D H Sidebottom

3.75 stars

This was a hRs book to read. However, that isn't why I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. It left too much of the unknown for me to grasp the story. I was lost as to how Mae had a child considering she died at the end of the first book. Bottom line, the confusion ruined it.

That being said, there is nothing I can say that shows just how talented this author is when it comes to writing stuff that takes depraved and dark to a mother level because this author can always make me fall down that rabbit hole. This continuation just didn't work for me.… (altro)

I haven't read anything by D.H. Sidebottom before, but I have read books by Ker Dukey, so I knew that I would be in for something that I would enjoy. And I was right. I did enjoy this book. Enjoy may not be quite the right word for it though, just might not be strong enough. I was really engrossed in the book and pulled into Avery and Slade's story, so when the end came, I wasn't ready for the end of the book, and I needed more. Luckily, the second book is already out, so I was able to get that and read it immediately.

Avery is the Cutter's Princess. Her dad runs the MC and she's his daughter. But, she wants more to her life than that. She's been dating someone else for a few months, hiding it from her dad. One night Avery and her boyfriend, and her friend and her boyfriend are going out. They stop at an out-of-the-way gas station to try to pick up some beer and snacks. While they are there, 3 riders come up on them. The problem is, they aren't from Avery's dad's club. They are from Lilith's Army.

The 3 bikers cause havoc and end up taking the girls. When the guys find out that Avery is a club princess to an allied club, the stuff hits the fan. You see, the guy who took her and now has her handcuffed in his room is the son of the Prez of the Lilith's Army. And Brenner taking Avery just started a war. The only way to stop the war or minimize it as much as possible is to have Avery marry Slade/Frost, the Prez's older son and soon to be VP. So that's what's decided will happen.

Oh man. I mean the ride that Avery and Slade go through along with how their past has affected them and changed their POV, and their goals for the future is a very bumpy one. There are all kinds of obstacles every time they turn around, and that doesn't even include the issues they have within themselves, and fighting those. I really, really, felt what Avery felt and I totally got where Slade was coming from. It was an engrossing story, and one that I'll read and reread.… (altro)

Ker Dukey and DH Sidebottom are back with the next Lilith's Army story. Finding Rhiannon starts up more or less right after Taking Avery left off. All the trouble that got started in that book is back in spades in this one. In fact, it's even worse while Lilith's Army is trying to deal with a dangerous member who has gone rogue and who is determined to hurt Avery. Rhiannon, Slade's little sister, Brenner's twin, and club Princess also gets pulled in the middle of everything going on.

Brenner just can't stop trying to burn the world down. Some people like to drench the world with gasoline and flick a match, and Brenner is one of those people. He doesn't really seem to have any kind of plan other than let's just cause as much chaos as possible. And if Avery is a casualty of that, he doesn't care. The only person he cares about is Rhiannon, and she gets dragged into stuff because of his actions.

Everybody has some kind of plan and plot going on, it seems like. There are so many secrets and terrible things that happen. It's hard and terrible on everyone. The epilogue though? Wow.

I got teary more than once during this story. It was impossible not to. I needed the epilogue. I can't wait for the next book.… (altro)
