Outlaw Biker Brotherhood #2
Devil's Ink: Hell Wolves MC
She was never meant to be in my world. But now that she is, I can’t let her go.
Our enemies have gone too far.
When I find Marissa with their insignia branded into her leg…
I lose my mind.
This is my town.
Hell Wolves MC territory.
No one lays a hand on civilian women and lives to tell about it.
And breaking that rule means war.
But while I go head-to-head with the monsters who did this, I’ve got to keep Marissa safe.
Not just from the beasts who burned her.
But also from the beast within me.
Because she’s getting too close for comfort.
And one wrong move could ruin everything.
A loner biker becomes an innocent girl’s only protection when she is marked for death by a vicious motorcycle club. Marissa never asked for any of this, but when Hunter saves her from a gruesome fate, she finds herself in the middle of a war that threatens to destroy everything she’s ever known. Can their fragile bond survive a monster’s rage?
Find out in DEVIL’S INK.

Even though this is technically part of a series, it can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. The only two things that connect these in any way is they are both authored by Naomi West and they feature a story about a MC. Otherwise there are no connections - no reoccurring characters, no common themes, no references to anything from the previous story and it is authored about a different MC on the other side of the country.
** There are scenes that will be difficult for sensitive readers, high-level examples are listed below. **
Overall, the characters, plot and storyline are solid and comprehensive. There are a few transitions between scenes and/or topics that could be a little smoother, but the difference between the quality of writing between this story and the first one is very noticeable, in a good way.
There are a few grammatical issues, but the issue I pointed out with common spellings / terms known to US readers were fixed in this story for the most part. The errors found include missing words, extra inserted words and incorrect word choice. I mention these for readers such as myself that visualize the story as it is read, because errors interrupt the flow.

I really wanted to like this book but I have to be honest here when I admit that it was a struggle. It had the potential to be so much more. The parts of the story were intriguing, such as the mystery surrounding why this all was happening and the purpose of the brand. However, the story lacked the fluidity or cohesiveness to make sense. There were huge parts missing. It jumped around. I just wanted more.
I appreciate this author and her valiant attempt but this didn't work for me as much as I wanted it.

Lost in Descriptions
Still a good book, as I love Naomi West, BUT I really struggled with this one. It was overly descriptive. I felt like I was in a High school creative writing class. I started skipping through because it got too crazy with it.

Meh
The story like is decent. But seriously how did the rest of the gang know someone had been branded? That doesn’t make sense. No while the story is good the sex scenes are not. It my be a preference thing, but I don’t think so. I read books with alpha males in them all the time and don’t mind them but this is just weird. So as I said, it may be a preference thing but it was weird for me.

This is a good, short read.

Nope!
This was an insta-love trope story which is not my favorite at all. It got redundant in the middle so I skipped parts. Not impressed with this offering by this author. This will be a one and done for me.

I liked the novel and the plot, but had trouble making sense of it because of all the mistakes.. When things do not make any sense" it takes more time to read it let alone take it in what your actually reading!

Hardcore.
That’s what Naomi gave us here. Hardcore outlaw bikers. This book had all we could want and more in a MC romance. Alpha biker that falls fast and hard. Then he has to race against time and Killer to save his heart. Great book.

Ok
This book was ok. To me the writing just didn't flow very well. I liked the characters, but parts of the story we kind of unbelievable. Could have been much better.

It was a good book. Hunter knew what he wanted and protected it from harm, good man. Marissa didn't walk away after everything that happened and that takes guts, I liked her

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Marissa and Hunter. Marissa had no plans on coming back to the small town she grew up in once she headed off for college. She is back though and not for the reason she wanted to be she got because her mom passed and she had to figure it all out now herself. One night of letting lose and not having to deal with the pain that comes with the loss of a parent. However she finds herself in more trouble than she planned. When her friend Angela suggests that they go to a bar she didn't plan on drinking more but a few comments from someone she would rather avoid start her drinking all over again. Hunter can't believe that not only is a rival club starting trouble in their town they have attacked their pres as well in broad daylight. He has no problem extracting revenge and showing them who rules this town. When they get to the bar they run the find something they never planned on though. Will they all get what they want in the end or will the fight make them lose more than they ever planned on?
This is another amazing hit by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about (oh you don't know how bad I want to tell you). However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will grab you hold you and emotionally take you through a ringer before it is done. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

This wasn't the story I was looking for, but that didn't make it bad. This is a very action packed story with a focus on the conflict going on in the story more so than the romance.
Marissa was not my favorite character in the world if I'm being completely honest. She seemed very irrational at some times and I completely understand some of her reactions given the stress she goes through in regard to the conflict. However, some of the decisions she made were just too stupid for me.
Furthermore, we don't get a lot of background in regard to the bad guys. We know they're bad, but we don't know all of the details of what they actually do or how they ended up in the same place as the MC's. A little more dialogue between the bad guys and Hunter would have helped out a lot.
All in all, 2 stars. I recommend it if you're looking for something different in the biker romance genre.

Found this a difficult book to really get excited about.
Hunter is VP of the MC called Devil's Ink. They go to war with a rival MC who want to take over their town. Marissa is home to settle her mother's affairs.
Marissa goes out to a club, gets branded, drugged and almost raped. This is where I have trouble with the story: After being traumatized, she and Hunter start having sex immediately, her mother speaks to her in her mind about how she should have came home more often and also wants a commitment from Hunter. They are constantly being chased by the man who branded her and won't give her up. All this within a week of her trauma! Author had a good idea for the story, but it was too rushed, in my opinion.

The branding of women by the Bloody Eagles MC, leads to their murder. This doesn't sit well with the rival Hell Wolves MC when Hunter rescues Marissa, a latest victim of branding. The Hell Wolves are paying back the Bloody Eagles when they attack their President. A connection forms between Hunter and Marissa as he tries to protect her from the Bloody Eagles carrying out her death. Hunter is one of those men who any woman would appreciate and love a rescue from. Will Hunter have the ability to keep Marissa safe from her impending doom?

Out of the 3 Naomi West books I have read this is one I sort of like lol
I enjoyed this one somewhat but the fact that I felt like the book just kept dragging for me threw me off for a loop
One thing I will mention is that this book is strikingly similar to her other books especially Jace the whole VP thing the whole president getting hurt thing it’s just small similarities that I just wished were different
Anyways happy reading my lovely bookworms and remember to always be nice to one another 😊😩

Them feathers got plucked!
Hunter wasn’t playing around when he decided he was going to protect Marissa he just didn’t know he would fall for her, Killer didn’t know what he was up against when he decided he wanted to take Marissa from Hunter. He may have been big but he was still no match for the Hell Wolf VP Protecting what was his, good story great character chemistry a definite recommend !

Hunter finds Marissa on the bathroom floor,branded and drugged but he has a mission to finish, leave her, take her what is he supposed to do? The attack on rival Mc is retaliation, which will end up in war. But what is it about Marissa? Why is she the center of everyone's attention? Fast pace wild ride for this story!
