After the death of her mother and her father abandoning her, Ruby Jane grew up in foster care. Due to her father being the king of the underground people think that perhaps Ruby was much better off being raised in foster care.
People would be wrong. She’d just traded one monster in for another, an even bigger one.
Now, as an adult, and after the murder of the only family she had left, Ruby finds herself all alone in the world and seeking answers. Answers she has to venture into the underground to find.
Not a safe place for an innocent girl because the underground isn’t just full of criminals. It’s a place of darkness for the real life monsters that most people think are make-believe. The stuff nightmares are made of, that’s what lurks in the underground.
Ruby may be innocent but she’s anything but average. More familiar with monsters than most, she goes looking for answers and a murderer.
And she gets far more than she bargained for.
Review by Twinsie Angie
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
I had zero clue what this book was about but when Mary offered it, I jumped. Imagine my shock and excitement when I saw it was a RH/Paranormal…yes please.
The book starts off with Ruby Jane and her twins being punished. We don’t know why but know it will be part of the story moving forward. Ruby is being raised in an orphanage by a very nasty woman and when she is 18, she us contacted by her dead grandmother’s attorney telling her she is rich. Pride keeps her from accepting the “charity” until her belly grows. Then Pride be damned.
Ruby is thrown into a world that she knows about but isn’t ready for. I mean she walks her butt into the underground strapped with weapons to find her Mate?? WHUTT!! She is none to thrilled. We then mee the other men who will be her harem…..the shifter, the detective, and the hunters aka the twins from childhood.
Ruby has a lot to deal with. But meeting her father wasn’t on the bingo card she planned on playing with. She sure isn’t ready for the demands he makes on her either. The is a great start to a new series. I cant wait to see what happens with all her men and all the ways they should despise each other but work together to be with Ruby Jane.
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
I was excited but a bit nervous when Mary sent me this book. The title and cover of this book did scare me a bit thinking it was going to be a dark story. I have to say once I started reading it, I was hooked and could not put this one down. I absolutely loved Ruby Jane. She is a loner and can take care of herself. She doesn’t need anyone’s help but oh my how she ends up getting it anyway.
Ruby Jane has never had an easy life. She grew up in foster care after being left behind by her parents. She was forced to live with an evil woman but she did have her “twins” there that helped protect her when she was little. When she was older, the only friend she had was her deceased grandmother’s attorney, old man Thomas, that watched over her. Thomas was the only family she had left until one night he was taken from her.
While trying to figure out why Thomas was taken from her she somehow found herself surrounded by all kinds of men that wanted to protect her. Her twins, Bane and Roan, from her childhood were reunited with her. She found a new friend in the detective Johnny Rowans that was assigned to the murder case. Then there is the shifter, Rally, that claimed her as his mate when she went to the underworld to find answers to her friends’ death.
Ruby Jane is used to being on her own and watching her navigate all these new relationships was entertaining. I have to say it was fun to watch the guys interact with one another even though none of them see eye to eye on things except to protect Ruby Jane. To say Ruby Jane will have her hands full is an understatement. I have to say one of the most shocking things was finding out who her father is and how he plays into this was a bit shocking. I am so exited about this series and so ready to find out what happens next with Ruby Jane and her harem of mixed matched men.
Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, and her two beautiful daughters. She’s an avid reader, and when not writing she can be found with her nose stuck in a book.
