    If you loved Abby and The Reaper, then you’re going to go crazy for their son and daughters! Tyson lives up to the Wilson family name, and being raised by one of society’s most feared criminals has prepared him for the life of an outlaw. Determined not to skate by on his father’s reputation, he’s aggressively climbed the ranks of Satan’s Sons and is ready to give up everything for the club - with only one thing holding him back - high school. Tyson has to make it through his senior year before he can fully commit to the MC, and nothing will stand in his way. But when Layla, daughter of his rival den’s president, walks into his classroom, suddenly the life he has mapped out isn’t looking so simple. Hannah is the black sheep of the family and has earned her nickname ‘Nice’. She doesn’t drink, or smoke, and tries to stay out of club business; but she does have a taste for something just as deadly - her father’s Vice President, Brad. When crushing news from the doctor puts her life in check, Hannah is faced with challenges no girl of her age is equipped to handle, and she must rely on unconventional allies for support. Allies The Reaper certainly won’t approve of. Follow two love stories; each just as deadly as the other. Being together might be dangerous, but outlaws are meant to break the rules. "Forbidden is an intense story that quickly had me by the throat. It's genuine, realistic, and serious plot, along with multiple perspectives help the reader connect with, if not one, multiple characters. This one book purposely ends with many unanswered questions, setting up the plot for the next book in the series. I am interested not only in further development of existing characters, but also the introduction of new characters such as Rex." - Sarah "Every event and emotion was so real. The fear of getting into a relationship with a man so close in relation and so far in age. The guilt Reaper feels when he hits Hannah was heart touching, he knew how sensitive his daughter is and knew that it was a huge mistake which could end his relationship with her. Moreover, where Eve is strong and outspoken, we see a sensitive side of her for her twin. It was well written. Bravo!" - Vrinda
