Review

Outlaw JusticeOutlaw Survival

That’s the state of Devil Call MC with its president, Talon, in prison and its other members succumbing to the dark side of a motorcycle club when there’s no one to lay the law down and dictate what actions to take. And this is the place, the position Everly finds herself in as a girl to be used by the club members simply because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But things are about to change as Talon readies to end his 18 month stint in prison and reclaim his position as head of Devil Call MC, taking back what’s rightly his and cleaning up everything that went to hell due to his absence. And, since he gets what he wants in his club, besides taking back the presidency and putting Layne back in his rightful place as second in command, he wants Everly as well, which further complicates the situation because it seems Layne wants her as well; he just hasn’t claimed what he’s wanted and Talon sure as hell isn’t going to back down now that she’s on his radar.

Inside Broken is the perfect title for Talon and Everly’s story. Both of them have pasts that have left them fractured, and the ordeals they’ve gone through, especially Talon, have hardened them and shaped them in a way that is still not quite clear. The situation within the Devil Call MC is also splintered, and it’s going to be some time before all of it gets smoothed out, especially with the further complications that are presented in the text.

The first book in Ana Fawkes’ Devil Call MC series sets up everything that’s to come for the club and its members. It’s too soon to tell how everything is going to play out, but one thing is for sure, with the club the way it is, the state of Layne and Talon’s relationship, and the about of people gunning for Talon and his club members, a shit storm is headed their way and no one is safe from its wrath.

Overall, I enjoyed Talon and Everly’s story, but there’s a lot of information left unsaid about the main characters and their background and pasts, which makes it a bit difficult to connect with them. A few times in the story, I wanted to understand why Talon and Layne were acting the way they were and even why Layne was so hands off with Everly, but it’s not provided. I’m sure readers will get this information as the story continues, but without the setup at the beginning, it’s hard to ascertain the whys and hows of the story.

Does not having this information turn me off of the story? No. I’m still intrigued by Talon, Layne, and Everly and the battle that appears to be beginning on more than one front, and I’ll be delving into book two to get my answers. I just hope I don’t have to wait too long.

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.
