Pippa.
The girl you all know as damaged. Quiet. Broken.
She doesn’t fit in. Nothing in her world feels right. She’s trapped in a spiral of darkness that seems to be consuming her day by day, until she sees nothing but an empty, black hole.
Her world is a broken place she can’t escape.
She has people around her who matter. Who love her. But it’s not enough. Not enough to break her out of the bitter despair she lives in.
Until Tyke.
He knows pain. He knows darkness. He’s sweet. He’s kind. But most of all…
He understands her.
Combining their demons doesn’t seem like the best plan. Everyone is against them. He deserves better. She deserves better. They’ll never work. They’re too broken. Too damaged. It’s a destructive combination that will only end in heartbreak.
He’s a biker. She’s a broken angel.
But in their desolation, they will find peace.
With each other.

I received Desolation as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Bloody hell, I feel like I've waited so long to get my eyes on this book.
Desolation is the fourth and final book into the Jokers Wrath series which is really depressing as I THOUGHT everyone was getting a book. But wait!! Hold that thought, certain characters are getting a book, but it will be another series or standalone.
Back to the story.
Pippa, we meet Pippa when Santana and the Jokers Wrath MC go find her where she's been kept as a slave for years, been starved and treated poorly. Santana never knew where he sister was taken and for Pippa, she never knew the reason as to why she was sold. Or if her sister was alive.
In this book Pippa is still struggling to come to terms with everyday life. Even down to ordering food, or using a phone she finds it hard to do. Which is understandable after being kidnapped for most of her childhood. Before that she was living on the streets, before that she was been beaten and worse by her foster parent. She really hadn't had the best upbringing or luck in life. Her spirit just seemed to have broken or died. There just seemed to be no fight in her. After years of fighting to stay alive it just seemed weird she would feel the way she did about being free. I mean, wasn't that what she was fighting for?
I love Pippa's character though, I have from the beginning and when I found out Tyke and her were getting their own book I jumped for joy.
Tyke in this novel seemed to change a lot through out. One minute he's the biker I know him to be, the caring, kind, hard, rugged, kind man, but then at times he seemed too much, especially for someone like Pippa.
Like their first time together, it didn't seem something she deserved, or the way the Tyke I come to read would give it to her. He didn't seem understanding at times.
Anyway, the book is brilliant, we got to see Tyke bring out the best in Pippa, bring the life into her again and for Pippa to make a friend.
The two form a bond from the very beginning, but in this novel they become so much more than friends. At times I thought Tyke only saw her as a broken angel, but then he sings this song and it completely changed my mind.
Two new characters are brought into the book, one we don't know a lot about or why he is there, but still, I can't wait to know if he's got a story coming because I liked him.
Then there is Rainer, who I freaking adored from the get go. He's another slave that was there with Pippa, he was attached to her from the minute he was brought in and he didn't seem to like her. But then they are faced with cleaning up a murder that their capture done and the two bonded when Rainer held Pippa from breaking down. After all, the rules were if one steps out of line, the two attached both die. I loved him.
I read the ending of the book where we get a glimpse into Rainer's book and I have to say, I'm excited as hell to read his. Loved him.
The ending to this book near about killed me. I have never cried so much in my life. I literally balled my eyes out over it it killed me that much. I don't want to ruin it or even hint about what it is, but I will say it affects EVERYONE. It really killed me.
5 top amazing, well earned *
