Short Review: Romance, romance, romance. Please stop with the romance! I know i'm a girl, but damn, i hate romance, and this book was 94% romance, and 6% bike stuff. I wanted it to be at least 50% bike stuff, but hey, why have a biker gang in a book if you only wanted to have the MCs f*ck each other! Ugh. The Girl MC (yah i don't even give a fuck about her name) was the shallowest bitch around. The Boy MC (again, idgaf) was just as shallow. "her thighs bring in my fantasies, and i have to swallow the goan." BARF. Stop this. Go back to the biker gang stuff, and stay there please!

Not being a teen, nor working with teens, it's hard for me to say exactly what a teen will like. However, I think the honesty in Katie McGarry's books will resonate with teenagers. Walk the Edge's characters have intense feelings that rings true with the passion of first love. The motorcycle club premise is interesting as the author does a good job making them seem like the complicated good guys, despite their reputation and some borderline behaviors, while the teenagers face very modern and realistic "youth" problems as well. Advance readers' copy provided by Netgalley and the publisher for an honest review.
Thunder Road Book 2
Breanna has a lot of responsibilities at home helping her parents take care of her siblings; so she doesn't need the added stress of being blackmailed by Kyle, the alpha jock, who wants her to write his English papers. When Thomas "Razor" of the local motorcycle club, Reign of Terror, steps in to help her things get even more complicated. What happens when a good-girl and the bad-boy fall in love? HS relationships, bullying, romance

HS relationships, bullying, romance
“The boy everyone sees but nobody knows is with the girl who everybody knows but nobody sees.”
While I was reading Nowhere but Here I fell in love with Razor, and I couldn't help myself but pray for book 2 to be about him. And thankfully I was damn lucky. Katie wrote his story and it was exactly what I wanted and expected.
“If you want out of the box you hide in, then you need to crack open the flaps and bask in some sunlight.”
I started this book with my expectations pretty high, but this is Katy, so I wasn't let down. Razor story is heartbreaking and beautiful. If I fell in love with him in Oz's book, in this one I was left on my knees begging for a Razor in my life. As you might or not know, I have a motorcycle licence and as much as I wish to be crazy and fearless like this guys I don't trust myself or the bike enough for this. Although if I had a Razor
As for Breanna I also really liked her. I thought she would what was being asked of her, but she stood up for herself the best she could and never even considered giving up and not being true to herself. I also respected how brave she was with Terror and Razor. I think she dealt with everything pretty well. But her family is another conversation entirely. Sometimes I wished I could pull some hair and kick some balls. Most of them were fucking jerks. I really hope I'm never like this to either my brothers or my kids, please someone jus kick some sense into me if I do.
“I promise I’ll take care of you,” he whispers. “You’re safe with me.”
The romance was right on point. It didn't feel rushed at all. I really liked the pace. How she was pretty damn scared of him but he earned her trust. And then how they formed a friendship before giving in to their feelings. How they worked together and how they minds were in sync. Oh and the kisses between these two?! Left me sweating. Well they didn't even need to kiss. Sometimes the tension was enough.
“Someone's love can only hold together broken pieces for so long.”
As you might have noticed I really enjoyed this book. And I loved seeing Oz and
“There's a comfort in fitting in, even if it's just with one person.”
And please let's not forget that in book 3, Isaiah will show up. I'm so ready for that!
I think I expected too much but ayyy it was cute af! And where the fuck is my precious baby Isaiah??

GIMME GIMME THIS NOW!!!!!!

A few more glances and a clearing of her throat. She’s waiting for me to leave. Her life sucks because I’m not going anywhere. “I’m Razor”
GIMME GIMME THIS NOW!!!!!!
I liked this one more than the first one, Breanna was a really relatable character (for me), so it was easy to sympathize with her.
I thought it was cool that Razor had a more critical view of the club, because Oz sometimes got a bit annoying in his unwavering love for the Terror.

Cute and fun but has a real and slightly darker tone running through it and I just loved it's,
I loved the main characters, both so different and special and just oral all love cupcakes that I wanted to gobble up and keep save!
The girl is special because her brain works differently and by that I mean that she is a genius with words and puzzles and anything her brain can try and figure out how it works as long as it's not math! So she really is a very different character and she is written veery realistic. Because while I am no genius I have a very similar brain and I had so many similar problems growing up as she did (well without the cute gang member, the million siblings and the blackmail.... So bad I ally nothing alike)
But she was fantastic to read and see in a fictional character and I just love her!
And razor! He is fantastic! I love that he follows through win what he wanted to do and through he needed to do even if it gone against all he believed in! That was fantastic!
And he was basically a huge scary looking teddy that everyone completey overlooked or feared or thought of as stupid and he was basically the opposite of the main girl, since he is a genius in math!
So loved two very smart and completely underestimated main characters that worked tougher and where smart to together and just overall completely cute.
I also loved that the siblings where horrible.
Which sounds strange, but while I love my sister? We are too different from one Angie's to really understand the other. And while my sister didn't really bully me as the poor main girl had to suffer through, my own sister always know how to hit where it hurt the most as well. I am guessing she could say the same for me, siblings seemed to be able to do that.
So it was kind of great to she that side of sibling relationships in a book.
I hated the parents, from both mains. Just man up and be a parent! You decided to have a kid, act like it.
Which is guess meant they where written nicely since kind of wanted to slam something heavy and hard over all their heads in hopes that something might rattle in there and start to work again.
All in all this book was fantastic and loved that we got a small glimps of Emily and oz as well and it was just a glorious ride and i and a magnificent time and really, really, really recommend this book!

the ending messed me up
Actual review
I don’t know what it is about this author but she can rip my heart apart and put it back together in the best most possible way. Funnily enough, I also discovered quiet a pattern. In both of her series I did enjoy the first book but neither one fully gripped me. Because of that it takes me ages to buy the second book but when I finally do…. I absolutely fall in love with it.
Razor’s and Breanna’s story didn’t grip me right from the beginning, I must admit. It was rather that kind of story that you fall in love with slowly, without realizing, and at the end you sit there feeling kind of lost because how can something that made you feel this much be suddenly over?
I could really identify with Breanna. Not with the whole good-memory thing but her feeling like she was hiding who she really was and wanting to not hide it any longer. It is something I struggled with a lot during my last years of high school but something I am proud of having overcome.
Razor, oh what can I say? Characters like him make my heart ache. I really had difficulty seeing how I could like him from what I read in the first book… but he did win me over quiet quickly. I am glad he was able to figure out what happened to his mother and to see how his relationship with his father improved.
This ending. I just. I love a good old bittersweet ending. It made me feel so much and after finishing this book I had to take a few minutes to try to rein in my emotions again.
I haven’t had this level of intensity with a book in quiet some time and I was beginning to wonder if I had lost the ability to feel like this because of a book…. Glad to see I haven’t. which is also why I wrote this review right after finishing this and those reviews are most of the time my best ones
I don’t really know what more to say. This book captivated me. I couldn’t stop turning pages. It made my heart ache, break and put it back together and I now desperately need the third book. yes, also to see Breanna and Razor again
Actual review
“Sometimes people don’t listen until bad things happen. They realize then they should have listened instead of talked. Sometimes people are too busy hearing what they want to hear, seeing what they want to see, and they don’t care what’s real, only what they think is real.”
