F*ck Yeah - Jaye Pratt & Crystal North continues Amelie's story over Easter and connects some dots regarding with Baxter when he was at his grandfather's and met Charlotte aka Raven. Love the overlap!
I am a huge fan of these two authors working together. They have undeniable chemistry, which translates to on the page chemistry that keeps me glued to the page.
This book was short but it gave me a glimpse and calmed some nerves leftover from that cliff from the last book. Can't wait for the final chapter.
Love the series and recommend!

F*ck Yeah picks up right after book 2 and i skid in Crystal's DM yelling at her in ch 1. this ladies are the master of emotional DAMAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
We went back to Australia, had plenty of fun, hilarious time, the humor is chefs kiss! We learn a lot on some of the back stories of this series and i hope Baxter puts his big pants on and gets into the group coz i love this man!
The narration is duet style, as the other two books, and is absolutely incredible. I cant believe the next book is the last , I'm not ready to end!
Thank you Blue Nose, Crystal and Jaye for being amazing and sending this ALC my way, my opinions are my own!

So I’m still reeling from the ending of F*ck Off months later and I devoured this book needing to know what happened. Jaye promised me that I shouldn’t feel tortured and broken hearted after reading this, but I still had my doubts. This book was filled with humor, truth, and family in Australia.
I loved seeing Aadi and Smalls again, especially with Kalen in the picture. Kalen possibly became a close second favorite of her guys in this book. He brought so much humor and his interactions with Aadi and Smalls had me crying from laughter.
I absolutely loved that we had Baxter’s POV and that we got a glimpse of Raven- I really need to read the Vengeance series. My only complaint is the length because it’s a novella and there’s only one book left for Amelie and the guys- I’m not ready for it to end. This book luckily didn’t have a massive cliffhanger, but I still need to know what happens next.

This was a short novella that happens between book 2 and 3 where Amelie and Kalen head back to Australia for a funeral during Easter break. We get to learn a bit more about her brother and Smalls as well as get a peak inside Baxter's head when he meet Raven from Vengeance. I absolutely loved getting Baxter's POV, I think that was the best part of this book. The cliffhanger from F*ck Off was brutal so I am feeling a bit more positive after reading about Easter Break.
December 28, 2020
I love love love that we get more Baxter in this book. He is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite characters. I also love the tie in to his part in Vengeance. This is a great, quick read that is a must read for anyone that is reading either the Knox Academy series or the Vengeance series. You get so much of the personalities of the characters and a great progression to the stories.

Easter Break in this series and yes this is a shorter book but its still full of plot twists. Amelie (FMC) and Baxter (my favourite character) are the main focus of it. Amelie goes home with Kalen to Australia but things dont go to plan. Her and Kalen bring on a few steamy scenarios and a few laughs too. I loved Bex is this book. She was an absolute riot. So funny
Whereas Baxter is with his grandfather and here is where his story crosses over with the Vengeance series (i love crossovers) and introduces him to Charlotte/Raven from that series. Baxter and Raven's meeting gets a little bit stab happy. I know i shouldnt laugh at that but he was being really obnoxious and i couldnt help but think he kind of deserved it. As much as i like him.
The highlight of this book for me though was the banter by text message Amelie & Baxter had. It was constant source of laughs. This book was a great addition to the series and a bloody good read too

Wicked little read
Wow totally needed this to help tide me over until the next book. We get to see Amelie and Kalen in Australia when she's asked to go back for funeral. To be with her brother and Smalls.
We get to see Kalen want to do everything he can while in Australia with some great outcomes.
We also get to read this book from Brandon's p.o.v which brings more to light about him too, and shows the friendship between him and Amelie more.
This book even though is only a little book leaves you on another cliffhanger with Amelie and Kalen and a certain person and something you will not expect. Now totally need book 3

I loved getting to slow things down with Amelie and Kalen. Away from the chaos, their connection really had room to breathe, and it made me fall for them even more. But let's talk about Baxter... even injured, that man somehow stole every scene he was in. At this point, I'm fully campaigning for him to be one of her why chooses because I need that to happen. 🤭
The narration continues to be incredible, bringing every emotion and every bit of tension to life. This series just keeps getting better, and I'm completely obsessed. 🎧🖤

