E85: Ignition
The speed of their cars has made them famous, but when Jason’s past catches up to them, speed is not the only thing that gets tested on the highways of Manzano Springs, New Mexico...
Chris, Brandon, Jason, and Eric continue their speed-addiction and friendly street racing pursuits under their new group moniker “E85.”
While E85’s cars continue to be a mysterious, elite and inexorable force in the street racing scene, the group of friends continue to be welcoming to all types of car enthusiasts. This openness leads to the group growing in ways none of them could foresee. As their brand of street and runway racing makes them unwittingly famous, they discover that a malevolent group of car enthusiasts has them in their crosshairs.
When drama, violence, and unearthed secrets rock their core, their devotion to each other may be the only thing that can thwart the machinations trying to tear them apart. Manzano Springs finds out that “E85” is a group with which one should not go to war.

Yes! You sort of felt how the first book ended, it was open ended and more could be done. I love that more of the characters get explored here, especially Jason's ex girlfriend/fiancé, Marissa. And, that pain in the ass, Darren.
So much happens that by the end of the book you feel like you've read TWO stories! Halfway through, almost exactly, the story arcs wildly into thriller/suspense territory. Not necessarily horror more like action-suspense. Jason's family is very intense! The love developed between all the guys get complicated (Even more than their polyamorous relationship could be?) by an event that throws everybody into a panic and threatens all their lives.
Around chapter 13 this book turns into a page turnee that kept my breath bated. "What's gonna happen next?!"
Absolutely a must read.
