Maleia-
When I’m kidnapped, abused, and thrown into a cage to slaughter other innocent women, I become a slave to their will.
But I’m no victim. I will forge myself a crown out of the bones of those who have hurt me.
When I escape the clutches of evil, I find myself surrounded by the leather-clad wall of a biker gang.
When Savage finds me swaying in the shadows and lays claim to me, do I dare to wish for a better life? One with him.
True to his name, he savages without thought but his demons recognise my own.
No princess lives here, but can he accept that I’m darkness personified?

Savage-
I’ve lived my life surrounded in the bleak abyss. A hollow man.
I’m President of the Kings Wolves MC and a hard man to love. When self doubt eats at me, I hide it well within the weight of my fist.
When Maleia lands at my feet, an angel bathed in the flames of Hell, I know she’s mine.
Those eyes of hers beseech the voice of a tortured soul and it devastates me.
I’ll never be good enough for her, but I’m too selfish a man to let her go.
Together we might slay her demons, but can she handle mine?

So my question, will you take immortality by the hand? XOX- Emmaleigh

Strong heroine that's survived so much and a dedicated hero...

that's willing to help her fight her battles? Yes, please! This is a dark book, which means there are triggers (I'll list them at the bottom).

This is the debut novel for Emmaleigh Loader and it was well done. I'm excited to read book 2 to continue seeing the journey of other members of the MC.

Maleia/Flames was kidnapped, forced to fight, and r@p*d for two horrible months. Because her dad had trained her to defend herself when she was younger, she was a great fighter to have (for her abusers). Unfortunately, the fights she had to ensure were to the death- which meant she had to kill others in order to survive. She manages to escape her prison by fighting/killing her way out and vows to come back and save all the other trapped women.

Savage/Wade is the MC prez. He comes across a beat-up Maleia and instantly falls in love with her. He nicknames her and swears to find out who did this to her. Once Maleia wakes up from her coma, her sassiness and independent instincts kick in; she's a bad a$$ and doesn't need anyone to help her. Although Savage is being genuine, she's skeptical and doesn't easily trust- which is understandable considering that she's been abused for two months.

Right away, we see how dedicated Savage is to his Flames (he's the only one that calls her that❤️). He takes care of her, bathes her gently, RESPECTS her, and worships her mind and body. He knows she's gone through a lot, and he wants her to trust him because he sincerely feels a deep connection. Little by little, his love manages to chip away at Maleia's walls. Even when the cut s!ut$ are in the club trying to lay claim on Savage (who's never touched them- yay Savage👏🏻), he defends her as much as he can before Maleia takes over and beats them up LOL. Again, she doesn't need anyone to defend her- she can defend herself, but it's so sweet that Savage is always in her corner🥰.

Maleia is seeking vengeance for her abuse and wants to shut down her abusers and their operation. She was one of the many victims that they kidnapped, and she wants to help the women and kill those men, and Savage is going to help her, but it won't be an easy road.

SPOILERS AHEAD
There are many things I liked:
-I like how strong Maleia is- surviving what she did IS NOT EASY, and she did it all with a strong chin. ❤️
-I LOOOOOOOVE how DEDICATED and FAITHFUL Savage is! 🥰It's so RARE for me to find MC books that have a faithful H that doesn't stray or sleep with OW. It warmed my heart to know that the OW grossed him out. 👏🏻YAY Savage.
-I also like how close the brotherhood is in this MC. Usually, MCs have close members, but I felt that there were true bonds in this MC
-The STEAM is HOOOOOOOOOTTTT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! I mean, it's very much insta-love on Savage's part, but there is a connection that's passionate and visceral. Savage is such an angel, waiting for Maleia to get better physically. I mean, he's willing to wait until her emotional/psychological scars heal as well, but Maleia doesn't care to wait.
-the smexy times are 🥵😅. Oh lord. Sweet Jesus they were good. And Savage always makes sure to… um… take care of his ol’ lady 😉🤤. His mouth and tongue are simply magic 🔥🥵
-Savage helping Maleia fight her battles is EVERYTHING. He's with her every. step. of. the. way. SWOOOOON🥰🥰😉! He even lets her lead and take over- because these are HER battles and she needs to be the one to overcome them (with his help, of course).
-They get tattoos for each other (well, hers wasn't EXACTLY with consent😉 lol BUT she ends up loving it) and mark each other up- sometimes with their teeth/lips🥵🤤, sometimes with a knife lol😬 (SWOOOOON)

