Review: Solid Start to New MC Series!
Rating: 4 out of 5

This was the first book I’ve read in the Motorcycle Club genre but I really like Stacey Lynn’s writing so I figured I’d give it a shot. I picked it up when it was released for 99cents but just got around to reading it and I have to say it was a solid read and I am looking forward to reading others in the series.My only frame of reference for the whole MC culture is Sons of Anarchy and when comparing the characters and events in this book to that show, I think that the club and world she’s created felt very authentic (and it was easy to picture Jax Teller as Daemon in my head). The author certainly didn’t gloss over the less glamorous side of being part of this lifestyle. There was deceit, destruction and death and the boys did what was necessary to protect their club and their women without apology. The book was action packed and kept me guessing as the story unraveled.I really liked the characters, both the main two and the host of secondary characters. I could understand Liv’s struggles with her desire to escape all of it while having it be the only place she’s ever really felt at home. Sometimes she seemed a little over the top with her whole “poor me” act but she eventually snapped out of it and I really liked where she was at by the end of the book. Daemon was great, he had a lot going on with club business, his brother and most importantly trying not to lose Liv again. He was always no nonsense with her and I really liked how he didn’t play games and was always clear with what he wanted from her. You could totally feel the chemistry between them and I loved how Daemon comforted Liv as history began to repeat itself.I loved Finn and loved Ryker. I feel bad for Faith but we didn’t really get to know too much about her, other than the situation she’s in. So I am looking forward to seeing how all of that plays out between her and Ryker in the next book! Overall a good read and left me wanting to read more about the Nordic Lords, 4 stars!
