1.5⭐️
well this is awkward. just like the interactions with hawke and aro. i'm sorry. i knew the minute i read the first 3 pages that this would be my least fav PD book. the reasons why?
1. i don't like books with druggies or drug dealers or child criminals. idk why but i just avoid books with them because i cant stand it.
2. aro being a criminal (with actual real life problems) and hawke being a sports athlete... how did these two worlds meet? beats me because it didn't make sense.
3. tommy being a criminal at 13? wow. half of the "pirates" being 13? wow. that was a fucking mess. i'm sorry but if you wanna make this a trope at least make the characters older because they barely got out of diapers and they already doing GTA.
4. all that rebel and pirate talk... its a sports club not a fucking james bond movie.
ANYWAYS. to the romance now.
chapter 16.
being the worst chapter i've EVER read. and besties i've read a shit ton of books that were awful but i never cringed of embarrassment and awkwardness until now. i just don't how PD went from writing characters like jared, DAMIEN, kai, MICHAEL, KALEB, misha, will, and so on... to...
hawke
:) oh dear lord. i actually love the virign hero trope. but this THIS made me hate it. hawke seemed like a mute and a person who can't process anything instead of being inexperienced.
if y'all read these quotes and still tell me this ain't awkward... ok maybe its me but dear heavens. i just i couldn't.
the only thing i did like in this book was how FAST i read it. i mean genuinly the writing was easy to read but i found the book way too boring. there was no climax. there was no plot. there was no romance. there was no chemistry.
now i just want hunter's book. i don't even care about dylan. this book ruined her for me. but HUNTER <3
dylanhunter <3

“You don’t have to worry about impressing me,� she goes on. “And I don’t have to worry about impressing you. We can just…practice.�
“Do you need practice?�
I feel like she’s doing this because she feels sorry for me. She’s trying to help, but I don’t want to use her.
“I just want to touch you.� She stares off, not looking up at me. “And maybe see if I like it.�
Is she lying? I feel like she’s thinking she’ll act like she’s the one who needs help when she’s actually just handling me.
“You can touch me,� she whispers, her breath falling on my mouth. “If you want.�
…u�
“She whispers over my skin. “Say ‘you make me hard, Rebel.’�
I grab her ass in both hands, grinding us together just once as I hover over her mouth. “You make me hard, Rebel.�
“I like the way you look,� I tell her.
“I like the way you look, too.�
“Can I…� I start, feeling braver all of a sudden. “Can we do a little more? Can I see…more?�
the only thing i did like in this book was how FAST i read it. i mean genuinly the writing was easy to read but i found the book way too boring. there was no climax. there was no plot. there was no romance. there was no chemistry.

dylanhunter <3
“Dylan purses her lips, looking away. “Like Hunter cares. Grudge Night is so far off his radar, I’m sure he’s not the least bit interested in our petty games.� She folds her arms over her chest. “He left me on Read the last two times I texted.�

Great review love! I don’t know if you liked the other books by Penelope, I’ve read 2 so far and she’s definitely not my cup of tea and definitely the quotes are a huge no from me aswell. Hope your next read will be better <3

this book made me not excited for the rest of this series
im reading it rn and i hate Hawke so much💀 i legit want to slap him with his over-privileged arse. scared to read the rest.
Mira is it confirmed Dylan is paired with hunter? Why this book ruined her for you? I barely remember the parents epilogue to know who is the the parent and I didn’t liked the series but it was so addicting at the time I read it I think I will read this but now i have to think twice

Rebeka wrote: "Mira is it confirmed Dylan is paired with hunter? Why this book ruined her for you? I barely remember the parents epilogue to know who is the the parent and I didn’t liked the series but it was so ..."1. dylan's love interest isn't confirmed, the ending made it more confusing.
2. PD isn't ruined for me. i just didn't like this book, i like some books and i don't like some. it just depends on the couple.
3. i didn't like most of the 1st generation books either. i did like jaxjuliet and the novellas but i would suggest for you to wait until the other books come out because all these families and their names are very confusing here. it wasn't also good in terms of pairing but go for it when you're bored.
I think I will wait. Thanks! I mean why Dylan is ruined for you? The only book I’m excited is her and I hope her pair is Huber and not the bad twin. She is definitely a hit or miss author.
I'm reading it right now and I'm bored 😴 I cannot get past the 25% markI was so excited for this, I legit thought it would be a 5 star read. btw great review mira
I can't wait for Hunter's book. He's ganna be something 🥵.
I felt the same exact way .. I mean who tf was hawk??
"...if you wanna make this a trope at least make the characters older because they barely got out of diapers and they already doing GTA."PLEASE I SCREAMED AHHAHA I completely agree! I hate reading about addition and drug users in books 😒
Oh gawd... I have had this in my 'want to read' for 4 years! Now, I am not sure that I want to. I loved 'Bully' and the rest of the 'Fall Away' series. I really really didn't like what I read of the 'Devils' Night' series. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! Do I read this... or not? Will it ruin the rest of the series for me? See, I really want to read Quinn's story when that comes... but am now worried! Help!

i didn't think this would be 5 stars because i knew PD's writing isn't for me but yes it was in fact very boring

ugh only 1 of them was 13... i may have mixed up characters but you know... i don't have an excuse i just didn't care

the way i avoided the fall away series and this just confirms why lol

mia wrote: "the way i avoided the fall away series and this just confirms why lol"umm i liked the falling away series. i mean i liked some books. i think i would've liked this book if i knew if it was clean/dark romance so i could set my mood. but overall if you like a clean romance this is for you.
