Jesus fucking christ, what did I just read??
You thought Benny from the first two books was bad?? Benny&Tanner is 100% more dangerou and delulu.
Do these two authors ever write sisters with good family relationships? 😂 
I'm sooo happy we would see more of Tanner&co in a spin-off!

What the fuck was this...?? This book is way darker than the first two and I'm here for it.

Who IS Tanner?? Starting the last book right away.

I gave the first three books 4⭐️ but I have used over a year(!!) on book four!! The story should have ended in book three and book four was just too repetitive and boring, to be honest. It's a shame, because I really like the other books by this author.

Great thriller! Benny, I mean Benjamin, is an excellent villain.

Macy's insanity was bone-chilling. I feel so bad for her and my heart broke for her and Jade 💔

I hope book three and four isn't a repeat of the first two.

Plot was great and I was entertained. The writing was a little.. off and some things could have been described better.

LOVED the plottwist with Macy, but my heart broke for her. Her own parents... 💔

The story with Bo & Dillon felt rushed. Bo walked out off her in the middle of a breakdown? Seems unlikely from Jade's POV.

Did you know that neither of the main characters in the series had not an ounce of fat on their bodies? I know, because the author wrote it a hundred times. 
And the FMC is so tiny and smol. But she has curves. But she is straight as a toothpick. She's a toothpick with curves. 😀 I hate it here.

Ash finally called Kelshey and "they both knew they fucked up". No. Kelshey did NOTHING wrong. NOTHING. She didn't know who Sawyer was. The wrong one was Ash who didn't talk to her best friend for months.

Ash is also the worst FMC i have ever read about. There is nothing exciting about her. All the guys are talking about how "wild" she is and "if she can be tamed" etc. A leaf on a day without wind is more "wild" than Ash. The only "wild" thing she has going on is that she was groomed when she was 15 years old by a serial killer. 
The MMC arr no better; Declan is a snoozefest, Travis' a sociopath and Sawyer's a snobby asshole. 

I can't believe I gave this series 1,5 week of my life.

HOW and WHY does this series have such a high rating?! And six books?? SIX?? When two of your books in a series is under 300 pages you can add them. And probably half of every book could have been cut because the author is only repeating it self. It's exhausting to read. It's only because of my FOMO I have gotten so far.

Travis watching Sabrina die and not helping her actually broke my heart 💔 I can't take Travis' behaviour anymore. That was beyond fucked up.
Ash's lack of respons made my eyes roll. This has to be coming back to her in the last book. How can Declan and Sawyer get over this betrayal from their former best friend? How can they be with a girl that doesn't care about it?

And this book isn't RH. It's a book about a girl who sleeps with three guys. Noone have a real relationship. Ash also has the audacity to call Sawyer, Travis and Kelshey's behaviour as "throwing it around with strangers", when she was drooling over three 🍆 in a matter of seconds when entering Hillcrest. She also hasn't called Kelshey back yet. Ash is the worst friend ever.

I swear I was planning on giving this book one star, but the twist in the end was a pleasant surprise, so I'm upping my rating.

Actually quote from the book:

"We’d never done it doggy-style before; Declan wasn’t really into that, but I guess he’d make an exception right now." 

SO GODDAMN BORING.

Dunno how the first two books got 4☆and 5☆ from me and then there is this shit storm. 
I am deducting one whole ☆ because of shit like this:

I pulled her to me once I was on my feet, hoisting her up in my arms. She must’ve weighed a little over one hundred pounds, not an ounce of fat anywhere on her. She wasn’t too hard to carry out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

She only weighed 45 fuckings kg???? I hate writing like this. WHY do every author need to write the MC's weight and height in exact words??? I hate it here.

I am deducting another ☆ because the author repeats herself all the time. Yes, we know Ash and her mother was poor and Ash needed to help out. We know what colour the MC's eyes are. We KNOW how lean Declan is and how big Sawyers muscles are. We KNOW how weird and creepy Travis' family business is. We get it! 
I cannot read about it any more. Does this book series not have an editor? Alpha-team? Beta-team?! What is going on?!

Not speaking to your best friend because she slept with a guy you maybe liked, but she didn't know who he was is not a vibe, Ash. The same was not helping Brooklyn in the car scene in the parking lot. Not. A. Vibe. Do better, Ash. Every main character can do better.
