I love our Badland devious and deviant characters- and I have such a soft spot for our OG characters- the devil king and all the brutal men and badass women that build this savage Badland world. But, I LOOOOOOVE the second generation. Perhaps even more than their parents- GASP. Truly it's the icing on the cake- we get glimpses of our matured, but still crazy original families , but we also get to see the new and evolved Badlands world through the eyes of their children. The children who somehow capture all the aspects of BOTH parents that we know and love, and a world that has even more complicated dynamics, dangers, and mind games- this is Badlands insanity 2.0. Strap on your straight jacket and drink the Kool-Aid, my friends, cause this is a crazy, depraved, and deliciously dark ride- and I love it.
The collection includes the first three books. Book 1 (Degenerates) of the NG is my favorite perhaps of the entire series (old and new)- and focuses on Adelaide, the prodigal daughter of the king and queen themselves, Calista and Romero. The savage princess has a star crossed story with a pyscho prince. Hellions is about Nyx, Grimm and Arlen's FIERCE daughter. And Renegades focuses primarily on the stories of two NG sons- Romero's mini-me, his son Lucifuge, and Cam, the character I love the most in the series and Cobra and Blue's son.
Like their parents, there is a bigger narrative that weaves together the individual stories. Their individual stories are twisted, dark, and mysterious- we're often on the outside trying to piece together a very gnarly puzzle. Our characters suffer incredible adversity and emotional and sometimes physical trauma, but there is always satisfying retaliation. But, unlike the originals, I found each book in the new generation to have a more individualized tone and tenor- we get some "softer" moments (for Natalie at least) in some, and some more brutal ones in others, but overall, I feel like we have more emotional range. And with a now more sprawling cast of characters, we're left with even more questions. I find them even more unpredictable and captivating, and I LOVE how we get to see the dynamics of this family play out outside of the romance. The relationships are more rich, more nuanced, and more addictive.
The collection also features bonus content- three bonus chapters that are told from the POV of our original parents and that take place after the events of Renegades. These are very short, but SO special. Not only does it feel like coming home to be back in their minds, but it is fantastic to see how our OG couples are navigating the havoc that is occurring by the hands of their children. These chapters also serve as brief teasers/bridges to the overarching story- Renegades left us as a bit a of a pivotal moment, and hearing how the parents are coping and reacting only makes me more excited for what we're getting hints of coming.
I love this series- TRIGGERS EVERYWHERE, this is very savage, very dark, very twisted, but if you like to dance on the dark side, definitely pick this up. This COULD be read without reading the originals, but half the meaning comes from knowing everything at play at the history- so I recommending you start with the original series first and then pick up the second generation.

The next generation of misfits! Natalie Bennett brings The Badlands Next Generation in one bundle! Unbelievable stories of a bunch of degenerates and their survival!
January 24, 2021
✰✰✰✰✰Five Star Review for “Badlands Next Generation” special edition box set. This series features stories from
The Degenerates -Adelaide&Zane
The Hellions -Nyx&Maliki and
The Renegades -Astraea&Lucifuge
The next generation of savage children are a motley bunch of degenerates with one thing in mind, protecting and flourishing their legacy. Not much has changed but the villains are different and the corruption is very close to home. I am so in love with this world, every story is brutal and beautiful in a way only Natalie can create. Her characters are damaged but not beyond redemption. The Badlands are their home and they with protect their own until their dying breath. It is strongly recommended to start with The Badlands box set or Savages as this story goes way back in its roots and you may become lost within the story. It’s a brutal world out there and there is only one challenge, Survival!

This is the box set for The Next Generation and I’m so thrilled to be able to have these books together! This is a deliciously dark and intoxicating box set I could not put down ! Loved the sneak peek we got in the bonus content ! This series is literally my favorite dark romance series EVER! Can’t wait for Miscreants!
February 16, 2021
First thing I'm going to say is READ SAVAGES FIRST! I, like an IDIOT, have not read the parent series YET! This is a new series about the children of the OGs so it's a new story, but there were a few references that I had no clue about. Also, I didn't read the bonus chapters included with the set because of this. I don't want to ruin it more for myself. I suck, I know.
With that out if the way.. these books are pretty darn good! I was iffy about starting them, but I'm glad I did! I went in blind to what the stories were even about honestly (again, I suck), but I quickly picked up because Natalie does a good job at explaining and getting the point across. For Degenerates (book 1), I'd give it a 3.5 star. It was good, but I felt like it was too short and didn't give me enough of the conclusion. The story is set up good in the book, but leaves you on a cliffhanger (thank the gods I read this in the collection so I could just keep going, lol). I wanted more of Addy and Zayne. They are so precious! The chemistry is great from the beginning! Next was Hellions (book 2).. I give it a 4 star. I love the betrayal and the twists and turns that started in the first book and how it shaped this book. I think it gave a deeper meaning to the characters. Natalie created the best story for these two and really put thought into how the betrayal helped bring Nyx and Maliki together. This book definitely helped move along the story as a whole. It was too short as well and still left a cliffhanger! So for Renegades (book 3).. I say 4.5 stars!! It was so close to being 5 stars! Like SO close! The story was good, but it kinda felt bumpy in the storyline. Maybe because the first two books flowed so good and was focused around the same four characters? Idk. It was my favorite of the three though! I liked that it put some of Cam's POV in there and it made me really want to read more from him! The romance was electric with Star and Luce. The story kind of felt like it had some gaps, but nothing major. It kind of ties up some loose ends, but also opens a whole new can of worms! This books also leaves you on a cliffhanger of sorts. I'm hoping the next book gives me some answers!
Overall I'd give this series a 4.5/5 stars! The whole series was pretty dark with tons of twists, turns, backstabbing, and betrayals. It also had some amazing romance! Definitely read this series.. AFTER reading Savages!

