🖤A Fun, Gorgeous NA Romance!!🖤
A cross between Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller with way better romance!!
It's pretty well known I don't read much NA Romance, but that didn't stop me from cracking open Brynne Asher's brand new Next Generation follow up to her Killers series Levi, and I'm SO glad I gave it a chance!!
Levi is Asa Hollingsworth's son from Brynne's Killer's Book Hifts, and it a gorgeous reunification of the characters that starts before Gifts, continues during, and follows after, and I loved getting to see it from Levi and Carissa Collins point of view.
Levi is the epitome of his father - broody, handsome, and it seems far too serious for a high school senior with the whole world in the palm of his hand. But Levi has reasons for the way he is, and the book does a really good deep dive to show what we hadn't seen before (so if you haven't read GIFTS yet, you're ok starting at Levi!) When he gets stuck with his new tutoring student, and she suggest some things that are not within the guidelines he's ready to throw the whole study period out, except he still needs the hours for his volunteer time!
Carissa Collins is new to the Commonwealth, and definitely doesnt want to be there. She's just shy of failing several classes when back in Arizona she was getting ready to graduate a semester early. The last thing she wants, or NEEDS, is a chemistry tutor when she has to be at her brothers back for everything. After all, no one else is helping Cade and if she's not helping take care of him her crazy grandmother definitely won't do things right!
When Carissa finds out Levi is her new tutor all she can think about is the embarrassment of him, or anyone else in school, knowing she's failing - and what color his eyes might really be. After all the grumpy upper classman just sort of floats through the hallways as though he's untouchable, and maybe invisible.
When Carissa and Cade start really trying to find out where their mother has disappeared to, and why no one will tell them, Levi has already found himself way more interested in Carissa than he should be. He has a plan, stick to the plan - grades, lacrosse, graduate, get the eff out! But by then it's not just Levi anymore.
The Homies - Jack, Mason, Cade, Carissa - and when he's not ignoring everyone except Carissa - Levi, are hilarious!!
"He shakes his head. “If I skip class, they’ll call my dad, my mom, every emergency contact on the list, and probably my dog—if I had one. I’m not stupid. I’ll get Jack to call in to excuse me. He’s basically a professional.”
There are so many situations they find themselves in that most teens would bobble, but Levi always has a calm and competent answer. And if he doesn't Cade is hot on his heels with a computer to break into, it's a rollicking good time!
The elements of romantic suspense were enough to keep me breathing hard, and making sure I didn't miss a single word from Ch 28 on! Between the Hollingsworths and the Collins family there's enough drama to warrant their own Oscar, and some of it is downright scary. I was so glad things with the grandmother turned the right way, because Carissa and Cade absolutely had to have someone besides The Homies and The Killers in their corner!!
Five out of Five stars for Levi!! Brynne Asher's love for Carissa and Levi comes storming across the page, and this book is so much fun it's easy to forget that I don't always love NA Romance and this is one everyone will definitely enjoy!!
