{Review} Five by J.A. Huss

Title: Five
Series: Mister #0.5
Author: J.A. Huss
Publication Date: September 19, 2017
Genre: New Adult Romantic Suspense

Fifty million books ago I promised you a love story about Five and his Princess. This is their story.

Five Aston has known Rory Shrike for as long as he can remember. He played with her in the sandbox. He went to every damn horse show just to be supportive. He helped her with her French, walked her home from school, and faked his test scores just to stay with her a little longer and not be sent off to college early.

But eventually he had to move on.

And so did she.

Never has a second chance meant so much to a boy who loves a girl.

A standalone book that is also a spin-off of the Rook & Ronin Series and prequel to the Mister Series. You can read it first, you can read it last. It doesn't really matter because it's f*cking Five.

What we liked

• Uhh...that we got more Five and Princess, duh!
• The J.A. Huss-style twists in this one will blow your mind. Literally. Hold on to your seats, it's going to get wild.
• Five and Princess sexy times. You know we're here for that. ;)
• Explosions.

What we didn't

• Let's start with the way it ended. And since it's spoilery, we'll leave it at that. We'll be eagerly waiting for Mr. & Mrs, Julie.
• Cults. Just sayin.
• Which brings us to the side characters. Their sexism and misogynistic views/comments.
• We didn't get to see much of our favorite first generation OG characters which bummed us out. Maybe they'll make appearances in Mr. & Mrs.?

The Guys

Fucking Five // If you've read some of the books he made appearances in, then you're probably familiar with him. If not, let me introduce you to Five. In Five, he will stimulate your mind as well as your...other parts (if you know what we mean), melt your panties right off, and make you want to smack the shit out of him. Sometimes all at once.

Cliff // I'm sorry I didn't trust you at first, Cliff -- You turned out to be a really swell guy. All I have left to say is WHY JULIE WHY!?

Ford // Wish we saw more of him, but the brief time he popped in was still exciting.

Oliver Shrike // He's a 12 year old little shit in this book, but with a big heart and good intentions. He's a force to be reckoned with when he gets older, as proven in Mr. Match.

The Badass Ladies

Princess Rory Shrike // The lady of the night (book) and in Five's life. And heart. And bed. She's definitely got her mama's bombshell in her.

Kate Aston // Already confirmed badass older sister to Five, and Rory's ride-or-die.

Sparrow // She can hold down the whole fort (or theater) on her own, and still have energy to give people shit with blunt, unashamed honesty, and witty comebacks.

Lust factor
