Chaos Kills

Seduce and Destroy #3

by Hazel Grace

She’s a walking red flag…I must be stupid or color-blind.

I said she was trouble.
I warned my brothers time and time again that Bay Astor would rip us apart and shatter everything we’ve built.
Torin is drowning in grief over what she did to his brother.
Reeve is getting high, snorting and popping everything he can to get by with the pain she caused.
So, why am I babysitting and ensuring no one hurts her?

Short answer—Levi Wallace. The King of South Shore. Her steroid-pushing bestie with an attitude problem.

I’m not looking to go head-to-head with the guy when all I’ve wanted to do is end this war. To erase the divide that has had our two towns going at it for over a decade.
However, I wasn’t strapped for the tantalizing attack—which was her lips. The mental warfare that led me to ask for her panties and start thinking with my dick.

My boys are in a chokehold, and I’m starting to lose all rational and clear reasoning. Meanwhile, my Little Terror is out causing chaos and more problems for me.

She won’t listen.
And I’m tired of talking.

So, when in doubt, I pulled out my king card to make her adhere to my words.
That girl will be mine—whether she wants to be or not.

And I won’t be taking any prisoners.

And another one!! Miss Hazel Grace did it again and I’m loving it 💚

I’m destroyed in the best possible way with shock and wanting more! From beginning to end it’s none stop with details and story building. One thing about Hazel and her books she gives you just what you want but also leaves you wanting more. This is one of the best series for why choose romance there’s seriously a character that everyone will fall in love with.

I appreciate the details she put in this from humor, drama, tension and romance. it might be small but I really liked the kitten's topic lol once you read this you’ll understand. I thought it was a great way to bring in balance with everything and a few of the characters. I really like the characters I love Ozzy and Levi I knew I would like Ozzy but Levi got me by surprise in the best possible way.

This one picks up right after the last book so you must read the first two books on the series. Overall this series just gets better and better and I’m here for it! I’m patiently waiting, which is not patiently lol waiting for the next book

Some topics may be triggering to others make sure to check that this book is for you and to read with caution.

It has:

Some of my favorite moments/quotes

——————————

“What the fk are you doing?” he thunders out, causing me to jolt in response. My eyes latch onto Levi, “Protecting myself from people who just walk into my fking house.”

——————————

My best friend steers his question to me, but it lacks the sternness and irritation of just a moment ago. “Do I get to stand here and guess all night? I’m tired, Bay.”

——————————

“You’re mad.” “Furious.” But his tone is flat, the exact opposite of that word. “

——————————

Boys are dangerous creatures with weird ideas, but I find myself always attaching to one of them because girls are b|!ch£$.

——————————

“How quick can you eat?” ???? Comes up to my side, keeping a bit of a distance away, and he doesn’t answer me.

Bay and her boys do not disappoint! This one was heartbreaking... The damage that Reeve was doing to himself, the self destructive spiral that is Torin... And Bay just trying to hold herself together as punch after punch comes at her.

I will say, I thoroughly enjoyed Ozzy in this book! Wasn't sure how I'd feel after book 2, but absolutely adore him! And Cairo slowly turned into the voice of reason that no one really listened to but should have

And Bay... That girl has a resilience that I admire, but also feels so much more than she lets on. I adore these characters and am so invested!

[Devon Sickles · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hazel Grace you did it again. These books have me in a death grip. Bay and her little family and her men have a special place in my heart.. as does oddly enough Ozzy. The character development and the way they all find a way to tug at your heart strings in this book is just beautiful. I’d also go far enough to say that we have another cliff hanger queen proving herself with all 3 books… iykyk… I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. Cliff hangers make books just ugh I don’t even have words. As I have been since book one- I am drooling to get the next one! So incredibly awed to be one that gets to read this book this way❤️

[Bella Powers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hazel Grace is the queen of cliffhangers, so you better expect it. This is book 3 of the Seduce & Destroy series....and it does exactly that. Seduces and then Destroys you. Bay is a baddie, and all the guys in this series....good gracious 🔥🔥🔥🔥 the plot, the spice, the EVERYTHING in the book will leave you gasping and craving more. Read this series. Do it now. Good girl.