Things I would've liked more of:
-There were times where I felt like I was missing information. There were A LOT of characters that we met (in the MC) and I felt myself getting confused. I knew, in the back of my head, that this was a debut novel, but I still caught myself googling the author to see what else she had written.
-Sometimes I felt like I needed more details (not always though).
-Although we see a connection between the H and h, I wanted more of a buildup. For short books, I understand that we won't always get stolen glances, deep stares, or the brushing up or touching like longer books, but this was a good length- I would've liked there to be more of that in here. Yes, he fell instantly in love with her, but I like the "butterflies in my stomach" feeling when the MCs have a strong connection and they're not exactly together yet.
-While I understand this is a dark book, there were times I was cringing at the abrasiveness of certain scenes (like the killing of one of the cut s!ut$). Other times, I welcomed it (when the abusers were being tortured👏🏻💁🏻‍♀️ lol).

Overall, I enjoyed this book!

⚠️Safety Squad ⚠️
-no cheating, owd/omd
-there were some hoars in the club that try to touch/entice the H, but he ONLY has eyes for the h🥰- he quickly shuts them up (and one gets killed when she tries to attack the h with her posse🤷🏻‍♀️)
-there are MANY, MANY graphic torture/killing scenes- most of them are of the bad guys (this is a dark book...)- most of the time, they were pretty gruesome and detailed (which is what I'd expect from a dark book)
-the h remembers the times she was r@p*d, tortured, abused, and forced to fight in flashback scenes- with saddening detail, unfortunately 😞
-there's some blood/knife play between the H and h
-is the carving up/mutilation of a dead body a trigger? I'll put it anyway

i TRIED SO HARD!

The characters are amazing! the whole bunch!
The h is kickass strong, resilient! The H alpha but sweet with the h, devoted, honest.
The secondary characters also very interesting... BUT!

The writing is over the top extra flourish, don't get me wrong, there are beautifully created sentences... but blood is not blood, is liquid warm red satin! That makes every paragrafe long and overly described, it gets confusing and kinda annoying!
Also is insta-love with the kind of devotion that is not questionable! This kinda of devotions goes for all the MC members, the h became so "special" for everyone that make them act extremely protective of her! (they actually kill a guy that was under influence of drugs just because he touched her. nobody knows/asked who he was or why he was there just tortured the guy and killed him, a little to much in my opinion)
The story drags because the MC are promising each other to live or die together forever!!
The h suddenly becomes the most smart person alive and figures out "things". I gave up when they actually go to get some things done, because that will take 10 pages of adjetives, protective over the top atitudes by all members of the MC.

I will try to finish this, but not right now!

My rating is purely based on the fact that I didn't finish this book. I didn't even make it past the first chapter. I want to be fair and say that I have no clue if this was an incredible story or not. It could have been, but the actual story was buried underneath the writing style. As an author, you can't cram every description known to man into one sentence or one paragraph. Most of the pages that I read had one or two long sentences that made up a single paragraph. It's okay to describe, but the author should have been showing and not telling.

Here's the true story of what actually happened: I opened the book and settled in for a couple hours of good reading. I like to read to escape, so it's not hard to get sucked into a story. However, as I am trying to swim through all of these descriptions, my eyes are getting heavier and heavier. When I get to the end of the paragraph, I can't remember what was said in the beginning. Sometimes, I went back and reread, but other times I just moved on. Not only did I not connect with the author's story, but I am lost complete interest in it. I tried twice to get through it, but both times I fell asleep with my phone in my hand. I had to call it quits.

I loved the blurb of this book... sadly that was all I loved.

I literally didn't get past the SECOND CHAPTER!!!

This author buried what could have been a decent story (I'll never know) in so much flowered poetry that I honestly forgot this was not an assigned reading in an American Literature class.

There's not much to say... she drowned my enthusiasm and killed any willingness to proceed in her verbose writing.

Might be for the next reader, not for me.

I must say this book isn't for people who enjoy light reads. This is for us that like the suspense and emotions that are involved with the darker elements.

Maleia has been through being kidnapped, raped, beaten, and other things. Once she escapes she runs into Savage of the King's Wolves MC. He is very possessive of her.

All the men in the MC are twisted in their own way. But what made the book was how Maleia was such a fighter and had sass to boot. She was a very strong female character.

