Victory at Prescott High: The Havoc Boys, Book 5

I can honestly say that for me this has to be one of the best series of books I have ever had the privilege to read. I was new to the world of Reverse Harem books before I read these and this book/series definitely does not let you down when it comes to a strong female role and the desire to have more than one love interest. From the very first book till the end I have spent nights hiding away from my family being wrapped up and engrosed in the world of HAVOC, falling in love with Victor yet hating him at the same time,intrigued with Callum and Oscar and desperate for Hael to man up! Yet falling head over heels for Aaron and wanting him to just embrace the love he has for Bernadette. I have cried like a baby and wanted to scream at times for the treatment she received? But it all comes down to HAVOC and what there true goal is and I will keep that a secret for those who have not read it? But you will!! and you will love and embrace the book like its character's as it flows like water from each chapter to the next book. You wont be able to put it down, desperate to know what happens next. CM Stunich has created a story with raw pain, heartbreaking moments and heroes you just want to see succeed over the evil, yet it comes back down to true unrequited love that will leave you hanging right till the end. What a powerful book and an honour to read, I will miss HAVOC and Bernie and wait and pray there story continues again one day.

Wow so much more than a brilliant series of books. Brilliant witty gritty and care I say perverse. Don't read it without a warning as it is full of explicit sex scenes. Horror mayhem and anarchy. Story so deep and Thrilling worth it if you overlook the violence and bloodshed.Loved the heart rending love story.

Amazing series, this was a journey I was happy to wait for even with some harsh cliff hangers. Bernie is an amazing MC, do strong and deals with everything thrown at her with determination and passion. Some of the themes of this series can be hard to read at some points and could be triggering so be aware of that before reading, but everything this group goes through individually and collectively is amazing. The emotions and depth to each of the characters is breathtaking and this final chapter reveals some important key information that brings it all together. This will be definitely a re read series for me.

OK I have so many thoughts I'm trying to process.H.A.V.O.C. Hael, Aaron, Victor, Oscar, Callum. And of course, Bernadette. They are a force of nature in themselves. Dangerous, toxic, addictive... a sweet bitter kind of poison to one another that consumed me.There are many qualities I love about each character and I so appreciated the characteristics that separate them into their own person amongst the chaos. It should work and yet they do.They journey is a crazy toxic turbulent one that will suck the life out of you draining you dry. It's all consuming with so much passion it's honestly overwhelming at times but it fits these characters and their journey.I will say I feel like 5 books pushed it. This could have been 3 perfect books, the foundation of who they are, the crazy in the middle and then the conclusion to their journey. I feel if I'm being honest that it was stretched and I found myself skimming pages of internal monologue... something I NEVER DO. But it was to much. To many fillers, to much unnecessary drama that watered them down. It was frustrating.These characters are golden and I enjoyed them and their journey even though I was frustrated by it being stretched. There is growth and development of the characters. The story does progress and evolve into so much more than I anticipated and honestly fair play to the author for managing to incorporate so many things into the journey that added suspense, action and so many feelings. She did it well.All in all I'm happy with the ending and enjoyed the many epilogue at the end. It was a treat for sure. I can't say it's my favourite read ever but HAVOC left an impression that I will never forget and I don't regret reading them one bit. My only wish was that it wasn't so dragged out.

I was sceptical of trying out the Havoc series l, but honestly, I can’t help but be annoyed at how wrong I was!This whole series has been an amazing journey of violence, humour, sex and growth. Each character shares in the spotlight so that you don’t feel like you’re left wanting for more perspectives or that it’s too heavy on certain characters.Stunich wields the English language like a sword, sharp and complicated....explaining things in a beautifully detailed and complex way that helps you really connect with it all, really feel like your living through the details with her - that is a great feat for an author, and I can honestly say that I cannot recommend this book and series enough!Take a chance on these books, you won’t be disappointed:)

