Seduce and Destroy #4

Worst Behavior

Rate this book
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Bay Astor.

But never in my wildest, most fucked-up dreams did I think I’d step out of the shadows and be on the other side of those bright blue eyes.

Now, she’s my wife.

And I’m forced to be a presence when I can barely tolerate being in the same space without completely losing my mind.

I don’t do small talk.

I don’t do closeness.

Being near her makes my skin crawl and my pulse hammer.

I’m not what she needs, but I’m everything her worst enemies will fear.

And Matteo De Leon is a dead man.

My brothers have no problem touching, kissing, or holding inappropriate conversations with her. And, while I’m not an enthusiast of those things, I’ll bleed for her.

I’d kill for her.

Whatever it takes to ensure she’s safe and breathing within the tight confines of my world.

But, when the King of South Shore is caught in a drive-by and De Leon is the so-called mastermind behind the plan, Bay goes off the rails.

She’s shattered, and I can’t allow her to fall apart for the sake of her safety and sisters.

However, Bay is on a warpath for revenge and has already bodied someone when she received the call that changed her life.

And I’ve never wanted her more.

THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRIGGERS. PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

This is book 4 in the Seduce and Destroy Series. It follows on where book 3 left off, with the cliffhanger, that was making me crazy! I was so looking forward to reading it, and within a few pages, I was hooked all over again. Bay finds out what happens and has to deal with loss, in multiple facets, and how she deals with the new roles bestowed on her.
It will be the ride of your life. This whole series is, i really recommend it, but you need to read from the beginning of the series, or it won't make sense. The books always end on cliffhangers and as the author says "buckle up buttercup" They're so worth the trauma, there is so much tension, twists, spice and a perfect story line, but definitely read the triggers, as there are plenty as the series goes on.
There are so many emotions, and it makes you want to scream and cry, as the story goes on.
But as well as the emotions, there is the spicy side, as it's a Why choose story bay does not choose between her men, and continues that way. There is so much chemistry between the sassy fmc and the mmcs.
I need book 5 like now, i can't wait. I need the ending of the story so I can start the story over again as I am so involved in this world.

I was beyond excited to finally get to read ‘Worst Behaviour’. The minute it was available I stopped everything I was doing and dove straight in, fully expecting and accepting the emotional damage that would undoubtedly be waiting for me.

Appreciating the warning from the characters for what’s to come, I raced straight for chapter one desperate for the answers that I have been anxiously waiting on since the ending of book 3 ‘Chaos Kills’ and after just a few lines down my mouth was hanging open. Oh my goodness that admission! I KNEW IT!

The flood gates immediately opened and turbulent emotions came tumbling out.

‘Worst Behaviour’ will take you on the ride of your life, which shouldn’t come as a surprise after the emotional trauma received from the previous 3 books. So with my heart already shattered from the beginning of the book, I have accepted the fate that this book is going to destroy me.

This book had me feeling everything from joy to heart ache and all the emotions on the spectrum in between. Book 4 contains a lot of character development, deep buried secrets coming to life, much awaited for events finally happening and also unexpected events sometimes leaving you feeling shocked and even a smirk. It’s truly a wild ride. These emotions are amplified further with Hazel writing in multiple points of view, which gives a more in depth, mind-blowing experience to each scene that plays out.

Ozzy remains my favourite character and his character growth in this book makes me fall in love with him even more. We receive personal access to those tempestuous thoughts and feelings, as well as getting to witness the world through Ozzy’s eyes with a few chapters written from his point of view. If he hasn’t stolen everyone’s hearts and top spot already he definitely will in this book, with the other characters definitely all equally sitting firmly in second. Like I said character development is insane in this book.

By the time the book ended on yes, you guessed it, another mind blowing cliffhanger, I was just numb. That ending Hazel…. What in the world! What just happened! I’m completely flabbergasted. I have all these emotions running amuck that I don’t know what to do with them or how to start to process what in the actual hell I just read. I am speechless and in shock and hurt and angry and sad and having a mental crisis right now because I am not okay. How could you Hazel? I am broken in so many ways.

Wow are you are all in for a wild ride! And I must say the wildest yet. I was a nervous wreck throughout the entirety of this book. The minute I’d slightly start to relax into it, another belter of an event makes itself known and rekindles the anxiety.
Even through the emotional warfare, I enjoyed every second!

