Review: Sicko

 


Title: Sicko

Author: Amo Jones

Release Date: September 2020



He was my foster brother. 

He swore to protect me.

He failed.

They all failed.

I’m an open box of passé photographs, snapped in chaste daylight, but filtered in sepia. I’m the past that he tried to forget, and he was the future I needed. When he left six years ago, I screamed for him every night. But then it all stopped. My screams were suddenly muffled by cruelty, and further coaxed by pain.

But he has come back. He’s not the cute big brother I had a furtive crush on, or the bad boy, rich brat that I hated to love.

He’s the ruthless vice president of Wolf Pack MC, and he doesn’t answer to Royce Kane anymore.

He answers to Sicko.



Wow. Where do I even begin with this book? 

Ok, so Jade and Royce are foster siblings. Royce was overprotective of his younger sister, and would do anything to protect her- even if that anything means leaving town. Now years later, what was once Jade's cute brother that she grew up having a crush on, is the vice president of a MC and answers to Sicko, is back in her life, to do what he can to protect his little sister... But it might be too late for Jade. 

So first let me say this book is Dark with trigger warnings. If you are looking for a cute romance this ain't it. -It does feature rape and sexual abuse, so be warned. 

Jade was fierce, growing up from a fun loving girl with a loving and protective older brother and his friends to someone who is badass, helping those she could around her and going to school in the medical field. Going away to college she thought she could get away from the evil that lurked in the night, but it followed her anyways. 

Royce was the guy who had it all. Rich, gets anything he ever wants, has the looks and girls, and a younger sister he loves with everything in him. So when her life is threatened he does the one thing he thinks to do to try and keep her safe- he leaves. He comes back, years later, stronger and more powerful then ever; but now, what they once loved- each other- brings them hate. And Royce has his eyes trained on Jade and what Royce wants... Royce gets. 

This book was loaded down with angst and the foster siblings romance but it was dark, and if you have triggers to either go in prepared or skip this one. 

But I enjoyed this book. I loved the romance between Royce and Jade. And I felt for Jade and all she had been through. If you love MC romances then I recommend Sicko. 4.5 forbidden ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.

  Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.  This week, I got my preorder of Onyx Storm in (bday present), and we did my daughter's 10th bday party- she did bowling & invited a ton of friends! She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.  Also here are the vibes I bring to the function but truthfully I probably won't go to the function - I am an introvert & don't people very well 😂😂 but it was a fun challenge to do on IG & TT either way. Do we share anything in common?  What I Read This Week:  Title: Onyx Storm  Series: The Empyrean  Author: Rebecca Yarros Review | Goodreads | Purchase Quote: “I am yours and you ...

  So this past weekend my aunt passed away.  But on a more positive note, this was my daughter's last week of school. She had half days all week and now she is home for summer break until after Labor Day in September.  And I finished up two books. We started rewatching Dexter, and watching season two of Perfect Match.  What I Read This Week:  Title: Leather & Lark Series: The Ruinous Love trilogy Author: Brynne Weaver   Release Date: June 04 So I love these characters, but this story had a lot of fluff, and at the end felt a little rushed. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here .  Title: Lights Out  Author: Navessa Allen   Rereleases August 06, 2024  I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was fun, and sexy and a great, quick read. 4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here What I Watched This Week:  What I Listened To This Week:  Weekly Meme:    Recent Releases  | Upcoming Releases  |  Freebies Title:...

Weekly Newsletter - June 13

  As my daughter's school year is winding down, they are trying to cram more things in it - from chorus concerts, to a play, to fun days, and field trips and parties... So it's been a bit hectic.  Also, last Thursday went to run errands before my daughter's chorus concert, & to grab Leather & Lark from Walmart (live in a small town. Walmart is the only place to buy books locally). And they were completely sold out 😭 So I ordered it online (Amazon "2 day shipping" still takes a week 😒). Plus I got a book last week - only UPS left it in a puddle. 😭 We were all home. Could have knocked or even honked or SOMETHING - but no. So also waiting on the replacement for that was well.  Also, I tried to convince my husband we needed to go to B&N in NYC (which is like 7 hours south of us give or take 😂😂) to meet Brynne Weaver to no success.  Annnddd... I tried the challenge of getting my husband to buy my wishlist for me for likes on social media... He wouldn...
