NEW RELEASE!! SHATTERED SKULL (Sons of Sinister #1) by Tabatha Vargo! + My Review

Posted on by Gin
Title: Shattered Skull
Series: Sons of Sinister #1
Author: Tabatha Vargo
Genre: New Adult MC Romance
Release Date: March 17, 2020

The first time I saw Aiken Cross aka Skull, he was standing atop a speeding motorcycle.

The second time, he was putting his fist through my brother’s face.

Now he’s everywhere I look.

He’s making my life hell with his vulgar remarks and seductive lure, but it’s not my fault my brother joined The Border Lords, his rival crew. I keep my nose out of their business and my head in the books, yet he’s always there provoking me. Dragging me into their conflict.
Everyone in town knows you don’t mess with the Sons of Sinister, but no one ever told me what to do when a Son of Sinister messes with me.

MY REVIEW:
Terrific set up for a new series! Four hot guys in a motorcycle street gang involved in illegal racing, illegal drugs and other bad activities. Nobody crosses the Sons of Sinister and gets away with it even the really bad guys in the rival gang or wannabes. There’s brutal gang violence, sexual violence, wild partying, drugs and a sexy sweet romance. First up is the broody, gruff badass, Skull. He’s working to go legit but it’s a hard go especially when the teen waif, Everly, gets in the mix. She’s new in town and has a horrible home life in addition to a debilitating condition. I really liked these two together and the push pull between them even if it went on a little long. I got whiplash from Skull’s back and forth but he was always there for Everly whether she wanted his help or not. I liked that Everly wanted to take care of herself and the effect she had on Skull. The first half of the story was fantastic but it kind of bogged down later in the story with the two POVs. The twist wasn’t too much of a surprise or the resolution. I loved the stunt riding and gritty street culture aspects of the story along with the terrific Sons brotherhood. This was an exciting read with intriguing characters and a great intro to a new series. I can’t wait for the next installment.

I love books! I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I was the kid with the flashlight under the covers reading until the wee hours. Books were my refuge. I was delighted to discover tree climbing. I would take a book and climb to the top of a Mimosa tree and read for hours...and of course ignore my mother calling for me to do chores. I was committed to reading all of the Nancy Drew stories. Ned was my first book boyfriend. When I was in my early teens I discovered Harlequin romances. I feel in love and it changed my life. I was in love with Love 💕 That’s something for a girl who hadn’t been kissed yet. When I read “he thrust his throbbing member into her womanhood” I was lost to discovering more about this particular brand of romance. But I don’t just enjoy romance reads. My father-in-law introduced me to the high fantasy genre and I loved it. When I bought my first Nook the world of books really took me by surprise. I was enthralled with all the available genres and to my delight I discovered erotica. In most cases, I was with family on visits to bookstores and you don’t peruse those even if they carried them. Oh the shame of it! ;) Thanks to Nancy Drew I still enjoy mysteries along with romance, fantasy, erotica, paranormal, steampunk, thrillers, and well, most anything except a horror of a horror. My favorite might be romance suspense but it’s hard for me to pick just one. I had a serious health issue a few years ago and was forced to quite working after building a career I could be proud of. It was devastating and depressing. I lost myself in books and now spend my days (and nights) reading. I am so appreciative of authors and the wonderful storytelling I’ve found in books. It takes me away from my troubles and introduces me into a world like no other. I love books!
