Review: Chaos at Prescott High

 

Title: Chaos at Prescott High

Series: the Havoc Boys series

Author: C.M. Stunich

Release Date: July 2020

There's one gang you don't piss off at Prescott High, not unless you want them to destroy you.

The Havoc Boys.

My enemies turned friends turned lovers.

These boys have never been saints, but this war that's brewing is resurrecting their inner demons.

Once upon a time, I was their target. This time, I'm calling the shots.

Senior year is my year.

This year, I'm going to bring down my enemies.

This year, I'm going to run my tongue along the blade of vengeance and taste blood.

The Havoc Boys are mine, and we were here first.

You don't mess with a Havoc Girl without paying the price.

You don't start a rebellion without a little bloodshed.

My boys and I don't mind using two wrongs to make a right—I just hope our brewing obsession with one another doesn't kill us all first.

CHAOS AT PRESCOTT HIGH is a 150,000 word mature high school/new adult romance with enemies-to-lovers/love-hate themes. It has brief flashbacks of past bullying incidents as well as foul language and sexual scenes; any sex featured is consensual. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book two of three in the series.

Wow, what do I even say after this book?

Bernadette is now apart of Havoc, blood in, blood out- that's a life long commitment. But her engagement to Vic isn't the only relationship she has to the havoc boys- they are more than just a gang, they are a family. One that is smack dab in the middle of a war. One that is set on crossing names off Bernadette's list of those who wronged her. But revelations are acknowledged, and bloodshed is made. The Havoc Boys can ruin anything they touch, it's time to find out if they will destroy Bernadette, or will he rise up from the ashes of her former self like a phoenix ready to rule, taking her fate into her own hands.

We learn more- about Bernadette & the five members of Havoc in this book, getting glimpses of each of the guys head, on top of them working to eradicate the list Bernadette presented them with, to the gang wars, planning a wedding and even more piled onto the plates of the Havoc Boys. I absolutely loved getting to see things in their POV, even briefly. 

Bernadette is growing into the role that she was pushed into to make a deal with Havoc- she is becoming a Havoc girl, and making her own demands and requests for the group that she will be a part of. She is doing her best to look out for her younger sister, and take care of the names on her list. But she finds herself caring for the boys that will kill for her. But what does it mean, marrying one Havoc boy while belonging to all five?

Victor is the group leader. He isn't often shaking, and rules over the group with an iron fist. He is ruthless and takes no crap. But Bernadette gets under his skin like no other. 

Hael is Victors best friend and second. He may have more to deal with besides the gang wars and Bernadette, and not much ruffles his feathers, but he found himself in a precarious position and had to tread lightly to navigate his new predicament. 

Oscar is cold, & calculating. He runs the numbers, knows the odds, and makes the plans. But he's just as ruthless, just as Vicious as the rest of the boys and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty for Bernadette. 

Callum is lilth and light on his feet, but more than just broken dreams and promises. He can be just as cruel when he needs to be. 

Aaron may still have light in his life, in the form of his sister and cousin that he looks after, but he is still a Havoc boy & still apart of the darkness within, still sullied. 

Despite how dark and twisted they all are, Bernadette find herself falling in love with each one of them. If only life were a fairy tale and could be so easy. 

I cannot wait to grab the next book, and find out what happens next to these characters that I have grown so invested in. I love these dark and twisted, these ruthless and cruel havoc boys. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.