Hazel I am yet again wowed by your exceptional writing and I have to say this is by far my favourite book of the series. I cannot contain my excitement that you are gracing us with another addition to the ‘Seduce and Destroy’ series, but also greatly saddened to learn that it would also be the concluding book. I shall be anxiously awaiting to seek the answers to the many questions that are left plaguing my mind after that mind-blowing cliffhanger and eagerly preparing myself to become more emotionally traumatised.

Another reminder. ‘Worst Behaviour’ is book 4 in the ‘Seduce and Destroy’ series, so you will need to start from book one ‘Falling in Reverse’.

Grab your juice boxes and buckle up buttercups, Hazel does it again! Where do I start? Book 4 is coming off a HUGE cliff hanger and we had to wait even longer to get a clear answer. In the meantime, LOTS of things go down. I do not know how many times I yelled “ I KNEW IT!” or yelled “NO WAY!” Hazel has a way of keeping her readers on their toes at all times. The morning we were set to get the ARCs for this book I sat and kept hitting refresh on my phone, trying to sit and wait as patiently as I could until that email came in. Then it was there. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. I read the entire book in 1 sitting. I pretty much needed to soak in everything that was happening, I needed to know what was happening in all the boys' lives and if they were going to redeem themselves. Who was having the ‘Worst Behavior’? Who would be bodied? And most important, was this the last book? Even part of the street team Hazel wouldn't confirm or deny no matter how many times we asked. Answer… Read the book. Take all the spice in the last 3 book, wrap it up and you have the amount of spice in this book. Out of all the books this one was my favorite but then again I say that after each one. Hazel out does herself each time. But this one was less emotional for me, which was a nice break. Now I would like to take a moment and give a big shout out to the character development of Ozzy. He is a complex character. There is a lot of character development with all characters but Ozzy really stands out. ( I mean the book is about him) I can not wait to see what Hazel has for us next. But I do know it will be amazing no matter what it is. There is so much I want to say but can't with out spoiling! READ THIS SERIES!

“𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚.”

OMG! I was so unprepared for how this book was going to destroy my heart over and over again. It was one hell of an emotional and gut-wrenching rollercoaster ride.

Bay’s emotional turmoil oozed off the pages and had me sobbing uncontrollably throughout. The amount of grief, sadness, depression and despair she goes through had my heart in a chokehold. But Bay is an absolute Queen and she continues to show us how freaking strong she is and what she is willing to do and how far she’ll go in order to get the revenge she or her family deserves. Bay chooses not to sit idly by waiting for others to do what needs to be done, instead she chooses violence and takes care of business her own way.

The relationship between Bay and these unhinged men takes a turn. With so many twists and turns when it comes to their unique relationship, you just never knew what was going to be thrown at them next. She loves them all and hates them too. But she can’t be the queen she needs to be without them in her life.

The banter was perfect, the connections were strong and the smut was incredibly smutty and utterly filthy. I laughed, I cried and I know I had to pick my jaw up off floor numerous times throughout.

Brilliantly written with such amazing and damaged characters that you can’t help but love and with a storyline that is filled with adrenaline packed moments that kept me on the edge of my seat, heartbreaking moments that made me cry, many dangerous moments that had me filled with anxiety and many beautiful moments that filled my heart with happiness. But that ending holy crap WTF! So not prepared for that!!

I can’t wait to see what happens now!!

OMG THIS BOOK IS COMPLETELY ADDICTIVE!! BEWARE YOU WILL LOSE SLEEP BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT!!

**SIDE NOTE: Please make sure you read these books in the correct order because each book starts where the last has left off. This is not one you can just jump into out of order you will be lost. Also, check TW beforehand and read responsibly**

Well, Hazel Grace does it again, she pulls you right in from the first page and doesn't let up with the emotional torture she inflicts along the way. This book is tension, suspense, twist, spice, and emotionally filled to the brim that will make your jaw drop and heart squeeze a bit as the story unfolds.

Bay and the guys are not safe this time around and all I can say without giving anything away is just expect the unexpected in this book. The emotions run high in this one and I feel like a fiend needing more though even with the emotional torture I endured it's so worth it!!

Now of course you can expect the why choose vibes once again, epic chemistry, sizzling heated moments, twists, suspense, and all-out warfare on your heart at times. The stakes for each character are at an all time high and nothing is off-limits so it's about to get wild.

