I got the audiobooks of this series to refresh my brain before Dylan came out in December and I thought the narrators did a fabulous job! I totally thought Marnye did her homework and really got into character and brought Butterfly to life! Her performance, emotions, inflections were just how I imagined while reading, no constructive feedback from me this time, 5 stars. I think Jarred did a great job as well 4-4.5 stars from me with some of the guys and their emotions in this book, but it was kinda tough when the guys were very closed off (on purpose with the storyline). I will say Jarred improved as the series got on so by book 3 they were both easily 5 stars and added to my awesome narrator list.
For the storyline, I enjoy Jaymin and Tate as a writing duo. I think they really feed off each other well, bringing the best out of each other. I think Jaymin's writing leans more toward YA sometimes so Tate's more adult and steamier writing helped elevate the sexy and high-tensioned scenes (holy moly man, the chemistry already in book 1 🔥🔥🔥). I think Jaymin helps Tate create more in-depth character development (not saying Tate didnt do this before), I just think Jaymin really helps make an intricate story and relationship levels if that makes sense haha.
I am always hesitant when picking up bully romances because I was bullied as a kid but this one wasn't as bad as some I have read/listened to. I also don't always read M/F but definitely enjoyed this one that I didnt mind at all. It made sense to not make it RH with how territorial Beck is haha. I like the mystery evil empire and guy clique trope, the authors do a great job setting the stage for the rest of the series in Broken Wings. I loved the side characters (except the evil parents haha) and was intrigued to see how Beck and Riley could get over their actions and decisions with each other. I was totally team Dante in book 1 but thought he was super fishy in terms of Riley's mom with the phone number thing haha. This book keeps you on your toes and I liked the car racing aspect (my dad used to work on and then race them so it was cool to talk to him about some of the things mentioned in this series). I also thought the heartache was so real sometimes, I had to stop listening and collect myself. This happened mores in the other books, but the scenes with Riley in the hospital were devastating and felt so real! True testament to the writing and narration being a perfect meld.
Without giving away anything, I definitely recommend this series and loved each book as they went along (will explain in those reviews next haha). Let me just say I am so happy Dylan got his own story and I am dyingggg for the other guys to get theres. Great job Tate and Jaymin ❤️❤️❤️

Obsessed
My only regret in life is not reading these books sooner. Super glad this is a finished series, because I’m about to absolutely devour the rest of it. I’m typically not a fan of HS, but this will be one of my few exceptions. Obsessed is an understatement.