I had to sit with my feelings for a WEEK after reading. I’m still trying to grasp onto words to do them justice. I’m at a loss other than..

I’m thoroughly SEDUCED and utterly DESTROYED….

I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to properly articulate what this series has done TO me or become FOR me..

This book was true to the title.. Chaos reigned.. I’m not sure how everyone’s going to walk themselves back at this point.

Ozzy was a real highlight for me in this book. I love a dark horse!

But Cairo… YES PLEASE!!!!

As always I’ll be wasting away waiting on the next book to do me in again..

I have a serious love-hate relationship with Hazel. I love her because everything she writes is perfection, but I hate her because those brutal cliffhangers leave me needing therapy. *Chaos Kills* is no exception—Hazel knows exactly how to pull readers into her world. Two things are constant: when she says, "buckle up, buttercups," you better hold on, and she has rightfully earned her title of ‘cliffhanger queen.’ This book takes both of those to the extreme, making for an emotional rollercoaster with twists that’ll leave you breathless.

I’m still processing everything that went down, but let me tell you, if any of Hazel's books could be turned into a soap opera, *Chaos Kills* would be the perfect candidate. (But you’ll definitely want to read *Falling in Reverse* and *Pretty Little Lies* first.) This book had everything: heartbreak, love, and gut-wrenching character moments. Bay, Reeve, Torin, Levi, and Ozzy all have me feeling some kind of way. And Ozzy? You’ll need to read to see what’s going on with him.

Torin and Reeve shocked me. They’ve been through so much, battling their own demons, and it left me heartbroken. And then, Cairo Black enters the scene, the stoic, macho King of Wharf Bay, and now I’m torn—my heart has space for him too.

Ozzy’s protective side surprised me, but I was so mad at Vivian and what she did. I’m hoping she gets what’s coming to her in the next book. As for Levi and Bay, they’re up to something risky, and I’m anxious about what will happen after that last chapter. Bay, though—she’s a total force. Even with the weight of the world on her shoulders, she’s strong, fierce, and unconditionally loves her sisters.

This story is full of pain, heartbreak, and love. I can’t wait to see what happens next for Bay, Levi, Torin, Reeve, Cairo, and Ozzy. Something tells me the next book will be even more intense.

Hazel had me in a chokehold from beginning to end. Every chapter left me reeling, with so many twists that I had whiplash trying to keep up. The word "chaos" in the title is a perfect description of what you get. But seriously, Hazel, what did you do to us with that ending? I was begging for more, but it just… stopped. “To be continued” felt like a punch to the gut. Now I’m eagerly waiting for book four and praying Hazel doesn’t destroy me again.

Once again, Hazel has proven just how amazing her writing is. If you haven’t started this series, do it now. *Chaos Kills* is seductive, heartbreaking, and absolutely unforgettable. The rollercoaster ride is worth it, but prepare for some serious emotional damage.

From Bay’s marriage of convenience to her growing relationship with Cairo and Ozzy’s development, this book had me hooked. I was on the edge of my seat, crying for the characters, screaming at them, and my heart was shattered by the ending. That cliffhanger? Unforgivable. I need book four, and I need it *now*.

[Amber Thornton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hazel Grace once again does not disappoint and leaves me salivating for more!! I was hooked from the beginning and didn't want to put this down.

Chaos Kills is the third book in the Seduce and Destroy series and true to it's name this series has 100% seduced and destroyed me in the best possible way. I love these characters, this world and story. And I just need Hazel to keep them coming.

Chaos Kills brings even more character development, heartbreak, gut wrenching moments, love and of course some of the spiciest scenes.

Torrin and Reeve are still struggling throughout this book with Bay's decisions and are hanging on by a thread.

Although Bay is a fierce force, she's also struggling with everything that is going in her life at the moment. Between the guys, her dad, the town rivalries, new marriage and trying to be strong for her sisters, it's taking a toll on her. And my heart aches for her.

