When I picked up this book, I was looking for a raw, gritty, and dark read. Although 'One Hundred & Thirty-Six Scars' did have some dark content, it was primarily in the characters' pasts. While that was certainly a big part of who they were, as a whole, this book wasn't as dark as I'd hoped for.

This was just an ok read for me. I had several complaints that I wasn’t able to overlook this time..
First of all, I felt this book was in need of editing. There were mistakes in some scenes with details... an example is one minute the heroine was said to have taken her bra of, then the next paragraph the hero was said to be playing with her bra while it was on her.... but the author had already written it was off... This issue came up more than a few times, as well as grammar ...more

This book had such potential, but it fell seriously short. I wanted to DNF this one at about 30%, but I pushed through, then at 61% I was seriously struggling.*1 **Just Nope** Stars*
Am I the only one that noticed that Beast's agent name throughout the book is Agent 316 but on the cover of the book it's shows the tattooed number on his neck is 136?

This was a fine start to another series by Amo Jones.
Beast and Meadow were great characters with tortured pasts and a tragic connection. I admired them both for their survival skills and perseverance. Side characters, such as Hella, gave the story its element of angst, which was notably lacking between the MCs. I actually liked that Beast and Meadow played no games and therefore lacked drama. It was refreshing, especially when compared to the shitstorm that was Hella and Melissa. Now that ...more

ARC Kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book! I usually enjoy MC reads and this was so unique that it earned a special place in my heart.
Be prepared though. The book is raw, gritty and dark. If you are uncomfortable with dark themes, then this may not be your cup of tea.
This is the story of Beast & Meadow. They meet under hard circumstances and then later in life when Beast is the President of an MC.
Beast is a very raw character. I simply loved him.

It's been a while I read my last MC book and I really missed them.
I liked that author kept Beast's and Meadow's relationship very simple. This was one smooth, simple and uncomplicated relationship. Despite that, it was intresting read with usual #MCisalwaysinwar drama.
What bothered me the most, is lack of details. Author missed some details which just didn't add up or some things were not explained enough; I am really disturbed by this kind of superficiality.

Well who doesn't love a huge alpha president? Beast is HOT!!! I really enjoyed this story and all the characters were great.
Meadow the h was badass after having a horrific childhood filled with abuse and was so close to ending it all when her huge white knight stepped in to save her from herself.
I am still a little confused by the organisation that Beast grew up in and thought it was needing a little more story at times.
As it stands it was an enjoyable read and a good way to start a series.

Holy junk – do NOT click this book if you have triggers from sexual abuse or violence and torture.
A young girl, just a baby in fact, four years old is being tortured by her father. Her teacher is shocked at the drawing she presented in celebration of Fathers Day. One hundred thirty six scars – one hundred and thirty six times her father has assaulted her. She wears each one drifting off to a different place when he comes for her.

"I was born broken, all they had to do was train me."
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started this journey. The synopsis intrigued me, and the cover is amazing. It was an irresistible combination that guaranteed I give it a chance, even if there weren't any badass bikers. But fortunately I got to have my cake and eat it too, it was all that with the badass bikers... heaven for an addict like myself.

This installment was by far my favorite out of all of Amo's novels. I had been waiting for Meadow's story and even messaged Amo about it and so when I had gotten my grabby hands on it I had a lot of excitement and anticipation and it did not disappoint me!! I just LOVED the dynamic and beautiful yet dysfunctional relationship between Meadow and Beast. They are broken souls and get each other in ways that no one else could ever fathom or imagine. It's a beautiful thing seeing how after one

I was so excited to start this book, but in the end, I was just underwhelmed. Firstly, I felt like I jumped into the middle of a series and didn't know most of the characters' back stories (which I hate). Then there were just too many things that happened way too easily or that didn't make sense. I was so mad at the sex scene. Most would have a lot of build up and then cut to, 'after we made love, the next morning...' WHAT???? I demand details damnit.

