Review: Victory at Prescott High

 

Title: Victory At Prescott High

Series: The Havoc Boys

Author: C.M. Stunich

Release Date: Nov 2020

There's one heart you can’t break at Prescott High, not unless you’re one of them.

The Havoc Boys.

They’re my family, my redemption, and my future.

Victory at Prescott High has always meant escape.

Once upon a time, that meant graduation and a one-way ticket out of town.

But everything is different now.

This year, my life changed in irrevocable ways.

The Havoc Boys have a Havoc Girl; they have a queen who wears her crown with pride.

I’ll need every ounce of strength I possess to dig us out of an early grave.

One last chance; one more fight.

If there really are happy endings for people from my side of the tracks, then we’ll find one.

Or else we’ll go down together in a hail of gunfire.

Blood in, blood out.

Always.

VICTORY 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 five of five in the series.

So... That just happened. The book, the series, is over & time to say goodbye to these characters & this story. 

As a whole the series was good. It was ok. Often times I felt that there may have been a little more filler then needed, like how many times the character says certain things (Ebon,ebon, ebon), or how a few things were put in there to tie it up together in a bow. And while this wasn't my favorite series, or story, I enjoyed the crazy ride and fell in love with some of these characters. 

Bernadette's life changed irrevocably when she uttered Havoc. She became a Havoc girl, a queen and now has a family in Havoc with her boys. Working through her list, and all the other problems, like the GMP that is after them- everything seems to be connected. It all comes back to her, to Havoc. 

Victor, Hael, Aaron, Oscar & Callum. All want to love and protect Bernadette. They all get closer then ever, but if something happens to one, they would fall apart, and Havoc wouldn't exist anymore. They need each other for their family to work. 

But the end is coming, it is just a matter on if everyone will survive to see it. 

This is the heartstopping conclusion of Havoc as we know it. 

I enjoyed this while crazy ride with the members of Havoc. I even cried & absolutely love when a book can pull an emotion out of me. 

I loved Victor, Oscar, Callum, Hael & Aaron. The Boys of Havoc. All so different- but all have a few things in common. They were drawn together through honesty, truth, & their need to look after Bernadette & they became more than just a gang, but a family. 

Bernadette was loud, crazy, and then some. She was strong for everything she had been through, but she never let that completely crush her hopes and dreams. She knew exactly what she wanted & didn't quit until she got it. She was fierce, loyal, and protective of those she loved. She was the heart of Havoc even before she joined them. 

4⭐ out of 5⭐. Prescott will never be the same.
