I wanted to love this book. I've been looking for a good kraken book since Lillian Larks Stalked by the Kraken and I was excited that this one was a RH.
1. It wont make me dnf a book, but I don't particularly love when men in RH talk about "bitches" like every woman other than their own is one. I get the whole motorcycle club thing. Thats not what Im talking about.
2. This might be a selling point for some people so I wanted to mention.... this men in this harem almost gave me a Den of Vipers vibe. Not fully, but just...a similarity or a vibe. One of the guys is a pain-loving psycho so.... enjoy.

I loved it so much. An amazing spin on supernatural biker gang with a badass female and absolutely hot guys 🥵

The plot was spectacular and the way it developed, I was hooked from the beginning 🤞 And the plot line of Queenie singlehandedly destroying the Roughest Waves was so freaking awesome 😍

The s*x scenes were mind blowing and the relationship development and the way the emotions were described was perfect 💯

The ending was so satisfying though I would have loved an epilogue 💙

DID NOT FINISH: 6%

2 Stars

This is one of those books that sounded promising from the blurb, but I actually hated once I started reading it.

Let me start of by saying that I really liked the FMC. She was fierce, strong, knew her own worth, and didn't take shit from anyone. The problems started for me once the MMCs started showing up.

Every single one of the MMCs that I met in the 6% of the book that I managed to make it through were assholes. Without exception.
They were also extremely sexist. All of them referred to women, including the FMC, as bitches.

"Bitch randomly appeared in front of my bike," he supplies cooly.MMC #1

I've never felt possessive over a bitch before.MMC #2

I shouldn't care about some bitch who was in the wrong place at the wrong time [...] — MMC #3

All of those quotes are in relation to the FMC.

Also, MMC #1 accidentally hits her with his water bike/jet ski/whatever and then sees that she's been stabbed. He contemplates leaving her to die, then decides it would look bad for their club if she washes up dead on their shore, so he grudgingly decides to take her back to get medical help. At this point he starts to get horny since she's naked, and has to tell himself to stop. Because you know, she's halfway dead and needs urgent medical care. What a PoS.

Then there's MMC #3, who's described as being "late forties or early fifties", coming in with this gem after he starts lusting over the injured FMC:

I force myself to get a grip. She's half my fucking age. Not that I think it matters much. A lot of the club honeys are way younger than me and I've fucked them all.

And it's about this time that MMC #3 decides to lock her up in their compound and deny her both freedom and agency, before threatening to 'discipline' her if she doesn't fall in line and do what he says.

So yeah, I'm done here. I see plenty of misogynists and gross older men lusting after young women in real life, I don't need that garbage in my escapist paranormal romance novels too.
