Seventeen-year-old Violet has always been expected to sit back and let the boys do all the saving.

It’s the code her father, a member of the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, raised her to live by. Yet when her dad is killed carrying out Terror business, Violet knows it’s up to her to do the saving. To protect herself, and her vulnerable younger brother, she needs to cut all ties with the club—including Chevy, the boy she’s known and loved her whole life.

But when a rival club comes after Violet, exposing old secrets and making new threats, she’s forced to question what she thought she knew about her father, the Reign of Terror, and what she thinks she wants. Which means re-evaluating everything: love, family, friends . . . and forgiveness.

Caught in the crosshairs between loyalty and freedom, Violet must decide whether old friends can be trusted—and if she’s strong enough to be the one person to save them all.

CHEVY

“Chevy,” Cyrus calls near the entrance, “We need to talk.”

Damned knot in the tug-of-war-rope and I’m starting to feel frayed. Mom doesn’t blink as she waits for me to say something. To tell Cyrus he can wait. To tell her what she wants to hear. But as much as I love her, I’m also drawn to the club. She’s right, I do want both.

“I’ll be back to pick you up later,” I say.

Mom throws the towel she had expertly throttled into the sink behind her, walks to the other side of the bar and the strobe light casts a red haze around her. If I didn’t know her better, I’d buy the flirty smile and the way she giggles in happiness as she leans on the bar to take a drink order. But that’s not her real smile and that’s not her real laugh. It’s part of her job, part of her act, because that’s what working her requires—performing.

With a kick to a barstool, I head for the exit. Cyrus walks out into the night and I follow. Once outside, Cyrus turns to me and his warm breath creates a cloud in the cool night. “We’ve had some trouble tonight with the Riot.”

The Riot would be a motorcycle club north of us in Louisville. They’re pissed at the Terror for myriad reasons, the main one being we’re a legit club and they deal in illegal. They’re also angry at one of our main members, Eli. They feel he stole their daughter and granddaughter from them. Eli didn’t steal a thing. Can’t call someone’s free will in walking away from crazy a crime.

Life sucks for the Riot and I’m fine with that. “Everything okay?”

“Yeah. Everyone’s safe, but we’ve had word that they’ve ridden past the boundary lines we set with them a few months back. It’s all rumor and no one on our side has confirmed it. Could be someone’s overactive imagination, but I’ll feel better knowing you’re off the road.”

I’m under eighteen, still a kid to him. Cyrus used to act this way with my two best friends, Oz and Razor, but both are eighteen and full members of the club now. The babysitting twists my gut, but then again, I’m not ready for the decision eighteen will bring. “How about Violet?”

“I’m on my way now to look for her. She’s also not answering her cell.”

Yeah. A lot of that going around. “If she took Stone to the game, she would have headed straight home. I’ll check on her on my way to Mom’s if you want.”

This gives me the excuse I need to see Violet. Because I won’t be able to sleep without knowing she’s okay. So I can thank her for what she did for me with the note. To gauge whether or not Violet is waving the white flag.

Cyrus lays a hand on my shoulder. “I’d appreciate that. I need to head back to the clubhouse to take care of some business. I’m serious about what I said though. Me and a lot of guys would love to hear about the game.”

I know they would and I’d enjoy being with them, but Mom’s already sore that I walked out on her to talk to Cyrus. “I’m beat. After I check on Violet, I’m crashing.”

Cyrus gives me a fast pat and a hug. We both mount our bikes and start our engines with a growl. My grandfather takes the lead and I follow him as long as I can before taking the path that leads away from him and toward where Violet lives.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Straight out the gate this story just immerses you. Within the first few chapters I was already pacing and couldn't handle the suspense of it all. I mean seriously who does that? To top it off I was like okay how can the story get better from here? There is already a climax so soon and I mean hello, how do you top that? Well let me just say Katie McGarry knows how to write and she did more than just top it, she sky rocketed it into space!!!

Since I read Walk the Edge I wanted to know what was up with Violet and Chevy. What was their story? I got a bit of background but not too much and let me say this story is so worth it. Chevy's love and devotion for Violet is unrelenting and unwavering. Every thing he does is for her whether she likes it or not.

Violet is determined to never have anything to do with The Reign of Terror MC again, but at every turn she finds them there. While she pushes they silently wait in the background protecting her. I get why she is upset but to see how much she is loved by the MC, ugh made me so happy.

Right from the jump you see how much Chevy and Violet love one another. He is giving her the space she needs but when true terror happens upon them, you really see how fiercely devoted they are to one another. I loved every damn minute of this book. Every twist, every turn and I mean that last twist was like OMG it all makes sense now!!! I was also happy to see Razor and Oz, I have missed this unconventional family. Everytime I read a new book in this series I am thrown back into the biker world and I love it. There is danger, excitement, drama oh the drama, loss, anticipation and so much love.

I don't know how Katie does it, but she never disappoints. Every story is told in its own unique way. Even though they intertwine I never get tired of being in this world. I have read several MC books and they seem to all blend together but Katie's never seem that way. They are rich in character and plot, each one focuses on different aspects of the MC life that I never tire of the characters. Plus she throws in some pretty damn amazing twists and turns that has me glued to my kindle. If you are looking for a series that will leaving you reeling then this is the one for you.