Is it really over? I'm at a loss....I really loved the HAVOC guys and of course Bernie and I'm not ready to leave these guys! I want more!!I genuinely loved the whole series and I'm glad they got the HEA they deserved.I have to be honest though, I kind of wanted to hear more from the guys POV especially towards the end, but all we got was Aaron's. It would have been really good to hear Victor or Oscar's perspective and feelings as to me those two are the most closed off emotionally and there was a lot of emotion in those last couple of chapters! I also feel like the many epilogues were a bit of a waste, it would have been nice to have one many years in the future, with kids etc to really see what there life is like but the epilogues we got didn't add anything in my opinion which was a shame.Overall this is a series I have loved And I know these characters are going to be on my mind for some time, Hael, Aaron, Vic, Oscar, Callum and of course Bernie!!If you are still thinking about characters and a story long after youve finished the book then you know you've read an amazing book and that's why this gets 5 stars for me....because I'm still thinking about these characters!! Blown away And highly recommend! I can't wait to read more from this author.

god I love cm stunich, haven’t read a single bad book from her so far and she has done it again with the havoc boys seriesVery well done

CM Stunich you are one of the most amazing writers and I cannot stop reading your books! I absolutely loved this story and I had to read every book because I just had to! I love how strong your characters are and I have a special place in my heart for this story because there was so much tragedy with a beautiful ending that I was hoping for. All I can say is Well Done!

I have to say I had mixed feelings about this book, especially after sitting on my thoughts for a few days and my 5 stars is for the series as a whole, not for this book alone, honestly I'm not sure how I would rate this book alone.While I was sad to see their story come to an end, I still loved this dynamic group of unique characters. Their loyalty and bonds within the group are breathtaking. I was glad we got closure on all of the bigger issues. My favorite part that had me absolutely glued to my kindle was graduation day, those scenes had me holding my breath more than once (and it is also when Stunich's amazing writing style really shined because it focused on the actual story and characters).I have to say I had mixed feelings about this book. I did love the actual story, but there were some issues that were hard to overlook. The actual story unfortunately gets lost among the unnecessary political/social commentary in this book. This is in no way bashing the author, it is just my thoughts on how I felt while reading and some insight to help other readers be prepared.I am not affiliated with either political party and think that everyone is entitled to their opinions as long as they can still be respectful to those with differing opinions.Unfortunately some of the statements made in this book seemed to encourage the hate/disrespect that is plaguing the USA and that definitely affected my enjoyment while reading.Yes these things popped up in the previous books, but they didn't feel so "in your face" and flowed with the story. They actually added depth to the story in previous books. This time it felt like most of these things were just thrown in to make her political views known. I actually agree with most of these things, but it just seemed to have no real purpose by bringing them up in the book and took away from the actual storyline and characters.I also understand Bernie's thoughts on classism, but she repetitively talked about it and I started getting irritated with her for constantly bringing up the same thing so often.The repetitive focus on classism, political agendas, etc. really took away from the story/characters and did not actually add anything to the story. I did find myself skimming more of this book than the previous ones because of the repetitive parts that slowed the story down for me. When the story was actually moving forward and things weren't so focused on making political or social statements it was an amazing read.There was also a huge letdown with the big deaths in the book.... so much buildup through out the series only to have their final ends to be glossed over quickly. The epilogue typically adds a new dimension to a story, but the multiple epilogues in this one really did not add to the story (the characters just got older).I do recommend this series, but just be aware that this last book has a heavy focus on political/social views and so go in aware of this.

Magnifique series <3Unee écriture parfaite, une histoire sombre et de l'amour quoi demander de plus. Je vous la conseille vivement!!!!

This review includes my opinion on all five books in this series! I didn't write them after finishing each book because, well, I couldn't wait to read the next one 😂 I actually couldn't stop reading at all. This was my absolutely longest reverse harem story, I could imagine the story to be a little shorter, at times it felt unnecessary long (I'm more of a fast pace romance kind of girl) but to be honest I enjoyed it nonetheless 🙈It was genial, absolutely genial. Each chapter brought the reader nearer to the whole picture... to the understanding and falling in love with each boy, with all of them.It was brutal, raw, unthinkable even, but felt real. At least some of it must have been speaking from experience, I can't help this feeling. It was also very beautiful, full of love, passion and compassion, some sence of right and law. I can't wait to read another book by C.M.Stunich! Thank you!I only wish there ware already all the audiobooks ready (at the time of my reading there were only the first two - and they were absolutely perfect!)
