Release Day: Underworld Champions - Blood War by Ella Stone


Synopsis
After the conflict that devastated the Outlaw Rider compound, Cole and his men have sworn revenge on the Demon Brothers – and it won’t be over until the Demon’s club is no more.

Most importantly, Cole needs to hunt down his half-brother, Cutter. He can’t rest knowing that the man who defiled his woman is still out there. Family or not, after what he did to Maddie, Cutter needs to die – painfully.

Cole’s hatred of the Demon Brothers is so much greater than everyone else’s. You see, they took his mother and turned his blood against him. As far as he’s concerned, blood ties or none, they all need to die.

But are they all as evil as he thinks?

As Cole’s hatred consumes him, Maddie’s belly grows, along with her concern for him. His vendetta is taking over his life and she’s afraid that once he’s fulfilled his vow, there will be a mere shell of the man she loves, left behind.

Will the love the Cole and Maddie share be enough to save Cole from the darkness he’s entrenched himself in, or will this BLOOD WAR be the thing that ruins them all?


Excerpt

 
Starting his bike, he grips the back of my head pulling me in for a final kiss before riding out the gate, out of my sight and possibly my life - I can't stop this horrible feeling that I'm never going to see him again.


Cora comes up beside me and places her arm around my waist. I sag against her, already feeling so weak from today. Cora and my mother are the only two who know exactly what's going on with me, and I plan to keep it that way. I don't see the point in worrying everybody else unnecessarily when there's nothing that can be done.


“He’ll be back before you know it,” she says, watching the empty street with me. “How about we go and stare at the beautiful little girl of yours for a while? She's so sweet she could cheer anyone up.”


Wiping at my eyes, I nod and walk slowly beside her, taking notice when I see Monique watching me as she leans against one of the poles under the clubhouse awning. I can see that she knows something is going on, but she doesn’t question me about it. She knows better than to do that. This is Old Lady business, and she isn’t one of us yet.

As I turn my head away from her, my vision suddenly blurs, and the last thing I hear is my name being yelled as slip out of Cora’s arms and collapse on the ground.    


Review

This book is the continuation of Cole and Maddie's story.
Cole is out trying to find the man who hurt Maddie, his half brother. He wants revenge and he wants it NOW, family and friendships be damned. Maddie feels guilty that all of this damage is being done and regrets coming back, she misses Cole but hopes that he'll be back by the time she delivers their baby.
But sometimes the desire for revenge and doing the right thing is not all that was set up to be and it changes people. Would Maddie and Cole's relationship survive the hardship?
This was a very violent and dark story and it's not for everybody. There's a disconnect between the main characters and it might very well be to add more angst to the story but is palpable.
 As the reader you can sense that the author cares deeply for the story and her characters. We will have to wait and see what she has in store for us in the next and last book of this series. Beware: this books ends in a cliffhanger.
