kaikai1618's review against another edition
These books are trashy YA crack(in a good way) . They're addicting and I love Easton so I was thrilled to see there was more on one of my favorite characters. I couldn't put this book down and these books are crazy filled with Royal drama. These Royals have completely ruined me.
The writing is great and shows the layers and complexity of the characters. This isn't the normal boy meets girl who doesn't like him and he catches her very soon after. This is complex with the crazy Royal drama we've come to love and we delve more into these people who aren't simple and have a lot hidden behind what they seem like at Astor Park. Each book pulls you deeper and deeper into the Royal world of crazy.
I NEED TO RANT SPOILER SECTION*********
Holy shit what the actual fuck I am so mad at Erin Watt for trying to give me a heart attack again
First of all I loved Hartley and I appreciate her attitude and complex background that makes her a more humble person. As much as I love East he needs to get his shit together. I like the idea of him learning some lessons on how to be more humble and to control his lack of a filter. And I think how he's learning is realistic cause he still has a lot to learn after a lifetime of entitlement. And I loved learning more about Easton's character though and seeing the parts of him he tries to hide from. Steve was his role model and he looked up to him but Steve had darkness underneath all the good hearted fun he lived life through.
Also Steve is pissing me off and he needs to go to jail. And holy shit I never thought about East maybe being Steve's kid until Hartley's horrible father brought it up.
I knew Felicity was going to pull some shit where she would put drugs in Hartley's locker (what I guessed but it was cheating notes)or something but everything spiraled out of control so fast. There is no order I'm just writing what comes to mind. Felicity is scary and some more drama is gonna come from the next book. Is the next book the last? I feel like I want some novellas or just more information on some of the other characters.
Anyway but what I'm dying to rant about is the end.

So this happens in book two also where everything has gone to hell but Erin Watt is thinking no this isn't enough drama and torment let's add in this. Which was Steve.
And now after East messes up and Hartley is pissed as hell at her situation and Easton, she goes to drive and what happens? There's a goddamn car crash. And who's in the car who might be dead with blood all over them. Sebastian. And Sawyer is in the car unconscious or worse with blood down his face, and Lauren is screaming but she can't even tell which boyfriend is which. And I'm in emotional trauma. It's all so sudden and shitty that I drop my kindle and roll around in anguish because OF COUSE WATT HAD TO KILL OR INJURE SOMEONE LIKE WE WEREN'T ALREADY IN A HORRIBLE SITUATION. Can you please stop toying with my emotions I can't handle this. And even better I read ahead to see:
Don't worry! There's another book coming out in January 2018! Not that long right? (Evil laughing in the background as Erin Watt kills the fans that are ruined by the Royals)
So I'm reminded why I should never read books until they're all published ughhhhhh but it was Easton.
Great book but even more death of my soul thanks a lot I'm going to have a heart attack one day from reading scaring literature.

Another cliffhangerrrrr. I love this series. It was a pity that Reed was not in the story. On to the next and last book..

Thank you to the author for giving me a copy of this. As a thank you, here is my review:
I felt two things going into this: pure excitement and pure fear. I loved the first three and I really enjoyed Easton's character so of course for him to be getting his own story was great. Plus just the idea of more Royals books. But then there's the fact that maybe this wouldn't be as good as the first three. As great as Easton is maybe his story wouldn't be as good as Reed and Ella's was and it would bum me out. so many series do this and often they ruin it by writing about other characters.
As I thought the excitement aspect won out. Easton was funny, charming, amusing and also a great male character in a blooming romance.... Should this be called a romance yet? Because bad-boy Easton who can get "any" girl was paired with Hartley by our brilliant authors. Hartley, who like him comes from money, but unlike him is not rich. Due to all sorts of family drama she was sent away but is now back and surviving on her own. She doesn't give Easton the time of day, making this romance so far a no-go. So they become friends...friends with attraction. Especially on his part.
Hartley is an enjoyable new character to the series. I think the books need someone like her. She brings some flare and attitude to the books and i love how she's already calming Easton down.
I really enjoyed all the cameos by the past characters: Ella, who still attends school with Easton, Val, her friend. His twin brothers and Lauren their girlfriend, who is being made to be different than we know her in the first three. I was bummed we didn't see Reed (yet?). he only popped up in text and a phone call. Even Steve and Callum made appearances. since they were all such big parts of the first three I was happy that the authors didn't forget about them now that Ella's story and drama is over.
This wouldn't be a Royals book, though, if it did not have a cliffhanger. THIS book isn't officially out yet and I already can't wait for #5. Ugh, why Erin Watt, would you do this!?

Dieses Buch war ganz nett, als Ergänzung zur ursprünglichen Paper Trilogie. Der Schreibstil war auch hier echt toll, und man möchte immer weiterlesen. Trotzdem hat mir irgendwie das gewisse etwas gefehlt, und die Geschichte war nicht so authentisch, wie viele andere die ich dieses Jahr schon gelesen habe. Außerdem gab es viele Längen. Ich mochte es trotzdem, mehr über Easton zu erfahren, und werde auch den nächsten band lesen, weil man aufgrund eines Cliffhangers mal wieder gar nicht anders kann.
