Sick Boys #3
Natural Born Killers
Rule No. 3: Never let anyone think they can hurt you and get away with it.
I thought I’d seen and felt the worst of it, but there’s nothing worse than betrayal.
Corina knows who’s behind what happened to me and she may think hiding will keep her safe, but after everything that’s happened, nothing can keep her safe from me and the Sick Boys. She’s a pawn in all of this, but I’ll get that information even if it means I have to cut it out of her - piece by fucking piece.
This little charade is about to end. They thought they could drag me down into the dirt and grind my soul into the dust. What they failed to realize is that there’s nothing left of my soul and I don’t mind getting a little dirty if it means getting my revenge. I may have let her fool me once, but there’s no way in hell I’ll let her fool me twice.
After I’m done with her, I’m going after the big boys.

ava complain too much & i hated her even more after this. her mom had all the answers and she decided to kild her, like bitch are you dumb. heroine was overly sensitive and wasnt strategic enough.
ava finally confessing her undying love to Dean while he's (almost) dying, lol <3 and then get this? heroine cant even say, "i love you too" back to her fiancé when he lives.
riley and eva friendship feels force almost. did NOT feel genuine. ava is a loner who likes to act bad & riley is a shady hacker who does her own thang, so both of these bitches didnt know how to make friends and had no friends either, so in da end. lucy smoke decided to paired them up like lab partners with no choice.
also no epilogue from d & a, but da epilogue went to riley instead. smh.

The conclusion to Dean and Avalon's story.
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this third book as much because:
1. Avalon's character development still remains stagnant
In my review for the earlier books, I mentioned she's a very abrasive person with a lot of pent up rage and takes it out on others via violence. It still remains true. You do see more of her mental struggles with her past traumatic incidents but her vulnerable side is practically non-existent. I hate how she always lashes out on Dean or punches him whenever he tries to get her to open up or help her. She even threw a few tantrums because she's convinced herself that Dean doesn't want her anymore. UM, we didn't come this far in the series to have this doubt pouring in and with how much Dean has done for her, his devotion to her should be obvious.
2. The "psychoness" got turned up 1000%
I did not care for the gruesome details of the torture/murder scenes or the amped up twisted side of Avalon & Dean's romance. I was also put off by Avalon's constant desire to kill to feel better about herself.
Ex. 1: The mutilation of : Uhh, yeahhh this scene was a bit much. What was even more weird was when Avalon and Dean decided to have sex right next to the corpse because they were so turned on.
Ex. 2: Avalon & Dean carved each other's name on their skins. And then had sex in their blood. This was just...no.
3. An entire epilogue gets dedicated to a side character's POV I guess this is to set up Riley's standalone but readers don't get any closure on Dean and Avalon's story.
4. Unanswered questions...
- What happened to Micki or Ace?
- Who was the girl Luc was reminiscing about? What were the horrible things Corina did to the 'others' that Luc was referring to? If the Kincaids are so elite and important, aren't they going to investigate ?
- What the hell was Nicholas doing behind the scenes to
- I'm still confused what motivated Corina to ?!

I really enjoyed this series. Whilst sometimes I felt heroine was sometimes a little too abrasive her being strong more than made up for it.

I didn’t expect anything less from this series. Such a brutal, bloody,sexyAF read. This was the conclusion for avalon and dean story. This one was amazing as rest of 2 books .The character has strong development. The suspenseful reveal was not that dramatic as what i had hoped. I love avalon and i know i am going to love rylie. I can’t wait to read their story.

I am enjoying listening to this series. Besides the fact that the girl , Ava, is “too much”, the books are actually really good. I understand Ava but she’s not relatable. On the other hand, the mystery and actions are actually cool. I like all 4 sick boys , they all have something I like. Dean and Ava are a perfect pair since they are basically the same. On the side note I love hearing the way the narrator for Dean whispers in certain situations, it’s so hot.
Now I think I might like the next book even more because I do have a soft spot for Abel and it’s his story with our favorite hacker girl ❤️

Wow! This book is darker, bloodier, and sexier than the ones before it! Once again, it took me through all the feels. Dean & Avalon's story was certainly given a worthy ending and I look forward to seeing what future books come from this world. Readers: strap on that safety harness and get ready for a ride! Don't say I didn't warn you. Cuz you may think you know what's coming, but I can assure you...you don't.

