Walk the Edge, the second installment in the Thunder Road series is every bit as emotional, dramatic, sexy and swoony as its predecessor, Nowhere But Here. In Nowhere But Here we are introduced us to the fictional Reign of Terror motorcycle club and all of its rules, traditions and history, but in Walk the Edge we're given an even closer look into what makes this group tick. I absolutely loved getting to know this group of people even better, and it allowed me to become even more invested in where this story and subsequent books will go. As I said in my review for Nowhere But Here, this series introduced me to a way of life that is the total opposite of life as I know it, and that's why I love it. It's such a loyal, close-knit community, and the love these people have for each other is so evident in McGarry's writing. You can't help but fall in love with them too and become totally invested in their lives and desperately wish for each person's happy ending.
In Walk the Edge we meet Razor and Breanna, two people from totally opposite worlds that find themselves drawn to each other. The chemistry between these two is undeniable and I was ON BOARD from the very first moment they met. This relationship worked for me for so many reasons. The most abundant being that both Razor and Breanna may seem completely different, but in reality they both want the same thing out of life. A sense of belonging. Their stories and motivations were so authentic and the way in which McGarry brought them together only strengthened the feeling of destiny for this couple.
There's no denying that Razor and Breanna are meant for each other...but that doesn't always mean a happy ending. Even the most destined of love stories can have serious road blocks.
Which is another thing I loved about this book. McGarry turned what seemed like the typical love story trope, bad boy meets good girl, and made it totally messy, intense and heart-breaking. As much as I pulled for these two, I totally got why there were reasons why it wouldn't be easy. McGarry is a master class in these kinds of stories, actually. She's not afraid to get down in the mud and get messy with her couples, and it just makes me love her books even more. Walk the Edge is a perfect example of how amazing of a storyteller McGarry is. This book is compelling, thought-provoking and difficult. But mixed in with those tough emotions is an overpowering sense of love, hope and faith.
You know what else McGarry does exceptionally well? Writing a male lead character that is totally sexy and totally swoony, and I am TOTALLY obsessed with Razor. This guy made my heart melt and my temperature rise. He's so sexy and soooo, so sweet at the same time. This guy is utter perfection and I couldn't get enough. For as much as I loved Razor, Breanna was my girl! I want to be her best friend and I was so proud of her in some big moments in this book. She made the tough choices, took some BIG chances and did so without knowing where those decisions would lead her. Breanna's bravery was inspiring and the fact that she didn't see it in herself was so frustrating. But, when you're trying to discover yourself a little self-doubt is natural, right??!
By the way, Breanna and Razor together? Ohhh heck YES! The private moments between these two didn't fail to deliver, and I love McGarry for it. She definitely knows how to write some sexy scenes!
So this review turned out to be a LOT longer than I thought it would be, but I just had so many feels from reading this book. I absolutely loved it and think it's a perfect continuation of the Thunder Road series. It was everything I wanted it to be and more and everything I love about Katie McGarry books! I am so excited to read the next two books in this series and see what's next for the Reign of Terror family!
FINAL THOUGHTS…
Walk the Edge is a perfect Book! The story of Razor and Breanna will have you smiling, blushing, swooning and shedding a tear. Grab yourself a copy today and become part of the Reign of Terror family.
