Rebels & Rejects

Black Creek, Book 1

De: R.A. Smyth

Narrado por: Curt Bonnem, Kasi Hollowell, Rock Engle, Bradley Ford

Blood will be shed. Lives will be lost. Retribution will be dealt.

I work in the darkness that is Black Creek. If there’s a secret to uncover, a package to deliver, or a story to be told, I’m your girl. I'll do whatever it takes to provide for my little brother.

Once upon a time, the Feral Beasts ruled Black Creek with an iron fist, but they’re long gone now. The Antonelli family stepped in, only caring about their family and their money.

I’ve heard the whispers: the Reaper Rejects are growing and they want control of Black Creek. But this town isn’t big enough for both of them.

When the leaders of the Rejects ask for my help, I’m reluctant. Trouble follows gang life. I shouldn’t want to get involved, but Oliver knows just how to tempt me, and the pain in Cain’s eyes calls to my need for vengeance.

A war is coming and this town has never been more deadly.

Rebels & Rejects is a dark gang-mafia romance intended for adult listeners. It is book one in the Black Creek series that will ultimately end in an HEA. The FMC will end up with multiple love interests.

Needs more back story

It was good, not great. Easy to follow along with, but quite predictable. Not exactly a “dark” read.

Definitely and bunch of Rebels and Rejects in this

This is an explosive beginning to this series and will definitely keep you interested all the way through. Loved that there are multiple narrators since this is from multiple POVs. Diving right into book two!!

Degradation

I don't dislike dominant men but degradation makes me sick. I had a hard time with this book from the beginning as it's set it a world where women are nothing and treated like trash.
I quit after chapter 12 when Kane, who is supposed to be a member of Sawyer's harem uses Sawyer while calling her disgusting names in a "steamy" scene that had me shaking in rage.

the narration was good.

Nice slow burn but no RHM yet

This is a nice book, not too angsty and not about teenagers. The FMC is really cool and the
guys are a good mix of sexy, mysterious snd angry.
However… that first sex scene nearly made me stop listening. It was so badly written ”her hands squeeze my hard pectorals as she takes in my chiseled chin and well trained body ” I kid you not! And it gets worse from that.
The sex does get better after that first scene though. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great

Great book so far I love that it’s different than all the others that are all the same
