Opens in Nic’s POV which, I believe is a first for this series and so incredibly dark, dangerous and dramatic. If I hadn’t read books 1-3, I’d still be all in just from that first chapter. That said, I do recommend reading this series in order. It’s epic and very worth it.

One thing that I can’t help but appreciate about this series is, with all the very adult,  literal life-altering chaos constantly flying around, Anne still manages to build in lots of ‘kids being kids’ and just having dumb, teenager fun throughout. Truly masterfully done. 


🐺 Teen pregnancy.
🕸️ SA.
🐺 Gangs everywhere, and their rivals.
🕸️ Full-on g4ng war.
🐺 Betrayal—the most epic betrayal.
🕸️ G3ng takeover.
🐺 Extortion.
🕸️ C4ptivity.
🐺 Billionaire teen hero.
🕸️ Danger (so much of it).
🐺 FMC faced with impossible decisions.


This was so twisty, in a ‘whose side is he/she on’ kinda way. You def have to pay attention but OH it is so deliciously worth it.

Overall:
5 stars for drawing me in and holding on to me so hard. Might have to re-indulge in this entire series regularly.