Ozzy and his mysterious dark presence really surprised me. I was shocked at how much I liked him and I don't think I can see this group without him. I'm really hoping his and Bay's relationship progresses. And Vivian, she's officially on my shit list. If someone could o f f her that'd be great LOL

And then CAIRO where did this Cairo Black come from?! I don't know but I'm here for it. We've seen the broody asshole so far but now we have the King of Wharf Bay and HE. BROUGHT. IT. He's under pressure to be the glue to keep their group together right now while Reeve and Torrin are drowning in their grief. Then enters Bay and he's grasping at threads to fight their attraction. I don't want to give too much away but when he surrenders at the end in those last few chapters...SWOON, I was a goner.

In Hazel Grace fashion she hit us with crazy double plot twists and then swiftly gut punched me with a to be continued....thanks for that, I love that for myself hahahaha

The title of Book 3 couldn’t be more fitting! Like this book is complete CHAOS but in the best type of way! There is so much chaos in the plot and between all the main characters that you don’t even know which way is up. Reading this book feels a lot like a rollercoaster ride, expect you don’t want to get off at the end because you need answers and you NEED THEM NOW! The plot picks up right where Book 2 ends and goes from there. We get to know a little more about the person that was introduced to us at the end of book 2 and see how he has been there all the whole time, playing in the dark and hiding behind the scenes. But just like we get a new character, we also get great character development for our MCs, which I love because it makes me feel like I get to know them more and like I am in the book with them!
The first two books end in a cliffhanger, and this third one was not an exception. The cliffhanger in this one really just tore my heart. I REALLY HOPE with everything In me everyone makes it out of any and all danger they may be in. No spoilers here, but one of those MC better make it out because I love his dynamic with Bay and how protective he is of her!
Also I was pleasantly surprised with Cairo, I am OBSESSED WITH HIM! He can just look at you and make your panties fall off. And my dear Reeve, I love him but I also kinda want to shake him and make him wake up from this haze he is in. I know he’s hurting but he is just not handling it in the right way.
That being said, I’m obsessed with Ozzy. Ever since Hazel gave us a little teaser about him I just had a feeling he was going to be a keeper. I don’t know if it was, probably the tattoos, but he just made me think, if anyone is willing to go above and beyond for their loved ones, it’s him. And after reading Chapter #1 and his POVs, it just cemented that he was a KEEPER! There is just something about him that is very comforting to me. I love how he just wants to protect Bay and keep her safe. I cannot wait for book 4 and get some answers on Bay’s current status and the cliffhanger! Thank you Hazel for letting me ARC read this book! Can’t wait what you have in store for us!

There are two constants when reading Hazel Grace. One, when she says, buckle up buttercups, you best hold on for the ride of your life. Two, she has not earned the title of ‘cliffhanger queen’ for nothing. These two are most prevalent in Chaos Kills. She sets out to shock and amaze you, feeling like you are on your own Hazel Grace amusement ride with the ups and downs.

I am still trying to process EVERYTHING that went down in CK, but I will say, if able to turn any of her writing into a soap opera, Chaos Kills would be a prime opportunity to do so (keep in mind Falling in Reverse and Pretty Little Lies need to be read first). This book had it all in abundance. My heart still hurts for Bay, Reeve, Torin, Levi, and Ozzy. Who is Ozzy you ask? Well, my little book fiends, you need to read the book.

I was shocked and saddened to see how ‘my boys’ are doing. I loved both Torin and Reeve from the first two books but was shocked to see their current state. Both display hurt and unwanted feelings rattling in their brains and bodies, and fought these inner demons that they have.

I was waiting for Cairo Black to step forth and introduce himself. Ladies and gents, The King of Wharf Bay has entered the building and is ready to do just that. This stoic man is one guy full of machismo. My heart had originally pitter-pattered with love for Torin and Reeve, but now also includes Cairo.

Ozzy was a surprise for me. I loved his overly protective nature towards the whole family, but dang it, I was so flipping pissed at Vivian and what she did. Secretly, I am hoping she gets what’s coming for her in the next book.

Levi is becoming more concerning to me. He has devised a plan with Bay and appears to be making bigger and bigger risks to fulfill that plan. After that last chapter, I am completely on edge waiting to find out what is going to happen.

Lastly, I still have a major girl crush on Bay. She has the weight of the world on her shoulders, yet she is fierce, strong, and shows immense love towards her sisters. Her life is for those two girls.

