long to read this, I was afraid it was going to be a let down.

It was NOT. And now the next generation is set to begin. Great book, great ending to one of the most despised villains in the history of MC books and I was really, really happy I read it.
