The perfect ending to a perfect series。 Mari and her guys finally get the happy ending they needed! I have never loved an ending to a series more than I have this one。。 they went through such struggles and hard time to get where they are and they deserve every moment。 Thank you Crystal for giving us an amazing world to be immersed in!

I could not have predicted how this series would finish up being so darn good。

Finally - the reunion we all needed 😉😉What a way to end this series。 I have loved this series from the moment I started it。 It has so much and more overall。 This book takes off right where Book 8 ended。 Shadow and Reaper are taken from the Sha。 While Mari, Gunner and Jandro are trying to put their heads together as much as possible to figure out a way to get to them, Reap and Shadow are being tortured to a point of breaking。 All hope seems to be lost until we are introduced to a new God, Quetzal Finally - the reunion we all needed 😉😉What a way to end this series。 I have loved this series from the moment I started it。 It has so much and more overall。 This book takes off right where Book 8 ended。 Shadow and Reaper are taken from the Sha。 While Mari, Gunner and Jandro are trying to put their heads together as much as possible to figure out a way to get to them, Reap and Shadow are being tortured to a point of breaking。 All hope seems to be lost until we are introduced to a new God, Quetzalcoatl - the Aztec god of Wisdom and knowledge。 When they are given new hope and learn new "abilities" to help bring Sha down - the don't wait a second longer and race to go break out their men。 While we wait for Reaper in limbo essentially - Shadow thinks it all comes down to being his fault。 The loyalty these two provided for each other throughout the book made you love these characters even more。 I LOVE character growth in a series and these two definitely came out on top。 We got all the wants we craved from Book 7 with Gunner。 And Gunner and Jandro got more love in this one too。 The build up was crazy and I was on the edge of my seat。 I loved how they were able to harness their connection to each other and their Gods to overcome the chaos。 The big conclusion happened maybe 50% in, so we get LOTS of conclusion to Mari and her guys story。 I'm still super excited for the Novella because lets face it。。。 I'm really not ready to say goodbye to these characters yet。 Cant wait for the Novella。*Overall 4。5/5*Heat? 5/5 (We get a hottt 4-way)*First person POV - all main characters*No Triggers*Fast burn - do not need to wait long ;-)*HEA? YES! and then some。 。。。more

This series has been one hell of a ride and with each book you just become more and more invested in the characters and their relationships and you can’t help but love this series and although I am sad to see it end, OMG what an epic ending it is!

A perfect ending to a perfect seriesThis series has been incredible from start to finish。 Mari, Reaper, Jandro, Gunner and Shadow captured my heart from the very first page and their story is one I couldn't put down。 The relationship between Mari and her men underpins everything that has happened so far and the deep connection they've forged proves more vital than they could ever have imagined。Crystal has deftly woven all the threads that have been running throughout the series into an epic fina A perfect ending to a perfect seriesThis series has been incredible from start to finish。 Mari, Reaper, Jandro, Gunner and Shadow captured my heart from the very first page and their story is one I couldn't put down。 The relationship between Mari and her men underpins everything that has happened so far and the deep connection they've forged proves more vital than they could ever have imagined。Crystal has deftly woven all the threads that have been running throughout the series into an epic finale that is both hard-won and extremely satisfying。 I'm sad it's finished but beyond happy with how it ended, and even more happy that there's going to be an epilogue novella about their life together afterwards。 。。。more
Becky Snaith,
Now that I have finally stopped crying I can write this review。 I literally cried the whole 3+ hours it took me to fly through this series finale。 And let me tell you。。。。it was so worth it。 There were sad tears, devastated tears, happy tears, angry tears and overall just a rejuvenating ugly cry。 This series has been so amazing since the SDMC roared into Mari's life。 So many ups and downs, laughs and chills。 Shadow is just omg, and Jandro and his chickens, Reaper all gruff and growly and Gunner j Now that I have finally stopped crying I can write this review。 I literally cried the whole 3+ hours it took me to fly through this series finale。 And let me tell you。。。。it was so worth it。 There were sad tears, devastated tears, happy tears, angry tears and overall just a rejuvenating ugly cry。 This series has been so amazing since the SDMC roared into Mari's life。 So many ups and downs, laughs and chills。 Shadow is just omg, and Jandro and his chickens, Reaper all gruff and growly and Gunner just always being sweet and I'm just so sad to see it end。 But in another way I'm glad because if anyone deserves to ride into the sunset it's the cast of characters that saved the world。 I do look forward to the spin off with The Sons of Odin and the promised extended epilogue Endless but Merciless really was everything a final book should be。 If you haven't started this series stop what you are doing and go get it now!! 5 Sobbing Stars 。。。more

Have you ever come across a book or series where you fall in love with the characters so deeply, you simply cannot stop thinking about them?

