Sick Boys Series, Book 2

By: Lucy Smoke

Narrated by: J.F. Harding, Elizabeth Russell

Length: 12 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

Rule No. 2: Show no fear.

They're vile and twisted.

The only thing more f--ked up than the Sick Boys is me, and I'm ready to show them.

The Sick Boys are hiding something from me. They want to pretend like I didn't kill my rapist and they didn't help. But we're not ordinary college students, that much has become clear to me, and I'm growing tired of all of the lies and secrets.

Their masks are cracking, and, finally, I'm starting to see the grotesque reality underneath. It's far darker than I ever expected, and it's not enough. They know everything about me, so now it's my turn. I fear nothing. Not them. Not the man that I killed or the people who set me up.

Fear is for the weak, and I, Avalon Manning, am anything but.

Contains mature themes.

wow!

I can not wait to purchase the other books! This series has me hooked! Just wow great story

Take a chance

I was hesitant to purchase given length of novel & new to me author but both in the series thus far are FANTASTIC! The storyline is not one I’ve heard and it is dark, hot, and suspenseful. JF Harding is a top choice narrator for me but both nailed their characters. Looking forward to more :)

The best series ever !

I didn’t think anything could be better than reading about the sick boys, but listening to it on Audible was it even better

So Addictive!

This is such an addictive series and it’s never a dull moment. Avalon has had a crappy life and has gotten even worse at the end of book 1. It must be so exhausting having that much anger and hate inside you. Never being able to trust anyone, always on guard. I like how the characters are evolving though and I know the drama is just going to get more intense. The narration is amazing, love JF Harding, such a sexy voice.

Enjoyable listen~

Ava is a badass, and her relationship with all the boys is getting stronger which I love. She’s officially a Sick girl haha. This book is violent like the first one, so if you don’t like violence I’d steer clear. I feel like Ava has been a little naïve, like we can see Corina is up to something, but Ava couldn’t see through her bs. I feel like Ava doesn’t ask enough questions. Like why does Corina want to be my friend? The other thing that bothered me in this book is that she confronts Rylie twice about her keeping and eye on her, the first time she’s all cool about it, but then the second time she wants to kill her for it. But like Rylie was just watching her for the boys, and the boys obviously want what’s best for her. Like no harm came from Rylie watching Ava. It’s annoying. I know Ava has trust issues, but like Rylie just had her back and was keeping her safe. I wish Ava was a little more open minded and trusting of her real friends. I hope she loosens up in the next few books, and that Dean and her become more lovey dovey~

Still intense

Crazy, intense story. At times it was a little slow and repetitive, even a little predictable, but overall I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to the next one. Good performances.

Great series so far

But really could have put all 3 books into ONE BOOK! So much unnecessary stuff that prolongs each book.
Good reads but excessively slow and not nearly as dark as I was expecting.

Yes Queen!!!

Loved it. Wish audio 3 & 4 were already out!! Duel narrative was spot on and kept me engaged. Definitely worth the credit!!

Still has me captivated

I have never looked more forward to reading the third book in a series about the SAME character. The author has a way of just keeping me interested. Usually I would be bored half way into the second book. I am soooo not disappointed to be purchasing the third book in this series to see what happened to Patricia the mother and see Corinne get JUST what she deserves.

keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Um wow…

This isn’t for the faint of heart. The characters are intriguing and the story is detailed and mostly well written, but man… check the trigger warnings because the description of some of the hard stuff was… well hard to take. Not sure how Avalon avoid violence from her guy when they are so surrounded by it… but yeah I was anxious to get to the third book so Ms. Smoke is doing something right. But man it’s this was definitely hard to take in parts of it.
