Darker then the first two but maybe even more powerful because of it!
I have been sucked into the world of the American Street Kings since book 1 and I am loving their story! Living in their world is messy, deadly, tragic, scary but their love for their brotherhood and women is a light that keeps pulling you through!
Onyx and Wraith are such an amazing couple who come together during one of the bigger high stakes times in the Kings world! It is not as cut and dried as you may think and you need to keep and open mind throughout and definitely want a box of tissues!
Lead on to more of the American Street Kings- Bella J as I am happily following your words!
The American Street Kings are total bad asses.
Onyx – book 3 – is no exception.
Onyx and Wraith are intense.
Passionate.
Forbidden.
Taboo.
They can’t happen.
They shouldn’t happen.
Can circumstance keep love apart?
WarningWarning……I’ll go head and say it now, if you have triggers, this book is not for you I repeat not for you. These characters gutted me, I boohooed like a baby, the pain, the sadness, I felt like someone was ripping out my heart little by little for these two. The love they have for each other make them stronger and more driven not to give up, love is truly the best medicine for all time. Author Bella J, you’re magnificent, you truly are, your words flew off these pages, you gave this couple a voice, thank you.
Fantastic and Riveting
Deranged is book three in the American Street Kings series and wow is it a fantastic and completely captivating story. Yes it has a lot of dark stuff to it as it is a MC series but it also has a lot of really deep and sinfully delicious stuff to it.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This series is getting darker and better as I read each book. I do strongly suggest reading these books in orders. Loved the plot, loved the characters, love the series!

Wraith comes in like a hurricane and Onyx doesn’t know what to do, but he knows he is willing to weather the storm. Onyx is weathering his own kind of storm and he is at a crossroads, one bad decision will destroy everything. When secrets are revealed it may not only destroy Onyx but it may damage Wraith in a way that even Onyx cannot fathom. Such an amazingly gritty and compelling story. Characters that I love and want more of. Highly recommended and I can’t wait for Neon and Ink’s story next.

Genre : Dark Romance, MC.
Rating : 5 Stars + –
Aphrodite. Powerful. Potent. Intense.
Even Onyx can not beheld this story, he didn’t expect himself getting such a major blow that it could instantly top the charts up. Because it did. Ladies & Dirty Men, Onyx’s story will wreck you in the best ways if you have somehow survived from the previous two books. It has a balance of Romance. Tease. Angst. Lots & lots of angst. Lies. Defiance. Secrets. More revenge!! I love BELLA J. I can’t stop myself from reading her stories. They are original, realistic and so edgy. Her stories master in the emotions that we feel. No author could top out such an amazing trope the way our queen does. Kudos to such a talent. Sometimes, even words are not enough to describe this young woman’s experience!
Beginning with the story, we are introduced to Onyx who has been hell bent on declining the position of a President in American Kings Club while the rest of the crew aren’t taking no for an answer. This book was comparatively lighter than the previous books, it had humor and some laugh out moments on quite a greater extent. If you thought Granite was your alphalicious hero than you’re fucking wrong. Think twice. This is a classic Bella’s story trait. You drool for the main leads always like an addict an crazed maniac. This won’t be any different. Onyx is the ultimate alpha-hole, obsessive and possessive motherfucker on a hunt for that one curvy short stranger who stole his heart in the middle of nowhere. But things does not pen out as one wishes in this author’s world, does it? I bet my ass!
It was somehow predictable at one point but those scenes made me want to stay away for a long time, man. The women in this story goes through some serious major jerk faces. They literally tolerate them. All for what? Their loves… How romantic!
I will turn this city upside down for you, woman. I swear to God. I will look for you. And I won’t stop until I have found you. You hear me?
Now, give me what I have been waiting for since Depraved. INK <3 MINE!
Third book in the American Street Kings series and it is a riveting read! It is well thought out, dark, gritty, steamy, emotionally deep, and raw. An on the edge of your seat captivating, heart-wrenching read that is full, nail-biting suspense, twists and turns, and heart-racing adventure that will make your heart beat out of your chest as the drama unfolds. The characters are relatable, likeable, and strong. This is a gripping series and it gets better with each book. Definitely recommended!

Deranged is book three in the American Street Kings series and with each book the series gets better and better. In this book we get Onyx and Wraith’s story. He’s the new MC President and she’s the beautiful woman with secrets who stole his heart. This book has it all well developed characters, secrets, danger, betrayal, steam, twists and an ending that had me on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Can Onyx and Wraith have a future
This is the book 3 in the American Street Kings series. Granite wants to step down as President of the club so Onyx can take over to go after Slither without breaking Granite’s word. Yet Onyx’s refusal to step up is hindering the club’s future as Slither further takes control of their business. When Wraith steps in to the bar, Onyx experiences tunnel vision for the first time with a woman. Yet Wraith continues to show up and disappear without a trace, keeping Onyx unsettled. You won’t want to put the book down until you turn the last page to see Onyx and Wraith’s future and if the Kings will go to war against Slither and the Pythons.
What an emotional and powerful struggle Onxy and Wraith have. Two people who come together against the odds.

