Review: Keep Me Never

 


Title: Keep Me Never 

Series: Boys of Avix 

Author: Meagan Brandy 

Release Date: November 4, 2025 



On the outside, it looks like I’ve got it all together. I’m killing it on the football field, pushing harder than ever before and breaking league records.
 But on the inside, I’m a mess, the pressure of the game too much, the betrayal from someone I trusted weighing me down with every breath.

I’m drowning and there’s no one to pull me up.

Until her.

I tried to stay away, to keep my distance so I wouldn’t ruin us both, but I was powerless against her.

She’s everything I didn’t know I wanted and more than I could ever deserve.
That right there is how I knew I couldn’t keep her, but that didn’t stop me from falling in love with her.

Just when I think maybe I’m becoming the man I want to be, my world comes crashing down around me, and I’m faced with a choice that has the power to break us both.

Suddenly, I’m right back where I started.

I’m the guy with nothing to give and she’s the girl who deserves the world.





Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? 
Keep Me Never is the final book in the Avix series - and while it isn't 100% necessary to read all of the books before it - I HIGHLY recommend it so you get the full effects of not just Chase's story but if all the side characters as well. 
On the outside it looks like Chase has it all - but on the inside he's a mess. A betrayal from someone he's trusted weighs heavily on him, and he is barely keeping it together - until her. He's tried to stay away, keep his distance because Chase doesn't have anything to give,, but she deserves the world. 
Just when Chase thinks he's becoming the man who he wants to be, he is met with an impossible choice that sends his world crashing around him, putting him right back to where he started. 
So if you didn't already know, I have been DYING for Chase's book since SYS first dropped a handful of years ago. I wanted to see what went on inside Chase's head and I -finally- got my wish. This book was bittersweet and I absolutely adored it. Chase's story finishing off the Avix series & it was... I have no words. Chase's story was more than I could have ever expected & the whole gang together brought the feeling of rightness, a feeling of home. And the story made me feel all the things. It was cute and sweet. And had me kicking my feet in giddiness one minute, and an emotional wreck the next. I swooned, I cried, I gasped & I didn't want it to ever end - not just Chase's story but finishing off the series of characters I fell in love with. Chase's story was the perfect conclusion to a beloved series.
