… he walked a tightrope five stories up just to hold my hand. 

 

Gaze:

I moved into the building next to Pixie when I was eleven. She blew bubbles through my window. I shot my Nerf gun through hers. We both had secrets, but one of us was fated to get hurt. I wanted it to be me. 

 

Pixie:

When I was afraid of the dark, he would shine a light in my window. We shared our popsicles and I taught him how to get a good swing on the playground. I never imagined I’d have to decide who got to live and who didn’t. I chose him --and he could never know.

 

She walked a tightrope five stories up just to save my life…

Havoc - Debra Anastasia This book was completely unexpected. And not in a bad way. I had read Mercy and had expectations for this force of a man we were introduced to. What the reader gets is more action packed suspense than I ever expected.

The reader is introduced to the hard life of foster living and yearning for some semblance of family from the lead characters. You hope their lives turn to the positive. And for them they do, in only a way people on the fringe can. However, as their lives take a darker turn living on the edge, the risks increase. But what about the romance?

It is subtle. Not the long distance yearning we found in Mercy. This is a painful look of unrequited love and how a wake up call can make you relook at your life. It's a wide ride. Full of drama packed action. If you love dark, gritty characters with a heroine who kicks EVERYONES ass, don't pass by having some Havoc in your TBR.

I think this was a really awesome idea. I have read and loved several of these authors before. I was really looking forward to their group creation. FEA is mostly suppose to be a comedy I think. It also has romance and erotic in the mix. I was unable to find it funny or sexy. Sadly, it did not work for me. I do think it's just me because everyone else is loving it. You should check it out for yourself. There was a scene where he left notes and she's searching through his room finding them that I thought was pretty cute. :)

***copy given in exchange for an honest review***

I went into this book blind. I didn't read any reviews, and really just skimmed the blurb. I had no idea what I was getting into, so imagine my surprise when I was blown away by how good this sucker was...



A year ago Savvy (love that name) lost her husband and child in an accident. Over the past year she hasn't been able to move on, and has tried to kill herself on a couple of occasions. I was expecting some sort of "revenge" plot, what I wasn't expecting was a BADASS superhero vigilante. But OH was it awesome.



This book was so well written. It had SO many feels. It kept me turning the pages. I adored Savvy, she was badass, but she ripped my heart out. Silas, oh Silas..he was such a bad man, but I loved him through the whole book. His growth as a character was the highlight of this book for me to be honest. Every character in this book was engaging, and I hated to see it end. End it did though and left me bawling like a baby. I'm hopeful we'll get another book with Boston as the hero...fingers crossed.



Do yourselves a favor and pick this one up to read soon.

Savvy was an average wife and mother until an accident changed her completely. The reader witnesses the aftermath and evolution from Savvy to The Revenger. I really got into it. I felt the pain and excitement. The author did an excellent job of making me empathize with everyone. Lines between good and bad become blurred. The plot is full of action, sweetness and sadness. There's never a dull moment.

I love that this author is able to change up and write different genres. Some label The Revenger as dark paranormal. I personally would not label this as dark. To me it seems like an old school superhero story, the kind where a hero is born from great suffering. If you like Marvel, DC and such, you should definitely check it out. If you're looking for something different, this is it.
