❌ Leading on from my previous point: they genuinely treated her so badly that Bernadette’s slavish lust for them (Victor especially) makes her look, as is typical with Stunich’s heroines, really f*cking stupid. But it most certainly did happen and I’m sorry, THEY ARRANGED FOR HER TO BE BEATEN HALF TO DEATH!! This is even worse than what happened in Filthy Rich Boys or The Secret Girl. I suspect a lot of readers will find it easy to ignore the bullying because it’s only told via flashbacks and glossed over, so it’s easy to pretend it didn’t happen.

You don’t get to see this happen in real time, because Stunich cleverly set the story a year after the actual bullying took place, but this kind of bullying is still wayyy beyond what I can handle in a romance. The boys arranged for her to be beaten almost to death, left her naked on the side of a road at night, and locked her in a closet for a week with nothing but water and a bucket. ❌ This level of bullying is a HARD PASS for me. This involves a marriage of convenience with Victor so he can get his inheritance. In return they ask her to be a ‘HAVOC girl, essentially their girl. She decides to make a deal with them to get revenge on Kali, her stepfather, and a bunch of other people. They do things for people in return for favours.

She spent the whole of sophomore year being horribly tortured by the ‘HAVOC boys’ – Hael (yeah what a stupid name), Aaron (her ex-boyfriend), Victor, Oscar, and Callum because her ex-best friend Kali asked them to. And then the heroine did something which made me want to throw my Kindle across the room, so 2 stars it is!ġ7-year-old Bernadette Blackbird (beautiful, blonde hair with pink tips, BREASTS THAT ARE A G-CUP(?!?!)) lives with her mother, younger sister, and abusive stepfather who drove her older sister to commit suicide after he raped her. The first half was really cringeworthy, but then the second half improved, so I really thought I’d end up giving it 3 stars. I waffled between giving this one 2 or 3 stars.

Those dirty, rotten boys are going to get revenge against everyone that’s wronged me-everyone but themselves. At their beck and call, in their beds, a part of their gang. I’ve made a pact with the Havoc Boys to get the vengeance I deserve. For an entire year, I endured their shit.īut senior year is going to be different. The Havoc Boys rule the hellhole we call Prescott High. There’s one word you don’t utter at Prescott High, not unless you want them to own you.
