Blurb:

Over a year ago, my only real friend allowed her boyfriend to come for me.I’d only played a joke on him, but I almost paid for it with my life.Broken bones healed, but our friendship was gone.Aurora Donovan was dead to me.My boyfriend Stevo is an abusive junkie, but I can’t leave.He’d kill me if I even thought about it.No one knows the danger I’m in, until Alex finds me beaten and bloody.I never expected him to become so important to me, which complicates things.His best friend is my ex-stepbrother who murdered my dad five years ago.I’ve avoided them both like the plague, refusing to let them close.Not that either of them seemed to get the memo.I’m spiralling, and I don’t even know myself any more.Everyone has a breaking point, but I never thought I’d be pushed to mine.I’m no better than the people I’ve spent years hating.Violence is never the answer, but I don’t have a choice.The Reapers of Chaos crew are one thing, but the Shadow Kings crew are another.I never thought I’d have to lean on the Psychos or Devil’s for help.My name’s Jade Winters, and I’ve been keeping secrets.But it turns out I’m not the only one

🖤🖤🖤REVIEW 🖤🖤🖤

We met Jade at the end of Rory's story, Ignite Me. Things didn't end on a good note and their newly found friendship went south quickly. Life was always a nightmare for her with endless cycles of violence, abuse, betrayal. It wasn't any different when she moved to town.

First off, wow! This one was really powerful, raw, emotional. I literally felt every emotion and I seriously couldn't put this down. This is the 5th book in the watch me burn series and can be read as a standalone. However,  for a better understanding and better experience, it's best start the series from the very beginning. I loved the huge character development. Jade really grew into her own and became a "Mini-Rory". Pretty scary thought, but necessary to make it in crew life. This was a story of survival, of overcoming abuse, and finding yourself and inner strength. This has to be my favorite one so far. Can't wait to read Lexi's story

I received an ARC and voluntarily gave my honest opinion