I highly recommend this series because it will pull you in from the start and slowly twist you up making you crave each book as the story unfolds. If you crave a book that will consume you from the start here it is!! So be ready to have time zapped away because you won't want to put this book down!! This is an absolute must read and is a top read for 2025 for me!! This author paints such a vivid gritty world where rivals will do anything to keep at the top and you never know what will happen as each character navigates this tumultuous lifestyle. Do yourself a favor just grab this series/book and get lost in the pages you won't be disappointed that's for sure!!

Overall: 5/☆☆☆☆☆

AND LEVI?!!! i knew i liked this one for a reason 🤭

“𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚.”

the INSANE emotions this had me going through was WOW. obviously this continues right after book 3 with yet another insane cliffhanger 😩 and the AUTOMATIC TEARS?!!!! and the NEWS?!!! the absolute hope i had then BAM hope crashed!! bay continues to be the bad ass she has always been. torin, he has some work to do but boyyyyyy do i love to see him try. reevie, he will always my heart idc what he says or does. cairo, i love him nothing else. AND OZZY!!!! THAT MAN IS THAT MAN!!!!!!! and guess what? INSANE PLOT TWIST?

I was ready for this one, but I wasn’t prepared. There are just no words. Hazel has again taken us on the ride of our lives. These characters continue to have a strangle hold on my heart and my emotions. I was so happy to have an answer to my burning questions early on, but that only opened up a floodgate of more unresolved issues as the pages turned. Saying that I knew some things would come to pass is like saying I know the ground is wet when it rains… It’s the tip of the iceberg in this case. I LOVED Ozzy and Cairo in this one, and both continue to be a solid, steady presence, able to help Bay navigate heavy emotions without being too heavy-handed and forcing to where she would push back. Their approaches are each different with her but both work. I really enjoyed seeing Ozzy open up more and the growing connection he and Bay are strengthening. Pretty Boy is working his way back into my heart, and I’m finding forgiveness for him (it’s not that hard really), and Reeve is still spiraling. Wouldn’t you know… This is NOT the end. We have more of our favorite characters to come and when I tell you that cliffhanger was a doozy, do not take those words lightly. Of course with every finale, you never know what secrets and big reveals await you, and this is another one that was big—threatening to be a game changer.

Someone send help because I have not been able to pick up my jaw from the floor after finishing this book! I’m pretty sure I dented my wall after throwing my kindle at it because of the cliffhanger this book ended on. Hazel has a knack for writing stories that will not only take your emotions on a rollercoaster ride but also keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Book #4 picked up exactly where book #3 ended, which let me tell you was INTENSE! When I finished book #3, I didn’t know if I could handle the wait until book #4 came but the WAIT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT! We see Bay get put through the ringer but come out on the other side with a thirst for vengeance. She will show them that they messed with the wrong girl. And don’t get me started on all the plot twist and Cliffhanger because those almost gave me a heart attack. But I loved seeing the relationships between her and her boys (Cairo, Ozzy, Levi, Reeve, and Torin) continue to develop. Ever since meeting Ozzy he has become my favorite and this book cemented that even more for me! I AM OBSESSED WITH HIM! Every single time I read “my wife” I melted more for him! I can’t wait till the day that Bay and her boys gets their HEA because after everything she and the boys have been through, they deserve it! If you haven’t started this series, go do it now so you are ready for when BOOK #5 comes out!

I want to scream so much about this book but we're gonna keep this spoiler free.

As always, please be mindful of trigger warnings. This book contains heavy subject matter that can be triggering to some.

Prepare yourself to feel all the things. I went through a rollercoaster of sadness, rage, fear, absolute elation where I wanted to jump in my chair, happiness and fear simultaneously, shock, devestation and emotional damage... name the emotion, you'll feel it.

Bay goes through it in this book and you are there to feel every bitter and blissful moment. I wanted to reach through the pages and hug her so many times (but lets be real, our girl wouldn't want that).

Ozzy 🖤 Ozzy and Bay's dynamic is such a slow burn but it makes every stepping stone so much more fulfilling. Every moment between them as their relationship grows had me squealing.

Our MMC's also all go through their own trials and this book really brings everyone full circle.

And that cliffhanger. I truly did not see that coming at ALL. I'm so sad for this series to wrap up but I equally cannot wait to get my hands on book 5!

