Emmy Lou Hayes is a good girl, more by obligation than by choice: she is the daughter of the President of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, Reese "Picnic" Hayes, and he watches over her like a hawk. Em, twenty-two, has no boyfriend, and her father doesn't make things easy. She'd had her eye on a member, Painter, but it appears he's not interested.

Hunter is a member of the Devil's Jacks; he came about the MC by accident: eight years prior to the events of the book, his foster father was about to rape his younger foster sister, a neighbour helped him; the good samaritan was a member of the Devil's Jacks: Burke, and he's been like a father to Hunter since then. The Jacks have been at war off and on with the Reapers for twenty years; there had been a truce for a while until a recent incident caused the hostilities to reopen. Burke needs leverage against the Reapers, and sees an opportunity: what better leverage than Picnic's daughter; Hunter has seen Em, and he wants her.

Em would really like to have a life of her own, a boyfriend, sex, so she turns to the internet, where her father can't interfere. She gets acquainted with a good-looking, nice young man named Liam. They had been chatting and talking on the phone for a few weeks, and they decide to meet in person. Sparks definitely fly, but there is just one problem: Liam and Hunter are one and the same.

DEVIL'S GAME is the second book in the Reapers Motorcycle Club series. When I read the previous one, I had my misgivings: would I care for people who inhabit a world so different from mine? Absolutely! I was very much looking forward to DEVIL'S GAME, and it lives up to my very high expectations, and then some. It's not pretty: it's gritty, intense, crude, rough, sometimes violent; Joanna Wylde does not sugarcoat the MC world's reality.

I had wondered if my liking the previous book had been a fluke, if it had been the novelty of the MC world; definitely not! It's a gripping story, the characters are fascinating, and what an ending! In my opinion, DEVIL'S GAME even surpasses Reaper's Legacy. Ms. Wylde is an exceptional storyteller, and I cannot wait for the next book!
