Lady Death: Rage, Romance, and a Dash of Cute

Here's your polished review with minor tweaks for clarity and flow:

A traumatized female assassin fueled by rage and out for vengeance? Um, YES PLEASE! Add in several panic attacks and a supportive biracial male assassin, and I’m SOLD.

This book isn’t just about vengeance and violence; it’s set against a backdrop of hate, racism, misogyny, and homophobia (what else would you expect from a dark romance?). Yet, somehow, it’s also a cute story where new friendships blossom amidst death and destruction, giving this dark romance an unexpectedly heartwarming twist.

It’s definitely on the lighter side of dark romance.

The violence isn’t overly graphic, so if gore isn’t your thing, you’re safe here. It’s a fast-paced read, perfect for when you want something gripping but quick. That said, I wouldn’t have minded a slightly longer book with more of Ronin’s backstory—it would’ve added some extra depth.

This was my first dive into the Death Riders MC series, and while it works perfectly as a standalone,  reading the earlier books would’ve added a layer of depth and extra fun. (Note to self: Go back and start from the beginning!).

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
