- KatherineMS Review of RecklessReckless was SO GOOD I didn’t even realize I was reading for like three straight hours. This book picks up right after the cliffhanger in Powerless, and it wastes zero time getting dramatic, stressful, and totally addictive.
The characters make some seriously questionable decisions (like… guys, please think things through), but that’s what makes it fun. There’s action, danger, romance, secrets, and plot twists that made me stop and stare at the wall like I was buffering.
I really liked how the friendships in this book get stronger and the stakes get way higher. There were moments where I actually said “NO WAY” out loud and my mom thought something was wrong. The whole world of the story feels bigger and more intense, and you get to see which characters you can trust… and which ones are basically walking red flags.
If you read Powerless and thought, “Wow, I need more of this chaos,” then Reckless delivers.
10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves:
• fast-paced adventure
• complicated friendships
• a little bit of romance
• cliffhangers that personally attack you
Now I just need book three because this ending was RUDE. - Lauralibby88A worthy sequelThis book was nearly as powerful and intense as the first book. All of your favorite characters grappling with everything that happened in the previous book. It felt like the first book in many ways while still being its own story and moving the story of Payden, Kai and Kitt forward. Great ending reveal. It was intriguing to try and figure out how we’d get to a third book with these great characters, and I think the author does a great job of ending it in a way that’s surprising, interesting and making you want to continue to read this story.
- RubenThe best book everThis is literally the best book I’ve ever had the story is good so recommended also with the whole trilogy set love the plot twist to all books
- OnlyonequestionI cant decide if I like it or notSo I hated this book because there is no plot line and the writing is so so repetitive. Like we get it, theyre so down bad for each other but its wrong for them to be together so they pretend. I hope to never read that word again haha. the first book was really good. I loved the writing and the tension and the plot. I see a lot of people hating on having kai's perspective included, but that made it so much better. he was written super well. the second book was kinda disappointing, and then they randomly kissed each other (it seems out of place in that sentence but thats how it was in the book too). plus kitt is so unhinged which is fine but if I were a brother I would not be out here stealing my brother's girl whether or not I was literally insane from grief and betrayal. I haven't really read any fanfics but this was kinda like one, just missing jackson wang lol. The addition of ava was super unnecessary and it felt super awkard. I hated how the same words kept on being repeated. I think everyone should know by now that paedyn thinks kai is insufferable.
ANYWAYS besides all that I enjoyed kitt's character development, I honestly feel so bad for him because he doesnt deserve what he has coming to him. I don’t want him to be the villain but I think it will make the third book worth reading just for the plotline. Paedyn's dad's journal was literally the key the non existent plotline. it was such a good detail to add. there were some cute scenes, i just got tired of seeing them repeated. I loved how paedyn just kept on trying to escape, I found it really funny. it was great how both characters were able to overcome challenges and grow together.
ive heard people say this series is basically a copy of other ones, but I havent read them so I don’t really care about that. the first book was just so good and reckless was kind of a let down after all that, but I will still read the third book. powerful was also really good. I actually cried because you start reading it knowing it wont end happily, but it was written really well. I wanted makoto to appear in reckless, I think that would have been better than randomly throwing ava and abigail in.
overall, many mixed feelings about this book. something just doesnt sit right with me about it. of course, its not like the author can change the book now, but I needed to rant after what ive been through. still don’t know if I hate it or like it.
