Want something? Pax will take it from you.
Love something? Pax will destroy it.
Love him? Heaven help you. You’d have to be the stupidest person to walk the face of the earth.
PAX
I don’t do complicated. I sure as hell don’t do love. With graduation in sight, I’ve made it almost four years at Wolf Hall without getting tangled up in BS with girls.
I especially want nothing to do with her:
Presley. Maria. Witton. Chase.
The timid little mouse with the red hair, who can’t even look my way without hyperventilating. She’s nothing to me. Beautiful, sure, but I’ve had plenty of beautiful women.
I’m perfectly content ignoring her…
…until her life is suddenly in my hands.
PRES
I’ve loved him from the moment I laid eyes on him.
The cruel, inked anarchist of Riot House.
He’s wicked, and he’s cold, and there’s nothing good left in him.
I fear him almost as much as I crave him.
With only a few weeks left until graduation, all I have to do is keep my head down, and then I’ll be free; I can leave Mountain Lakes and my obsession with Pax Davis in my rearview mirror.
But the demons I’ve been hiding for years now are growing restless…
…and Pax is thing that will keep them at bay.
This is not an act of kindness.
Not an act of love.
Not an act of forgiveness.
You'll find no redemption here.
This is the final riot.
ACT ACCORDINGLY.
Review
6* read.
This is book 3 in the Crooked Sinners series but can be read as a standalone, although if you do read it as a standalone I can guarantee you'll want to go back and read the other two books.
This is defiantly my favourite series by this author, and Pax's story is now my favourite book by this author. I'm gutted this series is over but this was defiantly save the best till last.
From the first few chapters I knew I was going to be in for a rollercoaster of a ride with Pax and Pres. The depth that this author wrote these characters to was unlike the first two books. In the first two there was more of an outer story to go with the book (etc it wasn't just based on the two main characters). In this one it was just purely Pax and Pres's story and I loved it. You got to see in the minds of these broken yet held together characters (if that makes sense) and go on this pure emotional journey with them and boy did I feel every emotion.
I devoured every last page. You feel every bit of raw pain that they do. This story packs no punches so be prepared to go on their angsty story with them and feel every emotion they do.
