DESTROYED is EVERYTHING!
Bella J Author took my heart, ripped it out and ran it through a blender, then put it back together again.
This is the story of Ink and Neon. Both of them are pretty messed up, but with all of the scars between them they fit together perfectly. They live in a world with its own set of rules where loyalty and a man’s word is gold. Ink is loyal. I mean, LOYAL. To his crew and to the woman he loves.
The things he does for her out of love and revenge will have your head spinning.
Ink totally wrecked me.
He wants to wreck you too.
AwwI don’t want to say goodbye to this amazing series. These Street Kings are my heart, yes they’re not normal, they love to shed blood but do knows how to party the right way, they make me smile with their little sayings and banter. This is truly is an amazing series that I would recommend to any reader who ask, well done.
Destroyed was the perfect ending to this intense series. It was inspirational in ways I didn’t expect.
Having rad the previous books the tension between Neon and Ink was clear. Their story was inevitable no matter how many times they denied the connection. But after a traumatic situation Ink decided denial is no longer an option and he’s not taking no for an answer. He begins to prove, with even the smallest gesture, that he’s not going anywhere. He’s sees through Neon’s new mask. Through her smiles and laughter he still notices how much the light in her eyes dimmed.
Their story was actually quite beautiful. It was about revenge, survival and recovery as well as learning to accept your scars and the scars of others. We’re all a little broken and no one is more broken than the other. Sometimes it takes your perfect match to fill those empty spaces.

Books 1-3 were un”freaking”believable and now book 4 Destroyed… speechless. Bella J knocked it right out of the dang park.
This is a story of survival. Of overcoming but this is also revenge.
If you have read books 1-3 you will understand where I am coming from. If not, get on it! Go get these books and read them. Book 4 takes us on a journey of 2 people who are 2 of the strongest characters I have ever read about. Yes, they have quite a bit of mental and physical issues to work through but they are nowhere near broken.
Neon is pushing herself to stand strong. Trying to prove to herself and to everyone else she is “fine”. Which if I was her, I would not be anywhere near “fine”. Do you know the definition of Fine? F*up, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional <--- that would be my "fine". And of course, during her trying to prove to everyone that she is fine, Ink is silently standing in the back as always catching her whenever her walls tumble. Ink and Neon have a push and pull. Not the cat and mouse game the "tease the hell out of each other just to piss each other off" type of push and pull. The ones that fight and bicker at each other so much you just want to knock them upside the head, lock them in a room for a week so they can get it out of their system. But even though they bicker and fight, Neon is the first person Ink looks for when he enters a room and the same goes for Neon. He may drive her insane, she may throw a shoe or two at him a time or 2 or 3 but he is her constant. As dark and violent this series is and as many strong characters there are Neon and Ink have turned out to be my favorite. Their strength is absolutely beautiful. **ARC provided for honest review**
Oh boy… Oh boy… Oh boy… It’s here… The book that will shatter my soul is here…
I was ecstatic when I received this book. And to top it all is written by one of the most amazing author of all time and my all-time favorite. Hell yeah…
If you have been following my reviews you know that I freaking love Mafia and MC Books. I love both genres and the more I read, the more I want.
Bella J is the person to blame. Her writing is that addictive and just one chapter was enough to make me addicted. She’s freaking amazing and her books will eat your heart and spit it out… You’ll see.
Her writing is raw and wild, hot and addictive, intense and emotional… You’ll see. Just grab her books and get ready…
Destroyed is her latest release and it’s the fourth book from the American Street Kings series and oh boy…
But I must tell you something. Despite the fact that all books are standalone, I advise you to read them all because some events will be mentioned in this one.
This book explores the lives of Ink and Neon.
Ink dedicates his life to his club and his brothers. He’s known to be a womanizer but sometimes what you think is not what you get. He has a huge crush for Neon but…
Neon had suffered the unthinkable. She was brutally assaulted and was left with some huge scars that time won’t be able to erase.
Dayum… Just Dayum… Those were the words that got out of my mouth once this book ended…
Jesus… What a book… What a ride from hell…
Stellar plot, very well written, super dark, super intense and so much more.
I knew that it would be an intense reading but it was even more.
Tragedy, crime, betrayal, madness are all factors that made this story unique but love, loyalty, desire, and family were what made this story intense and beautiful in a twisted way.
There were chapters that I saw myself shaking like some leave but then there were others that made me smile.
These two can be stubborn as a mule but in the end…
It’s impossible to say more without spoiling so I’m gonna shut up.
One thing good that you guys need to have in mind is that this is a dark book, with some violent scenes, some punishment and drama but if you know this author you’re ready to face it.
I was so anxious to read this book and let me just say that I couldn’t stop. It was all I wanted and some more.
Bella, dayum girl you nailed it. Ink and Neon were perfect like I knew they would be and these turn of events…
Please don’t let us wait too long… Please…I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
A thrilling fourth book in the American Street Kings series! An emotionally deep read that is compelling, dark, heart breaking, steamy, gritty, and raw; it is full of suspense, twists and turns, and heart-racing nail-biting adventure guaranteed to keep you upright on the edge of your seat as the drama unfolds. The characters are likeable and strong and you will find yourself rooting for them; their chemistry is off the charts. A gripping MUST READ series that gets better with each book. Definitely recommended!

