Brutal Days (Hidden Valley Elite Book 3) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Mandy Ott

Brutal Days: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isla Vaughn delivers the same great world building and character development as the earlier books in The Hidden Valley Elite Series. While I don’t think the first two books are necessary to read in order to understand this 3rd installment, I think they do help in developing the characters. Brutal Days has the same ups and downs as the first two books but a lot less life-or-death dramatics. I felt like this book was less rushed than the other books as well. But, thanks to great writing by Isla Vaughn, I was able to feel the depth of emotions just the same. There is so much cheekiness on Skylar’s end and so much unease masked by cockiness on Damon’s end, but together, there is so much raw connection between them. I can’t wait to read the next book to find out what happens between these two!
