Thunder Road (Badlands Book 7) by Morgan Brice


Simon & Vic are back from their honeymoon, and dive right back into another adventure filled case. Thunder Road is book 7 of the Badlands series featuring homicide detective Vic and his now husband medium Simon. 


From the blurb:

Simon and Vic are home from their honeymoon, just in time for a brand new case!


Mysterious missing person reports, a cursed motorcycle club, and an ancient entity add up to trouble. A bad bargain to stop a long-ago gang war requires a yearly sacrifice from a tightly-knit group of riders, and even their coven of witches hasn’t been able to stop the deaths.

Then the granddaughter of a former lighthouse keeper comes to Simon for help. When the lighthouses were automated, they lost their live-in guardians, who worked protective spells to shield the coast from killer storms and a murderous creature. Those protections are fading, and an old evil has gained power, growing stronger with every life it claims.

Can Simon and Vic end the deaths and disappearances, or have they finally found a foe too powerful to stop?

Thunder Road is an action-packed MM paranormal romance chock full of old magic, protective guardians, found family, an ancient monster, brave motorcyclists, helpful ghosts, loyal friends, psychic visions, hurt/comfort, supernatural suspense, and an evolving, established romantic relationship with all the feels.


Molly Otto's review:

Just because Simon & Vic are married doesn't mean their adventures have ended, and I'm thankful for it! Throughout the series, we see the bonds form of the Myrtle Beach grow to be a strong defense against supernatural issues. This book is no different. Simon & Vic have returned from their honeymoon in time for spooky season, and with that, they face another adversary that tests the whole crew to their limits.
Usually, I get bored with the same couple over a longer series, and yet with Simon & Vic, their bond just deepens with each adventure. It's a beautiful thing to see how accepting Vic and the MPD have become in Simon's abilities to make it possible to work harmoniously. With each story enjoying, Morgan gives us more history from South Carolina along with a suspense throughout. Will always keep coming back to this series, for however long it may last.


SNik's review:

Sixth in series (Badlands), best if read in order. Paranormal. Established couple. Quick read. Dual POV. 

Married, but certainly not boring, Simon and Vic return from their honeymoon and are instantly embroiled in another paranormal investigation. How does a decades long bargain with a motorcycle club tie in to the waning protection of several local lighthouses? 

There is something about Simon and Vic that is so enjoyable to return to, they are unwavering in their love, still have plenty of steamy times, and are equally protective of each other in the face of the many dangers they face together. With the support of their friends they easily solve the mystery and address the risk while trying to save lives, just another day of secretly saving the world for these two. Another great addition to the Badlands series, I hope I never have to stop reading about Simon and Vic.
