Finally... I wanted to shout to everyone to listen...
Finally, this book arrived and I couldn't start it fast enough.
Just so you know, the first book left me wanting to know more, and with so many questions needed to be answered.
Will we have all those answers?
God... I really hoped.
Allana Walker is the responsible for my torture.
Se had given us one hell of a book and then ended it like that?
Shame on you...
Her writing is hard, raw, wild, and with so much in between.
Nothing Else Matters is her latest release and it's the second book from The Demons Disciples.
But first I must tell you something. This book is not a standalone therefore you must read Three Strikes first.
Go and read my review about it and then dig in.
This new book continues to explore the lives of Daria and Striker.
As you know it, these two had just one encounter almost ten years ago, a quick if you know what I mean.
After that, they parted ways but Daria held one secret.
After that time apart, they reunited again and...
Oh my God... What a ride this book was. What a bumpy journey...
It was one hit after the other and I couldn't catch my breath.
Perfect plot, well written, super intense, dark, and hot at the same time.
One minute things were going to a bad place and the next it was even worse.
Bump after bump. Fight after fight.
And wanna know a secret? I loved it. Really loved it.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to hold them and promise better days but just one flick of the page and I would take it all back.
These two are so freaking stubborn.
It was infuriating sometimes, but they were perfect for each other.
Overall, it was an intense reading, with lots of bumps but with so many emotions in between.
I adored these characters and I wanted more.
Perfect book Allana. You nailed it with these two books.
And being greedy... What's next? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Warning! Warning!! (But oh, so good!)
This is the second book on Stryker and Daria’s journey. I have to say that there are triggers in both of their books but I also loved how the author wasn’t afraid to tackle some of these issues head on. This couple is still struggling to get things right. It doesn’t help that Daria is holding on to some powerful things that happened to her in the past that is shaping her life as it is now. This story also has you wondering just what it going to push Stryker back to the person that Daria first met. Believe me that person is someone no one wants to ever face.
You need to read Three Strikes which is the first book in Stryker and Daria’s story it will be well worth it. Nothing Else Matters took me on quite the ride. It was emotionally charged, biker-style steamy, and full of family dynamics that had me turning page after page just to see how everything would end for this turbulent couple.

Striker and Daria just can’t come to terms with one another. They are both stubborn and very bull headed. Daria can’t give into him bc she knows it will only cause pain. Striker only wants what’s best for her and that’s him 100%. Excellent writing.

This is part two of Daria and Striker’s story, so you really need to read part one before attempting this. They know they belong together but getting to and staying at that point is a struggle for them. Once they get there, albeit on shaky ground, drama ensues. Can they overcome secrets, lies and betrayal to have a lasting relationship?

You could not ask for a better conclusion! Filled with drama & betrayal, throw in the romance, and it will keep you turning the pages! Great writing!

The stunning conclusion to Striker and Daria's story will leave you breathless. From beginning to end it is a fast paced rollercoaster of emotions. Filled with drama, secrets, betrayals, and most of all love, this is a definite must read.

I absolutely love Striker and Daria and all that they are. They are complicated and beautiful and stubborn and so easy to love. I have been around them a long time and I am so happy that I got to read their story and feel like i was a part of it.
Daria is a strong, sassy, mixed up woman but she knows loves fiercely and unapologetically. She is loyal and is the first person you would want at your side. Striker... boy do I love this man! I don't care what anyone says about him he is perfect. He has come so far since having first met Daria and the man he has become is breathtaking (I may be biased). He has become a man worthy of love, from all those around him. Yes he is stubborn, pig headed and an alpha male to his core but he fights for what he loves and he will protect them with his last breath, even if it isn't always for the right reasons or the right thing to do.
These two have such a beautifully complicated love story and it isn't conventional or straight forward but that is what makes it so beautiful. They face their demons, sometimes not directly but they get their in the end. They have their struggles and they each have their own battles with mental health and life but they do come through it stronger. Witnessing them grow into themselves and learning from their pasts is something we all can learn from.

I've gone back & forth in my head about writing this review because of Striker as he was definitely not done with being the d-bag like he was in the first book. Oh by the way, YOU MUST READ Three Strikes (Book 1) FIRST! Anyway, I had to go with 5 stars because while I was reading, I kept telling myself that I would pause at the next chapter until I was left with no more chapters. I could NOT put it down for anything which is a testament to Allana Walker's talent. I really don't want to get into any detail since this is the second book to Daria & Striker's story, and I believe that you'll find yourself unable to put it down like me. Nothing Else Matters is definitely a raw, gritty & dirty read that isn't filled with lollipop hopes & princess dreams so buckle up for the chaotic ride! I'm hooked to Ms. Walker's writing so I seriously hope that she keeps writing about this MC. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is the second part of Striker and Daria's story, you must read book one before even trying to read this or this will make no sense, I had forgotten some bits and it took me a minute to get back on track with the characters and all that had happened previously. Daria and Striker are still trying to make sense of things and make some kind of relationship work. They both know they belong together but getting to that point and staying at that point seems to not work for them. Once again we get a lot of drama, in fact I will say too much drama. The MC's changed rolls; in book one Striker was the mess and Daria was the more level headed one, and this time around it was like Striker was the more level headed while Daria was a hot mess. This was slightly better than book one and I give this 3.5 stars.

When I was writing my review for book one of Daria and Strikers story to say I was left conflicted was an understatement and after reading this conclusion to their story I still feel very much the same. On one hand I was rooting for them to find their happy place on the other their relationship was very much on the toxic side and I had to think would these two be better off apart. There is lots of back and forth between them and Daria is dealing with issues that really effect her mental health but Stricker is by her side throughout.
Overall a good story but it just felt a little filled out and could have probably been wrapped up sooner.
I do though look forward to reading more from Allana Walker in the future.

I had a hard time with book one because of the way Striker treated Daria, but it kept me interested enough to finish the book and want to know where the story went from there.
I had a harder time with book 2. Striker has matured and become a better man, but Daria is a bit hard to take in this book. She’s been through a lot, I get it, but her actions were making me crazy. The story seems to drag on and could have wrapped up, with all the details, with less filler. The end also had me scratching my head. Daria went shopping but waited two years to use what she got? It didn’t make sense to me. 2.5 stars

This is the 2nd and concluding part of Daria and Striker’s story. These two both know that they are fated to be soulmates, but keeping them together is a challenge, as they are both stubborn and bull headed. This is a well written story which is an emotional roller coaster throughout, as well as being a fast-paced read. This story is filled with secrets, lies, betrayal, drama, heartbreak, action, and love. I was hooked and intrigued throughout as well as on tenterhooks. I look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend. Be aware that this story may contain triggers for some readers, as it is not for the feint-at-heart!

This story pulled me back into the world of Daria and Striker. There was so much that they still needed to overcome between them before they could have a happy ending and family. Daria had an inner strength but was too full of secrets to be truly happy. Striker had quite a temper and his own secrets. When they allowed honesty into their relationship, the heat and love came pouring out, although there were still some speed bumps for them to get through. I enjoyed their journey and was glad to finally see how it worked out for them.

Wow another unexpected book.
This was a fantastic way to wrap their story. Although there were less bombshells in this book there certainly wasn't any less blood or drama. With some heart breaking moments, you'll be white knuckling your kindle until you've devoured this book from cover to cover.
The characters were mostly more tolerable than the first book, especially when you get to the bottom of her biggest problem.
Definitely recommend you pick up their story.

This is second part to Three Strikes. And we catch up with Striker and Daria.
They have more ups and downs and have to fight for their relationship.
This book does have warnings.