Loved it! It was great to see Ameile in Australia and get to know her family more, even get to see more of Kalen.
Ameile has gone to spend Easter with her family and Kalen has tagged along, much to the annoyance of everyone around him when he has too much sugar, lol.
I loved watching the relationship grown between Baxter and Ameile and the text messages were genius! She finds out a few secrets that have been kept from her but overall this book just let's you get to know the characters more.
I did kinda miss the others guys left back in England, although there are a couple of calls they don't play a huge part, this one is for all the Kalen fans.
For anyone who has read Raven's books, she makes a small appearance and definitely leaves her mark on Baxter.

This is - brilliant. It’s the perfect filler of the time after the brutal ending of F*ck Off. Without giving away too much, this book mainly revolves around Kalen and Amelie taking a trip home. We get glimpses of other characters and meet some new people who could potentially blow the story up.
It’s 133 pages of crazy, but what did you expect when it involves Kalen Knox. If your looking for something to tide you over between book 2 and 3. This is perfect. It has parts that make you anxious, make you laugh and give you hope.

Like every book in this series, I LOVED this one too!!!
Kalen literally had me cracking up laughing at all the things he said and did.
Getting more of Aldi and Smalls was the best and seeing into Baxter’s life was seriously intriging. He’s definitely got a dark side that makes him even more sexy AF!
And that ending!!!! Bring on Term 3!!!
I can’t wait to see where these two authors take us in the next book

F*ck Yeah is a short novella focusing on Amelie and Kalen going to Aus for Easter Break, we also see what Baxter is up to and theres a crossover with the Vengence series when Raven makes an appearance.
Loved this short, it’s got me so excited for book 3. Kalen had me in absolute stitches but I underestimated the ending, I assumed there wouldn’t be a huge cliff since it’s a novella, I was expecting more of a mini cliff and I was wrong, so very wrong.

The audio book at absolutely perfect! Blue Nose did such an amazing job with the production with a full cast. They always have the timing matched perfectly. I couldn’t ask for a better production team and narrators!

As an Australian I love reading books set here, this was perfect - loved reading about all the foods, places they visited etc.
It was great to see Amelia with her family and meet additional family that hasn’t been in mentioned before.
Loved the text messages, I was laughing out loud so much - oh so good.
Overall a great book , can’t wait to read more of this series

F*ck Yeah by Crystal North & Jaye Pratt!
Book 2.5 in the Knox Academy series.
Performed in duet multicast by Valerie Starre, Alex Bates, James Joseph, & Benjamin Crow.
Amelie is still navigating the aftermath of everything that’s happened at Knox Academy, and seeing her back in Australia brought a refreshing change of scenery. Kalen absolutely stole the show for me in this one. His humor, chaotic energy, and sweet moments made every scene he was in entertaining. I also loved getting more insight into Baxter. Beneath all the sarcasm and attitude, we finally see layers to his character that made me appreciate him even more.
Kalen was pure chaos in the best possible way. Every scene he was in had me either laughing, swooning, or wondering what trouble he was about to cause next. Amelie continues to prove she’s stronger than anyone gives her credit for, and getting more Baxter content? Absolutely yes. His softer moments had me smiling while still keeping me suspicious of everyone around him.
💚✨🖤
🎧But Listennnnn
The narration was freaking fantastic.
Valerie Starre, Alex Bates, James Joseph, and Benjamin Crow brought so much personality and emotion to every character. The banter felt natural, the tension was palpable, and they made it impossible to stop listening.
It’s the duet-style performance for me, it made the banter feel natural, the emotional moments hit harder, and the chemistry between the characters shine. Every narrator fit their role perfectly and kept me fully immersed from beginning to end.
💚
What I love most about this series is how even the shorter books feel important. This isn’t filler. Secrets are revealed, relationships deepen, and the mystery only gets more addictive. And that ending? Excuse me while I immediately queue up the next audiobook.

