Thunder Road

Badlands, Book 7

By: Morgan Brice

Narrated by: Kale Williams

Simon and Vic are home from their honeymoon, just in time for a brand new case!

Mysterious missing person reports, a cursed motorcycle club, and an ancient entity add up to trouble. A bad bargain to stop a long-ago gang war requires a yearly sacrifice from a tightly-knit group of riders, and even their coven of witches hasn't been able to stop the deaths.

Then the granddaughter of a former lighthouse keeper comes to Simon for help. When the lighthouses were automated, they lost their live-in guardians, who worked protective spells to shield the coast from killer storms and a murderous creature. Those protections are fading, and an old evil has gained power, growing stronger with every life it claims.

Can Simon and Vic end the deaths and disappearances, or have they finally found a foe too powerful to stop?

Thunder Road is an action-packed MM paranormal romance chock full of old magic, protective guardians, found family, an ancient monster, brave motorcyclists, helpful ghosts, loyal friends, psychic visions, hurt/comfort, supernatural suspense, and an evolving, established romantic relationship with all the feels.

Contains mature themes.

Excepted more…

I absolutely love this series. And the narrator is amazing.
But this book kinda felt rushed and lacking the plot. There’s a plot. It’s magic and ghost and paranormal, but it’s missing that mystery element that the other books had. Everything is so obvious from the beginning and then it’s just to see how they fix it. Cause off course they will fix it.

This was disappointing.

I’ve enjoyed this series and other books from the author, but this installment is definitely not up to par. The others have done really well sticking to the story world’s logic and been very consistent with character actions and reasoning for all the characters. I’ve enjoyed that steadiness. This book has so many unanchored story elements and forced character choices that it was more frustrating than entertaining. It seems as though the author came up with the climactic scene, then struggled to force the characters and story into line to get there.

I sincerely hope that any future books will be written more in line with the care and thought given to previous volumes.