She definitely belongs as one of the Wolves.

I fell in love with Flames and Savage from the get go! 😍

As soon as Savage lays his eyes on Maleia he knows she's his and he's not about to let anything stand in his way 😈 I loved how OTT J/P he was, even with his MC Brothers, nobody is allowed to touch what's his!

Maleia is such a strong character, she's been through so much and fighting so many demons, she sees herself as broken and unfixable, but with Savage by her side she soon realises her own strength 😍

I also loved how she brought softness to this group of rowdy MC Badboys, although she definitely belongs to Savage, there's no doubt that every one of them feels a pull towards her and is willing to lay their life down for her, and that also helped her heal 🥰 I especially loved the connection she had with Stitch 🥺

There's alot of characters to keep track of here but Enmaleigh has written this flawlessly, each character has his own personality which makes you fall in love with them, and her writing style is so poetic you can't help but be sucked into the story!

I can't wait to see more from the Kings Wolves MC, I'm not even ashamed to say I'm definitely a cut-slut 🥵

Brilliant book. Loved the relationship between Flames & Savage. They’re belief in each other was the strength of their relationship and helped them heal emotionally and mentally themselves.
I loved the portrayal of such and strong female character, Flames (Maleia) can really hold her own!

Maleia was taken off the streets and forced to be abused, used and kill other women for the amusement of others. When Savage and his motorcycle crew find her after she's escaped, he instantly knows that she's the one for him. Now they both have one mission: free the other girls who were taken and take down the entire operation before more women die.

If you want dark, twisted and depraved this is your book. The story was absolutely amazing, and it's not a book you could put down once you start reading. From Maleia being abducted to the very end, the author captivates you with gritty and gruesome story that spares no details.

Savage and Maleia have a very unusual relationship. Both have their quirks and are sadistic in their own right, but they love hard and are made for each other. Their chemistry is off the charts and the scenes they share are extremely steamy.

This has easily become one of my top reads ever. Incredible writing, intriguing plot, and steam that will leave everyone blushing. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

What did I just read ?

Savage is the first book in the king's Wolves MC. It's also the first book I've read by this author and let me tell ya it certainly won't be the last.

This book had me from the get go . I couldn't put it down and when I did all I could think about was the storyline and what happens next.
It is a story that is dark, vile, heartbreaking, and not for the faint of heart. It is very raw intense and at times shocking .
The main characters are made for each other both have a darkness in them that the other feels safe with and an unbreakable bond . Their souls meshed together by blood , flesh , and revenge .
Their is a happily ever after which I'm so happy about because both of these characters deserved it . I am so looking forward to reading the next book in this series if it's anything like the first it's going to be epic . Highly recommend this book by Author Emmaleigh Loader .

This book is DARK but so beautifully written. When I say dark I mean A LOT of graphic on page violence including torture, killing, and rape. But this story really is beautiful even if it’s a twisted beauty with themes of found family, making friends with your dark side, and loving one another despite everything.
The writing style of this book is very lyrical so I can see why a lot of people have commented on not liking it but I personally LOVED the writing style so much. I spent so much of my time rereading whole paragraphs and highlighting them because I found the writing so stunning. Not something I’ve ever said about a dark romance before.

Starting this review with check and heed your TW, because this book is DARK and spicy! That said…on with the review.

We are left with no illusions that the King’s Wolves MC is not a violent group of men when they need to be. Right in the first chapter, this is demonstrated explicitly. When they come across Maleia after she has escaped a very brutal, nightmarish captivity and comes stumbling out of the woods, Savage is immediately taken by her drive and determination to survive - she is not going down without a fight, and doesn’t trust anyone, for good reason. But after she realizes they are trying to help, she gives into their assistance.

Maleia isn’t a typical victim, in the sense that she’s more Viking than princess. Her captivity, which was incredibly brutal, violent, and terrifying, brought out the darkness inside, which helped her survive. But it also now drives her need for revenge, and her willingness to do whatever it takes to make that happen. She also wants to help free all the other women who are still trapped in the nightmare, and the King’s Wolves are more than happy to help her achieve both of these goals. All the while, she is drawn to Savage - his darkness doesn’t scare her, it draws her to him. Their passion is intense, and often violent. But he helps her overcome her demons, as well as support and protect her when she needs it. She finds herself, finds love, and finds home.