Aww I have missed these characters so much!! I was glad to have this novella to tide me over until Book 3. I got some relief to things I had been fretting over from the last book, while setting up new questions. So many LOL moments, including scenes where I devolved from snort laughing to laugh wheezing 🤣🤣
F*ck Yeah is a novella told Dual-POV from Amelie and Baxter during their Easter Break from Knox Academy, with Kalen accompanying Amelie. While the overall Knox Academy series is dark contemporary romance, this novella was an incredibly fun, fng hilarious, light read. I absolutely love it when authors give us extra side stories of our beloved characters during "down time" and we get to feel a deeper connection to them too. Of course there are twists, secrets, revelations, and new questions to the Knox story, so it's definitely a must read if you're following the series.
Baxter [asking after Amelie]: “She went alone?!” “No. I believe...Kalen accompanied her.” Jesus, it’s worse than I thought. What kind of protection is that muppet going to offer?
🤣🤣
I love Kalen's crazy ass and very much enjoyed what he brought to Easter Break in Australia with Amelie and her family. I love that this novella gives him a place to shine while also showing more to his relationship with Amelie. And how Kalen and Chelsea hit off? 💕💕 I fell a bit more for Kalen, that's for sure.
Amelie: "What the hell is a shenanigator?”
Kalen: “It’s a person who instigates shenanigans. They’re my speciality."
🤣🤣 It totally is.
Amelie: Kalen grins at me. Tears are streaming down my face, he cracks me up so much.
Same, girl, Same. 🤣💕
I looooved having more Baxter. I might be more obsessed now. Might be. Yep, totally am.
While Baxter is in a different part of the world for his own school break, and would probably prefer that the world think him dead, he does allow Amelie to make contact with him -- snippets of their texting each other is one of my favorite parts of this book. Baxter also meets a new dark haired beauty to obsess over, though his feelings for her differ from what he feels (whether he admits to having feelings or not 😅) for Amelie. For those readers also reading Vengeance, you do not want to miss Baxter's first impressions and dinner date. Baxter also has some self-reflection time that help him reach certain decisions that I think we'll see play out in the next book.
Amelie text msg to Baxter: I gave her a psychopath smile. You know, The Baxter Branson Special? It got me rethinking the offer I declined earlier…burning the world to the ground with you could be fun.
Awwww they are so besties 🥰 I love it!!! 💕
I've grown a soft spot for Smalls, which seems to grow each book. I love their soul-mate-love-friendship, and I hope the authors consider writing his story.
"... You are, and have always been, my best friend. I need you in my life. I couldn’t live in a world where we were not friends, it would kill me. You’re my rock." 🥰
Bring on Term 3! 🖤🖤🖤

I've grown a soft spot for Smalls, which seems to grow each book. I love their soul-mate-love-friendship, and I hope the authors consider writing his story.
"... You are, and have always been, my best friend. I need you in my life. I couldn’t live in a world where we were not friends, it would kill me. You’re my rock." 🥰
Bring on Term 3! 🖤🖤🖤

This audiobook is book 2.5 in Crystal North and Jaye Pratt’s outrageously addictive dark academia/secret society romance series, Knox Academy. This is a novella, which means it’s a little under four hours of audio. But it’s the most wildly entertaining few hours I’ve spent in a while. In this installment, Amelie is drawn back to her hometown in Australia, accompanied by Kalen, over the Easter holiday. Meanwhile, Baxter is apparently missing after the events of the last book. If I had to re-title this book, I think I would call it “Kalen Goes Insane Down Under / Baxter Gets Punched in the Gut (or maybe just stabbed in the hand) by Love.” Okay, so it’s a bit long for a title, but it does summarize it pretty well, I think.
I absolutely adored this story! After the intense drama of book two, this is a perfect respite before we dive in to book three, which I’m sure will be an absolute banger! Kalen is fabulous in this story with all his chaotic, feral-squirrel-on-crack energy. He’s bound and determined to fully experience his first trip to Australia and drive Amelie and nearly everyone else bat$hit crazy in the process. It’s glorious! Also, not at all content with not knowing where Baxter is, Amelie, of course, manages to track him down. Their phone calls and texts are hilarious! What’s also hilarious (and strangely endearing) is Baxter not only desperately trying to learn how to be a good friend to Amelie, when he’s never actually had a friend before, while also struggling to understand his intense attraction and borderline obsession for a dark-haired beauty named Raven. It’s safe to say the man is at his wit’s end.
And in the midst of all that, we also get more answers (and of course, more questions) about Amelie’s past, most notably regarding her grandmother. That woman is definitely up to no good… but what exactly? I can’t wait to find out! And as usual, the amazing duet-style narration from Valerie Starre, James Joseph, Alex Bates, and Benjamin Crow skyrockets the entertainment value of this story into the stratosphere! James Joseph especially shines in this one as he pulls double duty expertly voicing both Kalen and Baxter. The whole cast is absolutely outstanding, though, and I cannot wait for the next audiobook in the series!

