Maggie Hall's Reviews > Vendetta

This book was so much fun. And I feel kind of strange saying that, because it’s actually kind of dark…let me try to explain.

Sophie is your average teenager, with her one close friend and her crappy summer job—and her beloved dad in jail for something that has made Sophie an outcast in her small town. But Sophie doesn’t spend her time feeling sorry for herself. She’s funny, and snarky, and most of the time smart, but sometimes does some dumb things because she thinks they’re the right thing to do—in short, she’s a real, interesting teenage girl. I also loved her best friend Millie—it’s so fun to read a friendship where the friends are actually good friends to each other. As much drama as there was in this book, none of it was “frenemy” stuff—Millie is Sophie’s rock, and I loved that.

And then.

Sophie discovers a hot boy who’d just moved to town. New hot boy in the neighborhood? Yes please. But wait. There’s more. There isn’t just one new hot boy. There are FIVE new hot BROTHERS. Um, yes please. Sign me up now. I don’t care that they all appear to be bad news. Nope, don’t care at all.

There are so many twists in this book I don’t feel like I can say much more without being spoilery, but suffice it to say I was NOT disappointed. I meant to read a few pages before bed and ended up reading for hours because I had. To. Know. What. Happened. (And okay, yes, I HAD to see when Sophie kissed…somebody. ;) I know, tease! I’m sorry!)

In short, this is a perfect read for somebody looking for a great YA contemp with swoony, sexy (dangerous, mysterious) romance and a dark, gritty twist.

Book 2 NOW please!
