Rebel

Rebel: Deadmans Ink Book 1 Recommended Read! "You believe in vengeance?" "You mean like revenge?" He shakes his head. "Revenge is a selfish act. Retaliation for something. Vengeance is a different thing altogether. It's about obtaining justice, usually for someone who can't claim it for themselves." Callie Hart has become one of those authors that I just want to read no matter her genre, She hooked me with the Blood and Roses Series, and kept me hooked. I have waited in anticipation for this book since the end of the Blood & Roses books, when she left us a teaser in the back of REBEL. That was it I knew that we would find out what was behind the enigmatic Prez of The Widow Makers. Rebel was a character who was an enigma, who was painted as a Dark Unforgiving Leader of a ruthless gang of criminal bikers. But you can't judge a book by its cover!The layers are peeled back in this book, we are given glimpses to Rebel's past, how he runs his crew, and how he became involved in Slone Romera's Missing Sister Alexis (Sophia).In the space of an evening and late night read, she's hooked me again on not 1 book but 2 (??? you are saying - well all I am going to say on that point is read ALL the pages, carry on reading after the end and click the link, and then all will be revealed) Rebel is the first of s a 3 part series, but the book does not leave you hanging like Deviant did, so its not too bad, Callie has been kind to her readers in this book by ending it at a logical Plot pause, leaving you happy with the progress in Rebel and Sophia's relationship, but keeping you hooked enough to know that this book is only the taste of things to come.Now there is not a lot of sex in this book (I can't believe some people have reduced a rating for that!) BUT I for one am GLAD that there is no "insta-Love" I mean COME ON!!! who in there right mind is going to want to jump your captures bones in the first 5 minutes!I am glad that Callie had the integrity to stay the course and write this in a believable way, in Blood & Roses we were left wondering how on earth Sophia would have left her family in the dark, but in this series Callie has shown in just the first installment how lines get blurred and answers no longer are black and white, but shades of MURKY GREY.I started this book at 4pm, and I just couldn't stop reading until the end... around 3am this morning!The writing style is descriptive, we get flashbacks of Rebel's past, we have characters who are introduced and will obviously become more key as the books go along. Of course there are those who are going to end up casualties of the WAR that is going to happen because of the actions of a certain Cartel Drug lord, if you have read Blood & Roses some of the characters will be familiar.IF you haven't then you won't have a problem reading this book, then jumping to Deviant (which is FREE) while you wait for the next installment of Deadmans Ink.So Kudos Callie - Can't wait to get my hands on the REAL DEAL Paperback in March!! WHOOP WHOOP.ARC generously provided by the author for the Release tour in exchange for an honest review (but as you can see from the above statement - I am buying it!)I recommend this series if you have wanted to read an MC book but you are not too sure if you are ready for all that MC Violence and Mayhem. This is more than just an excuse to write about bad boy bikers with tats - its a story of a man who would stop at nothing to find justice for those who can't get it themselves. A WELL DESERVED :