There is so much pain, heartbreak, and torture for this group, yet at the same time, there is love. I can not wait to find out what is going to happen for Bay, Levi, Torin, Reeve, Cairo, and Ozzy. I have a feeling we are going to be in for a humdinger!

OMG! WTF! I am speechless and I need to pick my broken heart up off the floor with the way this one gutted me in the end. This was ONE HELL of a rollercoaster ride that had my heart in a chokehold the whole way through. And the number of emotions this story pulled out of me was insane. I laughed, gasped out loud, but I freaking cried so much over EVERYTHING. I don’t know how I am going to survive any more heartbreak from this point forward.

There were so many shocking moments and insane curveballs in this part of the series that I had no idea what the hell was going to happen at any given moment. There are layers upon layers that were being uncovered and we haven’t even delved deep enough to see how this is going to all play out in the end.

Bay is such an incredible character. She’s fierce, protective, sassy, violent and has a heart of gold. She loves fiercely and four tortured and damaged men have dug themselves deep into her heart and will be unable to extract themselves without doing some very serious damage to her.

Torin, Reeve, Cairo and Ozzy go through all kinds of emotional turmoil and gut-wrenching heartbreak. I was a wreck over these guys and how they can’t get their heads and hearts to come together.

The angst, drama, violence, heartbreak, passion and undeniable love in this part of the story just oozed off the pages. I could not stop myself from sobbing into a pillow or keep my jaw dropping to the floor. There are moments that completely shocked me, and I don’t think certain characters are going to be able to recover from what they say or do.

I devoured every intense moment of this story and I am now left on bated breath for what the hell is going to happen now after that WTF heart destroying ending.

[Arcreaderbookreviewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Prepare yourselves because Hazel is putting her pedal to the metal from the word go.

Curveballs are thrown and the puzzles immediately start sliding into place with no signs of slowing down.

Hazel you had me in a full blown choke hold from beginning to end. This book turned in ways I never would have imagined and it was absolutely astounding. The whirlwind of emotions felt were insane. I was in a constant state of wonderment and trepidation with my jaw firmly living on the floor throughout the entire book. The word ‘Chaos’ in the title is a truly fitting description.

Each chapter blew my mind. The plot twists just didn’t stop twisting and I was left recovering from whiplash, as I could never guess the directions the book would go in.

Now I do also have a bone to pick with you Hazel because holy s**t… what in the actual f**k did you do!? That ending was absolutely brutal. I was frantically turning the page and begging there to be more, but it just… ended! It felt like a slap to the face turning the page to see the words ‘to be continued’. I am now eagerly waiting for book four to get answers. I beg you not to stomp on my already broken heart.

Yet again Hazel left me in complete awe of her writing. I highly recommend this book… this series… hell this author because wow, she is truly phenomenal.

Remember this is book three in the seduce and destroy series. Yes you can definitely count on being throughly seduced and left completely and utterly destroyed. Hazel’s phrase ‘Buckle Up Buttercups’ is a solid piece of advice and there’s nothing left to do but enjoy the ride!

5/5⭐️

Guys……. This book….🤯

Hazel, your mind is brilliantly insane haha

This series/book feels like a movie…. While I’m reading I can legit picture the scenes and I absolutely love it.

This picks up after book 2….

Our boys are not themselves at all and are mad, heartbroken and are acting out…

Finally we get Cairo Black in the mix. He definitely was a missing puzzle piece but so was Ozzy…

Ozzy has watched Bay for 2 years in the shadows but now that they are married he’s around and very very protective of his wife… He very mysterious and doesn’t talk but a few words once in a while…

Reeve is drinking and doing other not good things like crazy to hide the pain… 💔 Bay wants him to stop so she doesn’t loose him completely… He still loves her with everything he has but he can’t let himself feel that again…

Torin loves this girl to death…… Literally…. He can’t let go of his wildfire….

Cairo is the king of Wharf Bay and is trying to get peace between towns. He has always told Bay to stay away and they bicker back and forth but he finally shows his feelings and acts on them!

A lot happens like always….. Your mind is always like wtf just happened 👀

Lots of bombs are dropped…

This ends again on a giant cliffhanger with lots of things still up in the air….

