Priest by Raven Amor, Amy Thorn
1.0

Nope. Definitely not. This was bloody awful. I’m not quite sure where to even start when it comes to this one, because I honestly don’t think there was a single thing I liked here.

Most importantly, I absolutely despised the romance. I’m not even sure if I can call it such, since there wasn’t a shred of love to be found between these two.
The horror of it already began at the very beginning. Priest is taken prisoner by his rival motorcycle club and they also kill his best friend in the whole wide world. Obviously he’s all angry and ragey about it, but fear not! Because while he is being strung up and beaten within an inch of his life, Priest still finds the time to admire one of his enemy’s good looks. The lust he feels for Nico is instant, so they start hooking up pretty much immediately. This, of course, all happens while Priest is still being tortured. Sure. Okay. Lovely.
Then, after a little while, Nico helps him escape because they’re apparently in love somehow, so he doesn’t want Priest to die and he hates his own club anyway. Alright, fine, I’ll roll with it.
However, what do you think happens after that? Nico delivers Priest to his friends and as a thanks he is beaten to a pulp, treated like an animal, and that’s that. Eventually Priest puts a stop to the torture, but he still treats Nico like absolute trash. You’d think the guy would be grateful, but noooo way. He’s not. He acts as if Nico is no more than the dirt beneath his shoe and Nico just stands there and takes it.
The worst of it is that this all goes on for the entire rest of the book. It doesn’t even get better in any way. It sucked and I hated it so much. This relationship was absolutely terrible.

The plot was dreadfully boring as well, because it couldn’t possibly be any more repetitive.
And then that ending scene where Nico killed his ENTIRE clubhouse while armed only with a freaking knife? Please. I could hardly contain my laughter. It was ridiculous. All of it was.
