Protective MMCs, found family, a little danger, and a club that will absolutely show up for its own. There’s an ongoing threat through the series, but every couple gets their own happily ever after, so you’re never left hanging on the relationship. I’ve read five, skipped one, and I have two couples competing for my favorite.

My Verdict Loved It
Reaper gives us Natalie, who’s trying to escape an abusive ex, and a protective MMC who isn’t about to let her face everything alone. I love a good damsel-in-distress storyline. And Reaper definitely delivers on the protective side.
Final thoughts: This was a great introduction to the club and gave me plenty of reasons to keep reading.
My Verdict Loved It
Oh, Wrath. This is easily one of my favorite books in the series. The transition from club sweet butt to old lady is practically unheard of. So I loved seeing that happen with Tara.
Final thoughts: What really made it my favorite was watching their relationship develop from something that probably shouldn’t have happened into something much more meaningful.
My Verdict Haven’t Read It — Skipped for Now
I haven’t read Colt. From what I understand, it takes place outside the original club’s city, and it has a hidden-relationship kind of trope that I’m not a fan of, so I skipped it.
Final thoughts: I might go back later and read it, but it’s not necessary to read every book.
My Verdict Really Liked It
Midnight gives us something a little different: a single dad with kids. I liked getting that different perspective on MC life.
Final thoughts: I enjoyed the family aspect and the way this book showed a different side of the club.
My Verdict Loved It
I really enjoyed Bullet and Harlee’s story. We actually met Bullet back in the first book, Reaper, when he was still Jacob, a prospect trying to earn his place in the club.
Final thoughts: There’s something about watching a character grow in the background of several books and then finally getting to see him find his own happily ever after. I loved getting that with Bullet.
My Verdict Loved It
I loved this one! Hades and Evelyn just fit so well together. They communicated, supported each other, and didn’t spend the entire book dealing with unnecessary secrets or trust issues. Imagine that!
I also loved that we didn’t get a drawn-out forbidden-love storyline. Reaper was supportive from the beginning, and it was really just a matter of Hades and Evelyn figuring out what everyone else already knew.
My only real complaint? I wanted more! This book was less than 300 pages, and I wasn’t ready to leave these two.
It’s officially competing with Wrath for my favorite book in the series.
