My Review of the Series:
LET ME START BY SAYING THAT REVIEWS ARE MY OPINIONS, VIEWS AND OR THOUGHTS ON THE BOOKS I READ. I DO NOT EXPECT EVERYONE TO AGREE WITH WHAT I SAY OR HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE MATERIAL I READ.
I give this series 3 stars. I feel that the series had potential and could have been great. There were so many holes and unrealistic parts in the story that I found myself sitting back saying Wow. I did not post a review on Amazon, because if I feel a book is 3 stars or less it is not fair to the hard working Author to place my opinion on a site that directly effects their sales. Reviews are after all opinions.
Here are a few examples of where I feel that there were issues with the story:
1. Jenn (Our leading lady) says in the beginning she has dated bikers before and been an Old Lady, but yet when Blade talks to her about it she seems very dense and even clueless. She has no idea of what being an Old Lady means.
2. Blade tells Jenn way to much. Everyone knows that club business is very hush hush. Blade has loose lips with Jenn.
3. Jenn hands down makes the dumbest decisions ever! Breaking into your psychotic Ex's house to get evidence but you leave your cell at home. Really!
4. Through out the first book there is impending war between 3 rival MC's and yet Blade (the Sargent In Arms) is rolling around courting Jenn with 2 bodyguards constantly. Their first date his club surrounds a steakhouse with their bikes in a big circle. That is not realistic!
There are a lot of other areas which really got under my skin but I don't want to list all of them because it will seem like I am bashing the author (which I most certainly am not. I loved "Seth" and I enjoyed "In The Cage") This series has the potential to be so great if it were rewritten and made more realistic.
Again I am a fan of Sandy Kline, this series has so much potential.

Purge Book Two
Two years on the run. Two years since Jennifer Clarkson fled for her life and now she’s back, but Whispering Pines has changed. Two years ago The Death Crusaders battled their rivals the Devil’s Advocates and the Sleazebags MC and it did not go well. The resulting chaos left dozens of hardcore bikers injured, fatally wounded or dead and scores imprisoned. In twenty-four hours Whispering Pines became a zero tolerance no man’s land for bikers of any breed.
“Show your cut, go to jail” was the Mayor’s promise.
Jennifer Clarkson thought she was coming back to start her life over with Blade the new president of the rag-tag band of what’s left of the Death Crusaders but what she got was not what she expected. The moment she rides into town her life is in danger and the man she had fallen in love with is not the same man he was when she fled. When her first stop is the town’s cemetery it becomes clear to her that the life she had known has been lost to her. Unable to tell her new friends from her enemies both new and old, Jennifer Clarkson becomes a minor sleuth and searches for answers others are dying to protect. How many people will have to die for her curiosity and will there be anyone left that she cares for? All she has to do is stay alive for ten days; easy right?
Purge is a fast-paced race against time that does not let up until the last page is turned. Detailed thoughtful descriptions give way to crisp, clear, and witty dialogue in a story that is as violent and it is provocative and will have readers cringing and blushing at the same time.
