Very Bad Things (Briarwood Academy #1)

I am uncertain of my opinion of this book. I would describe this as a survivors story for young adults perhaps.This story dealt with a high school senior who is 18 …. from a wealthy successful family …. but held dark secrets. WARNING: This deals with incest/rape/mental abuse. Those difficult subjects were approached in a way I think would an inspiration to young people. HOWEVER, her attraction to an slightly older (24) year old male and his attraction to her was drawn out far too long ….. add that to the problems she faces with bullying at school, parents who are absent or mentally abusive …. her half-brothers rape and taunting …. the girl friend of her would be love interest being brutal ….. other girls in high school jealous of their boy friends apparent attraction to her, yet another rape attempt ….. you get way too much drama overload which is why I knocked it down to 3 stars. She does get her HEA ….but it was a long drawn out process. The performance by Emily Durante and Sean Chriden is stellar as usual (I still don\’t care for Chriden\’s female voice). I used a credit for this book …. but recommend waiting for a sale.

Nora is so awesome. The storyline was amazing the characters. I wish mila would get a story. I know Cuba is next I wish that had a audible I loved reading that one too. Little x rated at some parts but I just skipped . The strength and journey of this story just blew me away. Love her tattoo too Awesome love story

I enjoyed the story even though it was a bit repetitive with the anguish each character felt. The female narrator was great with her voice inflections but listening to the male narrator was like fingernails on a chalkboard. I almost didn\’t finish.

Great book Great narration Great story lines as well Would recommend it to my friends

This was an awesome book!!! I love these types of books. A little push and pull with some pain makes any book stick with me. We all have our demons, hard times and the little sweet times in between can be eaten up by the demons. This book shows that but in the end love will prevail!!!
