Reckless Hate by Thandiwe Mpofu
5.0

Thandiwe Mpofu is a new to me author, but after reading this blurb (which I rarely do) I was intrigued and I wanted to know more, I wanted to discover these characters.

Astraea and Alex (Ace) have any interesting relationship. He bully’s her in public, but in private there is something else there. That is until one night everything changes and Astraea leaves without a single word. The chemistry between Astraea and Alex is sizzling, their love/hate relationship is addicting. Their history completely sucks you in. It leaves you wanting more of them. It’s not just Astraea and Alex, but the rest of the blue boys (Noah and Emmett) and Kim. Every single character is fantastic. I’m totally loving Noah, even though he is just a secondary character. He is a cocky one, a heartbreaker, but also caring and sweet. They add to the story. They all of a connection of some sort, they are all addicting.

This book is a YA, dark, bully romance with plenty of drama, mystery, suspense and some steaminess. Compared to other books in this genre this one is different. There is so much depth to the story and to the characters. It is full of twists and turns as answers are discovered and more questions come up.

I CANNOT wait for the next book in these series, especially after the crazy ending of this one. I need more of Astraea, Alex, Noah and Emmett in my life!