I wish that Luce had more POV time, his take in specific areas of the book would’ve made a much more crucial impact, than Astraea’s at certain times.
Cause some area’s in the book had left me scratching my head on how they were given information/where they got their leads, cause you weren’t given a true answer from where they came from.
I really NEED CAM’s Book!
I won’t spoil the Bonus Shorts but I’ll give a rating :)

I might have said this before but i'll say it again, Natalie Bennett is the Queen of dark romance, THE QUEEN! You know the type of romance where instead of roses, your love brings you the head of your enemies? Scratch that, your love goes out hunts your enemies and gives them to you as a gift... And if they do bring you roses, those roses have been fertilized by the blood of said enemies! That kinda dark romance.
Anyway, about this collection.. This is the next generation of the Badlands. It follows the kids of the OG's. Have you ever wanted to follow up on a series you loved but at the sametime you know that series ended perfectly and you don't want it to go on without reason and end up being long and tedious but you STILL want to know whats going on in their lives? Well this is that follow up. This takes place in the Badlands world, you still get to see the OG's every once in a while and hear whats going on BUT this collection is focused on the kids and these kids are something else lol but they have to be to grow up the way they did. This collection has 3 books for the next generation plus a sneak peak!
Get it Get it Get it! And if you haven't read the OG Badlands.. go get that 1st!

First off Natalie Bennett is the absolute QUEEN of everything dark and twisted when it comes to romance books. The worlds she creates are gritty, raw, disturbing and all around dubious :)
You have met the parents and now its time to enter the world of the next generation as they embark on their journey to the destiny that lies before them. It is dirty, heartbreaking, disturbing, and suspenseful in all the right ways. I loved every single moment of watching the kids grown into their own. They are forging their own path and every book is better than the last. Lines are crossed, betrayal runs deep and revenge is definitely served better cold.
This box set had the next generation books 5-8 and will leave you on the edge of your seat. You wont want to put it down and you may need a therapist by the end to deal with the disturbing way that you love this series. Did i mention the amazing extra content. I was so excited to get the parents point of views from what has happened so far in the next gen books.
Welcome to the Badlands where it's kill or be killed. This place is not for the faint of heart. There will be blood. There will be pain. There will be love (even if its just a tad bit twisty and messed up)

Degenerates
I absolutely loved Addy and Zane story and I couldn’t get enough!
This series is one of my absolute favorites and I love them!
They’re both cray cray but that’s what makes them... well them!
There’s a betrayal by someone who was family and that was totally unexpected!
Definitely worth the read because so far this series is amazing! Highly recommend!
Hellions
Yikes talk about betrayal!
Maliki and Nyx weren’t supposed to be together but somehow they work!
They’re all still feeling the effects of betrayal and trying to find the people they love but as usual things get crazy first!
Both have no problem killing whoever is in their way and I absolutely loved every minute of it!
Can’t wait to read the next book! Highly recommend!
Renegades
i am absolutely in love with the badlands series by Natalie and i can't get enough!
once again i'm loving the dark worlds that Natalie brings to life with her writing.
this one was no different, it was dark and delicious.
sparks fly and along with all the chemistry there is tragedy that these characters have to get past.
this was absolutely brilliant as well as twisted and i can never get enough of Natalie's twisted stories!
get ready and be prepared for a wild ride!
if you guys haven't read this series yet then i highly recommend it!

