Devastate (Havoc Series, Book 5)
*** ARC received in exchange for an honest review *** After reading Grim/Haven, and Glove/Mandy's stories I could not wait to get my hands on Lordy and Jaz's story! And it did not disappoint. I loved this book, I couldn't put it down. You will find yourself laughing, teary eyed, and on the edge of your seat wanting to see what is going to happen next while reading this book. Lordy and Jaz are amazing characters and I really enjoyed reading about their story. I highly recommend this book and mostly the whole Havoc Series! All the books are amazing, and I really hope we get to hear some more fro

Complex and Utterly Addictive Book
I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I found this book to be emotionally charged from start to finish. Having read other books in this series, I already believed that I knew Lordy, but I had no idea how complicated and absolutely adorable he was at the same time. Without spoiling anything, I'll say that what he endures is both harrowing and heart breaking. From beginning to end this is a wonderful book, full of depth, despair, love, and laughter.

A Must Read
First I thought this started out a little slower then the rest. After reading more into it picked up and I totally understood why. Of course I couldn't put this down once I started reading. I was totally surprised with Lordy's background. I love how much the team works together and acts like family. I had a feeling that mission they went on was going to be a bust and they were going to figure out what was going on. I am not surprised that the team worked together and more at the end. I am also happy that Lordy punched his brother as he totally deserved. I cracked up laughing when Jazz showed u

Amazing Read- Devastated that it Ended!
Okay, so I love this series, and I was sad to see it end, but what a way to go. We have waited a long time for Lordy and Jazz to get their story told, and here it is in all its gloriousness! I laughed and then I cried, and then I wanted to hit Jazz and Lordy for being so stubborn, but half of that is why we love them. If you haven't read this series I would start from the beginning so you get the most out of it, but any book by Xavier Neal is one that you will be on the edge of your seat and unable to put it down, even if you have to work and be up in a few hours!

The Best Book Xavier Has Ever Written!
This book was amazing!! Xavier took us on the journey of a young man learning blood matching blood doesn't mean family and just because you don't have the same blood doesn't mean you can't be family. Jody "Lordy" Lord is my favorite Xavier character and his book just made me fall more in love with him. This book made me happy, sad, mad, worried, frustrated, and a million other emotions that I can't find the words for (I guess that's why I'm not an author). I didn't want to see the end come because I know this means the end of the Havoc series but I was so glad Xavier gave us a glimpse into the
