⭐️ 5 "Family Runs Deeper Than Blood" Stars ⭐️
Trouble at Brayshaw High was such an intense read that all my thoughts are chaotic and I don’t know where to start with this review! After the way Boys of Brayshaw High concluded, I needed answers! The wait for this second novel was difficult, but so worth it! I loved everything about this story! Meagan Brandy put the drama to new heights with multitude of jaw-dropping revelations only making this read unputdownable.

"Honest loyalty doesn't need to be seen or stated. It's just as powerful if not more so when given in silence."

Raven is still the same badass heroine. I admire her courage and sometimes recklessness. She would do anything to protect Maddoc, Royce and Captain. She plays hand in hand with the enemy, but what she doesn’t know is that the powerful bond she forged with her boys makes her predictable. They suspect that her betrayal isn’t all what it seems. There’s a lot of push and pull between Rae and Maddoc with every ploy possible to make each other jealous. While she plays the tough girl, she also has some vulnerable moments! She doesn’t like to show that sensible facet of her and fights it, but Maddoc and the guys see past her mask.

Maddoc! How can I resist this dominant and intense guy? The way he feels about Rae is so palpable. He’s a goner where she’s concern. His actions are filled with passion and a swoon-worthy possessiveness that got me every single time. She brings a caveman in him that I found particularly attractive. Yes, he’s pretty intense, but he can also be so sweet!

"He likes my crazy, and I want his madness. It's pretty fucking simple."

Rae and her big Man are hotter than ever in TABH, letting the tangible connection they share turning into an inferno of hotness. Their charged interactions turn into explosive intimate encounters, but also bursting with feelings. Their relationship is utterly beautiful!

While Raven and Maddoc are the main couple of this story, it doesn’t mean that Royce and Captain don’t play a central part in it. Each of the boys with their engaging personalities have a special connection to Rae. Maybe it’s not a romantic one, but their friendships are so profound and amazing. Royce is always there to crack some jokes and make her laugh, while Captain is the voice of reason, the level-headed one. They’re truly a family and it’s so gorgeous to see the support between the little group!

"We weren't ready for you, Raven Carver. We weren't fucking ready."

Trouble at Brayshaw High is another story with surprises exposed at every turn and making this read so thrilling. Meagan Brandy undoubtedly knows how to keep you glued to the pages of a book with the way she wrote this story. Another epic cliffhanger ended this novel, so needless to say I need book three ASAP.
