I've never read any of Cassandra Robbins' The Disciples series but I've read a lot of Serena Akeroyd's Five Point Mob series and I think Filthy Disciple is my favorite one yet. I felt that this book was a great blend of both authors. Despite not having read Cassandra's book previously I didn't think that the writing was disjointed, both Cassandra and Serena wrote a seamless book. And I wasn't ever really confused having not read The Disciples series. Though I was curious about Isabelle/Belle/Cindy's past relationship with Ryder that was mentioned in the book. I'm also curious about how she was portrayed in the other books, because in this book it doesn't seem like she is overly well liked by her friends but maybe she just burned one bridge too many. After reading Filthy Disciple I definitely want to check out the rest of The Disciples series.
As a warning this book covers topics that may be triggers including abuse, addiction, overdose, and more.

This story is a crossover with Serena Akeroyd's Five Points and Cassandra Robbins' Disciples. I hadn't read any of the Disciple stories but was still able to understand the story line. (I will be following up and reading The Disciples now)
This is the story of Cade and Cindy/Isabelle. Cade has been given a mission by Adian Jr. to retrieve Cindy/Isabelle and bring her home back to her father. After Cade observes the situation, he realizes that the story isn't how it seems.
Now does he still bring her home? Does he find her absolutely beautiful? Is this job going to get him killed either by Adian Jr or the Disciples?
This is a wonderful story to introduce either author to a reader that hasn't read any of their books before. It has its steamy moments and a few triggers that are mentioned at the beginning of the book. If you're still ready, then proceed and welcome to an awesome glimpse into the Five Points and the Disciples.

Having read only the first book in The Disciples series, I do think I might have enjoyed this better having read the other books in both series. Mainly because then I would understand a bit more about Belle's chosen family and Cade's past. This is definitely the type of read where you have to check your personal values and morals at the door. Don't expect this to be a cutesy, hallmark romance. 
Belle did annoy me at times but given her past I did exercise patience with her. I thought her friends and Cade's sisters added a lot more interest to their storyline and without them would have probably not ended up where they did in the end. The smut is a tad bit cliché IMO, but nonetheless it's decent. 
I have not read many books by two authors but do think this one was seamlessly done. The narration for this one is also very well done.

I am obsessed with all things Serena Akeroyd. I really am. If she writes it, I'm gonna read it. She has an AMAZING MC series and Irish Mob series. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who will listen. This story is a crossover though. It's a crossover between an MC and the Irish Mob. The Disciples are based out of California. Belle is a part of the Disciples. Cade, who is a lower ranking member of the Five Points, has been tasked with bringing her home to prove his loyalty and commitment to his job. Belle is having a rough go of it. And Cade is so intrigued by her. But he knows he can't let his brother down and he definitely can't let his boss, Aidan Jr, down. So he does what he has to to convince Belle to go back with him to New York. Even though it's the very last place she wants to go. She's running from something and Cade knows what it is. But he has to do his job, right? Along the way, you know feelings develop. Cade and Belle are more intertwined than they ever thought possible from knowing each other so briefly. But can Belle move past Cade's betrayal? Can Cade let go of his guilt and finally let himself be open to love someone? To know that he DESERVES love? Its definitely a rollercoaster for these two but the story is so great! I really liked Cade. Betrayal and all. And I LOVED his sister and his Ma. I can't wait to read more about them! Ma is everything you could dream of in an Irish mama. The sisters are snarky and funny and full of love no matter how they show it! Belle was tough for me at first but you come to understand why she's the way she is throughout the story. They were so good together so it kind of sucked reading their struggles. But this was such a GOOD crossover book! I was so excited to read it and I'm so glad I was able to! I can't wait for these two to keep writing together! We need this series!

Filthy Disciple was compelling and riveting, I could not put this book down.
Cade and Belle met under deceptive circumstances, Belle unaware that this man was being dishonest. Thus begins a relationship based on lies, on Cade's part, but his hidden agenda shifts and morph's as he gets to know the beautiful woman and her reasons for fleeing New York.
This story took us from the glamour of L.A., to bustling streets of New York, and the challenges of trying to do the right thing. Belle overwhelmed and struggling, and Cade trying to make things right with the Five Points while keeping The Disciples from getting involved.
Wonderful merging of two worlds into an awesome story!
