Will Logan and Luke Warren are still running, with no refuge in sight. After stopping in Tennessee to meet up with teammates Ron Perry and Jake Wilson, they head for Atlanta, to rendezvous with the remaining member of their team, Todd Jackson. Kowalski told Logan he murdered Jackson, but Logan knows all too well how hard it is to kill any of them now. He’s hopeful that Jackson survived and is waiting to meet them. Once they arrive in the city, they find Jackson easily enough. They soon discover, however, that he’s involved in a strange and savage situation, a member of a vicious fight club in the basement of an Atlanta club. When he tells Logan he’s in trouble and can’t extricate himself, Logan finds an oppressive atmosphere of evil in the club, seeming to center around the club’s owner, a charismatic man named Austell. Logan is disgusted by the illegal fighting, but Luke and the others are all inexplicably drawn to it. Something or someone is influencing the men, infusing them with violence and cruelty. A chain of events begins to unfold that will test Logan and Luke’s bond to the breaking point. Logan’s life is turned upside down as he has to fight for the lives of his friends and the man he can’t live without. When they're kidnapped, and everything Logan holds dear is in deadly danger, will he be strong enough to save them all?

In this book, the second in a three part series, new clues and revelations emerge as to what happened to Logan and his friends in book 1, Origins, Gods of War, to change their lives. They face a new and savage threat to their safety, and receive intervention from Heaven itself? Or could it be Hell?

Luke and Logan are waiting for the rest of their crew, but will they find betrayal instead?

Dread is second in Shannon West’s Gods of War series. You definitely need to read this story in chronological order.

Luke and Logan are navigating not only their growing feelings but also their new powers. Neither understands what has happened but they are determined to find out. I love that Ms. West allowed these two men the opportunity to find love under these conditions. They went from hate to love even as they are also fighting for their lives. I thought Ms. West did a wonderful job showing us the push/pull between the changes in their relationship as well as the changes to their very DNA.

Ms. West gave us a well-written story with battles that were anything but subtle. Good versus evil, love versus hate, and right versus wrong. Who wins? Who loses?

Ms. West keeps us guessing. And I hope she will continue this saga as the men learn to master and live with the changes within and without.

Why yes, I did read the sequel. Not as good as the first. Too much insecurity, Logan just yells at everyone all the time, characters aren't great, and around halfway through the book a ton of things come out of left field. The twist, I guess you could call it, left me a bit dazed.

I really enjoyed this series...

It was a very exciting and interesting read. You can see how much Logan really loved and cared for Luke, he was very, very protective. It was also, nice to read about the other team, who escaped along with them from Mexico. I was glad that they finally met up with each other, even though they had to go through a lot. Now, I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Luke and Logan are in Atlanta, hoping Jackson is waiting for them. They meet Perry and Jake along the way. The men find Jackson in a strange situation, life threatening even.

I like these characters. Their differences actually make them stronger. Luke is a better man with Logan in his life. The baddie is very aptly named. Looking forward to the conclusion of their story in the final book.

Well... I'm so totally sure it's just me... But I couldn't get into this one. Really liked the first book, but I just couldn't get into the fight scenes.
