Michel’s Review

Wow!  Emma James has joined my favorite authors list and is definitely my favorite new author of 2015.  I was blown away by her Men of Ocean Beach books.  I was excited to see that she had a new series releasing that had a biker theme.  In my mind I was expecting an emotional type of story rather than a dark thriller.  Emma James does dark just as well as she does emotional.

Wrenched took me by complete surprise.  I was expecting a story that revolved around the  Hell’s Bastard MC.  What the reader got was much more complex.

Whisper is a young woman that has been held in depraved captivity since her infant years.  She has never experienced a normal, loving life.  She has been a victim all her life.  Rather than letting her life circumstances beat her down, she allowed it to strengthen her for the day when she was either freed or dead.  In all reality it looked like death was going to be the ultimate ending for her.  Freedom comes at an unexpected moment but not without a price.  Now she is a young woman that is lost in the world.  She has no past and could very well have no future.  But she’s free.  She has found new people who care for her and are watching her back.

Edge is the most brutal enforcer in the Hell’s Bastard MC.  He’s the judge, jury, and executioner.  He is one of the most feared men in his dark world.  Edge didn’t become this brutal and lethal man by choice.  He had a horrific childhood in which he escaped.  He vowed he would one day return and dispense his brand of justice on his father.  Fate took that away from him.  His father died and it was not by his hand.  His father screwed him over one more time in his death  when he left the whore, Whisper, his entire estate except for the $100 he left his natural born son.  Edge is hunting down Whisper.  She took his inheritance.  It’s not about the money.  It’s about the theft of his justice.  His justice is going to knock on Whisper’s door.

As the old saying goes “read between the lines” and “all is not black and white” definitely applies in this story.  All is not how it seems.  There is a more tangled plot than a depraved man destroying two young lives.  This depraved man was playing a game of chess and in the end, his king will not be taken.  He had the foresight to destroy them both in his death.

Wrenched ended on a major cliffhanger that left me chilled to the bone.

Emma James created a complex plot that could be described as a tangled web.  Wrenched was just the beginning and introduction to a very twisted complex story.  The writing is brilliant.  I believe that once the Hell’s Bastard Series is complete, it will easily be a 6 Star series.

Wrenched is a superb dark thriller!