Woooh this book. Talk about never having a moment to relax or take a breath. This whole book has had me second guessing everything and what was happening. I did not see that end coming at all. I really thought it wasn’t possible (idk why because Hazel likes to keep us on our toes).
My heartbreaks for Torin (iykyk)
Reevie is semi back and I’m glad because he’s still my baby.
I didn’t realize I could fall more in love with Cairo Black but there I am. That man is just pure perfection and I would disobey him any day.
My Ozzy is so precious and deserves the best and i love how he’s blossomed in this book.
Bay went through it the whole book and she is one tough FMC. I love her love for the guys and how she won’t give up on them. She’s resilient but also human and she has to deal with her emotions and it’s nice to see a character that doesn’t deal well. She’s angry, hurt,mad and so many other emotions that you feel them with her. Out of the whole series this book is my favorite so far. Hazel did amazing writing this book and Im so glad I discovered her books.

HOLY FREAKING EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER OF A MESS! HAZEL GRACE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME???

Whew lawdy, Hazel said watch this, I can stress you the freak out even more and make your heart sink, twist and blow your freaking mind all within 700ish pages. Buckle the freak up because you are in for a wild ride with this book.

Book 4 picks up right where book 3 left off and we dove right back into the madness. I found myself saying OMG and WTF more in this book than ever before. 🤣

Bay wakes up after discovering what happened to Levi and our girl chose violence. Everyone better watch out because she is out for revenge. She is on a warpath and she will destroy anyone who had anything to do with Levi or gets in her way.

You will feel every single emotion Bay goes through. My heart was BROKEN!!!

And all of her men are back again right long with her in this book.

And if you know Hazel, she left us on another cliffhanger! 😤😆 Leaving me begging for more every single time!!

Bay and her harem of men consumed me! I loved this book so much I couldn’t stop reading. I think this is my favorite book in the series yet. While Bay loves all of her boys it’s in very different ways and they all give her something she needs. Cairo can get through Bay’s crazy, Torin matches her petty, Reeve (my sweet Reevie) when he finally gets his shit together he holds Bay down and could totally be husband material, Levi is her best friend and ride or die for life and now add in the near fatal attraction and spice between then (fina-fucking-ly), and then there is Ozzy. Ozzy is his own brand of crazy but has such a connection with Bay they he doesn’t have with anyone else and to see his growth in this book was just chef’s kiss! Worst Behavior was filled with so much emotion I feel I may need 7-10 business days to recover but I loved it and I cannot wait to see where the next book takes us!

What the FUUUUUUUUUUUCK 😭 My heart can’t take anymore, Hazel. You love torturing us but I am WEAK 😫

A book shouldn’t get my heart rate up so much that I have to take a break. This book was a cardio workout. Comparing this book to a roller coaster ride doesn’t do it justice. There is so much happening in this book! Alliances, double crosses, maimings!!!! My heart was not prepared. I forgot how insane this series is 😅

I love Bay and her insane thought processes. I adore all of her guys and how they each have their special love languages with her.

My heart is broken because we didn’t get a HEA, but that just means that we’ll bet another book with these characters.

TLDR: Get ready for book-related stress. Bay is still causing havoc and her guys are there to clean it up. Book 5 should give us her HEA.

Hazel Grace.. I’m at a loss for words. The way you suck me in to these books is just mind blowing. I’m really not good with series like these but you find a way with your writing to keep me wanting to read every word and have me fighting for my darn life over here! The amount of times I am cursing and just mind blown in some ways is INSANE!

This book was absolutely wild. There was so much emotion throughout the entire read! I couldn’t make up my mind how I was feeling. God bay is really fricken going through it. Don’t even get me started with these boys. They continued to make me wanna throttle them, hug them, kick them and kiss them. But really that’s the dynamic isn’t it and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around half this story… what have you done to me?!

THE ENDING TOO. HAZEL!!!!!!!!! I can’t breathe.

ILY, thank you for letting me read yet another amazing story and yall if you haven’t read it yet. What are you waiting for?!?!

Welp! I decided to jump back on this rollercoaster ride and I am so glad I did!
This is book 4 in the Seduce and Destroy series! Hazel Grace once again did not disappoint!
I am a Torin Wildes girlie till the end...Don't come for me! I said what I said!
This book picks up right where Chaos Kills ends, You follow these characters as they go through loss and heartbreak, and a whole lot of SPICE. The plot is THICCCC in this one. Hazel does an amazing job with the inner turmoil of her characters, you can feel the emotions they go through. I have been OBSESSED with this series since picking up Falling In Reverse! I can't wait to see what comes next! If you haven't read this series I HIGHLY recommend it!
This is a reverse harem, why choose, hand necklaces, touch her and ya know, street racing, taboo and did i mention the SPICEEEEE!! Phew!!!

