Victory at Prescott High (The Havoc Boys Book 5) Kindle Edition

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.

If you like dark, bully, suspenseful RH, this story is for you. It is a fantastic read about Bernadette (Bernie) and her 5 boys. HAVOC (Hael, Aaron, Victor, Oscar and Callum) not only do they reign their school but be careful if you ever decide to say the one word that will guarantee they will own you. When Bernie calls out HAVOC, not only does she make a pact with the boys who have for the last year bullied her relentlessly but, she also starts the path of being the only girl in HAVOC, the queen of Prescott but ultimately the queen of their hearts. These kids/YA go through so much trauma in their life, it hardened each and every one of them into becoming ruthless and dark. I could continue to go on but you have to immerse yourself in this world, you won’t regret it. HEA guaranteed.

I really enjoyed this series. There was a lot of action in it. The sex was decent. I would have liked to have seen more group encounters. Especially since different combinations was something Bernie thought about. The characters did have well developed back stories. They were far too grown up to be high school children.

What a great end to Havoc and Bernadette. I loved all of C.M. Stunich’s characters. I felt real connection and a strong plot. This dark romance also had just enough steam. My favorite Havoc boy was Callum because he was a graceful bada** and could be found crouching in the shadows.

As sad as I am to have this series come to an end, I’m equally as happy for Bernie and the Havoc men. They get their HEA, but of course, not at all without some bloodshed, sex, and violence. The loose ends are tied, issues all exposed, love continually shown and we finally get the conclusion to this story. Havoc is truly a family, at the root of it all, that’s the only thing that’s important.Once you think you know how things are going to turn out, you go down another twist and turn, and what you think you know, goes right out the window. This is a twisted story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, keeping you hooked and reading until you’re finished and want to ride the rollercoaster all over again. The boys are dark, dangerous, delicious, vicious and violent, and at the heart of them all, is Bernie. Bernie is one FMC I love and adore. She’s strong, capable, a fighter in every sense of the word, uncompromising, violent & rough, and I want her to be my best friend. Bernie and her men are all so good and bad for each other in the best way. I love how their story has ended.This series has been my favorite CM Stunich series thus far. I am so obsessed and it’s been everything I hoped it would be and more. The books have progressively gotten better and better & Victory has been the best book out of this entire series. This is a series I will continually come back to and fall deeper in love with.If you haven’t started this series, start it now because you’re making a mistake if you don’t. I have nothing but great things to say about CM Stunich and the Havoc Boys series!

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

Dark and dangerous. Vic is one of the most jealous and possessive characters I’ve seen in a reverse harem but the author makes it work. She doesn’t rush the relationships and she really explores what makes these guys tick and how they can all form such a tightknit group. This is a gangster romance. No apologies. It’s action packed and full of alphas who have to be rock-hard, and a steely girl to grind her sharp edges against them. They don’t pretend to be the good guys and redemption doesn’t mean doing a 360 in morality. They own their dark world and change it to suit them.

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!)

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.
