Review: Depraved

Depraved by Bella J.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Obsession. It’s an ugly thing.”

Let me start off by saying this is my first Bella J read and I can promise it won’t be my last. I’m a huge MC fan since I first watch Jax Teller in SOA so when I say I loved an MC novel you know the author just won a special place in my heart. Now on to the book…

*DEPRAVED is a dark MC Romance with scenes that might offend sensitive readers*

Depraved is book one in the American Street Kings. In this story, you follow Granite and Alyx. Granite is the President of the King and Alyx is the police commissioner’s daughter. I know you’re thinking how in the world did these two even cross paths? Now, I want you to ask yourselves this… Are the PCs ever honest or on the straight and narrow? Lord no! They always need some to do the dirty work.

“The only person who can allow them to break you… is you.”

The relationship began as an Obsession for Granite and Infatuation for Alyx. Granite only wanted his innocent ballerina who he’d be watching for years. Whereas Alyx loved to dream about the dark, burly biker.

“It’s time, Ballerina Girl.”

Then life got flipped upside down with a kidnapping and a nightmare. Want to know more? You’re going to have to read the book because I’m not giving the good stuff away!

“With every war you need to fight in your life, your mind would be the battlefield. If you could control the battlefield you could win the war.”

Bella J… This is for you! What? Why? That ending gutted me! However, I did love me some Granite and Alyx. Thank you for allowing Haney Hayes Promotions to review for you.

Print Length: 355 pagesPublisher: Self-Published

Publication Date: October 15, 2019

Cal Olin is a grudging member of the Immorti. A resurrected Aztec warrior, he knows he has much to atone for but doesn’t believe waiting for an enemy who hasn’t appeared in hundreds of years is the best way to do it. He’d prefer to spend his time in his CEO role with Civica, an organization dedicated to righting wrongs.

However, when Cal sees the unconscious body of a woman near a magical portal, he knows the long period of peace has come to an end. He’s shocked to discover the woman is Dr. Iliana Rogers, Civica’s second-in-command. The beautiful, argumentative thorn in his side has managed to open the gate and set off a chain reaction that could end the world. Is she an agent of evil or an unknowing pawn? He has to find out.

Nightmares have taken over Iliana’s dreams and with Cal, she no longer feels alone. But when he breaks into her house and tells her, incredibly, that he’s immortal, she knows she’s been living an illusion. It’s a shock to find out he was telling the truth and that her own mother was an agent of the malevolent Nilohum—and that she herself is fated to end the world.

As Iliana searches for the truth, Cal struggles with a terrible choice: does he help the woman he loves, or does he stop the end of the world and risk Iliana’s love…and life?

Ruth lives in Rothley, Leicestershire, England with her space obsessed husband Simon and her black cat Violet, who just wants a warm knee. She found her love of books at a young age and remembers the smell of the old library on her monthly visits with her mum. Together they would bring home books of many different genres and Ruth quickly moved from reading teen novels to digesting adult books.

Ruth was always afraid of horror films, she remembers the time her mum bought her The Thing to watch, thinking it a nice science fiction film. Ruth was terrified and her feelings for horror films remained until her mid twenties, when, suddenly she began to appreciate horror films and began reading Urban Fantasy books. Vampire films quickly became a favourite and the idea for her debut novel slowly began to take place.

Currently Ruth is writing the sequel to Origin of the Vampire and when she isn't writing and promoting her book she loves to relax by drawing portraits. The great outdoors is a big passion and holidays in The Lake District and by the sea in Cornwall and Dorset give Ruth great inspiration. But it was walking in the woods close to home where Ruth had her eureka moment and worked out the final piece of the puzzle for her debut novel. Walking in the countryside near home remains a weekly ritual, and of course coffee and cake is essential before returning home.