Bay and the boys are back again and this time, tensions are at an all time high.

When word reaches Bay that Levi is gone, she spirals as the rest of the forsaken boys try to keep her alive.

Ozzy goes to find Reeve, Torin is recovering from his own gunshot wounds, and Cairo is trying to keep everything going.

Matteo is still out there and Ramsay is even more power hungry than we could have ever thought.

This book had me suffering from a juice box addiction and I did throw my kindle at one point because it was..... *insert expletive here*.

Worst Behavior was definitely the perfect title because Bay wakes up and chooses violence.
Her world is crumbling and with every move they make, everything just seems to fall apart more and more.

The Cliff-hanger queen still holds onto her title though because once again she left us on the edge of our seats as we wait for book 5.

Hazel Grace delivered another absolute knockout with Worst Behavior. From the first chapter, I was completely hooked by the intense chemistry, raw emotion, drama, and unapologetically bold storytelling. The characters are flawed, fiery, and so vividly written that I felt every heartbreak, every twist, and every stolen moment like I was right there with them.

This isn��t your average romance—it’s darker, edgier, and packed with tension that never lets up. The emotional depth and character development kept me invested from start to finish. I couldn't put it down, and when it ended, I was both shocked, satisfied and aching for more.

Dare I say this one might be my favorite of the series so far!

If you love your romance with grit, passion, and characters who break all the rules, then Worst Behavior is a must-read!

Oh you thought this was it? Oh no we’re far from done with Bay and her boys after that cliffhanger.

I may or may not have been physically broken within the first bit of this one (just as a disclaimer:be prepared for the ride your bout to take😅😭) HOWEVER…. After getting over my wtf moment I was as always drawn in by Bay and her boys in the best and worst ways possible. I can’t even try to spoil the omg moments because really, you’ve gotta experience all this for yourself to feel the emotions, the build ups, the tears and turmoil, all of it. And yes, Hazel might’ve killed me a bit too much with that cliffhanger and I might wallow till the next one cause girl WHAT?! But with the shock came the spice. The tension. And a plot that just gets better and better with each book.

Like always, I am so freaking speechless with the latest release of the series.
I cried, a lot.
Hazel Grace was not messing around with her latest release and it shows. You can feel everything that Bay goes through in this book. Bay's feelings become your feelings and quite frankly, I was not prepared for that. Honestly, be prepared to take 30 business days to recover from this masterpiece. It is just truly stunning, gut-wrenchingly stunning.
Book four picks up where book three left off, like there is not a single beat missed.
And the PLOT TWISTS oh my goodie gosh. When I say I was screaming, I. Was. Screaming.
This is the permission that you need to take the day off work, binge read this masterpiece and then stare into the void trying to get your self back together again.

I don't know how Hazel does it but she delivers EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

First, let me say you have to read these books in order. Each one leaves off on a cliffhanger. Worst Behavior is book 4 and may have left on one of the biggest cliffhangers of the series!! JAW DROPPED.

Also, I'm sorry for a vague review but I can't shout everything I want to because there would be major spoilers and I can't do that! And by shout, I mean how much I love these characters, their story, and all the WTF moments!!

I absolutely loved the character development of Oz, Levi and Cairo. I feel like we got so much more from them in this book.

Ozzy, damn I just love him. He deserves so much, this world has been too cruel to him. A couple scenes with him that had me yelling HELL YES then one where I'm screaming God NOOOO. (yes that's all you get, read the book LOL)

Pretty Boy- my first love. He's trying and I have faith he will get it right.

Cairo- he is surprising me at every corner. I am loving the dynamic him and Bay have.

And Levi, well he can get it and that's all I'm going to say.

Bay, my beautiful, hardcore badass FMC. She can hang with the best of them and has been through so much heartache in her life. I want the very best for her and I think her boys can deliver that.

Thank you Hazel Grace for the advanced copy and allowing me to go on this ride with you. ILY and this series so much!

This starts where book 3 let off and you go an more crazy journeys with all of them…

I love all these boys & bay to pieces!!

They finally find Reeve and he’s not good…

Levi is coming in HOT multiple ways👀

Cairo keeps falling hard for Bay!

Ozzy comes out of his shell a little more..

Torin does Torin things as usual..

