Den of Vipers by K a Knight

Den of Vipers

by K.A. Knight

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel—The Vipers.

They run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses.

Yes, sold me.

They own me now.

I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and won’t stop until they get just that. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart.

The Vipers? I’m going to make them regret the day they took me.

This girl? She bites too.

I'm still trying to process how I loved this book. I thought I had read dark romance before, but this is a whole new level of dark romance.... And I loved it. What the heck is wrong with me?

I want to point out that even though this is a reverse harem, each relationship felt so profound and unique, but at the same time, it NEVER crossed my mind how it would work for all of them to be together, to share Roxy. Usually, I question how they will come to terms with it, how they'll approach the subject, etc. But these dudes never even fully discussed. Their family bond is so strong, it holds through anything.

Each one of the male characters stole my heart, even Diesel... Especially Diesel. (See? I need to check myself in a mental institution.) This "crazy bastard" as Roxy calls him, put on an invisibility cloak and snuck his way into my heart.

And Garrett... Ugh *wipes tears* His story tore my heart the most. I just wanted to huge him at every turn. He deserves all the attention and love in the world.

And Kenzo! Out of all of them, I felt like I could identify with him a lot. I loved just how sane and put-together he is, while every now and then unleashing the dark side of him.

Lastly, Ryder. He's the one I was more detached from, but even then, I can't stop thinking about him and all he has gone through to defend his found family, the Vipers.

I can't leave Roxy out. That girl... I have a crush on her. Like, for real. I need more females like her, the ones who stay fierce until the end, the ones who will always fight, the ones who aren't scared to protect themselves, the ones who embrace what life throws at them and come out stronger than ever. Because that's exactly how Roxy was in the story. I know Roxy is a female character I won't forget any time soon, if ever. She's my first girl crush!

The story did get lengthened more than it should have. The last few chapters could have not existed, but it was still a great story. I did skip some very gory scenes, though.

Overall, this story will live in my heart forever, especially the amazing characters!
