K. A. Knight

The world ended and with it so did the rules. I was stolen from my family and raised in the Wastelands to the North. I did what I had to ensure my survival. I became The Champion, with my history carved into my skin for all to see. Now I spend my days drinking and hiding from my past until four newcomers offer me a job I can't refuse. When my past and future mix I must once again rise and fight. This time it's not for my freedom, it's for my happiness. Contains mature themes.

Den of Vipers

I have never read a dark romance book like this because in the book the FMC is very strong and i love the author for that , the book contains good amount of spice, action, romance everything.

   Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel—The Vipers.

   They run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses.

   Yes, sold me.

   They own me now.

   I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and won’t stop until they get just that. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart.

   The Vipers? I’m going to make them regret the day they took me.

   This girl? She bites too.


*18+ Reverse Harem Romance. Warning this book contains scenes and references of abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering. Along with graphic sex scenes and violence. This is a dark book*

Read for the smut. Was not disappointed. No plot (perfectly fine with me)

very smutty but the book could’ve been half the page count to get to the point

This book is literally trash, but it’s also a good meme. That’s all I have to say about it.

The story is a little unbelievable but the spice makes up for it. Lots of trigger warnings. Very dark, but makes you want to keep reading.

honestly i really don't understand the hate on the book lol for me it was a silly read but it was really good, in a few time it will feel like a fever dream lmao. but believe me, that after this one, jesus will not let me go to heaven lmao. 
i loved the characters and their personalities, i hope garrett heals, and that diesel never loses that crazy sparkle, that ryder stars enjoying more life and that kenzo never loses his addictive personality and heart, but more importantly i hope roxy never stops being a badass 

- "She can be one of us, a Viper" 

- ""Kenzo is the bookie, owns the city's gambling. Horses, cards, anything you can bet on, even fights. He's the money side of things, good with numbers. Garrett used to be a fighter, so he knows a lot of tough people. He's the enforcer. He scares people, beats them up a bit to make them listen to Ryder, who's the front man. The face and the brains of the operation.
They try to stop it from getting to me."
"And what are you?"
"I'm your worst nightmare. The place you go when you're at the end. I get information by whatever means necessary. When Garrett can't scare them, Ryder can't reason with them, and Kenzo can't bribe them, then I get them. I kill our enemies, I torture those who dare defy us. I'm the reason people are scared to cross the Vipers."

- ""You're the assassin," 
"Yes, Little Bird, I'm the assassin, and you're my latest target."

- ""You fucking gambling addict,"
"Only when you're involved."

- "Creeping across the room, I get onto the bed behind her, slipping closer until I can feel her heat. I wrap my arm around her and drag her against my chest. I've seen this in movies, but I've never tried it myself. Usually, the women I've been with are either passed out, or so scared they run away and we have to pay them to be quiet. It loses its fun after a while-all that fear. Just once, I want someone to match me, to not burn in my fire, but be reborn in it. I hope Roxy is that one. Because either way, she's being plunged into it, and there is no escape for her. Not now, not ever. She knows that now, I see it in her eyes."

- "Holding her and her not trying to get away. It's nice, and feels right and comforting. Like coming home."

- "the night your dad handed you over without a fight, we saw the same thing in you that's in all of us. Garrett doesn't even know why he saved you, I think. Ryder lies to himself, says it's business. Kenzo plays it like it's a game, keeping everything to his chest. But I see it. The moment your dad gave you up...you became like us. Another lost soul. Another Viper in search of a home. We all started with nothing, no one, and now look where we are. A family. A broken, fucked up family, but a family nonetheless, that would kill before they let anyone take you. Think on that."

- "She isn't allowed to walk away from me. Not now. Not ever. I would kill everyone in this fucking world for her, anyone who ever dared hurt her.(...)She can't know the true depth of feelings I have for her, that even though I try to stay impartial, that I try to hate her, I can't. Because I'm falling in love with her." 

- "I crave her heat, her body, her mind, even her fight. She is my ever-growing weakness, a grey area blooming in my dark heart and stretching its colour across my soul until I can't help but want to be a better man for her, to be the man she deserves. But I will never be, so instead, she gets me. She will have to learn to survive it and get used to it, because I have a feeling she's going nowhere." 

