MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
Once again Ms. Earl has pulled readers into her dark and gritty world featuring the Devil's Handmaiden's MC and their continuing efforts to bring a dangerous group to justice. This is a story of second chances, bringing two people back together who were torn apart in an absolutely gut-wrenching way. They've been running from the pain ever since that moment, but the past has come back and must be finally dealt with as multiple storylines converge in this installment. From start to finish this is a heavy read with images and storylines that will be triggering to some. It depicts the worst of people while presenting an unconventional image of a family who unconditionally support this couple's journey back to each other. While the overall focus isn't on this couple's actual romance, readers are completely pulled into the emotional journey of physician Malcom Malty and bar manager Frankie ‘Wildcat’ Camano.
While this story CAN stand on its own it's a more richly rewarding experience to see where all of the individual storylines originated from and the intensity of them all coming together here. Malcom and Frankie's journey broke my heart at times, the hatred from others left me wanting to cry, but their resiliency and the support from the other secondary characters of the Devil's Handmaidens MC kept me turning the pages with hope that justice will prevail. Malcom and Frankie are a realistic couple, torn apart in a way I won't soon forget, and I was rooting for them to finally put the past behind them. Along with this unforgettable main couple was an eclectic and larger than life cast of characters, the women and men of the Devil's Handmaidens MC who have active roles in delivering justice. From the first page to the last this was another powerful story from Ms. Earl, an epic tale of second chances that pushes every emotional button.
My rating for this is an A.
*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
