Review: Mayhem at Prescott High

 

Title: Mayhem at Prescott High

Series: the Havoc Boys

Author: C.M. Stunich

Release Date: July 2020

There’s one girl you don’t mess with at Prescott High, not unless you want them to come for you.

Those dirty, rotten Havoc Boys might be a gang to everyone else, but they’re family to me.

My f*ckbuddy. My first love. My husband. My challenger. My confidante.

There’s trouble brewing in the halls of our high school, and it’s spilling into the streets.

Once upon a time, Havoc held Prescott in an iron grip.

But for senior year, we want the whole goddamn city.

This year, we’ll have to drop bodies if we want to own the underground.

Good thing that’s something we excel at.

The Havoc Boys are artists, their brushes made of bone, their paint a brilliant ruby red.

One Havoc Girl for five Havoc Boys.

I wear the crown; I warm their beds; I hold their leashes.

We’re going to take back our school, our city, our lives—I’m just praying to whatever vengeful god will listen that the price for all of that doesn’t cost me a letter in our dark acronym.

H.A.V.O.C.

MAYHEM AT PRESCOTT HIGH is a 117,000 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 three of five in the series.

Well, damn. I'm at a loss and have no idea what to think after the end of this book. 

Bernadette is a havoc girl- and the Havoc boys are hers. Her gang, her family, her loves, her life.

Her first love- Arron. Strong, full of light in the dark, looks for happiness wherever he can find it. 

Her husband- Victor. Ruthless, brutal, leader of the Havoc Boys. Obsessed with Bernadette. 

Her f*ckbuddy- Hael. Always so cool, confident, cocky and sure of himself. 

Her confidante- Callum. Filled more than just with broken dreams and promises. Filled with his fierce need to love and protect Bernadette. 

Her challenger- Oscar. Good with numbers, calculations, risks. Those come easy. Feelings, and emotions don't. He keeps Bernadette at arm's length. 

But just like every single one of them loves Bernadette, she loves each of them in turn. They now have to navigate their new found relationship with one another. 

Trouble had been brewing in the halls of Prescott High, trying to back the Havoc Boys into a corner. 

But caged animals still have teeth and claws, and bodies will be hitting the floor, as Havoc tries to take back their school, and their city against those who oppose them. 

Havoc is the midst of a gang war, fighting tooth and claw on all fronts to rule the underworld of Prescott. They each have a sordid past- forming havoc to give themselves something they never had- a family. They love, care and look out for one another. They may be mosnters- beasts who lurk through the night to take down their opponents but they are much more than just another gang in this fight. I am loving these books, and these characters. All the angst and drama and brutality. It's dark, and bloody. Messy and cruel. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.
