DO NOT START THIS SERIES UNLESS ALL 5 ARE OUT.
When I started Ravage there was no indication that there would be 5 books, and if I had known, I would have waited to start. You do not want to read the end of book 4 without having the next one readily available.
I made the mistake of tearing through these books without writing a review after each one. So this is an overall review of the series (books 1-4). Overall, I love this series. It's a very good balance of contemporary and paranormal elements. The paranormal parts are easy to understand and follow, which I count as a bonus. The basis of the series is a world where there are "gifted" people. Reagan and her guys (Aiden, Jackson, Kellan and Dane) grew up on an island under Gifted Enterprises (the bad guys). Now they're fighting against Gifted Enterprises to take them down to protect the gifted people of the world.
A quick recap/breakdown for each book, as best as I can remember:
Ravage: Reagan is a strong willed and bad ass character that comes in hot. She's been wronged in the past and she's trying to get revenge. She lands in the same city as the guys she grew up with on the island, but it's not all rainbows and butterflies. There's a lot of hatred and unresolved betrayal among them. All 5 of them are trying to take down GE but aren't willing to work together.
Raze: There is a lot of character development. Reagan and the guys start to work together and you start to get a good breakdown of the past trauma and betrayal between all the main characters - and it's not all that it seems.
Ramshackle: Book 3 really starts to pick up. Reagan continues her sacrifices for the guys, which I just don't think are ever appreciated enough. More of her past trauma is revealed and the guys really start to realize how wrong they've been about her. The conflict with GE is really coming to a head in this book and the pace picks up.
Remnants: Finally to the meat and potatoes. Reagan and the guys are fully in sync and working together to take down GE. There is a lot of focus on training and enhancing their powers as well as growing their allies. There was a lot more spice in this book. Reagan is fully engaged with all 4 guys so it's nonstop. I will say that I was not emotionally prepared for this book, specifically the end. They're going up against some of the strongest gifted people in GE so the tension is high and there's a lot to lose.
**I have very much enjoyed all of these books and the overall story. I will forever be upset about not knowing there are 5 before I started. I also think that this entire story could have been paced to fit into 4 books.