- "No one will miss me."
That's a fucking lie, I would. I would miss her so much, it sends a pang through my icy heart. To never hear her laugh again, to never see her challenge me, defy me...no. I would miss her.
My brothers would. They would kill me if I hurt her" 

- "You're the love of my life, darling. Someone I didn't even know I was searching for all these years. But you're here, and I love you more than words, which is why I'm giving you these keys. I know you can never love me the way Ilove you when you're not free. I'm hoping, I'm fucking hoping, that even though you can leave, that you're free, and I promise you are. We won't chase you, we won't hunt you. You are truly free...I'm hoping that you will still want to stay. With us. Love us, Roxy. I know I'm not asking for something easy or simple, I'm asking for everything, but I can't not. You're our heart, Rox, our living, beating heart. The piece we were missing from our family. You turned our world upside down. We aren't good men, we aren't soft or loving, we are hard and our hands are stained with blood. But I swear, I swear if you stay, you will never want for anything, and no one will ever hurt you again.. well, apart from us."

- "Keep Ryder sane, melt that ice and give him the love he never had but deserved. Love Garrett, even though he struggles to love himself. Love Diesel, even though it might kill you. and love me, even though I don't deserve it. Be my greatest win."

- "The cold, controlling alpha. The damaged enforced with a heart of gold. The romantic, charming gambler. The insane killer with an obsessive heart."

- "I love you, Little Bird. You're the gasoline to my fire. I never would have let you go, and the others wouldn't have either. They are idiots if they thought they could,"

- "She came for me. And now I will come for her, always. I will save her, and then I will damn her, making her mine forever. If there's one thing I've learned since I found out she was gone, it's that I can't live without her. Not anymore. She worked her way under my armour, under my ruined skin to the fighter, the warped killer beneath, and she loved him and made him love her. She is my reason to breathe now, to fight my demons every goddamn day."

- " When you find love, you hold on hard. It's a fragile little thing, and once it's gone, it leaves a hole and memories, we all know that. Ones you wish you could relive, but from every love, you learn something. Something important. From my mother, I learned to be strong. From my father, I learned to embrace pain. From Rich, I learned to love while it lasts and that endings aren't always a bad thing. From my Vipers, I learned love is unconditional and can come at the strangest of times and places. And from myself? I learned it's okay to love yourself. Even the darkest parts of you. No matter the shape, size, or weirdness you came with. Embrace your scars and never be ashamed to be who you are, because there is only one of you. And if you don't love you, how can anyone else? I am imperfectly perfect. I am a lover and a fighter. I am strong and weak. I can be cruel and a killer, but also kind and a healer. I am all of those things, and loving my weaknesses means I can embrace my strengths and be just whom I want to be."

Extremely dark and twisted - wouldn’t read again for sure

** spoiler alert **
           I don’t want to be rude in my review, but what the fuck is this. I just felt like the book could have just been condensed with the information that was provided. I felt like it could have ended as soon as they saved Garrett. I also felt like the parts that were supposed to be dramatic, just was not, at all. I also want to say that the smutt was minimal! I felt like even though she had 4 guys there was hardly any group action & if there was, it was the same every time. The guys doing the same thing. I also would like to say that. I also felt like she could have been with Kenzo more. She was mostly with Garrett and Diesel. I wanted more Kenzo and Ryder action.

“Roxy is quiet today, and these idiots don’t know how to act. Ryder offered money to the widow. Garrett offered to hurt someone. Diesel offered to kill someone. They all look flabbergasted when it didn’t work. Shaking my head, I sweep Roxy into my arms and lay down on the sofa, gripping her tightly.

      “It’s okay, darling, we are here,” I whisper to her, and she buries her head in my chest, twists her hands in my shirt, and cries.”

I loved all of them!



It was an okay book, just sometimes it was cringe and annoying. 

Jodie Reads

Not a fan of the female main character. I found her annoying at times, but since this is multiple POV it wasn’t a deal breaker. I loved the love interests and found them interesting. I do feel that the book was a little too long and the last 15 percent felt boring and redundant, but it was okay!

I really reaaaally disliked the female character and her over exagerated traits. As well as all the "John Wick" like scenes and idk.. Sometimes everything was too much

Sherry Clark 

This book took on a whole new thing for me.