Satan’s firstborn and the daughter of Death walk into a bar...sounds like a joke until you add a venomous prince and a debauched scorned lover looking for revenge and redemption. Now you have a Natalie Bennett box set worth reading over and over just to relive it all again and again. If you don’t love a twisted and sinister love story between two villains, this set ain’t for you. If you do....good luck getting sleep before you finish reading! No seriously, I can’t tell you how many times I though “One more chapter!” and ended up reading ten more instead. This box set is AMAZING. And can we talk about how incredibly adorable and awesome the cover art is??
Let me be perfectly clear. If you haven’t read the first four books, go do so before starting this. If you have, YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS. Every single time you think you have it all figured out, this gorgeously sinister author knocks you right back off your feet with entire barrages of plot twists and heart pounding scenarios. If you find yourself being attracted to the villain more than the hero in every story you read, welcome to your new heaven.
I absolutely adored this set and it made me even more excited for Miscreants 😍😍😍

Back to the Badlands we go! This new generation of Savages is thrilling and a twisty adventure. Like their parents before them, these aren’t your cookie-cutter romances filled with poetry and chocolates. They’re gritty, twisty, and rough.
Degenerates – Zane is one of my new faves, and this story was just as good as the OG tales. The push and pull between him and Addy was fantastic. This was a great intro to the new generation.
Hellions – oh how I love Nyx! She may be my favorite in many ways. This was a quick read, captivating the whole way through. And, like the partnership between Nyx and Maliki.
Renegades – this one was a bit different than all the other books, a bit more tame and sweet. But it worked well for the storyline! The ending leaves you wanting to know what is going to happen in Miscreants ASAP!
If you loved the OG Savages, you will love their children, too. I don’t think these three books were quite as dark as their parents’, but the stories are fabulous all the same. I really enjoyed the bonus content at the end of this boxset. The next book promises to be a dark one, and I can’t wait!

This series is by far one of my favorites. So if you haven’t read it this boxset is definitely your way to go. This is not your average love story. There is so much blood and destruction in a world that is in ruins. It’s just utter carnage.
There are leaders and there followers but there are also KINGS. And Romero is a King. He is always 5 steps ahead of the game. You think you are moving in the right direction but you are only moving where Romero wants you to. Next Generation focuses on their spawn. You can’t even call them kids! They are bad asses in the making. No fear, no hesitation, just action. They were raised to lead in a twisted world. They suffer utter betrayal but it doesn’t stop them. They are focused and will move forward at all costs.
Ohh I love this series!

Badlands: Next Generation Collection
#5 Degenerates: Adelaide and Zane
#6 Hellions: Nyk and Maliki
#7 Renegades: Lucifuge and Astraea
These are the products of Savage procreation and just as lethal. I cannot express how each story goes hand in hand with life in the Badlands and how extraordinary it is written. Just like their predacessors, these kids are absolutely ruthless and ahead of the game. There is pain and betrayal with surprise, but there will be no remorse had for what must be done to protect the people closest to the heart. Each book is a dark love story in their own twisted individual way, a bloody and sickeningly beautiful coming together of two people of the next generation.

The next generation is here and they are amazing. I didn't think I could love anyone more than I love Rome and Callie, but the kids of our original group of deviants have taken their place. The next generation brings a whole new level to the dark and twisted lives of the Savages. This box set includes the stories of several of the next generation as well as a few bonuses and a gripping excerpt from the next in this amazing series. This set brought out so many emotions as I read through their stories. I think I felt more for this band of Savages than I did for their parents. Natalie Bennett has once again floored me with this set and I can't wait to see what else is in store for my favorite deviants.

This set is book 5-7 in Natalie Bennett's Badland series and covers the stories of several of the original deviant's children. If you haven't read the previous books in this series I highly recommend you do so as there is a ton of information about who everyone is and what's going on. I absolutely loved everything about this set from the amazing cover, to the gorgeous artwork in each story, to the stories themselves. I thought it was impossible to fall even further in love with this band of degenerates but Natalie has once again torn my heart out with each story. I loved getting to know the children and watch them grow into some amazing adults. I can't wait to see what's next for this group.

It just gets better
Be still my dark little heart. We thought the OGs were crazy but the next gen are showing them how it’s done! It’s dark, it’s twisted, there is betrayal, there is hurt, there is love and we even get to see the OGs. These first 3 books have it all and yet I’m sure they’ve only scratched the surface of what’s to come! This series (along with the original) just pulls you in and has you shouting more! Just when you think thinks are as dark and crazy as we’ve ever seen- BAM- is gets worse in such a good way!! A must read series. Just go in with your mind and heart open!

Impossible to believe Natalie Bennett could improve upon the original Savages, but their offspring have made them proud. The next generation of degenerates did not disappoint and I love the new twists and turns and the development of this world. Seeing the new factions and getting their backstory and their impact on the Savages/next generation has truly turned my world upside down. Never thought that a Savage child would betray their own, but seeing how the others come together to support each other was amazing and I found it fitting the way they meted out retribution. Can’t wait for the next story to come!