I've got this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Oh, hell yes!!!
Exactly what I needed! Lucy just knows what she wants to deliver and she delivers it in the best way imaginable! Dark, twisted, remorseful but make it savage as our girl Avalon!
I can't believe that Avalon and Dean's story ends right here with this book. The journey has been one of the best ones and I just truly hope we will get to see them again in next books.
Their story was special. From enemies-to-lovers they went and remained. Their darkest sins were their armours. They were strong, hot-headed and beautiful together. Also lethal, but who counts, haha.
We got to finally see new friendship to form between Rylie and Avalon and I hope this one will last (although by reading the ending it could go sideways). I can't wait to see how it unfolds.
I was loving the support system throughout this entire series between Avalon, Dean, Abel and Braxton! They are tough and when they love someone they will do anything for them! Sick Boys are a force not to be reckoned with! And if then prepare to die.
The twisted, dark and bloody parts of this book were written in such an amazing way. When I read it it fell as though I'm right there next to Avalon and helping her. The whole book felt either as if I was there with her/them or as if I were Avalon. Amazing experience if I can say that.
We still haven't gotten answers about Micki which I think either she's a very important character or something happened and it involves someone else.
Also Rylie's life ain't as easy as we thought it looked! By the tiny spoiler we get at the end of the book, I'd say we're in for a wild ride!
I must say that the revenge Avalon did was rightful! I don't support revenge as much but in her case it was justified! Not that she's need any justification, haha.
The nightmares? They were the worst! She's such a strong character that it even amazes me! Yes, she probably needs to work on some of her issues, but who doesn't? We all have seen parts of the world we'd rather forget on our own than talk about them and relive them! It ain't as easy as it sounds.
Overall this book was perfection in every sense of the word! Lucy Smoke is official my favourite author! No matter what book she writes, I know that I will buy it without hesitation and devour it! Love, love, lover HER! Thank you for this amazing experience and ride!

Even though I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading this book... It wasn't as good as book 2.
I think this one was just a teeny tiny bit ott. That said, I still devoured it.
Now that Dean and Avalon's story is finished, I am very curious about the other boys and their story.
So jumping into those right now ..

“You and I both know that appearances can be deceiving, baby. So sync your little nails into my skin, punch me, and threaten all you want. None of that will alter any of my decisions when it comes to keeping you safe. “
Dean Carter is the alpha badboy you want in your side. Because if you’re not, it’s pretty terrifying.
In this serious though?! No one is more terrifying than Avalon Manning.
This book is FULL of revenge. Revenge. More revenge. And then pack more revenge on top.
Everyone gets what is coming to them.
Also take note, this book was full of revelations. All the secrets that Dean Carter’s father was keeping?! We find out all of it.
We find out everything that has to do with Avalon‘s past.
But I mean... the alpha/possessive romance?!
Omg. I was swooning so hard for Dean.
“The answer is simple. Avalon is worth everything. She’s worth the moon and the stars. The sun in the sky. She’s worth my death in my afterlife. If she asked for my beating heart right out of my goddamn chest just so she could live another day, I give it to her without a second thought.“
These two together are dynamite. I mean, unstoppable force. There are some really dark and graphic moments in this book when it comes to the revenge on the very people who hurt Avalon and who were a part of the horrific moment that happened to her. If you’re squeamish, read those parts with one eye open.
Lol.
It definitely leaves off with a happily ever after for now. But also an intro to more books possibly that highlight the secondary characters. Which I am really excited about!

I was bored-ish.
Avalon has a chance to get info out of her mother and Corina on the big who dunnit and she’s like nope, option number 2 please.
Avalon’s love/trust/obsessive-whateverthisis-all-the-damn-time with Dean covers a lot of the plot. Ever consider using that time for, oh I don’t know… hunting the evil billionaires and using hackers, a fixer, and throwing around some of that unimaginable wealth? Maybe less feelings more doings? (I’m judging you.)
It was pretty obvious it was Abel and Braxton’s dads and we get like nada on that. It’s just like 5 pages worth of weak sauce (action) and it’s over.
And Micki. Now, I’m guessing she’s Luc’s book, because she’s obviously his long lost bestie. But thanks girl, seriously, bless your heart, for leaving us to pick up the pieces.

September 28, 2021I had to dnf this one unfortunately. Read book 1 and 2, and I felt like this series had so much potential to be amazing, but 50% in and I felt like there were no real answers, just more almosts.
Lots of internal dialogue, no real answers to plot points from book 1, little to no real romance(even the dark romance kind)…I just lost interest.

Well this escalated quickly. The series got progressively darker after each book, but surprisingly I was able to hang tough. Side note: I can be a bit of a pansy sometimes. lol
Again, the friend group and the way they supported Avalon through thick and thin made this an enjoyable read.
Triggers abound, so be careful.

The first 2 were much better this one was crazy repetitive when Ava was in her own head and it was all pretty predictable.

You've been kidnapped too many times Ava, it's time to call it.

Get it here:
Amazon US * Amazon UK
Dean's character grew a lot through these books and this last one really shows it. I loved the vulnerability that he showed to Ava and it was fun that he was the one chasing her even after all this time. The conclusion was pretty good and I think it answered a lot of questions, though it does leave some unanswered but I'm pretty sure we'll find out more about those in the next books. I feel pretty positive that I know what's going on with one of the unanswered questions so I can't wait to find out if I'm right or not. Though, I don't know when we'll finally get the answer since I don't think it will be in the next two books.

