Alarick by Bella Jewel is one of those books that bounce back and forth between the past and the present, giving you tidbits of information each time. You know something happened to ruin the relationships that Briella had with everyone and caused her to run away, but you don’t know what exactly the cause was.
Briella and her sister, Magnolia get new step-siblings, Alarick and Sissy, when their mom marries the president of an MC, King. King is the dad Briella never had. He treats her just like his own.
Briella has had a crush on her older stepbrother for as long as she can remember, but he is seven years older than her. It isn’t right. Alarick hasn’t ever thought of Briella as a sister. She is so much more than that. But the age difference makes it illegal until she’s eighteen.
Briella has been gone for five years, but when her sister goes missing she must return home to find her before she can allow herself to get her brain tumor removed. When she is forced to go to the MC for help, it doesn’t go well since she just up and left with no goodbye.
When Briella comes back Alarick is very angry about it. Why would she have the nerve to come back when she left them without saying goodbye before?
Will he help her find her sister? Will she tell him what happened all those years ago that made her leave? Will they put the past behind them and become what they always wanted?
Bella Jewel does well at keeping you on the edge of your seat, wondering what happened to Magnolia, and what caused Briella to run away.
WARNING: I feel like it ends in a cliffhanger.
Wow!! I wasn’t sure about this story at first. I usually love what Bella Jewel puts out. The FMC rubbed me the wrong way at first and the back and forth with the time line I’m not a fan of. I understand that it establishes a lot of the story and in this case I made an exception. I loved the plot of the story. I loved where she took the story.
It does end on a cliffhanger.
The reason for 3 stars is the proofreading. This author isn’t usually this bad at it. Maybe someone that knows her will see this review and let her know.
The first book in a new MC series from Bella Jewel and I’m hooked on the characters and stroyline. It took me awhile to get into the book as it kept going from past to present but once I did I was totally invested. Alarick and Brielle have a history and when she returns all those past feelings and hurts come rushing back. Although this is the story of Brielle reconnecting with her family and Alarick there is a mystery running throughout which will carry on in future books in the series.
Good grief! This one really played with my emotions. So much hurt, pain and misunderstandings. But despite this Briella is adamant to find her sister unearthing don’t go the way she would like.
This MC was family at one time but so much has been said and done that can’t be taken back. Can it be resolved and forgiven before it’s too late?
Not going to lie, my heart ached whilst reading this and at one point I couldn’t see the words for tears!
Great read! In to read Flick now!
In one word this book is AWESOME. I love it when Bella Jewel does another MC story for there is no telling where she will go and Alaric and Briella is proof of that in this one. We have Briella, a young girl who never believed in dangerous people or even knew about clubs like the Descendants until King and Alarick. One minute she is just growing up learning about life and boys then the next she is thrust into death, betrayal, lies but most of all heartbreak. Then we have Alarick who has tried to be the man he is destined to be but when it comes to Briella he has no control of his heart towards her. One minute he wants nothing to do with her then the next Bella Jewel shows us a side of him that has been missing. Briella is the light in his dark world right now and boy when they come together watch out it is nothing you expect but hotter than ever. Once again Bella Jewel’s books, especially her MC books are not for the vanilla sex readers but the ones that are looking for more than just sweet but want the all consuming love this author has it. Loved it and this is just the first part excited to see what she does with the second part.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
This is the 1st book in a new series and what an awesome introduction Alarick and Briella’s story is. This is a well written story which is filled with angst, mystery, action, secrets, drama, and love. I was hooked throughout and cannot wait to read Flick next. I recommend for all MC lovers.
This book truly blew me away. I love stories that have more to them then you can see, this book has so many turns that it left me gasping. The heartbreaking journey these characters take was one I will remember and reread again and again. I love how Bella Jewel writes, she writes stories that have more substance than most. She gives her readers characters that are complex and interesting.
I have to say that this was a nice surprise. My heart broke for Briella. She lost everything and on top of it she is sick as well.
Now she went home to find her sister and that didn’t go as well either, but at least she was home with her family. Even though that family was a bunch of bikers. She knew she was where she was meant to be.
Now all she needed to do was find her sister and sort out the trouble she has find herself in.
This book actually kept me intrigued from the start and I literally finished in one go. Now I need the next book to see where this road is taking Briella and Alarick.
