Hot!!

This series is amazing. Book 1 was a nice taste while book two leave you addicted. Not sure I will make it to book 3! Dark and twisted.

*taps mic*
Um, is this thing on?
It’s March 1st.
Where is this sequel?!?!?!?!?
*screams*

Review:
Honestly, this was a long wait and while I’m totally okay with that, I’m still a little bit disappointed at the back and forth about release dates. Just don’t put a release date if you’re not ready and then no one cares when it’s late. I don’t mean any harm by that and I full support authors and understand missing deadlines, but I’m also super into time management and realistic expectations so I can’t help but feel like no release date is better than one that is far too early.

It was a decent sequel, but I am torn between wanting to grab popcorn while she works her way through the friend group screaming You Go Girl, you missed this one, you better find an opportunity!
and wanting to throw the book because if there is this much crime and underground sex trafficking happening to people all over her town and all this stuff involves so many people, she should be working with the group to actually stop it instead of just getting distracted every 5 seconds by dick.

I mean, I’m the wrong audience anyway. I don’t quite get the RH thing, even though I really enjoyed Havoc. I want her to get around to everyone for the sheer entertainment and shock factor, but I think overall it’s really not my jam.

Still, if you’re into this sort of RH Bully Romance, I do think this is one of the better series out there!

An amazing part two to the story! Absolutely loved it! I definitely recommend you read the series, and you won't be disappointed!!

Read this legit right after finishing the first book. SO GOOD. Addictive for sure so let's get into it.

Again, I'm surprised how much the plot drives the story and how intrigued I've been the entire time. The gang stuff is interesting but the idea of Bernie's list getting done while other stuff occurs just makes me want to get to the end. You know she's gonna get her revenge but at what cost and will every single person get theirs or will people escape? And at what point will the HAVOC boys lose their influence because there's this underlying feeling that eventually that could happen.

I looooooved the growing relationships between everyone in this second book. We got more with Hael and his actual feelings instead of just his wiener. We got so much more from Callum which I loved (his dancing is actually adorable) and FINALLY we got some more resolution with Aaron -- I'd been waiting for that. Their little reuniting was *chef's kiss*. I honestly get conflicted with the Oscar situation. I do however like that it's sort of her trying to chase/break him down, because normally it's the other way around. (I'm still blown away that he was a virgin -- that was crazy).

The whole marriage thing is an interesting touch too. The fact Victor has this sort of...tangible hold on Bernie is an odd shift in the dynamic especially because he's boss. It's complicated and I love it. I also love that Bernie isn't totally sure what her feelings are for everyone. Like she loves the boys but isn't the best at expressing her feelings so she sort of lets them guide things. It's an interesting dynamic for sure.

I loved that we finally got some vengeance too. Her list of people is getting completed and watching her enemies drop is beyond satisfying.

The one thing I'll say that is sort of starting to piss me off is how possessive Victor is. Like Bernie is a free spirit (clearly) and she cares for every single one of the boys. She wants to be with all of them and he's sort of boxing her in, making it seem like once they get married she's only his which is crap. I get that that's "his thing" or whatever, but she's gotta put her foot down.

I also really want to see more of them all ~together~ if you catch my drift. We got a small little bit of it when Victor got all pissed about her and Hael but it was sort of cut short/not what I reaaaalllly wanted.

Regardless, so entertaining and I'm currently tearing through book 3. :)

This series just shook my head around, I'm so intrigued as to what is going to happen. There wasn't a boring moment and each character is given there time to shine. I will say that Bernie can be very insufferable sometimes and down right misogynistic and the modern references and outdated slang terms were a little bit much

We’re starting to see a slow, very slow formation of togetherness with everyone. Which is good because what was happening in this book needed it needed them all together.

I also like, how are you getting flashbacks of them during sophomore year and the boys point of use during bits and pieces of the first book.

You can finally see them actually being in love with her or very strong like. I will say that I am very proud of the fitting end of one disgusting, disgusting pig. Now I’m just waiting on the shoe to drop on the other people on the list but also her mother.

I am onto the next book because this should be very interesting!

Amazing

I loved this book and can't wait to read the 3rd book. In this book we get to see more of past history with the characters. Get ready for a crazy ride!