Third book and I’m hooked! The first 2 have Avalon’s struggle, this one is basically (and beautifully) redemption! Redemption! Yes I said it twice because if you have ever been violently hurt, Avalon has you boo. She gets it! And the ending chapters I could not put down and had me in ugly tears, I loooooved this one!

this series started off really good but I literally had to force myself to finish the last book because a lot of the shit was dragged tf out and it was so long like ew no ty

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 Stars! Great conclusion to this intriguing trilogy. I’m interested to read the other guys stories when they come out.

It feels like so long ago that I read Stone Cold Queen, so much so that when I picked up NBK I actually had a moment of, 'What were the other books about?' But I soon fell back into the story. Now I want to say this now, if I read this book straight after SCQ I would probably be giving it a higher rating. But having read a few (Or 20) books since then and not being used to the flow (Again) of Lucy's writing style this grated on me at times.
First there is the constant sex.... I like sex. Who doesn't? But OMFG. Wake up... Must have sex. I'm heading for my morning pee... Must have sex. Just mutilated an enemy with a knife and... Yeah you guessed it.... Must have sex. It was just so bloody constant I skimmed... A LOT!
I forgot just how annoying Avalon could be. Someone has betrayed me... Dean doesn't love me. Someone did something else... Dean doesn't love me. McDonalds had no Sausage and Egg McMuffins... Shit Dean obviously doesn't love or want me! I get that she has been left and *ucked over by everyone in her life but JEEEEESUS! Add to that her new 'killing instinct'. Yep I've no issue with dark (Nothing will ever be as sick as The Raping of Ava DeSantis cruelty... EVER!) but really with Corina was ALL that necessary?
Then there was loose ends at the end of this book (I didn't even bother reading the epilogue. I liked Riley a lot, but honestly I don't know if I could read another book if it means Ava and Dean will be there, maybe I'll change my mind). When we find out who was trying to kill Ava and why (I say why as I just feel it was a p*ss poor reason after all the climax and build up) it just felt flimsy. So much was put into side characters and 'actions' and then there was nothing really left to tell almost. It was like, 'oh A and B are the ones trying to kill you. its obvious as to why as we've left nothing to the imagination. Yeah we get its a crappy reason as its really not a reason at all. But hell we threw a little more distraction at the end anyway so be happy with the HEA'. Pfft, I'm not bitter honest.
I know it sounds like I really didn't like NBK and in honesty I actually did. It was 'ok'. It wasn't great, I wasn't mind blown. In fact I was left asking more stuff than when I started. What happened to Micki? There was the scene with Riley but was that ever elaborated on, or did I miss that during another of Dean and Ava's sexathons? I was expecting more. I love Lucy's books but this was just a let down for me. I'm going 3 stars on it, as I said I'd have maybe loved it more if I'd read this straight after the other books. OTT as always, but would you expect anything else? Kindle Unlimited book, so free if you subscribe. Read over 2 sittings.

I didn’t read the prologue this time …. Learning my mistake from the last 2 books. But still somehow I end up disappointed….
It’s the epilogue this time guess the author wants you to read book 4 but do I have the energy really ….. I settle for no I’m not wasting anymore hours on this saga! I’ll pretend micki is luc’s bitch that got away that was awesome and that ryile will be fine.
When it came time for the mother to spill the beans …. Well what a fucking disappointment that scene was!! After that not revealing the fathers name at fucking least was it, I ending up skimming and skipping pages until the truth was revealed…. All build up and no release tragic!!!!

3.5/5 ⭐️
3/5 🌶️
honestly? this series is AMAZING but this book was A LOT. in the previous book the fmc goes through something TRAUMATIC like worst than you can imagine but i think it was discussed way too much. like i get it, her mom was not a good mom and what happened to her is bad. but you already got revenge on who did it and you plan on more revenge GREAT. but the topic was just brought up too much for my liking 😫 idk maybe just me.
i’ll definitely keep going with this series to hear more about the rest of the chemistry these characters have but i’m kinda leaning towards not because it’s starting to seem too repetitive for me. 😭

DNF 17%
After the first book, everything went downhill. I just want to read about the other couples, so I might continue with the next books 🥴

Wow!!!
I need more like asap! This book, though very dark and twisted was epic! I loved these characters and can't wait to see what happens next with Rylie and Abel. Also what happens with Luc and Brax and even Micki. Hopefully I don't have to wait long!!!