They all love Bay to death, literally…

The ending was emotional. And that cliffhanger is ROUGH👀

Can’t wait for book 5‼️

I need them all to get their much deserved HEA🙃

I'm either going to die in his arms, or his brother is
going to pull some shady shit and finish the job.
"Don't leave me," he says, straining to hold himself together with glossy gold eyes. "Use that hard head of yours for once in my favor."
"I love you, idiot," I croak out with a choked sob.
"You know what to do if things don't go my way."
"They have to," he retorts as his fingers brush along my stomach and around my waist. "I can't live without you."

These impossible people have gripped ahold of my heart and just won’t let go. Especially Bay and Ozzy. And Cairo. They’ve burrowed their way into my rib cage and I can’t see them leaving anytime soon.
This book is all in, all gas, no brakes. By the last quarter or so, my heart was racing and I swear I couldn’t breathe.
Every time I thought we were ready to process and move on, just kidding, more trauma. Bay has to deal with so much more in this book than ever before.
I absolutely loved the drama in this book, I think it’s really ramped up as the series has gone on and I’m really digging it.
The last chapter did just about end me…it was deliciously painful.

Hazel, I live for your cliffhangers, but ouch.

I can’t wait to see the crew again soon.

I NEED MORE SO BAD!!!

Worst Behavior is book 4 in the Seduce and Destroy series. This is a dark why choose romance. Make sure to check the trigger warning.

I need to be Bay Astor in my next life.

We pick up where we left off in book 3 and Hazel will have you crying, drooling, crying some more and just falling in absolute love with these characters and their story. Its an emotional Rollercoaster the whole way thru and then she throws us off a cliffhanger that will have you throwing your kindle across the room like I did!!!

This series is a MASTERPIECE and it's everything you want in a why choose dark romance series. Everyone needs to read this series and fall in love with Bay and her guys!!!

I am in love with this series.Bay, Levi, Torin, Reeves, Cairo and Ozzy live rent free in my brain. To say I am obsessed would be an understatement. I started this book thinking this book was going to make or break me. Yep, Hazel destroyed me in the first 24% of this book. I wanted to thrown the book away. I wanted to stop reading it because she wrecked me in the beginning. And then.... Yeah I'm not telling you. But I will say, when you get to the part you want to just walk away, take a break and then come back because Buckle up butter cup has a whole new meaning for me now. YES, YES Yes!! Is all I can say.

When I finished this book, I literally screamed! My kids thought something was wrong! Of course, I was fine physically but mentally Hazel Grace had just thrown me for a loop! I have fallen more in love with these characters with each book and this one had me on edge, there is so much that happens with everyone finally getting their heads out of their asses somewhat. Ozzy coming out of the darkness a little more. Oh, there is so much I want to say but I don't know if I fully have the words to say without giving too much away. I absolutely love this series, and I can't wait for the next book! 100% recommend this whole damn series because it is soooooo good!

Wow, I did not see that ending coming.
, I have so many questions.

De-leon and Ramsey need to go and im glad Ozzy got to play with Matteo.

First off, im so glad Levi is jumping aboard the Bay train, I was devastated for Bay with what happened in this book.

I really hope, Bays luck turns around in the last book, because she has a lot of boys to sort out now. And we all know these guys don't play nice.

I really liked getting to know Ozzy more in this book, he is fast becoming one of my favourites as is Cairo.

I really enjoyed this book, alot more pages than I realised this time, but there was so much in there we needed it. I can't wait for the final installment.

I received this as an arc, thank you again Hazel for letting me read this masterpiece!
I don’t know how to start this without giving spoilers but I’ll try.
First- I’m wrecked (in a good way), I think I said WTF, way to many times, so many thing I did not see coming or I did but still was like wwhhaaaaaa. The Forsaken Crew (Torin, Reeve, Cairo, and Ozzy) are still *chefs kiss* They are finally getting their heads out of their asses and stepping up again, especially since Bay needs them! Ozzy is still my FAVORITE- and his connection with Bay *swoon*. Ohhh Cairo and his “possessiveness,” yup, yup, that… yea it was so good.
Such a good fourth book for this series! Idk what to say except- LOVED it and what are you waiting for- read the books already!

What an emotional rollercoaster, beware there are some tough situations in this book. I’m still in shock over the ups and downs. We are back with Bay and her men, picking up right where the last book left off, finding out that Levi was gunned down and Bay trying to come to terms with losing her best friend, leaving her in a spiral. Cairo was an amazing character in this book, trying to hold everything together from Torin recovering, him and Ozzy finding Reeve and trying to help Bay through the emotional stress. After that cliffhanger, definitely not a twist I was expecting. I need the next book asap.