Destroyed is book four and an epic conclusion to the American Street Kings series. Neon and Ink’s story was a slow burn throughout the series and we finally got their story. It took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions and that ending was perfect. I can’t wait to see what Bella J comes up with next.
“Destroyed” is the haunting and unforgettable love story of Ink and Neon. Ink is a motorcycle club member and he’s known Neon for five years – he’s obsessed but she doesn’t like him. However, when tragedy strikes Ink shows he has enough love for the two of them. He has the patience of a saint and the vengeance of a demon. Ink is there to help a traumatized Neon survive it all. And because he’s damaged, too – she saves him right back.
I read this highly descriptive tale in one sitting – couldn’t put it down. It’s intimate, raw, and personal. It has dark subject matter with bad things happening to horrible people and violent things happening to good people. There’s also the healing power of love, acceptance and family ties beyond blood. This is the final book in a series. I haven’t read the other books but now I’m going to. This one is a rewarding emotional roller coaster and I loved it!

Will Neon move beyond her destroyed past to find a life with Ink
I love how Bella pulls you in to the continued story of the American Street Kings with the focus on Neon and Ink. Ink has watched Neon from afar since she first showed up at the Kings, so feels compelled to help her get her life back after nearly being destroyed by Slither. Neon thinks she will never feel again, yet with the help of Alyx and Ink, she starts to put her horrific past behind her. The plot twists multiply with Manic’s past, and the threat of Crow’s demands in regards to Slither’s demise. Yet will Ink’s decision over Slither, be what Neon needs to close the door to her past? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down until you turn the last page. It was definitely a coffee morning to get through the work day as up till 2am to finish, it was just that much of a page-turner
This is the last book in this series. The story line is well written. this is full of intrigue drama and twists and turns

Ink’s revenge and rage was all he could think about as he worked his way back to Neon and the damage Slither inflicted on all he touched.
This author pulled no punches with the violence and graphic gritty MC drama that continued in each book of this series.
Dark, raw, and kind of scary in the way this struggling MC dealt with setback after setback.
Fast paced with eerie suspenseful drama.

TWISTED Must Read!
A nerve wracking twisted as all get out must read that instantly sucked me in and demanded every bit of my attention as it played with my emotions and invaded my and making this another perfect read by the amazing author who always has me overly anxious to read her work.
Bella J has floored me with Ink and Neon’s story. After she was tortured and left at the brink of death – Ink was there. All the times she pushed him away, he was there. When she finally let him in, he was still there. Ink, with his own tragic past, knew what she needed and his love for her showed. When he helped her and let her take her revenge on Slither, she took back her control. After everything, they were true to one another – even though sacrifices were made, they still had one another.
This ending to this series couldn’t have been more perfect. Bella brought you in her world and leaves you with characters you will love and remember and ones you will despise and still remember. She nearly brought me to my knees at some points, because I was able to feel both Neon and Ink’s pain. This book did have dark moments, so if you have triggers please tread lightly. If you haven’t read the other books of this series, please do so – you will be able to connect with all the characters so much more fully and Bella’s talent as an author will make it worth it. This is just one of many of her shining examples.

This was well worth the wait. Ink was destroyed by what happened to Neon and he will do anything to get his revenge but at what cost? Wow! This book left me breathless. There were so many twists and turns that left me gasping. I loved this story but it broke me at the same time. What a book!!! Highly recommended!!!
Wow!! Ink and Neon’s story is everything I thought it would be and more. I just knew their story would break my heart, but Bella J was able to piece it back together with their love story. Ink’s world was turned upside down when Neon was taken. I just knew the retribution that took place was going to be severe. He will stop at nothing to get the vengeance that Neon deserves, but with his vengeance there are consequences. When two of the most intense characters I have ever read let their walls down and love flow the healing that needs to take place can start. Now my question is, are you ready to be Destroyed??
Since I had read the previous ones in this I just had to keep it going and get into this one. This one is not for the faint of heart either. This one will go in deep the kind that pulls your heart out but leaves it beating. The pace of this one is also one that can sweep us away. Ink and Neon’s story will take you over and own you quickly. Ink is a man of his word as will be shown in this. These two will also be the balm to healing with the beauty from their depths emerges to do that. This author knows how to give us her all but takes us with her.
Ink and Neon have both been through so much in their pasts. Neon’s kidnapping and torture at the hands of an enemy club almost destroyed her. Ink was insane with rage and a need for revenge. Now that Neon is starting to heal, Ink has never given up on being her man. Tragic circumstances may leave the club in trouble and Neon without Ink. An epic ending to the series. I would like to find out more about Crow and Maniac in future books.
I was pulled into this book from the very first page.
Ink and Neon’s story was so much more than expected!!
This book was exciting, and heart breaking all at once. These characters were made for each other and help heal each others wounds.
Overall I enjoyed this book so much and can’t wait to read what Bella J comes up with next.