I need book 4 ASAP! I can’t wait because I know it’s going to be a wild ride but amazing! After everything they all have been through they need their HEA🫶🏻

Ok, well here I am on book 3 and I was still hoping there wouldn’t be a brutal cliffhanger.
This book was so good! My heart hurts for Bay and everything she had to go through. I didn’t think I would be able to hate Torin and Reeve but here we are. Hopefully they pull some miracle and make me fall back in love with them.
I hate that Reeve is hurting and that we can physically feel his spiral but he needs to snap out of it. I was ready to jump through the book and smack him upside his head. His back and forth was exhausting and I don’t know how he’s going to make everything right again.
Torin is on my hate list really bad right now. I know he’s grieving and hurting but he flipped on Bay so fast and then did unthinkable things. I hope Bay makes him grovel for the rest of his life and throws in a few kicks to the balls.
I can’t wait to find out more about Ozzy! I loved that he was always there for Bay even when it hurt him mentally to be. I hope he gets revenge on she who shall not be named because he deserves it.
Now let’s talk about Cairo freaking Black. Man that man had made me fall head over heels for him. Ughh he is sooo perfect and the definition of a king.
I’m choosing to ignore that ending because my anxiety can’t take waiting 😅😂
Hazel did such a good job writing this book and I felt every damn emotion that Bay did. I cannot wait for the next book.

Thank you, Hazel Grace, for letting me ARC read this book. Chaos Kills is the 3rd book in the Seduce and Destroy series.  After reading this book, I needed some time to gather myself because it broke my heart. If Hazel Grace is skilled at anything, it is leaving us with heartbreak and cliffhangers. This entire series has me in a chokehold. I'm left wanting more because so much has transpired and so many questions remain unanswered. At one point, I was shouting at my Kindle because this book made me feel everything, and I am pretty sure my husband thought I was crazy. I had a feeling that I was riding an emotional roller coaster at times. But when a book makes you feel a part of it, and you find yourself unable to put it down, you know it's fantastic. I had a hunch about how the book would conclude as I neared its conclusion. However, I was completely unprepared for it, and I am eagerly awaiting the release of book four. 

Before they lose everything, Reeve and Torin need to get their act together. I feel like screaming at Reeve at times to wake up, but I was and still am totally dedicated to him. The subject of discussion is Bay's forced marriage to Ozzy. This man is something I need more of. He has the feeling of a large teddy bear that you want to love. He is committed to protecting his wife and will stop at nothing to keep the women he loves safe. Even at the expense of his brothers' lives. If Reeve doesn't get his act together, Ozzy might end up taking his place as my top guy. Let’s not forget Cario, who up until this point, has been a mystery. I can not wait to see what is in store for him and Bay in the next book. 

As usual, I make an effort to avoid giving away too much in my reviews. However, you should add this series to your TBR if you haven't already. They have not let me down. The greatest approach to overcome a book hangover, in my opinion, is to immediately start reading another one. On to the next as I wait for the next book. As Always check your TW

After having read Falling In Reverse and Pretty Littles Lies I immediately started looking forward to more from this series. I wanted to know what all was going to happen next. I picked up this third installment and got right back into the Seduce & Destroy world. I so enjoyed this third book!

Bay's journey continues!

Bay, Cairo, Reeve, Torin, and Levi are back! And a certain someone else, too. Going into this third installment I couldn't wait to see how everything would unfold next for these characters. I got right back into this story.

Bay was taking on a lot and I felt for her. Reeve and Torin had me wanting to talk to them through my kindle. I was so glad that we got to dig deeper with these characters, especially Cairo.

I didn't know what all was going to be thrown our characters ways. Once again, these characters and their journey had me going through such a range of emotions all throughout!