I have fallen hook, line, and sinker for Kalen! He is so much fun and I loved how he was the one to accompany Amelie home for a visit. He was never my favourite Knox brother when I read this years ago but he definitely is now (second only to Baxter). I love his chaotic energy in this fun little filler novella and he is the definition of a kid in a sweetshop; although he did melt my heart when he ran back to tell Amelie he loved her. Amelie and Smalls also get a little more closure; I would have liked to see a non-Knox in the mix, if not Baxter then Smalls would have been my second choice.
The narration as always is superb from Valerie Starre and James Joseph who are clearing having a lot of fun. Starre has has a lot of angst in the series so far and it was nice to see her explore Amelie's more playful side. Joseph (a big part of why Kalen is my no1 Knox) is so funny portraying Kalen's antics. I'm certainly not looking at a bouncy castle in the same way again! The Baxter performance is the polar opposite but listening to the mysterious smoothie working through his pesky feelings was so endearing. I have come to terms with Baxter and Amelie in the friend zone largely because their chemistry is just so good. The back and forth on text was so funny and I love how the protectiveness and possibility of connection sparked by Amelie (and fanned by a certain someone) has opened Baxter up to exploring a life he hadn't thought about.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read

F*ck Yeah by Crystal North & Jaye Pratt
📚 Book 2.5 in the Knox Academy series
🎧 Performed in duet multicast by Valerie Starre, Alex Bates, James Joseph, & Benjamin Crow
I was fortunate enough to read and Bluenose ALC treat audiobook listen at the same time.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just when I thought this series couldn’t pull me in any deeper, Fck Yeah arrived and reminded me why I’m completely obsessed with Knox Academy.
This novella is the perfect bridge between books, giving us a chance to catch our breath while still delivering plenty of secrets, laughs, and “what the f..k just happened?!” moments. Amelie and Kalen absolutely stole the show for me. Kalen’s chaotic energy had me laughing out loud, while Amelie continues to prove she’s stronger than ever as she navigates everything thrown her way. I also loved getting more of Baxter and his softer side and growing friendship with Amelie added so much heart to the story.
The duet multicast narration was fantastic. Valerie Starre brings every one of Amelie’s emotions to life, while Alex Bates, James Joseph, and Benjamin Crow each give the guys distinct personalities that make it so easy to get lost in the story. The banter, emotional moments and chemistry all hit exactly as they should.
Don’t let the novella length fool you as this book still packs twists, answers a few lingering questions, and somehow leaves you desperate to jump straight into the next audiobook.
If you’re loving the Knox Academy series, this is an absolute must listen before moving on. 🖤🎧

