Anarchy at Prescott High (The Havoc Boys) Paperback – November 10, 2020

Oscar is my favorite if I have to choose. I could never figure any of the guys out but especially him. Getting to see why he is the way he is was awesome, but I love the whole “I’m not human, I’m a robot” thing he has going on with his personality. I loved a lot of scenes in this one because so much happened that I didn’t see coming, but my favorite has to be at the end. Everything that leads up to Bernie earning her crown. I’m excited to see how this series ends. My only complaint is the pacing. It felt like it could’ve been done quicker. There were a few parts that I felt were irrelevant, but they may be necessary for book 5. I highly recommend this series though. 4.5 ⭐️

This book in the series was full of a lot of revelations and action, but our main characters are still in plenty of hot water

Good book. Lots of action and plot development. Spice is good too. Even though the book and story is good, the series is entirely too long. It's taking me forever to finish and I'm getting bored in a way. I wish it was 3 books or even 4 books that aren't as king in length then. Like I said, I really enjoy the plot and characters but it's very drawn out even with all the action. I'm curious to see how it all ends though!

These books are addicting!! I feel like I started and ended it before I knew it and it was absolutely heart breaking and thrilling. Every time I open one of Bernie's I feel like the story comes alive.You have such a way of describing the crappy situations that she continues to get her self into. And how she continues to dig her self out of the holes she's either dug her self or the paths that have been thrown in front of her.She feels unworthy of the crown of Havoc. Like she is endangering her men that have all wormed their ways into a special place in her heart. They are all a little messed up in their own way but they are family nonetheless and they would die for each other. What Bernie refuses to get is that Havoc is only whole because of her and for her. They would set the world on fire for her.This book is filled with action, death, a little crazy incest, some wild love scenes, some sorrow, hallucinations and Bernie rising to gain her spot as queen of Havoc. Because as we know no one messes with Havoc and lives to tell it later.If you have not checked out this series yet I implore you to do so because it is FREAKING AMAZING!!!

⚠️Spoilers Ahead....Despite a major plot issue, this installment of the Prescott High Havoc series is another win for the writer.The Havoc Boys/Prescott High series is one of the best RH high school bully book series available today. The effort & thought that goes into creating the characters for this series is exceptional & the author gets very high marks for creating such depth in all of her characters.⚠️Spoiler Comment!! Read no further unless you’ve read the series...⚠️One caveat for me with this book was the idea of how it benefits HAVOC for Vic to “annul” his marriage to Bernie & marry his mother’s choice, Trinity Jade. Trinity Jade’s relative is supposedly a judge who can transact a quick annulment for Vic & Bernie to enable Vic to marry Trinity. This is explained that Vic’s inheritance will then be halved & Trinity Jade will use funds to infuse her family with cash & also fund Ophelia..Vic’s mother. THIS MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. A judge on the pad can also declare Vic incompetent & institutionalize him, thereby giving his “wife” complete control of finances. So...the plot device seems ridiculous in the manner it’s used as an excuse to “protect Bernie from harm.” The entire point of Vic’s insistence on marrying Bernie was to secure his inheritance. There would be zero upside to an annulment which then forces him to marry someone under his mother’s influence and potentially opens him to a legal proceeding that could have him locked into a mental institution or fighting for his money in court with a hostile spouse. This just doesn’t track. Even if Vic never had the intent to go through with the annulment, the damage the plot device has to the Vic & Bernie storyline...for me is a bust. I wouldn’t tolerate that thought process on the premise that it was only a gambit to “keep me safe.” Dividing forces is never safe. I’ll be curious to see how this pans out in the final installment, but my mind wondered to Bernie taking Heather and leaving the area once this plot line evolved into the “annulment” plan. There is no way to come back from that in my mind & none of the other Havoc boys really seemed to understand the severity of the choice to allow Vic to humor his mother in that regard. Once Bernie had to entertain the idea that her “marriage” would be annulled and made the case to herself that she “didn’t care about marriage anyway,” I felt all the hell she was put through to become a Havoc girl was severely undermined. No, I’m not a huge fan of marriage & I don’t have this opinion for religious reasons. I have this opinion because the plot device undermines Bernie’s position in Havoc, her emancipation, and her tenuous “guardianship” of Heather. Losing her legal marital status would be detrimental not only to Vic & his big drive to claim his inheritance, but mostly for Bernie as an underage girl who’s trying to keep her sister, Heather safe. This wasn’t thought through in a way that makes sense to me.I’m sure the series as a whole won’t suffer for it but for me, the Vic/Bernie “love story” is now marred to the point that I don’t see a way to bridge the chasm. Once Vic entertained humoring his mother, his appeal was gone for me. There are other ways to gather intelligence without compromising Bernie’s safety or the safety of her sister.

So glad the author Stunich ended up making this series into 5 books instead of the original 3 books we anticipated. This book definitely set a tone to how I was reading this book in the beginning. I feel Bernadette’s darkness, her sadness, her jealousy, her hate, and her feeling of being completely lost. All these things set my mood while reading it that so much of my interactions in the real world were effected by it showing how well Stunich can write.We see inside of Bernadette’s soul in this book after her being with HAVOC for such a short period of time. She is figuring out how to deal with all the damage that’s happened in her past and how to move forward.For the men we see who Hael is and who he wants to be for our Queen. We see Aaron get torn apart for what he has to do for our Queen and the people she loves. We see Victor show how much he cares for her and wants to be her everything. I did want to harm Vic throughout a lot of this book even if I understand he does it for his Queen. His attitude did strike me different though in this book because he’s normally so wild with his love. Oscar we learn A LOT more about why he is the way he is. I also give him major applause for growing a pair and trying to be more for his Queen. Callum shows he will do a lot to defy his King for his Queen and I kind of fell a little harder for him.Pretty much just read these books. There is so much to them that you will be hanging onto your pillow 90 percent of the time gasping as the drama unfolds. Can’t wait to see book 5 and get the final conclusion of the HAVOC series.
