Stonebridge Academy #4

by K.J. Thomas

Any amount of strength can be reached within, only if you dig deep enough.

Willow
The lines have been drawn and I just need to hold on for a little longer.
Easier said than done!
I’ll be damned, if I don’t pull my family out of this.
I have the best chance of saving everyone. Even though they won’t approve, I’ll do what needs to be done.
I just hope they can forgive me.

He’s still the King of Stoneridge Academy,
but none of that matters anymore.
It’s only him and me.

Silas
Six months ago, I would’ve never predicted where I would be right now.
I thought I’d be single and miserable forever, now I’m the happiest guy alive.
Willow does all this for me, and more.

She’s the only one for me…
The second half of my soul.
I already lost too much…
I’ll be damned if I lose her, too.

This is not a sweet love story, this is a DARK ROMANCE. If you don't like dark romance this book is not for you. Please note this book contains certain TRIGGER warnings.

More drama and danger for this couple. We get a new characters: are they friend or foe? Levi is still messing with their minds and lives. However, Morgan has a plan. If she can just get everyone else on board, it just might work. Go on another adventure with Hudson, Morgan , the family and the Bobs. Read the first 3 episodes first!

This was an epic ending to an amazing series!! Holy wow did Morgan close out the craziness in her own wonderful, strong, bada$$ style. Totally epic.

Thanks to Booksprout for the book. My review is voluntary and my own honest words.

Finale to Hudson and Morgan's story filled with teenage drama/angst

One More Day is the fourth book in the Ridgeside High series and the first book of the series that I have read. I am not a real "bully romance" story reader but I really enjoyed the Moretti series by this author so I thought I would pick this book up and try it. So it turns out that I am still not a bully/high school romance reader. Plus this is a series where all of the books must be read in order otherwise you won't understand the story of Hudson and Morgan.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This book took me longer to read because I feel like a lot of the book was soo drawn out. Also some things weren't really believable. Her best friends(I'm terrible with names) greif could have been described so much more and it was a missed opportunity. I found it odd that chapters were in Levi's perspective but, nothing made me feel empathy for him. Yet another missed opportunity. And then the Twins were just an added event that was not necessary at all. Then I'll address the ending, when I went to download this book I already saw that people were unhappy with end but I didn't read into that because normally people are just unhappy with any series ending. I was kind of expecting the ending. Although, the fact that it just skipped five years in an epilogue, was a little surprising. There were just some question that I was left with and just cramming those explanations in the epilogue didn't work for me.

I wanted to love this book

This was a really disappointing finale to this story I have devoured and impatiently waited for each book. The book started off great, then the ending was so rushed, it took my rating way down. What happened with Nick and Macy? One minute the new character and Morgan hated each other, then they were best friends. What about Harper? It honestly felt like Thomas was sick of this story and threw together a sloppy ending. I don't have any complaints about the first 95% since that was all buildup. I wouldn't even call what we got an ending. Stuff happened, then we got a short epilogue. I read these books on KU and because of how this series ended, will not purchase the paperbacks and digital books like I was originally planning. I think we fans of the series deserved a better ending

Excellent conclusion to this suspenseful, dark bully romance series!

This is book four in the series and you must read books 1-3 before reading this book.

With everything Morgan and Hudson have been through already, it's beginning to wear them both down. Having to constantly worry about Levi and his sick, twisted, deadly games is keeping them on edge. Morgan comes up with an idea on how to draw Levi out, but Hudson and her father aren't going to like it. This is such a wonderful series and I highly recommend it!

I finally got to read the happily ever after for Hudson and Morgan. Levi is a sick twisted thorn in the side of Hudson and Morgan's relationship. I did not see the end coming, KJ Thomas knows how to keep me extremely captivated. I have loved the story of Hudson and Morgan, but I am very happy that they can have some peace to their relationship. Morgan was getting tired of the wedge that Levi is trying to drive between her and Hudson, so she comes up with a plan to rectify that. I cannot wait to see what KJ Thomas comes up with next.