🎧 F*ck Yeah
By Jaye Pratt & Crystal North
Performed in duet multicast by Valerie Starre, Alex Bates, James Joseph & Benjamin Crow
Holy. Shit. 😂
This novella is the perfect palate cleanser after the absolutely brutal ending of F*ck Off. It gives you just enough time to recover... while still throwing chaos, laughs, and plenty of "WTF" moments!
The story follows Kalen and Amelie on a trip home, and honestly... never let Monster Cock travel unsupervised. 🤣 Every scene with Kalen had me cackling. His unhinged energy is unmatched!
We also get more Baxter, and I loved every second of it. Seeing his softer side and watching his friendship with Amelie deepen added so much heart to the story. You really get to see what she means to the usually closed-off psychopath, and this line absolutely melted me:
"I have to go, but I'll see you soon enough. Oh, and Amelie?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for giving a damn." 🫠
At just 3 hours 45 minutes, this audiobook absolutely flies by, but don't let the shorter runtime fool you. It's packed with laughs, tension, emotional moments, a few answers we've been waiting for, and enough twists to leave you desperate for Book 3.
The duet multicast narration was, once again, phenomenal. All of the narrators absolutely nailed it. The banter, emotion, chemistry, and comedic timing were spot on, making it impossible not to get completely immersed.
If Knox Academy has you in a chokehold like it does me, don't skip this novella—it fills the gap perfectly and leaves you even more excited for what's next.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to Bluenose Audio, Crystal North, and Jaye Pratt for the ALC in exchange for my honest review.

F*ck Yeah is a novella set in the Knox Academy Trilogy after book 2. And, I loved this quick and fun story from the get go!
A witty and engaging audiobook that is light hearted and a super fun listen, with great laugh out loud moments and a fantastic fast paced storyline that will keep you riveted throughout the entire experience. Giving us a great opportunity for a reprieve after the emotional rollercoaster of book 2 and the intense cliffhanger.
The voice cast is superb and brings vigour, laughs, brilliant character development and wonderful energy and emotional depth! Elevating the whole story into something purely magical and unique.
A fantastic addition to the overall series and should definitely not be missed!

"The problem is, I always have something to say and now I need to know what to say to make things better between us...and I don't have the words. I've spent years following orders, but I'm done. I choose you."
That girl looks like she loves to bathe in the blood of her enemies. Holy f**K. I think Just fell in love.

This little novella transition from the previous book is just what this series needed I think. I'm pretty sure quite a few readers were left in shambles at the end of the last book after what happened to On. There is a lightness to this book that the others didn't focus on, and a bit more story building that will get us where we need to be for the next main book, although don't think the authors forgot to give us a jaw dropping cliffhanger just because it is a novella. They wouldn't leave us hanging like that...or...technically they would. I also really enjoyed the texting banter between Amelie and Baxter that was periodically included between chapters. It added some humor and meshed the two together as we followed both of them on the spring breaks. If you read the Vengeance series, you'll remember that Baxter is originally from that series(this current series happens before that one). There is an extreme change in Baxter's character from book 1 and 2 of that series and this novella finally lets us see what Baxter's POV is during that pivotal moment of meeting Raven. I really loved seeing how he began to feel something for another person, other than his singular friendship with Amelie, and the catalyst to his change in demeanor and a bit of his outlook on life, just because of one meeting that involved a girl who didn't see him for his name and a knife. Looking forward to the next book!

***OG summary posted in book 1 review, same overall breakdown for all (4) books below***
This seemed like an optional book, but apparently was not, as book three opened with parts from books 2.5, so maybe read it if you actually want to finish the series.
This is dual pov, between Amelie and Branson only.
I actually like his as a character, and assume after this he may get his own book? If not, what a waste of a semi okay character.
He is hidden away on some islands, and Amelie and Kalen go back to Australia for a funeral and Easter break.
Spoilers but like do you care?
Her mom Debbie, yeah, her real mom…makes an appearance, so does the grandma Branson has been working for.
More childish Kalen, I mean the worst he has ever been, I skipped soooooo much, and more monster cock.
Skip to the last three chapters so you can just move on. Nextttttt
Overall? 1
Plot? 2 (bk1), 2 (bk2), 1 (bk2.5), 0 (bk3)
Spice? 2 all the way
Char Dev? Where? 0…nah 1, for Susan.
Cheating? No, but fuck if there should have been
HEA? Wouldn’t give a fuck but maybe
Triggers? Yeah, drugs, alcohol, sexual assault, ptsd, re-trauma, parental abuse, age gap
Tropes? Reverse harem, but shouldn’t have been, crime organization, enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers to wtf? High school bully sort of, shitty guys, poor excuse of a heroine.
