Synopsis
I work in the darkness that is Black Creek.
If there’s a secret to uncover, a package to deliver, or a story to be told, I’m your girl. I make my money however I can.
Once upon a time, The Feral Beasts ruled Black Creek with an iron fist, but they’re long gone now. The Antonelli family stepped in, only caring about their family and their money.
I’ve heard the whispers…The Reaper Rejects are growing and they want control of Black Creek. But this town isn’t big enough for the both of them. Blood will be shed, lives will be lost, retribution will be dealt.
A war is coming and this town has never been more deadly.

Review
For me, Rebels and Rejects started a little slow. But once I got into it, it was very entertaining.
I felt a little lost initially like I was missing something even though this was the first book in a series. I had to read any other R.A. Smyth books, though, so that may have been why. Once I got my bearings, however, I really enjoyed it.
Sawyer is my favorite kind of FMC, tough as nails and highly underestimated, and of course, super protective of her family. Cain will be most people’s favorite. Tortured alphahole, who just needs to be loved. And of course, I like Oliver, because lately, the nice guy has been my thing.
The characters are all great, but it’s really the plot that I enjoyed the most. I did think it took a bit for the story to be fully fleshed out and to see where this was going, but once it was revealed, it was clear that this was going to get interesting very quickly. I can’t wait to read the next one to see where this all ends up!
