I really liked Violet as a character. She wasn't afraid to stand up for herself, and she knew what she wants. Chevy was also different from Oz and Razor. I liked him as a character as well. :)

This was probably my favorite book in the entire series. Three books in, I've gotten to know all of the characters pretty well from the varying perspectives, and while I enjoyed each of them, Violet's perspective was by far my favorite.

Violet is the best damn protagonist of the entire series, if I'm being honest (and not just because she was the most kickass female of the bunch). While she was just as faulted and dysfunctional as the other "Terror" kids (mainly referring to Oz, Razor and Chevy) I wasn't once annoyed with her decisions/behaviors. She was stubborn and brave, and she jumped in front of a goddamn bullet without thinking twice about it because she was protecting someone she loved - what is not to love about THAT?

I really enjoyed this series. I think this book lost points for me because although I really liked it, it did feel reminiscent of other similar books..at times I wondered if I had already read this one. Overall, the story was good and I loved the character dynamics.

Not as "good" as the others...or maybe I got tired of the cheesiness.

Well, I cried. More than once. I know Katie McGarry said there weren't going to be anymore, but I feel like Addison needs a book, too! I'm not ready for the series to be over!

I received a digital sampler of Long Way Home through Net Galley Harlequin Teen for an honest review

The story is about bad boy Chevy who is torn between his motor cycle club and his love for football. And then there's Violet. The girl who he loves, but doesn't have anymore. Violet just wants to leave town and never look back at it and The Terror. She has an autistic-like little brother, who she loves dearly and tries to help in any way she can. She promised Brandon that he will never get hurt again. But can she hold that promise when a rival Motor Cycle Club is on the move and looking for trouble?

I really liked this sampler of Long Way Home by Katie McGarry. The storyline was great, interesting and surprising. The writing style is pleasant to read and doesn’t let you put this book down. I’m curious to see what happens next in this book!
Look for LONG WAY HOME, on sale January 31st from Harlequin TEEN and Katie McGarry. Preorder your copy today and you will also receive three bonus scenes featuring fan-favourite Katie McGarry characters.

“I fell into way too many things with Chevy. The suck part about falling is that eventual crash landing.”

This was probably my favorite of the series! Super cute with the right amount of angst.

This series is so well done. I love the way these kids have bonded and are so supportive of one another. After being pushed away by Vi for months, when she needs them, there is no hesitation. They show up and stand fast.
Vi is so spunky and full of life she has struggled since she lost her dad and pushed everyone away, even the boy she's loved for years.
Chevy is an observer. He knows little about his dad and his mother hates the motorcycle club that his grandfather and uncle are in.
Of course there is trouble with the Riot and drama with who to trust. However, what I love about these books is that the teenagers make tough choices that they struggle with. They often stand up to the adult to demand they have a say. They are usually not disrespectful and have a right to know the truth of the situation. The adults are not perfect in these books and their mistakes are shown as well.
This wasn't my favorite in the series but it was a good read.
