Thank you for sharing your thoughts on "Dante's Demons" by K. L. Barstow. Your review provides a clear and enticing glimpse into the book's storyline and its appeal. The way you described the characters' dedication to seeking justice and the club's sense of family is particularly intriguing. It's also helpful that you mentioned the book's content warnings, which will help potential readers make an informed choice.Laney K wrote: ↑30 Jan 2023, 07:27 [Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Dante's Demons" by K.L. Barstow.]
Dante's Demons by K. L. Barstow is a story of romance and vengeance. When a half-dead woman is found near the entrance to a motorcycle club, the members swear to find out who brutalized her and give him a fitting punishment. The president of the club, Dante, finds out the victim's sister, Tally, is a doctor and has her brought to the club to care for her sister. Tally and Dante meet, and sparks fly as they can't keep their eyes off each other. Dante finds a new obsession in Tally, and she can't help but feel attracted to Dante. Tally, who was brought in against her will, is reasonably upset with Dante, but that isn't enough to stop the attraction they feel as their relationship develops alongside the search for the rapist.
This book was enticing from start to finish. I found myself fascinated in seeing the characters follow leads to try and find the man who attacked Tally's sister and several other women. The members of the club worked diligently to uncover the serial rapist and bring about their own brand of justice. My favorite part was seeing how each member used their specific skill set to do their part to find the rapist. They also embraced Tally and her sister, showing their loyalty to anyone considered to be family, even if they had only known them for a few days.
The pacing of the book followed the urgency of the plot. There were no points where I felt like there wasn't something happening that advanced either the case or Tally and Dante's developing relationship. I can think of nothing that I didn't like about it. I also only spotted a few errors throughout the book, so I believe it was professionally edited.
I am happy to rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. Barstow created a sense of tension and urgency from the first page the continued to the last. It's not a particularly long book either, so it's perfect for a rainy afternoon or day at the beach.
There is strong language and erotic scenes; it is only suitable for adult readers. It should not be read by those who dislike sexual content, as there are several erotic scenes in the book. There are also instances of rape and sexual harassment, which might be triggering for some readers. However, readers that enjoy vigilante justice and romance should highly consider reading this book.
