Half the Battle
by Elle Thorpe
⭐️⭐️⭐️. 5 stars.
Beware of spoilers
What the fuck?!?!?! Why did SO MUCH happen at the VERY end?? Talk about a cliffhanger!! Like first, Bliss finds out about Nash’s past. Then, War finds out Scythe’s identity 😞. BUT, we learn the truth about the night War’s father died. And then of course, War goes after Scythe, but then the cops and the prison warden show up at Psychos😭😭. So that means Nash, Bliss, and everyone else are in trouble because of ALL THE DRUGS!!! And now we have to worry about Scythe and Vincent with the crazy Warden.
But before all that crazy stuff happened, there was actually good stuff. Like seeing Scythe’s personality. Not necessarily the crazy part, but the funny and sarcastic side. War and Bliss’ relationship progressing. Scythe and War flirting and having their own spicy times with and without Bliss. Nash finally giving in to his feelings for Bliss.
Now, I cannot believe I’m going onto the final book!!! Like it’s gonna be CRAZY 🫣🫣. But I can’t wait to get answers about Axel’s killer, seeing Vincent again hopefully with Scythe too, seeing if the cops found about the club, the situation with the drug dealer, how Bliss is going to handle the truth about Nash’s past, Bliss’ mom, Caleb’s fate, if War will forgive Scythe/Vincent, and literally anything else 🙌🙌.
Favorite quotes/scenes:
“They’re probably at our houses right now, waiting to arrest us.” (Bliss)
“Yours maybe. Not mine. The police have no record of me, and they’re so incompetent they couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag.”
Vincent roared in my head so loudly I winced.
“Jeez, fine. That was bad form. I apologize. Don’t worry about the police. Caleb won’t say anything. Or I’ll kill him. It’s really very simple math, Bliss. Now, how about some nuggies?” (Scythe)
“Little Dog will be just fine. I’ll even give her some water.”
I nodded, satisfied he wasn’t going to try to kill Vincent’s dog while I had my back turned.
“Just enough to drown in.”
“Scythe!”
“It was a joke! Jesus, you’re as boring as Vincent is.”
“I missed you.” (War)
“You only saw me a few days ago.” (Bliss)
“Yeah, but I want to see you every day. You can’t blow my mind the way you did the last few times we’ve been together, then cut a guy off. He’ll go through Bliss withdrawals. And there’s no rehab for that, except for the one between your legs.” (War)
“Can we just keep doing what we’re doing? I like you. I want to get to know you better. And just so you know, I’m so fucking attracted to you that if you say no, I’m gonna be stalking your social media for photos of you to jerk off over.”
“War is such a tattletale. So a guy jumps a secure fence and watches his boss get her pussy licked by a biker. Is that really such a crime?” (Scythe)
“You are such a pervert!” (Bliss)
“I am? Or you are? You were the one writhing around in the dirt, begging him to pound you with his trouser snake.” (Scythe)
“What the hell are you doing back there anyway? How did you even get in? Jesus Christ, Scythe. I nearly peed myself!” (Bliss)
“Please refrain from urinating while I’m in the car. That’s truly disgusting.” (Scythe 🤦♀️🤣)