With Chaos Kills, Ms.Grace has created such a good continuation that had me on edge and feeling every bit! This author continues to take us on a ride of a journey that I'm glued to with characters that bring out all my emotions! This series continues to get me right in the chest. Definitely check out this series if you haven’t already! I so need more of this story and it's characters. 💚

Chaos Kills is the third book in the Seduce and Destroy Series, that continues the story of Bay and her men that are her men then arent, my heart breaks for what she has to go through, with the loss of her dad and the Arranged marriage,
The men... they're from rival towns and so much goes down that they cannot be together and love turns to hate, leading me to hate Torin and Reeve which I never thought I'd say, I'm a Reeve girl through and through I hope that he can be redeemed and hope that Bay can clear her name and have her men again. I'm so sad for her.

there's many tropes such as
Morally grey romance
-Arranged marriage
- Enemies to lovers
Why choose
And much more

Hazel is still the queen of cliffhangers. My heart can't take it. The emotions that this book puts you through, it's such a rollercoaster. When she says buckle up buttercup, she truly means it. I honestly can not describe the emotions that these books have put me through. I need book 4 already, like now, I'm hoping there's not too much of a wait as I need the boys back!!
I say boys, but this book focuses on Cairo black. He finally becomes something for Bay instead of hating her from the sidelines.

I love this book!! And the series, honestly!!! Bay is one of my favourite FMCs I've ever encountered!

She TELLS us to #buckleupbuttercups
She TELLS us she's been called the cliffhanger queen.
This is the THIRD BOOK and I still somehow fell for it again! 🫠

I've never read a book thinking it was the final book and just not understanding why things weren't wrapping up but instead somehow getting crazier and introducing new players!
Slide 2 explains that I am not, in fact, nuts and it was supposed to be 3 books lmao. Hazel, you truly made me feel ALL the feels with this one 🥰😬😳🤯🤬😫

Speaking of new players - I LOVE Ozzy. Sweet, sweet Ozzy. I have been patiently waiting for Cairo since book 1! Somehow Ozzy comes in and takes over and they're BOTH my faves now. I can only assume he gets a book next?! 🥰🙌🏼

I mentioned in my last review that multiple characters are irredeemable and I am afraid to say - it got even worse in this one. Now I don't even know if one more book can resolve those issues PLUS a whole ass gang war 😱

So happy that book 2 was one of my first ever ARCs because I was able to meet these boys - and Bay too, of course! 🖤

Gimme book 4!!

I took my time with this one and I wanted to be all up in my feels.

This was character building all in its own f’ed up way. We’re continuing our story and the paths that are being crossed and moved. I feel like my mind was being blown for half the book. You get tension, heartache, stunned moments, hotness and just what the F moments.

These damn boys will be the death of me. My sweet Reevie boy was breaking my damn heart.

Torin, I didn’t know what to do with him, he has me feeling a million different things.

Cairo, bbbbabbby.. this man had me feeling things. I mean damn😮‍💨

Do not get me started on Ozzy, you know those quiet ones that steal your heart. This man has been added to the mix!

Bay, my girl, the things she has to go through and persevere through, the weight of the world on her shoulders it seems. She is our strong queen, yes shes a badass with a fricken heart of gold down in there.

All in all.. Hazel did it yet AGAIN. I’m at the edge of my seat begging for more because that hanger has me reeling! If you’re looking for a killer series to have fun with, let’s go buttercups!!

[Kitty · Rating 5 out of 5]

How many times did I cry? Yes.
I enjoyed every second of it.
I’ve never been so mad at and heartbroken for a character as I’ve been for Reeve. My man is going through it, and I just want to smack him and hug him.
Cairo, my love. He’s always been my favorite, and that hasn’t changed, even with Ozzy on the scene.
Speaking of: Ozzy, my sweetest, most broken boy. I’m so glad we finally got to meet him.
Nothing can change my love for Levi. I dare you, Hazel.
Torin is tied for “character I’m most mad at.” He knows what he did.
Can I be honest with you? I have always been a little, sometimes a lot, mad at Bay for the choices she’s made. This time, I just hurt for her. Everything has blown up in her face, and it’s all just…chaos.
I can’t even believe how much was packed into this book. So many questions were answered, but so many more were introduced! I need to know everything!

Hazel, I’m going to give you a pass on the therapy bill this time, because this one’s my bad, I should have known better. But. I need new mountain climbing gear for the cliff you keep leaving me on.

To stay or to go, to take the seat or not take the seat.

The title of this book is perfect because it is PURE. GLORIOUS. CHAOS.

