Nothing was really grabbing my attention so I jumped into this which has been collecting dust in my iPad since release day yonks ago.

This was a super quick tease which grabbed my attention enough for me to grab book#1

I haven’t read anything by this author in a hot minute so I’m hoping to play catch up on one’s I’ve not finished and ones I’ve purchased and not started.

And yet again thanks Goodreads for crashing whilst writing my review, third time I’ve lost everything I’d typed down in the last week, so thanks for that!

“When everything else is changing, you’re the one constant I can always rely on.”

Prequel shirt for the Dirty Crazy Bad Duet. Introduces the characters and I assume the main angst/antagonist of the first book. It seems like it will be enemy step-brother/why choose romance. I’m not sure if I 100% click with the writing voice, so not sure I’ll continue. We shall see.

I wasn’t too sure if I was going to like this, with what seemed like the main characters already in an established relationship. Where do you go from here? Then Haynes/Ares happened. I think this is going to get good 😈.

WHAT AN AMAZING BEGINNING!!

I have already read Book 1 of Dirty Crazy Bad but this just adds so much into the story.

It is bad to love the bad guy… from the very beginning I have LOVED Ares! He is the epitome of Bad Boy!!! And Jase may put off good vibes but we all know he’s a bad boy in disguise!!! And I couldn’t never forget Chad… I love everything about him as he tries so hard just to do what right!!!

Gods… I can’t wait for book 2!!!!

This was weird. I know it’s just a prequel but I felt like I got no information. I don’t remember these people from Sainthood. A lot of inferences to stuff I guess we’re going to find out? It was super short but was still a waste of time.

Dirty Crazy Bad Books 1 & 2
Authour: Siobhan Davis 
@siobhandavisauthor

“I could not have gotten through this last year without you. You’re my rock, Ash. You’re my everything.” “As you are mine."

"The sexual tension between us is growing by the day, and I can’t wait until she gives in. I actually hope she doesn’t at first. Forcing her to confront her attraction to me will be all the sweeter."

“I miss you so fucking much. You’re the only thing on my mind, every second of every day.” He threads his fingers through my hair, moving in even closer… “You’re the other half of my heart and soul, Temptress."

Dirty Crazy Bad was the perfect title for this series because it's full of all three things and so much more.

I was addicted to this story, so many twists, turns, secrets, betrayals, lust, forbidden love, hate, and honesty I could add so many other descriptions words but the main point is this book was fucking amazing! I'm so glad there were two parts. It was worth every second.

This book was full of everything a good RH should have and want. Multiple POV was a must-need for this book. It helped me understand each character more and what was going on inside their heads. I had a hard time putting this book down and I also really felt for the characters. There were so many times I was hurting right along with our FMC Ashley and even the guys too. So much happens in these books and it still blows my mind. It will definitely be a reread for me.

So what you say is want to go on a dirty, crazy bad adventure with  Ashley, Jase, Chad, and Ares. Read this book!

Dirty Crazy Bad is a prequel to a full-length novel releasing this summer with the same name. I am obsessed with Siobhan Davis’s books and the Sainthood- Boys of Lowell High so I am soooo excited about this new series! You don’t have to read that series to start the new one but I do recommend it since it’s amazing! I don’t want to give anything away so I won’t get into the story but I will say I am here for it. I am already hooked in with these characters and can’t wait to see what is going to happen next.

Honestly feel bad for Ashley. Her parents are barely in her life, yet they have the nerve to just show up, dump all the news without caring. At least she’s set for life financially, I guess.

But Ares? Total bad news. If he’s an ML, that’s a huge yikes. He acts like a harasser 🤢 and that ending dialogue... he better not try to steal what’s rightfully hers 🫵.

Never thought I would pick up another Siobhan Davis book on account of The Sainthood series being very dear to me and I didnt want to be introduced to another set of characters I'll adore but here we are.

Prequel Dirty Crazy Bad

Short and to the point. A little spicy and I can already tell there is going to be a whole lot of drama.

I’m ready to dive into book 1!

I have mixed feelings on this one. As always the author did great as far as it being well written. However, I don't feel as if I needed it. Personally for me I think the other two books were great.

Originally in the anthology Nightingale this short story is a prequel to the explosive Dirty Crazy Bad duet that resides in the fictional world of The Sainthood - Boys of Lowell.

This story takes place purely in Lowell with an introduction to Ashley, Chad and Jase, in their relationship and a brief encounter with Ares as well. You might even catch a glimpse of Harlow and her men.

This story is hot, fast paced and everything you'd expect in Siobhan's dark world. I loved it and it reminded me how much I miss Harlow and her Sainthood boys.

The prequel didn’t lend a lot of light as to what I could expect from the series but after I read the whole series, I could appreciate what was attempted with the prequel.

You don't have to read this in order to understand the story and didn't feel like it was worth the time. Although you can read the whole thing in like 30 minutes.

answers and more questions

THIS IS THE SHORT STORY FROM SIOBHAN DAVIS THAT WAS IN THE NIGHTINGALE ANTHOLOGY TO SUPPORT UKRAINE.
SINCE THE FINAL BOOK TO DIRTY CRAZY BAD IS RELEASING AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, SIOBHAN MADE THIS SHORT PREQUEL (IM TALKING -30 PAGES) AVAILABLE SEPERATELY.
WE GET A PEEK AT JUST HOW CHAD AND THE SAINTHOOD ARE CONNECTED, AS WELL AS THE START OF ARES AND ASH BECOMING STEPSIBLINGS. PLUS, JASE AND THE INTRODUCTION TO HIS SHITSHOW OF A LIFE "GIRLFRIEND" THE INTRODUCTION BETWEEN ARES AND THE OTHERS WAS AS INTENSE AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, BUT IT LEAVES ME WITH $00000 MANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT ARES AND HIS MOM THAN BEFORE! COULD BE READ BEFORE YOU READ THE DUET!

TITLE: Dirty Crazy Bad - Prequel
GENRE: Dark Romance
AUTHOR: Siobhan Davis
TROPE: Enemies to Lovers, Stepbrother
TYPE: Series (Dirty Crazy Bad Duet - Prequel)
POV: Single POV
MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5

Ashley's world is blown up instantly in this quick-read prequel to the Dirty Crazy Bad duet when Ares crashes her house party one night, almost coming to blows with her boyfriend. Little did she know that night that her whole world would change.

This prequel is a very short read leading up to book one of the duet; usually, I don't read short novellas like this, but it was free, so I decided why not give myself some background to the story before starting book one. It has left me curious about what is about to come making this a 4 / 5 Star rating, in my opinion.

So, this is the prequel for the duet. It's also strongly connected with "The Sainthood" series. I haven't read it yet, but I'll definitely read it before I continue with this duet. I just "need" to read my freebies first before I have KU soon. Yes, I'm an extreme planner, so that I'll get out the most from my subscription time 😎

Oh, I see a looooot of drama and more...
And yes, it already shocked me 😱 Not because of any trigger (there aren't any, yet), but of what will cause all the drama. And I'm so excited to read the full story soon 🤩

Yes, that's not really a review 🙈 But I think sometimes it's enough to just show what you've read and spread the words 😁