OMFG!!! The conclusion to Dean and Avalon's story was just as dark, bloody, brutal, and sexy AF as I expected it to be. Dean and Avalon are volatile and consumed with darkness. Put them together and EXPLOSIONS, y'all.
From the first page this book never let up. Lies and betrayals were uncovered, vengeance was served, monsters came out to play, and our psycho couple got their VERY hard fought HEA. I knew going into this series it was going to be a whirlwind of emotions. Avalon went through hell over and over and over. She was so strong, so resilient, and while the other books focused on the plot, this one had a heaping dose of emotions thrown in.
I LOVED Dean. That boy was dark, twisted, and crazy about Avalon. His feelings toward her, how he supported her and stood by her side was just swoon-worthy. He embraced her darkness with his own and together they make one of the best couples ever. Add in the friendships with Abel, Braxton, and Rylie and this badass family is unstoppable.
I have some ideas about what's to come with the other Sick Boys. There are still loose ends that need to be tied and I. Can't. Wait. And I'm gonna say it, when all is said and done, I NEED AN EXTENDED EPILOGUE in the future with them all.
And let us not forget those sexy AF covers. They look gorgeous on my shelf.

Mon avis en Français
My English review
I really liked the first two books and I was very intrigued by the last book about Avalon and Dean. Yes, because the author has written two more books on each of the other two Sick Boys and I am now very curious to read them!
Avalon wants revenge. This desire is stronger than anything and nothing will stop her. Her goal is to find Corina and Ace and make them pay. She also wants to discover the truth about her past that nobody seems to want to reveal to her. Dean’s father knows everything about her and yet, he refuses to tell her anything. Alone, they’ll have to find out what’s going on, as danger closes in and Avalon’s life hangs in the balance.
With the help of the Sick Boys, Avalon may get her way, and hopefully she’ll get away unscathed!
This was a very good volume, a nice conclusion for both of our characters. I enjoyed finding out the truth, finally getting to the bottom of the story, even if I thought it was a bit big and brought up more questions. That aside, I can only recommend you to get into the series.
The last chapter deals with Rylie’s story and I am very curious to know her a little better. She is so mysterious…

A dark and twisted saga of revenge. The rich and powerful will find that they are not invincible. A savage girl, of their own making, is going to end their reign. It’s time for change.
Avalon wants revenge. She won’t be satisfied until she bathes in a river of their blood. Every last one of them.
Judgement day has arrived. Her mother. Corina. Everyone who had a hand in the horrors that have been done to her is going to pay. The reaper is coming and she will show no mercy.
Avalon and the Sick Boys have their work cut out for them beyond their thirst for revenge. There is always a puppet master and they need to figure out who is responsible. The secrets are plentiful and the players each have their own agenda. Uncovering the truth will not be easy, but they won’t stop until everyone gets their due.
The author will take you to the dark side and beyond. Avalon does not shy away from getting her hands dirty. The people who hurt her will feel her pain and she’s not holding back. The savage will come out.
Her boys will stand by her side. A family forged from loyalty and love. They are bonded for life now. Her feelings for Dean will overwhelm her at times and she’ll fight them. But they are connected in every way. Loving him is no longer a choice. He’s the air she breathes. Their love may be unconventional, but their devotion is beautiful and unwavering.
The story is emotional and multi-layered. The boys are complex and each has his own story to tell. I absolutely love every character in this series and I hope to get more of Abel, Braxton and Luc. They each deserve a forever love. A romantic suspense that will keep you at the edge and leave you wanting more.

⭐️: 4.25
🌶️: 5 (check the trigger warnings- this was super dark)
Wow! This final book for Dean & Avalon was insane! While it did have me on the edge of my seat, emotionally damaged, and sweating… it didn’t give me that same feel as book 1&2, but was still an amazing read.
The plot & ending: 8/10
Natural Born Killers was DARK & GRUESOME. Please check the content warnings for the entire series because it’s definitely on the pitch black psychotic side. I loved the evolution of the story, it was action packed and will destroy you. The ending felt a bit rushed but overall a great conclusion to Dean and Avalons story and segue into Abel and Rylie.
The Main Characters: 10/10
I don’t care what anyone says Avalon was badass and remained true to herself throughout the entire story. She’s dark and twisty and I loved that! Deans evolution was amazing to read. He definitely gives psychotic obsessed Alpha-hole who loves so fiercely.
The Side Characters: 10/10
Brax is my man! He’s one of those silent but deadly characters and I cannot wait for his story.
Abel was the cutest!! The way he supported Avalon has my heart in shambles. Love these two so so much.
Luc- I wish we got more of him, he seemed so freaking sexy and reminds me of Abel a lot.
Rylie- I was iffy about her but she made up for it in the end. I can’t wait for her story as well!
Jake- where the hell did he go? He was non existent in this book
Overall, Books 1-3 of the Sick Boys series was such an intense but fun ride if you like DARK romance.
