Stunich knows what she's doing with these cliff hangers. It's the only thing keeping me reading these books. I feel like I'm in a toxic relationship where it's mostly just bad but I'm getting just enough crumbs of good or maybe more accurately potential that I stick around. There's so much needless fluff and a lot of it is just boring. 

The plot holes are next level. The suspension of disbelief required is unreal and frustrating. These havoc boys are supposed to have everything down pat but they couldn't predict some of the fallout that's so obviously set up to happen? 

Weirdly Oscar and Aaron have become slow favourites. Half the time I have trouble differentiating Hal and Calum. Vic is always an arse and he's not even really that good at leading. He's possessive and foul. The spice scenes are getting slowly better but I really need them to be as crazy as the rest of the book is. 

Edit: DNF'd the series. I promise it doesn't get better.
