My full reviews are on each individual book. But the extra scenes were SO amazing.

A wild and unexpected story
The story of the Wolf of Mounts Bay is by far one of my favorite books. I love the unique elements of the twelve and the absolute bad a$$ main character. The omnibus is the four books with extra snippets that make me want so much more of the amounts Bay saga.
The first two books are slow burn, but action packed and as the story goes on the action, suspense and blood just continues to increase in intensity. I just loved it!

This series caught me up in the story from the first chapter. I absolutely love Lip’s character, doing what she needs to in order to survive, yet still keeping a part of herself. This is an enemies to lovers romance with the suspense that comes when dealing with a secret society. Watching how these relationships unfold, from the ones with her male counterparts and the finding her best friend in Avery, was made these books incredible to read. I loved every minute I spent with the Mounty and her family.

I love this book. I think I have read the series separately about 6 times and read this twice. This has an extra scene at the end of each book from another characters perspective so adds a little more to it. I love how detailed it all is and how even the little things follow throughout the stories. Can’t wait to continue reading what happens next in Mounts Bay!

Super dark but so enjoyable! 5 stars!
I didn't expect to enjoy this so much! I'm not usually into MC romances or mafia/crime lord types of stories, but I got so invested in Lips and her family. I’ll admit I hated nearly everyone for all the bullying Lips endured in the first book, but most of them become family in a way that makes it easier to forgive them.
Ash, Blaise, and Harley become prime book boyfriend material. I only wanted more of them, and we got a lot! Yes, I'm an addict, and I'd like all three of them too, please!
There are some great twists I didn't see coming throughout this series. It gets progressively darker as the books go on, but it also ramps up the steam. I can't wait to see what happens with Avery, and I'm seriously hoping we get to spend some time with the new characters we meet at the end of the series.
I'm so happy to have more to read before I'm done with Mounts Bay!

Overall I had a fun time reading this book, but I do think the last book dragged things out a little too much. Also, why were they in high school like in the first book, they are literally freshmen in high school. A lot of this would have worked better if it was set in college. The characters were all interesting, and I loved the different types of friendship dynamics. The plot got a little messy in the last book but I still think it was fun.

Hmmm
Interesting. Not entirely sure what to think of this. It’s over the top drama. But I do like the story line

Amazing!!
This series hooks you in from the very beginning. You are taken on a rollercoaster ride of a lifetime in this series and boy is it worth it. All the ups and downs and the twists, the reveals, all of it just keeps you wanting more. Lips and her guys, along with Avery go through things that can only be unimaginable but they only keep getting stronger. As the series goes on the relationship and friendships grows and the family they’ve created grows as well. They learn who they can and cannot trust, and who will actually have their backs during the war against the Senior Beaumont and the Jackal. Over all, it’s a great series and definitely recommend.

Just Drop Out is book one in the Hannaford Prep series. A reverse harem dark romance with bully themes.
This is definitely a slow burn and while I usually hate that. This book has me so hooked. It’s so plot driven that it’s easy to get consumed by it.
Lips is a foster kid trying to make a better life. But there’s more to her than the preppy elite of Hannaford see. She will not break, not matter what they throw at her.
Harley is the hot bad boy. Ash only cares about three things - his twin sister Avery, Blaise and cousin Harley. Blaise is the vocalist of Vanth Falling. Avery gives off superior rich girl vibes.
Then there is the twins brother Joey, he’s an arrogant cliche rich boy. But there’s a sociopath lurking under that cliche.
This book sets this series up perfectly. Not only with the main characters but the breadcrumbs for the world of Mounts Bay!
The bully elements and trauma in this book can be very comforting to some. Please be aware there is bullying, violence, graphic depictions of past experiences and once again this is a dark romance.

Make Your Move is book two in the Hannaford Prep. A reverse harem dark romance with bully themes.
This series just continues to draw you in and make it impossible to stop. The slow burn works so well with how the plot unfolds and the puzzle pieces that are given throughout this book.
The friendship between Avery and Lips is one of my favourite things about this series. It's every kind of emotion from frustrating, adoration, hilarity and of course unwavering loyalty. This book is where the boys finally see who Lips is. It also gives more breadcrumbs for things to come in future books.
The cliffhanger though, leaves you craving more and brings us to the next stage of the series.

Play the Game is book three in the Hannaford Prep. A reverse harem dark romance with bully themes.
This book has quite a few sub plots that unfold within the series and has Lips completely stepping out of the hold of the Jackal and making sure he knows it.
We also meet Illi (Johnny Illium, The Butcher of the Bay) and Odie (his wife Odette) their story can be found in the Mounts Bay Saga Butcher of the Bay Part 1 and 2. Illi has known Lips since she first went into foster care and she helped save Odie (this is not a spoiler)
There are small breadcrumbs throughout this book that open up the plot to not only the next book - To The End. But also to The Queen Crow series. Rereading has brought all this moments out for me and made it such an enjoyable read.
The characters develop further too, not just in the relationships within their found family but within themselves. I find this makes the series flow better than others, especially when you consider their ages at the beginning of the series.
This book ends on my favourite cliffhanger. While it leaves you guessing and wondering how this come to happen. It's been a long time coming!

To the End is book four and the final book in the Hannaford Prep series. A reverse harem dark romance with bully themes.
This book has some of my absolute fave moments not just within the harem with Lips and the boys but our side characters really come to play here.
Everything comes to a head (pun intended) with this book, every unanswered question and breadcrumb you grasped onto comes to a close in the best possible way. It’s brilliantly written and I really enjoyed how it unfolded. Don’t let my enthusiasm confuse you, this book is dark, savage and twisted. But in the best possible ways.
Even on my reread I love how Lips and her found family don’t pull any punches here. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re on the fence about this book or this series, trust me you need it in your life.
We also have a fantastic prologue of shorts into the Queen Crow series that follows this and focus around Avery and her relationships.
I look forward more from J Bree within this world. Still hoping for more from the Devil and Vanth Falling