We quickly start right where we left off with the arranged marriage of Bay and the mysterious, quiet Ozzy. While we have seen quick glances of him in the background of previous books, we get to dig into who he is. For a man who says so little, Ozzy is the perfect addition to this mix. Overly protective, socially awkward and bordering on morally black, he will do anything to protect Bay. All while simultaneously enjoying the building relationship and tension between Bay & Cairo, and Torin & Reeve continuing to spiral and trying to grapple with their love/hate emotions.

This is a slowwww and satisfying burn, and when you think you know what's coming, you are hit with answers to unearthed secrets and twists you'll never see coming.

The gasp that came out of my mouth at the end... she ain't lying when she tells you to buckle up.

What a rollercoaster of a read. I couldn’t put this book down for long but wanted to make sure I absorbed the whole story. The character development is great, each going through their own trauma. We pick up with Bay entering a marriage of convenience to save her family, hurting Reeve in the process. Even with Reeve being my favourite, all I wanted to do was reach through the book and smack him upside the head and tell him to open his eyes. I enjoyed the growing relationship between Bay and Cairo, he proved to be quite an asset to her and to his brothers, stretching himself thin with looking after everyone, but not wanting to let anyone down. Ozzy the big silent protector, always watching. His character growth, I would say, is the best in the book, his growing trust and closeness to Bay, still unsure what that means for him, An action packed story, never a dull moment. I wanted to scream at the characters and cried for them at the same time. That ending though, I need the next book yesterday, that was crazy.

Wow just wow this book leaves you with more questions and the need for more ASAP!! The suspense is real here!!

Hazel Grace lives up to her name once again as the cliffhanger queen because the ending will have you screaming and pleading for more ASAP!! The suspense and action-packed craziness are in full effect making you question everything you thought you knew. Just be ready to be glued till the end because this is one you won't be able to put down!!

Bay and her guys are playing a dangerous game and each time a piece of a clue is dropped more questions arise with consequences that no one is ready for. If you love angst, suspense, spice, found family, mystery, heartbreak, and more then you absolutely need this series!! The world building is vivid and each character gets even more intense as the series progresses. The pace in this one moves quickly and has a cliffhanger that will be a definite book hangover till the next one. I can't even be mad at the author because honestly, I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters just yet. This series has quickly become a reread for me and I can't wait for more. Highly recommend this series to any reader who loves a good why choose and twists and turns that keep you captivated until the last page.

Overall: 5/☆☆☆☆☆
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶

📖 Chaos Kills by Hazel Grace

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ / 5

Fucking CHAOS! I never had any idea where this story was going. If I thought it was going left, it went god-damned backwards!

Do you realize how hard it is to review this without spoilers?!? From Chapter 1 our entire understanding of what’s happening gets ROCKED!!!

Ho-Lee Shit! I thought I had an idea of where this story was going. Fuck no! I was so off! This book had me questioning my intelligence. Truly!

Okay, okay! Reel it in… *deep breath*😮‍💨 Oh, yeah, I need to leave a review??? Um… I love the underused but highly satisfying Protective FMC trope. Bay GOES TO BAT for these men. We normally see that in MMCs but Bay is the poster girl for Protective FMCs and she has my undying loyalty. Also, I hate Vivian with the fire of a million suns.

TLDR: READ THIS SERIES. I can’t say more because I refuse to spoil this for anybody, but if you want a gang war, why-choose romance that keeps you on your toes: Read. This. Series.

[Sam Goodin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, let's start with Hazel Grace has found a way to hurt me again. We met a new character in this book (Ozzy), and I love him. What I don't love is every single man in this book is a 2 year old and uses Bay our fmc, as an emotional punching bag. Like grow up and get over it. Torrin can jump off a cliff. Reeve, my sweet Reeve can follow him because this wasn't it, my dude. How can you act like that? None of these men know what love is. This book focuses a lot on Cairo and Bay... he's a jerk in hiding, and I after the last two, I think Bay should just cut them all off and be Queen. They fear her, and they should. If the next book isn't full of groveling and some certain men growing up, I'm going to throw a table. Don't you take that sh!t Bay!! The cliff hangers in these books are already driving me crazy and I'm too invested. Also, books 2 and 3 put me in a reading slump, and I stared at my wall for a week, trying to get over it. I'm still mad at everyone involved, and it's been weeks! That is all rant over.

