Good, but not great
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Katrina lands a job in the local biker bar while she finishes up her final semester at nursing school. Club enforcer Mute props himself up at the end of the bar for most of the night and watches. Kat's life is threatened, along with that of the club. Mute digs deep to overcome his fear of falling in love again, and pulls out all the stops to save both Kat and his beloved club.

Ok! SO!

I liked this, mostly. I think.

Not a particularly original story line, but it is told in a slightly different way. Kat has her say for the bigger part of the book in the first person. Then Mute has a say, for a little bit, in the third person. Until Mute has his say, I wasn't sure I was enjoying it, and maybe I wasn't even going to finish it. But Mute having his say made the book a little more enjoyable and I did finish it.

I liked that there was a slow build between Kat and Mute. I did not like that the love word was bandied about very early on.

From what I can see, this is a first time author and in places, it does show. It's a little . . . clunky . . . . .at points and some things don't flow too well.

A good start, not a great one.

3 stars

Just bad
Just really bad. I stayed watching cause the basic premise s interesting. I get that this is not a AAA, big budget title, but it just doesn't get anything right. It tries to be a B movie slasher pic, but "violence" mostly takes place off screen. The plot has giant gaping holes, such as why on earth is this skanky night club pick pocketer suddenly like MacGyver? Nothing any of the characters say is believable, both because of the things they say and because they are horrible actors. Nor is this movie so bad it's good, a la Sharknado. Life is too short to watch garbage like this.