Well for me it’s the Steel Demons MC series and Merciless, the final book, is the perfect, most satisfying conclusion I could have hoped for。In Merciless, Crystal doesn’t make us wait long for the action to begin。 Everything we’ve learned about the gods, their link to Mari and her men, and the Sha, culminates in an epic final battle that had me biting my nails in suspense。 The final book in the series moves quickly, with moments of anguish and heartbreak, action and suspense, and finally, those hard fought moments of joy, passion and love。 These characters get their happy ending but it does not come easy for any of them。 Merciless concludes the series and this storyline but Crystal is writing an extended epilogue novella, Endless, that will be out before the end of the year。 I’ve already got mine preordered because I am nowhere near ready to say goodbye to these characters。 The door is also left open for some beloved side characters to get their own stories which is super exciting。 I love this world so much and can’t wait to see what comes next! 。。。more
Stacy,
This series was amazing from start to end。 It had elements of dystopia, paranormal, and motorcycle club, but none overwhelming or overpowering another。 Each element was subtle and well placed, relevant to the story。 I loved the communication style and the relationship development。 Usually if I find flaw in a story, it is at the last book, but everything was perfect to the very end; I only wanted more of it 🖤

An epic conclusion to a series that has held me within its grasp since I picked up the first book last year。 I almost put this on an ever growing TBR pile but took a chance and so happy I did。 It’s that good!The ending of the last book left me feeling angry and empty inside as the big bad that’s been in the background throughout the series finally made a move that left Mari and her guys fractured since two were taken。 With help from their companions the remaining three come together to take out An epic conclusion to a series that has held me within its grasp since I picked up the first book last year。 I almost put this on an ever growing TBR pile but took a chance and so happy I did。 It’s that good!The ending of the last book left me feeling angry and empty inside as the big bad that’s been in the background throughout the series finally made a move that left Mari and her guys fractured since two were taken。 With help from their companions the remaining three come together to take out the bad guy and rescue the others。I loved how it all came to a smack down that proved good wins over evil and love can conquer all。 All works out in the end with Mari, Reaper, Gunner, Jandro and Shadow becoming a complete, cohesive group。 They move forward and find forgiveness and happiness。 And let’s just say their group scenes are phenomenal。 The reader won’t be disappointed on that front。Look forward to secondary characters receiving their own series soon。 * I received this book as an ARC for an honest review。 。。。more
Kathryn Jay Cox,
Absolutely perfect endingThis was the extremely satisfying end we all hoped we'd get- but not without its own sacrifices that keep us hanging on, praying for the characters, and whimpering "Oh no" every twenty minutes or so! I don't know how much I can gush about it without spoiling anything, so I'll just leave you with that and a comment to Crystal that I think I speak for a lot of us when I say we'd LOVE to see Shadow's sketchbook as some bonus merch from your store or something。 Your descript Absolutely perfect endingThis was the extremely satisfying end we all hoped we'd get- but not without its own sacrifices that keep us hanging on, praying for the characters, and whimpering "Oh no" every twenty minutes or so!

(A lot of the portraits would make fantastic bookmarks or character cards。。。 just saying ;) lol)Blown away as always by Crystal's writing。 I haven't fallen so in love with a series in a long time- especially romance ones which tend to be hit or miss。 This series, however, not only knocked it out of the park, but out of this world! I will definitely be buying paperbacks of the series to pour over every so often for the foreseeable future。 So amazingly perfect。 。。。more
Jodie Thornton,
What a beautiful conclusion to an ending。 Mari and her guys and doing everything they can to fight the gods not on there side。 After weeks of shadow and reaper missing they are finally able to come up with a plan, they go in guns blazing fighting to save there lives。 The bond between reaper and shadow and how the story wraps up for them is heartbreakingly beautiful。 I’m so sad to see this story end but it’s written beautiful and of course crystal brings all the heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I had to take a step back after finishing this book before I could write a review。 Mainly because I can’t believe this amazing ride is over。 I’ve been invested in this series from the beginning。 Cheering on Mari and the guys every step of the way and the fact that it’s over has left me a little sad, but in the best way。 This book starts off right where Ruthless left off and emotions were at an all time high for the characters as well as myself。 It didn’t stop tugging on my emotions until the ver I had to take a step back after finishing this book before I could write a review。 Mainly because I can’t believe this amazing ride is over。 I’ve been invested in this series from the beginning。 Cheering on Mari and the guys every step of the way and the fact that it’s over has left me a little sad, but in the best way。 This book starts off right where Ruthless left off and emotions were at an all time high for the characters as well as myself。 It didn’t stop tugging on my emotions until the very end。 I loved how beautifully Crystal managed to bring everything together and resolve the numerous problems left by previous books。 It was also amazing to look back and see how much each character has grown and changed both willingly and unintentionally。 Mari and her men got the ending they all deserved, even if it was a hell of a ride, and I am so thankful that I took this ride with the Steel Demons MC。 。。。more
Margaux Espinosa,
What a fantastic conclusion to this series。 Mari goes through so much in this series and every new things she conquers proves just how incredibly strong she actually is and how very fiercely she loves her husbands and how much they love her in return。 Mari, Shadow, Reaper, Jandro and Gunner are amazing characters and I’m sad that this adventure is over。 But what an ending they got!