Savage is the MC president. Dark, dangerous, extremely violent, he never thought about love as a part of his life - until Maleia stumbled into his world. Her fiery eyes, and fight and determination to live strike him instantly, and he is immediately taken by her. The horrors she endured fuel his fire to help her get her revenge and free the other women. It’s very much a situation where he is completely terrifying to everyone around him, except the woman he loves.

We also get a very interesting group of secondary characters in the MC. Each one has their own quirks and proclivities, and each is interesting in their own right. They’re also equally dangerous and unapologetically violent. The one who stands out the most is Stitch. Always quiet, lurking in the shadows (literally, and quite hilariously so at times), Maleia connects with him almost instantly - a best friend/brother bond that is actually oddly sweet. I hope we get more of this character, maybe even his own story, because he’s probably the most intriguing.

There is really no holding back with this book. There is some very cringe-inducing violence, explicit and soul shuddering. There is also some very spicy steam, Savage and Maleia are explosive together, and they compliment each other in their wants and needs. But it’s not a gentle or quiet thing, it’s dark, twisted, violent, and intense. Like I said, read and heed the TW, because there is no joking around with them. If you like ‘em dark, twisted, and violent, this one is for you.

 This was my first dive into the bikers club romance trope, and it was a deep dive. This book is filled with graphic violence, smutty scenes, and dark themes. The violence verged on the edge of too graphic in some scenes (and I have a pretty high tolerance). But, the revenge storyline helped me move past the graphic violence. I'm all about a good revenge storyline, and this was a great one! The main female character has been used and abused in so many more ways than anyone should, but she gets her revenge, and it is smoking. 


I loved most of the characters,  especially Stitch.  The main female and male characters fell a bit flat for me. I think it may have been because I couldn't empathize with them. Or, it could have been that they fell in insta/love at first sight, which is usually a turn off for me. Not always (like in paranormal romances) but usually. Maleia is a badass though, and Savage loves her fiercely. He's possessive and controlling and a definite alpha male. 


One of my biggest issues was how wordy the book was at some points. It was painfully slow to read at points, when the descriptions kept being repeated, but in different ways. I found it hard to get through a lot of it because I was wanting to get to the action bits. I could tell that the author poured her heart and soul into the words though, so I appreciated it for what it was; just a different style of writing. 


Overall, the plot was great and I appreciated most of the characters and their club family. I think it may need some further editing to condense it, but it was a nice story. I would give it 3.5 iced coffees.

Savage was actually the first motorbike gang book I ever read. I came to the conclusion I don't particularly care for them, but that doesn't affect my review.

This a debut book, if I'm not mistaken and I have never found such a well written story from a starting author before.The story is the exact opposite of slow-burn romance, it is quick burn, consuming love at first sight and boy it was good! The romance is hot, the smut is very smutty and somewhat kinky, the story is good and fulfilling and the found family aspect is exquisite above all. I love Stitch, his sister, Liv and Josh! All amazing characters. 🥵

I always prefer longer stories to better understand and emphasize with characters but that wasn't really needed here! I am quite sure there will be a book for all the characters in the gang, next one is Quija which could be a bit supernatural??? There were quite a few misspellings but that is an easy fix.

3.5 stars✨

Well done to the author and congratulations on writing such a good story! ❤️

P.S. I am a hoe for pregnancy in books and I loved it here!

Savage is a MC Dark Romance full of alpha males and a kick ass heroine with a touch of crazy. These characters have met their demons and found a home the darkness. This book is not for the faint of heart. Please heed the trigger warnings.

In this story, we follow Maleia as she escapes her captors and gets her revenge with the help of the Kings Wolves MC. Savage, president of the MC, claims Maleia as his own and brings her back to the MC headquarters. It was interesting to see the relationships build between Maleia and the rest of the MC. For them to realize that her crazy, fits their crazy. She was beaten, tortured, and forced to kill, but she didn’t fall. She came out the other side after embracing her darkness, and she’s ready to release her chaos on her captors. After all, she needs bones to forge her crown.

For me, this book started off kind of slow. It seemed really wordy at times, and I found myself skimming just to get to the dialogue. The author was very descriptive, but I am not sure all of it was necessary.

That being said, I enjoyed this story. It was a relatively quick and easy read. We were able to meet multiple characters in the MC who I would love to see get their own book. Savage was a great start to this series. I’m a sucker for an alpha male who can be sweet with the woman he loves. Plus, who doesn’t love a woman getting her revenge.

