Quiet

The Mercy Blades, Book 1

De: Clarissa Bright

Narrado por: Michael Knight

I'm ruthless. My hands are stained with blood. And I'll cut my way through anyone threatening her to keep her safe...and to make her ours.

I’m the leader of the most dangerous gang in Orlando. I’ve learned to be vicious and violent to survive. Now someone is trying to frame the Mercy Drive Blades for senseless murders we’re not responsible for and she's become our only hope.

Sofia. The insatiable journalist investigating the most dangerous serial killer in the state.

When she’s left in the storage room in our club, bruised and beaten, I know I can’t let her leave.

Even if she wants to.

Whether she likes it or not, she needs our protection.

But she’s supposed to just be a means to an end, a tool to ensure that my men and I are protected--to exonerate us, no matter how guilty we are.

I have no right to want her, not after everything I’ve done to her. By trying to keep her alive, I might be snuffing out that very thing she most desires; her freedom.

I don’t just need to protect her.

I need to make her mine.

For good.

Great storyline

This book is a combination of romance, thriller and suspense. So if you’re looking for a mix, this is for you! I enjoyed the suspense just as much as the slow burn romance. Good listen! Can’t wait for the next in the series.

Narrator was phenomenal. Story was unique

This book was good. michael knight nailed the characters and did an exceptional job. I wouldnt say this specific book is RH but I can see where the series all together could be. The story line was unique and really good. Journalist and mafia/crime teaming up is not something you see often so I enjoyed that aspect. Overall it was a pretty good story. Leaves you on a semi- cliffhanger but it is a good ending for the book to sort of be standalone but also leaves it open for the next book..

LOVED the story, but I struggled with the narration

The narration was very slow. I’m never one to speed up audiobooks, but I had to on this one to 1.5x to hold my attention. There were also several spots in the audiobook that “skipped” a word or two; however, when I sped it up, I didn’t notice as much anymore. If I was reading, I could’ve finished this in a day, but the audio took me much longer as I didn’t find a speed or rhythm that worked for me till about half way through.

With that being said, I loved the story. I figured out the killer before we actually found out in the story, but I still enjoyed the book. Especially the spicy end 🥵 Now I need the next book to figure out what else has happened after that cliffhanger 😭

Good boys that are morally gray

What the hell???? That cliffhanger was not nice. And the spice right before hand. Oh my gosh. I am hooked. This was such an easy book to listen to and one that made my drive fly by. The banter between the characters was great. I love how the FMC would try to fight with the MCs but they all thought it was quiet. I also loved the flirting that went on. It made the spice that much better. Overall a great experience and I can’t wait for the next

liked the narration

not my typical read and/or listen but I have listened to some books from this author so I decided to give this a try. I do like the narrator he matches really well with this book. I look forward to listening to the next book.

Good read!

I enjoyed the plot of this book and the mystery/romance combo. Tao's character was my favorite, bad boy on the outside but also showed his inner teddy bear. The last chapter was a bit much for me, but overall it was a good read and I would read the rest of the series.

I would recommend checking the content warnings, if you have any triggers.

HOT DANG!!!

Man this book was steamy, great plot and storyline and that steamy scene at the end 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Quiet

Quiet by Clarissa Bright
I loved the voice of Micheal Knight. He’s sexy as heck. I loved the plot and storyline that this author wrote. I got to have suspense, murder, serial killer, secrets, and romance. So much to this story and closes with a cliffhanger. But I can’t wait to hear more.

Gritty

Both the author Clarissa Bright and narrator Michael Knight are new to me. Mafia/Gang or RH (although I didn’t see it in this book really) are not genres I normally read, but here we go. What I wasn’t prepared for was that this book ends in a cliffhanger, so you have been warned.

This is a gripping, raw and dark book about Mateo (Teo), the leader of the Mercy Drive Blades, a man who is easy to be wary of. Sofia is a journalist and a woman determined to investigate a violent and dangerous serial killer. When Sofia is attacked, Teo has no choice but to protect her, no matter the cost.

The chemistry between them is crazy and impossible to ignore. The twists and turns added additional layers and the suspense element of the story was intriguing.

Not So Quiet

Sophia is a journalist who is trying to get better stories. There is a serial killer in the area and seems like she is in their crosshairs now. When Sophia is placed in the basement of a local gang leaders (Teo) club, it looks like the serial killer is trying to frame this gang. Teo falls for the sassy reporter, but not before he tells her that she is basically a prisoner and will be under the watchful eyes of him and his friends.

You have corruption, a few twists, mystery and a cliffhanger. Looking forward to seeing what happens next in this series.
