Book Review- Fall Boys (Hellbent #1) by Penelope Douglas

FALL BOYS IS OUT NOW!

𝑨𝑹𝑶

Hawken Trent. So polite. So sweet. Such an upstanding young man. 

A virgin, too, I hear. He never gets naughty with a girl. Probably because Jesus told him not to. 

And now here he is, trying to be the hero by protecting another girl from me. 

He calls me a bully. 𝘐𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭. 𝘜𝘯𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. 𝘈 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭. He can call me anything he wants, I’ve heard worse. 

And he can try to stand between me and my money, but he’s never had to fight for food. That rich, clean, school boy doesn’t have what it takes. 

 

𝑯𝑨𝑾𝑲𝑬

I surprised her. You should’ve seen her face.

That is until I realize I 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵’𝘷𝘦 actually gone too far this time. 

She’s there. I’m there. The scene of the crime. 

It’s dark. The police show up. 

We have no choice. We run. Down High Street, into Quinn’s bake shop, and I pull her through the entrance to the old speakeasy that everyone forgot was here decades ago.

The door locks, the cops circle the building, never knowing we’re right here, and I’m hidden in plain sight, indefinitely, with someone who's awful. 

𝘔𝘦𝘢𝘯. 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. 𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘺. 

A thief. A delinquent. 

Until one night, lost in all of these rooms together, I don’t see any of those things anymore. 

She’s smart. Daring. Soft. 

Hot...

Everything’s changing. It’s this place. It does something to people. 

We have a silly urban legend in Shelburne Falls about mirrors. They’re a gateway. Don’t lean back into them. 

But we came through front first. 

I don’t care what the county records say. This was never a speakeasy. 

It’s Carnival Tower.

My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm so happy to be back in Shelburne Falls! 

Fall Boys (Hellbent #1) is a spin-off of the Fall Away series from Penelope Douglas! I've been so excited to get this next generation. Hawke and Aro quickly became a favorite and I didn't want their story to end! I'm so ready for where this series will take us, cause I know it'll be epic! 

The mystery, the rivalry, the nostalgia, Fall Boys has it all! Hawke and Aro are such opposites, but together make for the perfect book couple! I loved the back and forth, the heat, the rivalry, the intense connection between these two, all make this book so addicting. 

Every story Penelope Douglas writes, pulls me in and makes me never want to leave the world given to us. I'm hooked on this new series, and SO excited for the next book! I'm counting down the days till I can be back in Shelbunre Falls with this new generation and the group that started my love for Penelope's books!