Holyyyyyyyyy shit gurl that was too much fuck didn't like the beginning fuckin hate that shit then BOOM Beast sexy bastard sweeps in saves the day took me on wild ride with this one loved it, was good to see Zane and the boyz in this one I know Hella is next he has to be, once again loved this book well all your books so far keep up the great work.
41/2 Beast Stars
I didn't expect this one to be more tamer than her other books yet it still holds that slight grittiness to the story but not OTT however I do love the interactions between Beast and Meadow and if you have some hot bad boy bikers that connects just makes it more enjoyable but if you have the crazy friends like Hella and Melissa well, I'm onto them now. ...more

Way too many coincidences between random characters made me drop out. It's a personal book peeve. Might not bother others as much.

This read is dark, gritty, and freaking fabulous!! I love reading a hard dark romance with hot anti-hero’s. And a story which includes hot MC members. The author does an amazing job of making sure we get a glimpse of the other characters for the upcoming installment. With so much hotness bouncing off the pages I am eager to continue the series. No cliffhanger but you know who the next book is about which I am diving into now. The characters banter is so awesome. I was able to feel and understand

This was my first read from Amo Jones and I really enjoyed it, I will be sure to check out her other books. Now it seems this is the first book in a spin off from Amo's Sinful Souls MC series, as the SS appear in this book. From what I read about them in 136 Scars though, I wasn't lost on anything, so I don't think it's essential you read them before reading this one.
Beast was brought up from birth to be a soldier. Not the nice, serve your country, Army type soldier, ...more

“Every scar has its story.”
This is the first book I've read from this author, definitely will not be my last. I'm not a huge MC reader. I'm rather picky, actually. But I loved this one. I was hooked from the start, every free chance I got, I was devouring the pages. I'd label this as Romantic Suspense. There's a bit of darkness, especially in the beginning, things taper down in the middle, then action and darkness to conclude the book.

OMG and WOW... This was a fantastic book!!! The first few chapters fill you in on both characters background and bloody hell, how they both came through what they both suffered and turned into such amazing people... Amazing!!! I know some will say "It's only a book" but to that i will say YES but its written with such emotion and passion that reading the pages, i truly could feel every word and emotion to the point i felt part of the actual book!!!

We first meet Meadow when she is four years old and in class she was asked to draw a picture of her dad. We meet Beast while he is trying to escape. Meadow is always being made fun of at school, her father is a very bad man. She knows to not plead with her father to get him to stop because he wont. Beast can hear the crying and screaming coming from the apartment next to his. Meadow went to New York and meets Phoebe and they become very good friends. Meadow and Beast meet again in Westbeach,

This story was raw and intense. It is very compelling and has a lot going on. Meadow is a woman troubled by her very emotionally and physically scarring past. I cried so much for this girl/woman and all that she endured and lost. She has a few close friends but stays away from men. All men. No relationships ever. Until Beast. Beast is a man that has finally broken away from the h*ll he was in and found family in the MC. He becomes the man he was always meant to be. Beast is ...more

This was the first MC series I’ve read in awhile and it was everything I didn’t realize I was missing. One Hundred and Thirty-Six Scars is fucking amazing. It’s so full of emotion and passion. I love Meadow and Beast. Gah! Beast! He is so perfect... totally fucked up, but also so compassionate and loving towards Meadow. She is pretty badass in her own right. I love it when heroines get to kick some ass and Meadow definitely came through!
Another great thing about this book is the awesome cast of ...more
his is an incredibly dark love story about two broken people who’ve been faced with horrible and at times even unthinkable circumstances throughout their lives finding each other and creating something beautiful from the darkness. I’ve been in a bit of a dark phase lately and this book was exactly what I’ve been looking for! I will warn however, that there are some seriously disturbing events that take place here that could act as triggers for some people. I personally find it difficult to read

Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she's probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She's a profound work-a-holic, but when she's not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand.
