Review: Savage (ARC) Release Day!

RELEASE DAY!



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?

Trigger Warning-
Dark themes and tragic stories. My work will always be on the darker side, with happily-devil-afters. Degrees of dark and tragic vary. Soft to hard. I have no middle ground. There are no boundaries. It's where the story takes me. No cheating, my heroines would eat their Alphas and then there would be no story. Know your worth. We'll love you anyway. I write paranormal fairy tales and dark romance for the dark hearted, Queen's in black kicking ass and King's on their knees, worshiping their women.
So my question, will you take immortality by the hand? XOX- Emmaleigh
Note- Kings Wolves is NOT paranormal, however does contain Paranormal aspects. One of the character's is a seer with a gift referred to as 'The cunning'
 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.
