Brutal Fighter by Heather Long

5.0

Oh my broken heart. Heather absolutely destroyed this book in the best (heartbreaking) way. This is the 5th time we get Emersyn and the gang. And it honestly may be my favorite yet. I seriously say that every time but this book. Maybe I was feeling extra emotional but this book was beautifully tragic. Before I get into it without spoilers, Emersyn is seriously so strong and determined. It just hurts my heart while she works through trauma. But I’m so glad she is. This book, these guys, their problem. We’re slowly unraveling issues and piecing them to together. As we gradually get a better understanding of everyone’s story, we get answers and of course, more questions. Emersyn gets the MVP trophy for this book. She is the definition of resilient. Her trauma and pain have defined her and with the help of the guys she’s slowly recovering and I am here for it. I love the support they give her. I’m still processing the ending. I’m not sure if I should say WTF HEATHER or WTF JANE! But honestly the ending makes me depressed and throw a little hissy fit bc we have to wait for the next book. If you have not started the vandals series. START NOW. This may be my absolute favorite book from heather so far. It just has captured my heart and pulled on all the strings.
