I think Blood and Whiskey is my first foray into the Royal Bastards Motorcycle Club; I say think because there are a ton of RBMC books out there. I’m not generally a fan of interconnected worlds by multiple authors, and had I known that was what I was getting into, I might’ve passed on this book. I’ve been burned by low-quality writing and plot lines in these types of worlds before. However, I’m glad I read it. I enjoyed Blood and Whiskey. It had just enough suspense to keep me on my toes. Isolde and Orion were super hot together. I loved the other members of the MC, and some of the Vanderbilt family members. I’m actually hoping for more books on either of those two groups from this author. The werewolf spin on the MC was a fun one. I did find it odd that Sol just woke up from her transition just totally, completely cool with the fact that, not only did shifters exist, but she was one. Like imagine one day being a normal human, then waking up to that news and being like, sure that tracks? Wild. I also didn’t think there was much closure with Sol’s brothers or the Scorpions, which is why I think more books are in order.

I received an ARC of Blood and Whiskey from BookSirens. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
