ok beginning

It was ok. It just wasn’t enough to get me invested in the characters. I read this for the background to sinners playground so I knew exactly what the boys had done and it just didn’t live up to my expectations

I'M STUNNED. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS. this is the first romance series i read from caroline peckham and susanne valenti and I'M IN LOVE. 
i was in the fattest reading slump and started 5 different books, but i couldn't get into them. i decided to randomly pick this book up AND I DEVOURED IT. i read it in one sitting. if you love reverse harems than this book is definitely for you. 
considering it is a novella, it gives everything that a book should give. it was never boring, the plot was giving and the tension was immaculate. I CANNOT WAIT to continue this series. i'm already so in love with Fox, he is MY TYPE of character, especially his cold-hearted self in the end. also...HUMMINGBIRD! i'm loving that nickname. Maverik in the first chapters was chef's kiss. i fell in love with him immediately. i really loved Chase's background and i cannot wait to explore it more, but him and JJ in this novella weren't my faves out of the four. with this being said, i would give this book 5 stars, but considering it is only the prequel and a small novella, i'm going to put 4 stars. as for entertainment... immediate 5 stars!

Devil's Pass is the novella within The Harlequin Crew series. In it, you get to know the entire back story of what happened before Rogue was forced to leave town. At first, you can see that they all pretty much like one another. Until they have to break her heart and make her think she's been played.

Besides that, I feel like all their problems could be solved if they just freaking talked. With Chase assuming the absolute worst and not asking just pissed me off. Then with how they treated Rogue to get her to leave also pissed me off. It just goes to show that men ain't shit and they deserve everything that's coming to them.

Now I'm ready for the second book in this series.

I’m rereading all the books I have read in this series before Gallows Bridge. I never actually read the prequel and just started with book 1 on my first read but I’m so glad I read this. It really shows how close Rogue and the boys are with so many scenes being really cute. It also shows how they became enemies and how everything was set in motion!

“Fox, JJ, Maverick and Rogue. Especially Rogue. She was everything. She had always been everything. The centre of our world here in Sunset Cove.”

Four teenage boys and their BFF girl friend Rogue have a friendship so tight and secure, their bond with each other is friendship goals.
Sometimes friendship that you think are unbreakable can shatter overnight.

What happens when your friend gets nearly raped and she ends up killing her rapist? Said rapist is part of a gang. If there’s a witness and that rat narks to the notorious gang leader that rules the town?!
Shit goes pretty haywire when one of the boys in the friendship is the gang leaders son.
These four boys love Rogue and are willing to kill and die for her but unfortunately they must shatter their relationship in order to save her life.

Left her alone to fend for herself you can only imagine the bitterness and hatred that she brews her mind against the people she called her family and her best friends.

This was a lovely prequel to the book Sinners Playground.
I sense a bully romance, enemies to lovers, and definitely reverse harem! This prequel had some pretty dark moments so I’m definitely excited to read Sinners Playground!
