50% DNF. This book had so much potential and yet it just….sucked. If these boys tormented her, like full on bullying, how can she just hang around them all the time as if they’re besties? I wanted so much more from this and just can’t be bothered reading a whole series if this is what it’s going to be like. 1.5/5.

H.A.V.O.C. is the one word you never utter at Prescott High, that is unless you want them to own you.
Hael, Aaron, Victor, Oscar, and Callum.
Prescott High is a hellhole at the Havoc boys rule the halls.
And once upon a time, they ruled Bernadette. She endured their crap for an entire year.
But, she's decided that her senior year is going to be different.
Bernadette has decided that this is the year that she's going to own them.
She's made a deal with the Havoc Boys to get the revenge she deserves.
And their price? Her. To be at their beck and call, in their beds, and to be a part of their gang.
Their girl.
The Havoc Girl.
The boys who made her life hell are now going to help Bernadette get her revenge against everyone that has everyone who has ever wronged her – everyone but themselves.
HAVOC AT PRESCOTT HIGH is a 105,000 word mature high school/new adult romance with enemies-to-lovers/love-hate themes. It has brief flashbacks of past bullying incidents as well as foul language and sexual scenes; any sex featured is consensual. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book one of three in the series.
Havoc at Prescott High is the 1st book in The Havoc Boys series by C.M. Stunich. I am a huge fan of C.M. Stunich so this book was a no-brainer for me to read. This book is a dirty, nitty, gritty, intense book
C.M. Stunich has taken an intriguing take on this genre. We get to see the bullying that Bernadette goes through in a series of flashbacks rather than seeing Bernadette going through it in the present day. Honestly, as we only see the bullying through flashbacks I don't think that we get the full scope of everything that Bernadette actually went through and the real depth of the bullying.
This is a story that grabs you right from the start, hooks you, and keeps you reading to the very end. Yes, it is a lengthy real and it's filled with angst, drama, hot boys, and tension, and C.M. Stunich doesn't stay away from any of the taboo subjects. She deals with them head-on on and then she handles those subjects with grace, and tenderness, and she handles it with carefully ensuring that it was handled carefully.
C.M. Stunich had the balls to go there with the topics that she talked about. I loved that this is such a gritty, dirty, sexy, RH romance, full of suspense. And honestly, there is just so much to unpack. And I have to say that I just loved it as I love Dark RH Romance books. I am a sucker for them.
I would recommend this book and this series, even without having read the entire series I would recommend it. I love C.M. Stunich and her writing and I would suggest you read anything by this author.

I don't know how I feel about this one, guys.
Was it relatable? Nah. Was it entertaining? Yes, but in a dark and depressing kind of way.
Havoc at Prescott High was a wild ride—full of drama, tension, violence, and plenty of steamy moments. The characters were intense, and the plot kept me hooked, though at times it felt a little too chaotic, even for a dark high school romance.
I liked Bernardette, our main character and sole narrator. She was resilient and tough as nails, if a little grim and gloomy. And I loved her messed-up history and dynamics with each of the HAVOC boys (Hael, Aaron, Victor, Oscar, and Callum), but all of the conflicts were very extreme and terribly distressing. CSA, suicide, bullying, abuse, neglect... it was a lot for a 15-year-old girl to have to go through.
My heart broke for Bernie, having to deal with the guys' nasty side at the same time she had grown men making unwanted (and highly illegal) advances towards her. Her pain and suffering were stark and sharp, and I hated the guys for adding to it, terrorizing and harassing her when she was already struggling and barely keeping her head above water.
But all of this we learn through recountings and short flashbacks. The main timeline was that of 17-year-old Bernardette. It was an interesting switch (compared to some of Caitlin's other HS bully RH romance series like the Adamson All-Boys Academy and Rich Boys of Burberry Prep), how the bullying had already happened off-page, and we joined the story for the revenge part of it. It was time to sic the infamous and feared Havoc boys, her once tormentors, on everyone else who'd played a part in making her life the nightmare it was.
The writing was engaging, and the pacing kept things moving, but I wish there had been a bit more depth to balance out all the chaos, even if I know that'll come in future books. Also, it was a bit frustrating how these kids REFUSED to talk to each other. Things would have been so much smoother and easier if they'd just communicated a little bit and been a smidge more honest about their feelings. But as age-appropriate as their behavior was on that aspect, on the opposite side, this book was racy as fuck considering all the main characters were underage. A whole lot smuttier than the other High School series I mentioned before, but not quite on the level of the Witchwood Boys. And beyond stupid and irresponsible in how they kept on having sex without using protection. Taking a gamble on an 85-15 chance of having a kid at 17 if a pill fails to do what you expect it to do is insane. Not to mention STDs. No fucking thank you.
If you’re into high drama, dark romance, unapologetic violence, and over-the-top high school hierarchies, this one’s worth checking out. It just didn’t quite hit the mark for me in terms of making me care. Still, a fun, messy read!

I can't decide if I like this or not. It's very violent, and some of the 'revenge plots' seem a bit ridiculous. The ending is a cliffhanger.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
I flew through this series and could not recommend this series more. Loved the dynamic between Bernie and the guys. Bernie is a strong FMC who will do what she has to to survive and may end up thriving as well. Will these men be her greatest strength or her ultimate downfall.
If you are looking for a bully romance look no further. This book will give it all to you, Enemies to lovers, stepbrother romance, reverse haram, marriage of convenience, touch her and die. Please read all triggers and know this is a cliffhanger that will resolve by series end. This was my introduction to C.M. Stunich's books and I am addicted.