Amazing series!

This is the fourth book in the Ridgeside High series, and the conclusion to Hudson, and Morgans epic story. Morgan, and her whole family are being tormented by Levi, and his twisted games. Unable to take it anymore, and wanting to save her family from anymore trouble, Morgan comes up with a plan to put an end to Levi, and his games. Can Hudson keep Morgan safe so they can get their happy ending? This was a captivating read, intense, suspenseful, dramatic, twisted, and emotional. This is a must read. 4.5 Stars.

This is an incredible end to this epic series! Morgan and all of her family are tired of being trapped by Levi and all his games. Aaron and Carly are the targets and decide to leave so that the rest of the group can go back to their lives. But Morgan is tired of always looking over her shoulder so she takes it upon herself to finish it! And gawd does she finish it it in Morgan Rossi style! I fell in love with these two right from the beginning of the series and their happy ending is epic! I will definitely miss these guys!

Wow... just wow..

This was a fabulous series.. I waited until I finished the last book for a review... Hudson and Morgan... perfect couple.. love and hate relationship... started out as a hate relationship with Hudson thinking Morgan’s dada caused the death of his mom ..( this isn’t a spoiler because we find out already his mom is still alive)...then there is Levi.. talk about a creepy scary asshole... this is a series u have to read.. I’m not going to say much more because u need to read it for itself... it deserves more than 5 stars!!!

Great Conclusion to Silas & Willow!

What an ending! But what about Leo!?! Everyone was mentioned, but Leo. He left with Carly & Aaron, but the author never gave updates on him in the epilogue.
Aside from that, I enjoyed this series! I thought Silas was kinda a jerk when he “broken up” with Willow. The things he said to her/about her were horrible. But I loved seeing how protective he was over Willow. From hating her & wanting to kill her father, he quickly fell in love with Willow!
Great conclusion and overall a really great hs enemies-lovers romance!!

[Linda Frigault · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was one of my favorite series of 2019. It introduced me to KJ Thomas work and make me fall in love with her writting. I couldn't wait to read this conclusion but dreaded it at the same time cause i didn't want it to end. What an epic series this turned out to be. Like the previous books this one was an action-packed, page turner, edge of your seat and emotional read.

Grand and Wonderful…

Wow, I feel as if I was in a whirlwind of drama and intrigue. This ENTIRE series has kept me wanting to enroll in the Academy, just so I can follow both Willow and Logan.

I’m so fangirling… I’m so looking forward to seeing what will come in the future…

The stakes are higher than ever. Read this conclusion to this series, ASAP. Thrilling from start to finish, Morgan and Hudson are amazing, but their lives are in danger. You have to read the previous books. I am very sad, that this is it for these characters.

This book is totally worth the read. Every page will have you enthralled and panting for more. Let’s not forget to mention the chemistry of these two. You can really feel the passion.
The twists in this tale just adds spice to an already exciting and adventurous tale
that will shock you. I highly recommend this tale and eagerly await the next book in this series.

Awww can’t believe we’ve come to the end, but what an ending! 😳 loved storyline and the characters, great ending although a little bit abrupt, but great all the same, looking forward to reading what comes next from this author 😁

Terrible

I have a scathing review for book 3, and I said I was just reading because it’s funny how bad it is…

This book doesn’t let me down on that front. The end of Chapter 1 isn’t even a complete sentence. In fact, it literally reads “One he’ll never s”.

Seriously, don’t waste your time with this series. It went from bad to worse.

[Angelica Larsson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wellwritten, actionpacked and fastpaced book filled with emotions and wonderful characters. Love the chemistry between Hudson and Morgan. A great series!

Silas is back in this fourth installment and this one was the best. Everybody had to work to together against Logan. I'm really going to miss these characters.

Wonderful

This book is awesome. Love the whole series. It keeps you into it. Hard to put it down. Diffently need to read.

[Rosa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a great series. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is because the end was very rushed. Other than that it was an amazing series.