I went in to this book blind not having much of an idea what it was about or the author's writing style. This is a new author for me and I have to say I will be reading more from her. She makes you feel like you are right there you can picture everything you are reading. This book is not for the faint hearted there is lot of triggers but if you don't have a problem with them then you will not be disappointed.

I sometimes have issues reading books with triggers I don't have them but when I am reading I get so into a book that I feel like I am right there and this author does that she make you feel like you are right alongside them. I have had to put this book down for a day then go back to it. It's so good that you can't just say no and not finish it and I have to say I am glad I keep reading I was not disappointed.

Holy Hotness 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Here we have another brand new author killing it with her debut book. Emmaleigh is definitely going on my favorite authors list. Savage will definitely be recommended by me when others in the book groups I'm in ask for recommendations. I definitely have a few go tos and this one will be added to that.
*Savage*
If you're looking for a bada$$ female, then Maleia is your girl. She experiences so much tragedy over a 2 month period that I'm not sure how she remained so vigilant. That girls soul is made of steel🖤.
Kings Wolves MC stole my heart ❤. So many great characters in this group. I love how they instantly took to Maleia, and she became a sister to them. Savage and Maleia together was perfect.
If your looking for bit of crazy and possibly a bit psycho then this book is for you. Just be sure to read the trigger warning ⚠️.
I can't wait for book 2, and I'm really hoping for more background on Maleia with her father.

What did I just read!!

If you're looking for steam and a crazy woman who knows exactly how to rip a man to shreds while taming a bunch of psychotic bikers this is the book to read.

The story line is amazing and it is impossible to not fall in love with Savage and Flames.. The characters are so well thought out and the potential for development for many characters (*cough cough *Stitch and the triplets) is mind blowing.

These books are very dark and dangerous, but I couldn't help feeling like some of the actions were justified.. I literally cannot wait for the next book in this amazing series.. 5 stars all the way.

This book definitely lives up to it’s name! It is SAVAGE! You’re definitely gonna want to heed the trigger warnings, but if you have none then dive in because this book is unbelievable. Maleia is a bad ass who has been to hell and back but hasn’t let it break her. She uses it and Savage helps her unleash and channel the madness. While Maleia helps Savage find his worth and his purpose. He is definitely the hard core Alpha type. Absolutely jealous/possessive! This book will leave you raw and make you question things about this world, but it will also spark a fire deep within you for justice.

I went into this book blind other than I knew it was an Mc romance . At first, to be honest the heroine was so tough that I thought it was paranormal and she was some kind of paranormal entity . Maleia is definitely one of the strongest heroines that I’ve ever read . Her past is dark and painful but she never gives up and embraces her darkness and bloodlust. It works because Savage and his MC brothers are dark , dangerous , and lust for blood. She doesn’t try to change him and in fact they are perfect for one another.

Savage is ott jealous and possessive. He doesn’t even like anyone to look at his girl . I loved that about him .

This was a great read . I enjoyed it and will definitely be reading the next book in this series .

Now that's a bad bad b!tch! Maleia has been through the worst a woman can go through but did that brake her, hell no. The girl created another identity and endured in order to rise again. Savage is just that and found Maleia when she ready to rest to fight another day. The two of them together along with the rest of the MC (love Stitch) is just action packed reading. For Me this book was so good but I took off a star because the grammatical errors are a little distracting. Not in a you won't understand just, in a double take kind of way. I can't wait for the next book. I hope it's just as good or better, get your friends to proofread if your an indie author that'll take it to 5 stars for me. If this is your genre of reading check this out people. Happy reading!🙋🏽‍♀️

What have I just read. I feel like I expected to go on a sedate train ride and ended up on the most extreme rollercoaster without the safety belt.

This book is dark and deals with dark themes. In fact it was madness, darkness, sadistic, harrowing, and every other extreme adjective you can think of. But it was also funny and above all it was entertaining, and I loved the storyline.

So if you're looking for a read with OTT characters who live and fight together to keep their family safe, who think nothing of using a man's innards to sew up his eyes and mouth, or to a brother who regularly tries to feed his brothers to his pet piranha, all within an MC setting, then this is for you.