This is the third book in this series Seduce and Destroy. This book does pick up right where the last finished which I always like, so you must read this other books in the series first.
This book does end on a cliffhanger like the other books


What to expect:
🏁Reverse Harem
🏁Enemies to Lovers
🏁Romantic Suspense
🏁Stepbrother romance
🏁Street Racing
🏁Rivalry between towns


Torin and Reeve are being torn apart by what's happened and nothing Bay does can change it.
Bay is strong and she's doing everything she can to try and keep everyone happy, but the guys are on self destruct and are tormented. Cairo and Ozzy step in and help Bay and they are both very protective of her.

This story will pull on your heartstrings and this you full of all the alpha male, angsty men.
But in this book I don't know, I just felt like something was missing and it didn't really grab like the other 2 books . I do love Bay an the guys and can't wait to see what they all get up to in Book 4.

[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t even know how to put into words what I just read but I’m going to try. My heart hurts for Bay and the boys for so many reasons. I never thought Torin could get more dickish and never in a million years did I think my Reevie would be a total douche but there goes Hazel throwing a wrench in my dreams. Torin is definitely on my hit list and Reeve just needs to pull his head out of his ass and get his shit together. Ozzy, my poor tortured mystery man is something else and I cannot wait to see more of him and see him break out of his shell and become the man I know he is deep inside. He protects Bay fearlessly and without question. Now onto Cairo Black, The King of Wharf Bay, if I didn’t love him before I sure do now. He’s got so much swag and a dirty mouth to match, I am so happy we finally got to see him unleash some of his self restraint. This book leaves us on yet another cliff hanger and I really don’t know if my heart can take it. Until the next one…. #buckleupbuttercups

chaos kills has a mix of EVERYTHING never a dull moment, always a GASP moment 😂 the men in this series are WOW i can’t get enough and THEN a new man gets thrown in and you’re left gasping for air. torin, reeve, cairo and now ozzy?? YES PLEASE. 😫 you get twists and turns, broken hearts, these men expressing their emotions in the best way that had me CRYING. crying in the beginning, middle and SOBBING at the end. i swear, i literally had to reread the last chapter because that cliffhanger??!! BROKEN i did not want the book end i needed more!! i still need more, i know the book just got released but ma’am, i need closure ASAP (no pressure of course, i’m just a lil needy 🫣)

and i swear their inner monologue is one of the best things about this book 🤣 “shit. did i call her my girl earlier?” yes, yes you did!!!!

hazel, thank you so much for this opportunity of meeting these fabulous men. thank you for always showing your readers love 💚 i can’t wait for what comes next 👀

💚 hand necklaces
🖤 street racing

Cairo was so worth the wait!!!

Chaos Kills is book 3 in the Seduce and Destroy series. This is a dark why choose romance.

OH MY LANTA I AM SPEECHLESS!!!!!

We are back with our favorite group, and oh boy poor Torin and Reeve. They are not in good places at all. I just wanted to reach thru my kindle and hug them!!! Bay is dealing with so much and is dealing with everything that comes with Emilio, on top of losing the guys, and Cairo is running around, trying to keep everyone alive and still run things. Then we have Ozzy 👀 👀 I think I might have a new favorite guy 😂

Sooooo much happens in this book you just need to experience for yourself. So many crazy twists, I LOVE IT!!!

And once again, Hazel has proven she is the queen of cliffhangers and I will BEG for book 4 at this point 😂 what am I supposed to do with myself without more of this world 😂 😭

This series is absolutely PHENOMENAL and you NEED to grab it up right now!!!

[smut.tonic · Rating 5 out of 5]

The emotional rollercoaster this book just took me on….

Why did I think book 3 would be different? That I would want to throw my kindle out of frustration because of the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers happened. Like I now think Hazel Grace wants me to be so obsessed with these men and Bay that I am salivating waiting for the next book. I think she enjoys our misery at those point.

Why am I so over the top with this. Because Bay, Torin, Reeves, Cairo, Ozzy, and Liam have me hooked. I need to know answers to pertinent questions.

I need to love Reeve and Torin again.

I need them to run everything together without three certain someones in the picture.

The way this series has its claws in me is unlike many series I’ve read before.

The spice, the angst, the protective “you’re mine” vibes are just next level.

I need more