So many triggers in this brutal, violent, and painful MC romance featuring Onyx and Wraith.
Slither was still the main nemesis whose evil managed to permeate this storyline to fill the plot with brutal pain. I kept hoping for a shred of humanity in him especially towards the end with Wraith.
Not for the faint of heart as the injustice and their horrible back story had me feeling a bit sick.
Hate to imagine that this kind of evil actually exists which made me feel even worse.
This worthwhile couple find their HFN, but the bigger storyline was left open ended yet again.

So freaking good!!
I just knew that I was going to fall in love with Onyx and boy did I ever. That man! Geez He and Wrath make a great couple, they are the type of characters that you love to read about.
Deranged is exciting and heartbreaking. There are secrets and one explosive story. We leave off with this book on the edge of our seats and the author gave us just enough of the next book to make our heads and hearts explode. So looking forward to Inks book!

*Review by Michelle
This series just gets better and better. Deranged will have your mind reeling and your senses tingling as all is not as it seems. As Onyx and Wraith cross paths the chemistry and attraction that draws them together is unstoppable. Their desires, secrets and the lies that are fast unraveling will hold you captive to the pages. This gritty MC romance will make you angsty and have you on the edge of your seat. A story that is sometimes confronting and oh so dark but also packed with an unwavering love. The American Street Kings crew have burrowed their way deep under my skin and firmly planted themselves on my heart.
Deranged is an intense roller coaster ride of action, passion, heat and well, deranged (in the best if ways). Onyx is the definition of alpha, strong and determined. I really loved reading his story.
The heat between Onyx and Wraith is beyond instant and so intense that I might have needed a break, lol. They were perfect for each other and kept each other balanced.
As this is an MC romance, there was grit and action. It was a telling story with emotions galore. Very enjoyable read and my favorite so far in this series of standalone stories. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
HEAT Searing PAIN!
Deliciously hot and emotionally painful is the best way to describe the demanding words this amazing read put me through. It’s intense, heart-wrenching, edgy, action packed and at times hard to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and look forward to reading more.
This is the story of Onyx & Wraith, the third book in the American Street King Series. The title portrays the story perfectly. They meet in a bar & grill. He tried to stay away from her in the beginning, but she showed up almost everywhere he went. There story is very dark, strange, raw and steamy. This whole series is very dark, but not in the way you would think. This is an MC story. It gets to the deep inner feelings of the characters. In the end, it left me with unreal emotions. I had to take a few minutes and just get my head together after it. No other book has done that. I’m thinking the next book, Destroyed, is going to be just as deep and raw. So, looking forward to it. Bella J., you have outdone yourself with this series.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Temptation. It’s a powerful thing. It possesses you. Corrupts you. Turns a pure soul into a reckless beast. Once it has you in its clutches, you can’t escape it. It won’t let go, not until it prevents everything innocent. The day she walked into my life, I should have known It’d never be the same again. Her secrets lured me in, enticed me with truths that would be my ultimate ruin. I had war to win. Battles to fight. But her scent turned me into a crazed hunter, manipulating me down a different path of destruction. in the end, she will be my downfall. Until then…I’ll keep her.
This is the third book in the American Street Kings Series from Bella J. If I was you I would go back and read the other two to have a full understanding of everything that has gone on in this series. Plus they are all equally amazing. I am going to go ahead and tell you that Deranged is a super intense book. If you have read Defiant you know everything that was going on and how on the edge that book kept you. This book is even more intense and will kick up your heart rate and have you perched on the edge of your seat from the beginning to end. This is the story of Onyx who in my opinion has the biggest heart ever and in all the American Street Kings MC and feels things so much more than the other guys do. When he meets Wraith it’s like the world stops turning and things land straight on his shoulders with a sonic boom. This book is amazing. It is so good. I am telling you now if you love MC books you will love this entire series. I can not recommend it enough. Bella J is one of my favorite authors and when you read her books you will see why.
Brilliant MC Romance
Oh wow, DERANGED was so hot, sexy and addictive I loved it!!
DERANGED is action-packed, the heat was definitely turned up in Onyx and Wraith’s story.
I have to say even though I loved the previous books in the series with the American street Kings president Granit, his brother Onyx heated it up on the sexy, alpha male scales, he was hot! swoon-worthy and I absolutely love a woman with backbone something Wraith had in abundance.
When a mysterious Harley riding woman walks into a bar, sexy, attractive, covered in tat’s, she attracts a whole lot of attention. It was definitely lust at first sight for Onyx and something in him felt pulled towards her and protective of her despite her sass.
No sooner had she appeared, she’ was gone and the mystery woman who keeps turning up like a vision becomes like a mystery for Onyx to solve.
Behind the brewing romance, there also simmers trouble for the cub with Slither still causing problems. DERANGED is a brilliantly balanced read, I just did not want to put this book down there was always something holding my interest, it was gripping, intense, with danger, angst, revenge, twists and turns, bloodshed and MC wars, I absolutely loved it and I definitely can’t wait for more in this series.
Brilliant!!
