Motorcycle club romance runs on rules of its own, and Crash & Carnage observes them. Loyalty, threat and a closed world with its own hierarchy: the pleasure of the subgenre is that the stakes are structural as well as emotional, and Emma Slate writes to that structure rather than around it.
The book is listed under the Tarnished Angels Motorcycle Club banner, which gathers titles sharing the same world. Close to twelve hours is generous for the form, and the extra room usually goes on the club itself: the politics, the rivalries and the price of belonging to something that does not let people leave easily.
