Luckily, I’ve been blessed from birth with lightning quick reflexes and easy strength.

If my being alive is what makes her happy, being alive is how I’ll remain. Bernadette will find out that I’ve died at the school, bleeding from a second smile on my throat. If that happens, I won’t be getting out of this. You’re keeping me from finding my Bernadette, the monster hisses as the man behind me-likely some sort of enforcer for the Grand Murder Party-attempts to throw me over his back. On the inside, I’m nothing more than a broken doll with an obsession.

What do I have to compete? A grandmother who raised me well, despite the fact that she’s a killer herself? A beautiful dream stolen by jealous and violent hands?īut, regardless, my hoodie might as well be death’s cloak. Oscar has a past steeped in pain and desperation, memories of a dead mother’s arms and a shallow grave. The feel of someone touching my throat now triggers all of the darkness I keep so carefully coiled inside of me. Instead, all I can remember is the feel of the cool metal against my neck, and then the horrid sensation of a baseball bat connecting with my left knee. The day I lost my dreams forever, a boy from Fuller High-the boyfriend of my dance partner-used a chain to garotte me from behind. What this man doesn’t know is that I’ve been garroted before. If I were anyone else-even Oscar or Victor-I might be dead. My attacker turns to the right and twists the wires against my neck, cutting off my air supply and spilling ruby red down the front of me.

I would laugh, if I were able to breathe with the sharp metal sting of piano wire digging into my throat. He got the jump on me that isn’t easy to do. The man with the garrote wrapped around my neck is a clever animal. This no mare’s nest, okay? This is a good thing.Ĭry some motherfucking ‘Havoc!’ and let slip the dogs of war! Thank you again for joining me on Bernadette’s journey. The first book is I Was Born Ruined, and the story is very similar to Havoc in tone, grittiness, and characterization. Next up, I’ll be writing the final two books in my Death by Daybreak Motorcycle Club series. If you haven’t tried any of my other high school romance series-Rich Boys of Burberry Prep, Devils’ Day Party, or Adamson All-Boys Academy-then I highly recommend checking them out.

This story needed to be told, and I’ll be forever proud that I was allowed to share it with you. These characters found me while I was in the shower, so compelling that I had to hop out and grab my phone, just so I could write it down and keep it close. And Bernadette? Well shit, she will always be one of my favorite leading ladies. The Havoc Boys might be dicks, but they have most definitely found a permanent place in my heart. For better or worse, you’ll get to see them have the ending they were always meant to have. Victory at Prescott High is the final book in the Havoc Boys series.