The next generation from the badlands are just as monstrous, just as savage, just as venomous and just as brutal as the original! This boxset will have you on the edge of your seat grabbing your kindle throughout the entire thing! I loved getting to dive head first into the twisted minds of the children of the notorious main Savages. Just because the Savages are at the top of the Badland anarchy doesn't mean they have any less enemies than before! More gangs/cults are popping up out of thin air and are just as power hungry. We get to see alliances, betrayal, death, and destruction and I for one can't wait to see what Natalie Bennett has in store for us with the rest of this series!

The badlands series is what drew me in to Natalie’s world and so returning too the next generations story is the best!
Just when you think you might be able to compare these characters with the savages that is their parents, they show you that they are their own brand of twisted and I love how they are familiar to the OG’s but different too
It is never ever a disappointment when you get a peek into Natalie Bennett’s mind, her stories and words stay with you long after the last page
The bonus content in the book was AMAZING but such a tease, love it love it !!

I love that we get to see the badlands babies all grown! And I REALLY love that we get to see the original savages. Something I really appreciate is that Natalie Bennett surprised me with her twists and turns. She for sure, did NOT pull any punches. This is the badlands and you should trust no one.
The books are just as good as the original savages with a heavy themes of betrayal and loyalty throughout. If you loved Rome, Callie, Grimm, Cobra and the rest of the fam, you'll want to read these books, I promise.
Happy chapters!

It's been awhile since I dove into the badlands.
Damn I missed this group, what an amazing messed up trip they take you on. There will be twists and turns you don't expect, and some you might. Natalie Bennett has a way of creating these worlds we shouldn't like, but we love so much and never want to leave. She has a way of capturing our attention and keeping us wanting more. This had to be one of my favorite series yet, I'm still at a crossroads on which I love more, the ogs or the next gen.

If you’re a lover of dark romance, have no triggers and can plow through books this box set is for you. Not only do we get to see where the OG’s kids are taking us. We also get a glimpse of the OG’s themselves.
On top of getting more #TPR in my life (swoooon with a death note) we get exclusive bonus content that feeds our hungry soul.
It’s dark, depraved, devious, sinful and just plain wrong. But would you have it any other way? It is the badlands after all 😈 if you haven’t started this series make sure you check out badlands (there’s also a boxset if interested)

Seeing the kids of Romero and Cali- Cobra and Blue- and Grimm and Arlen from The Badlands series (My Favorite books EVER) in this Next Generation Saga was AMAZING! Plus the bonus at the end of the OG’s 😻 You definitely need to read The Badlands books 1-4 before reading this series to get the full experience. Every story in this is good and leaves you intrigued wanting more. Natalie is a one click author for me because she writes these fantastic messed up characters that I love to read! Get ALL the books you will not be disappointed!!

Degenerates-
This was considerably tamer than the original Badlands series. It was also a slower burn.
Do not think that means things were just super chill over here, bc you should know better.
I really liked Addy & Zane and am looking forward to more.
Hellions-
There are so many moving parts to this series, and every time one piece locks into place, another starts spinning out of control. I love it. My brain definitely isn’t taking any rests here in the Badlands.
Nyx & Maliki are two more twisted halves finding their place in the darkness.
I just wanna know what is happening!
Renegades-
I was worried at first, not even gonna lie, but I should have known to trust in Bennett to make sure that things were the way they needed to be.
Ave Satanas, and all that, right?
Add in the sneak peeks of things to come and you can just imagine how much I loved this collection.

Natalie hit it out of the park again!! I love her twisted mind. This book had all three second generations books in it. I am happy to have them all in one book.
It was great to read about the children of the first group. The children are just as depraved as their parents. I can’t wait to read Miscreants. That little snippet at the end of Renegades just wet my appetite for more. Great job Natalie!!

Oh my savage heart! The OG savages are preparing the badlands for the next generation. While we see betrayal we never saw with the OGs, we watch the second generation grow into the future rulers of the Badlands. Zane & Addy, Maliki & Nyx, Lucifuge & Star, and our sweet dark Cam! These are the next generation of the badlands and they are just as much of degenerates as their parents. Natalie has made a world we can’t walk away from and need more of!

The OG Badlands and now The Next Generation Badlands is one of my absolute favorite series from Natalie Bennett; nobody does dark and twisted like her and I am 150% here for it.
Adelaide & Zane ( Degenerates )
Nyx & Maliki ( Hellions )
Lucifuge, Star & a little bit of Cam ( Renegades )
Lots of twists, back stabbing, debauchery, betrayal & violence + all the added scenes and the return to the Badlands is exactly what my Savage loving reader heart needed!

Let’s just start by saying Natalie Bennett is the best when it comes to dark and twisted reads. This book focuses on the kids from the original Badlands series. And it still sucks you in and definitely wanting more. Will always leaving you wanting more. Cant wait to continue on with the next book in the series. Do yourself a favor and start the series where it all began with the book Savages. You won’t regret it.