This book starts with a bang! I went into this book blind because I find it’s the best way for me to fully appreciate a book. I’m definitely glad I did! This book is dark and steamy. The connection between Savage and Maleia was amazing. Maleia is a strong independent survivor and Savage is overprotective and possessive! This is the first book in the Kings Wolves MC and provides a great base for all of the members of the MC. I gotta say I can’t wait for Stitch’s book. I loved the way this entire book came together but the epilogue….just wow. An amazing ending for an amazing book.

This is the first book in a series by Emmaleigh Loader.

This author has such a way with words. Her characters and the world in which they live in are so believable. As you read this book you will find yourself wrapped up in her story and invested in her characters.

Maleia was kidnapped and tortured for 2 months before she was able to escape. She is such a strong woman and not afraid to kick ass to right a wrong. She knows that she is all messed up from those 2 months in captivity but she embraces this new her and wants justice for what was done to her and to the other women held with her.

Savage is the President of the Kings Wolves MC. He meets up with Maleia on the night she escapes. He feels a connection to her and claims her for his own. Savage is the perfect name for him as he holds a monster inside of him as well. He will do anything to protect his Queen, Maleia.

Together they try to rescue the other women with the help of the other MC members.

This book grabbed me from the first page and didn't let go. If I didn't have to work I would not have put it down until I had finished it. Some of the book was pretty had to read but I found myself cheering for them and also crying for all the pain that Maleia went through. If you have triggers I'd suggest you look into what they are before you start the book.

If you haven't read Savage yet, what are you waiting for? Go to your nearest book store or order it online!! You will NOT be disappointed!!

Loved this book and can't wait to read Ouija's story!!

Thank you for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Savage is book 1 of the King’s Wolves MC series. It features a beguiling cast of characters, all brutally predatory, all deliciously intriguing, all incredibly complex - including Savage, the MMC and the President of the King’s Wolves, and Maleia, the FMC, a fierce phoenix rising from the ashes of horrendous and sustained torture and sexual abuse whilst held captive by an underground trafficking ring.

Their meeting seems fated, and it’s clear from the off they understand and accept they were forged in the same fiery hell of sin and damnation, bound to each other in unexplainable ways.

I’m not ashamed to admit, I adore the ‘instalove’ aspect of their story, it makes their journey to their HEA all the more significant - it’s a true meeting of minds and souls.

There’s a poeticism to Emmaleigh’s writing that speaks to me. Her style adds an extra layer of meaning to both the characters and the story, and marks her story apart from most other MC Romance novelists. And she’s definitely succeeded in creating an MC world where I want to learn everything, about every character and their every complex and beautifully brutal facet. I’ll happily continue to devour every book she writes in this series.

This is a dark romance which shows the struggle of someone who has been through hell but still wants to live, to thrive not only for themselves but for others who need help. I've seen a few reviews comment on the insta love of the main characters, I actually love this in the book. There are no questions of what if, they just have to find their stride and how to make things work between them because for them there is no one else. The characters are definitely not 'normal' or stereotypical so there are a lot of surprises and what the hell moments. I'm quite squeamish so i have to admit I skimmed over the detailed torture or fighting scenes I can't handle the thoughts of it but thats just how I am. It won't put me off reading the other books in the series and seeing whats in store for the other characters.

I had the joy of Alpha and Beta reading this and DAMN! Hold on for a wild ride!

Now. Motorcycle Crew is not typically a genre I like or enjoy, but this? This has tons of stuff I loved!

It’s a bit dark and twisted but a great read.

I love Savage as a character. Dark, broody, possessive, will do anything and everything for his woman and crew. While it took some time for the female lead to grow on me, she is a strong bad ass nonetheless.

The smut scenes are amazing and revenge is oh so Damn sweet and satisfying!

I really enjoyed the side characters and excited to read more of their stories! Can we talk about Stitch ?! Whhaaattt is going on with him or what is his deal?! I need to know!

🖤Savaged My Heart🖤

This story was dark, twisted, and just wickedly amazing. It flowed so perfectly, and I truly feel like I got to know these crazy, vicious, but loyal to the core characters. I absolutely love Maleia and Savage. Savage would unapologetically destroy the world for Maleia, and she would unleash the hounds on those who dare to hurt anyone she deems as hers. I have read so many MC books, but this series has wormed its way into my dark heart and I cannot get enough of it. I look forwards to devouring the next books in the Kings Wolves MC series.
