Review: The Reign of Kings (Underestimated Series Book 3) by Candice Wright

The Reign of Kings by Candice M. Wright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kings of Carnage Protection

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

Reign is the daughter and sister of cops. Her mother died when she was 5, but her dad and 5 older brothers adore and protect her. Sometimes this can be tedious, but mostly she adores them back. She is unusual as she has been taught how to protect herself, has a degree in mechanical engineering and works as a mechanic. With 6 domineering men in her life she knows how to fight for what she wants and is completely unphased by alpha behaviour.

When Reign acquires a stalker she agrees to her family’s protection until she finds out the threat extends to her family and she runs away in the middle of the night, finding sanctuary with the Kings of Carnage MC mother chapter in Las Vegas.

I really enjoyed this book, as Reign is great fun. She’s a strong determined woman who doesn’t let the caveman attitude of bikers get to her in any way. She trusts her gut instinct and when it tells her she’s safe she doesn’t hold back. The guys are also fun, in particular the psychotic Bates.

There is a lot complex plotting going on with this book. The author takes you in several different directions at once, which leads you to take leaps of faith that you know what’s going on, until you find out it was all misdirection. It’s clever writing, and something that this author excels at.

The only niggle I have with the book is that though Reign gets her HEA, her stalker situation isn’t totally resolved. There’s a big loose end flapping in the breeze and I hate that. Especially when the book that deals with that loose end doesn’t come out until 2021! That’s a long time to be niggled about something. It also felt like the book ended abruptly because the stalker issue is to be resolved in the next book, which meant that Reign and her guys don’t really get to relax and have fun in their relationship, in this book, without it hanging over their heads. Again it’s a niggle, but it detracts from the quality of the rest of the book.
