Weeeeeelllll, this was an interesting read. I actually thought it was a new adult novel, but it's not. It's a bit too rude/swear-y for that. Which isn't a problem, I just thought this was going to be a new adult book. But, never fear, Chaos Bound was an intriguing read. I've never read a book about a motorcycle gang - and I'm not really sure I would want to again, because they are a vicious bunch. Locking people up for months on end (Holt) or kidnapping a lass at her mother's funeral because her mother owes them a debt (Naiya). Motorcycle gangs really don't get a good rep in this book, even the Sinners, who are kinda OK, but also really violently vicious.

For what it's worth, this was an intriguing read, makes me glad I read it, and to know to steer clear in future as reading about motorcycle gangs who like to kill each other make me feel weird/nauseous/mildly frightened. There's also a very good chance I could never watch Sons of Anarchy, as I suspect that is much, much worse. What I liked was that Holt and Naiya were kinda the same people, in many ways, and seeing them look out for each other, in their revenge mission was sweet, kinda (because they were, after all, still trying to kill someone, although Viper really did deserve for people to kill him, because he really was horrifically awful).

On the flip side, it drove me to the edge of distraction to read about sweet butts. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A SWEET BUTT IS BUT OH MY GOD HOW DEGRADING A TERM. It's clearly a term for girls who hang around motorcycle clubs, but if I had done a shot for every mention of the word sweet butt, I would have been drunk before I was even a quarter through the book. It riled me up so much I'm writing about it!!!! If I never see that word/term again it will be too soon.

Chaos Bound was an intriguing read, I read it in a couple of days and the chemistry between Holt and Naiya was fantastic, although Tank was my favourite character. I loved Tank, he seemed to sweet and sensitive, despite his name. I feel like if I'd read the other books in the series I would probably have had a better handle on this book, but as a standalone it worked, you just felt like there were bits missing, holes that needed filling, etc, but apart from that it was an interesting, enjoyable read.
