Outcasts

Outcasts

*Grimm* Pariah. Dark Messiah. Harbinger of death. My reputation has always preceded me. I'm a brother to the queen of the Badlands. I'm one of the few confidants to her fiancé-the devil himself. And those whispered rumors that I'm a silent killer, a true harvester of souls? They're true. People never see me coming. I don't discriminate, I show no mercy, and I feel no remorse. My only loyalty is to my family and when someone important to them goes missing, I vow to do whatever is necessary to track her down and bring her back. But the person I find is not the same woman who was stolen away. Something's different about her. Something I find myself drawn to as we fight our way back to hell. *Arlen* Stubborn. Reckless. Original family disappointment. My reputation has never preceded me. I'm supposed to be this spoiled, rich b*tch who does everything her daddy tells her. I was forbidden to even think about the Badlands. But money means nothin to me and my paradise was a pretty cage I refused to be trapped in. I fought my way out, I found a new family, and even though sh*t got tough sometimes it all worked out in the end. And then I got kidnapped. I thought it was over for me. I almost broke. I should have known he would never let that happen. And I should have realized something inside me had shifted. Maybe then I'd have seen the signs that I was falling for an irredeemable man. A man who taught me that there was power in taking away a life. A man who showed me just how beautiful hell truly was. It's only fair I warn you that this is not a story about a rescued damsel in distress. This is a story about what happens when a man who collects souls finally meets his match. *Outcasts is the 3rd book in the Badlands series. This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend starting Savages & Deviants first.*

Loved Grimm and Arlen. They were perfect for each other. He is use to killing and she brought out the human side in him where he actually has emotions. He cares, laughs and jokes. Something horrendous happened to her and he taught her how to survive from it. Natalie Bennett is the queen of dark and gritty reads. As always I love gruesome scenes. Best read series in order even can read this as a stand-alone, has a good quick recap of Books 1 & 2. But I feel some scenes would mean more if read from beginning. 4/5 Loved It

Review/Reseña en Español/English Español Este es mi libro favorito de los personajes originales, Arlen y Grim son perfectos, todo lo que sufrió arlen fue muy explícito y terrible, también tuvimos más respuestas de cómo funciona este mundo y conocimos nuevos personajes, no esperaba que Grim tuviera una personalidad tan diferente a lo que espera, quede bastante satisfecha con su libro y definitivamente no pasó nada de lo que esperaba soo me gustó mucho, sin embargo, no es para cualquiera porque es muuuy dark, de nuevo tiene temas de gore, abuso, canibalismo y horror para que lo consideren. English This is my favorite book of the original characters, Arlen and Grim are perfect, everything Arlen went through was very explicit and terrible, we also had more answers about how this world works and we met new characters, I did not expect Grim to have such a different personality, I was quite satisfied with the book and definitely nothing that i expected happened soo I liked it a lot, however, it is not for everyone because it is sooo dark, again it has themes of gore, abuse, cannibalism and horrort.
