Katie McGarry delivers a solid read with this second book in the series that gifts all the butterflies of first love as these two high school seniors one a member of the Reign of Terror Motorcycle Club and the other the middle child of nine and a genius fall in love.
Breanna and Razor’s story was well done, though a bit too much on the young side. The plot centers around the exchange of her help with a code surrounding his mother’s death and his help with her ...more

I liked, but didn't love the first book in this series, but because it's Katie, I knew I would continue reading.
I loved Breanna and Razor right from the beginning. They're so different, yet so alike, and I loved seeing Breanna grow stronger and Razor soften up a bit. Not to mention some very sweet and deliciously swoony parts. Oh, and Breanna's entire family deserves a junk punch. Seriously. They're all hateful people.
The motorcycle club aspect was definitely a part of the story, but it ...more

Is there truly anything that McGarry can't write? Each new book, each new story just seems to get better and better. And not only better but so much more memorable and she just knows how to hit you right in the feels and let me tell you, this book is all about the feels!
I liked Razor from book one but I wasn't quite sure if he would be able to win my heart over, but oh boy did Katie have me changing my mind about him and his gruff exterior. He truly was a surprise and such a wonderful c ...more

“The boy everyone sees but nobody knows ... the girl who everybody knows but nobody sees.
Katie McGarry is my go-to author for YA drama/romance. She writes highly emotional but beautiful stories with fantastic insight into the dramas of mature teenagers, with none of the stupid behaviour that you so often see with younger characters. She never lets me down, and she’s given us another wonderfully romantic and intense story with this one.

Last night I finished WALK THE EDGE by the amazing Katie McGarry.
I was extremely fortunate to get an advance copy since her editor is my editor...and I always beg for the books. :-)
This one was SO good that now I feel bereft. I already miss Razor & Bre - I need to know more! Every one of Katie's characters is unique, tortured but strong, still young but so mature. And they have good hearts. I love how she shows that.
This is a wonderful world she's created with the Thunder Road series.

Nowhere But Here was one of my favorite books last year and having enjoyed most of Katie McGarry's books, I was eager to read Walk the Edge. While the romance in this book was the highlight for me, I experienced some frustrations due to some side characters.
First off, what I loved about Walk the Edge - the characters! Both Razor and Breanna were fantastic characters that I was easily able to root for. My favorite undoubtedly was Breanna, who was a sweetheart. As a middle child in a family of 9 k ...more

I have never read a book by Katie McGarry that I didn’t absolutely love. And McGarry’s Thunder Road series is fast becoming one of my favorite Mature YA/NA series. I knew after reading the first book Nowhere But Here, and getting a glance at Razor’s character, that this broody, gorgeous, biker bad boy was going to break my heart, and I was so right.
Razor doesn’t know the hidden truth behind the death of his mother, and that has deeply affected his life, burdening him with guilt. It all comes dow ...more

RATING: 4 "Firefly" Hearts!! :)
“The boy everyone sees but nobody knows is with the girl who everybody knows but nobody sees.”
“This is heartbreaking and consuming and addictive. It’s terrifying and peaceful, crazy and serene. It’s a million things in one brief moment and it’s something I don’t understand and never want to live without.”
“If you want out of the box you hide in, then you need to crack open the flaps and bask in some sunlight.”

I don't know what it is about this series, but I eat this shit up. Is it perfect? No. But I am entertained and the way McGarry incorporates the motorcycle club is exciting.
I can't wait for the next book in the series because it features the couple I've been most interested in. Their history spans pre book 1 and their tension has been building for two books now. Bring. It. ...more

Katie McGarry wants all my money.
She's going to get it.
In Walk the Edge, we get more of Thomas Turner a.k.a Razor. This book is all about Razor dealing with the demons that haunt him and have him constantly on edge. We also get to meet Breanna who is going through her own crisis. These two come together unexpectedly. Something seems to click from their first meeting. Unfortunately, a bully takes advantage of that connection for his own selfish reasons and that's when things get really intense. ...more

So good!! I loved the relationship between these two. They just got each other when it felt like no one else did. I liked their chemistry, the way they worked together, how they were always honest and straight with each other. My heart ached for the hopelessness of their situation and I worried how they would ever make it, so I'm extra happy I got my happily ever after. This is the only motorcycle club book I've ever read, but that part didn't feel too extreme--like women weren't treated like ob

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book!!
Both Razor and Breanna are such a great characters and I loved seeing how they grew through the book. I have just been reading the whole time and couldn't stop. This just proves why Katie is one of my favorite contemporary writers.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Nowhere But Here was the first book of McGarry's that I read, but I knew I was hooked. When book 2 came up on NetGalley to request, I jumped at the chance to read it.
In Walk the Edge, the main characters are Razor and Breanna, who are so unlike each other, it's unreal. Breanna is counting down the minutes until she can leave town, and is hoping her parents will let her take an academic scholars ...more

I think maybe I'm adjusting to the whole motorcycle club setting -- I have a soft spot for some of the older club members now - buuuuut it still weirds me out to a degree. I don't like to think about what goes on during those raging parties of theirs, and I don't always agree with their lifestyle, but at least it's growing on me. Razor is the best part of the book. I loved his redemptive journey and the way he constantly protected Breanne without suffocating her. I also liked that the romance wa ...more

Before seeing the sneak peak at the end of Nowhere But Here, I had automatically assumed the next book would be about Chevy or Violet or Chevy AND Violet, but after I found out it was RAZOR?! I am super excited! I have a feeling that he's going to be my favorite!

Actual rating: 4.5
It was just as entertaining and fun as the first book in the series. I loved Bre and Razor together. They just connected in their own unique way. I wouldn’t expect them to be together but they just clicked so well together. My only gripe with this book was that I wished Bre had a little more confidence in herself to stand up to certain people. On to the next in the series! It’s my addiction.

I'm very excited about this one!
Razor was one of the most interesting characters in Nowhere But Here, maybe even my favourite? Which it really saying something because he hardly appears at all.
Here is my favourite scene with Razor thus far:
Lars plants a large wet kiss on Razor and instead of pushing him away like I expect the big bad biker to do, Razor only plants a kiss back on the dog’s head.

This book deserves its own awards. I have no idea how or why it's a GR choice award nominee. I really don't get it.
1. Most cliched, stereotypical character of 2016: Breanna Miller. [She's smart, so obviously, she's unpopular and scared and way out of a bad boy's league]
2. Biggest hormone-driven, sexist, ripped asshole of 2016: Thomas 'Razor' Turner, of course. [He refers to Bre as 'my girl', is extremely possessive of her, hasn't had ...more

Walk the Edge is the second book in the Thunder Road series. I'm also having a hard time trying to rate and write this review. I can't decided if I like it or I didn't like that much. I just feel like these characters were so frustrating to read. Maybe it's just me - I have no idea.

HOLY COW THIS WAS AMAZING!
I really really really loved this book! From the first page up until the last. Razor and Breanna were such interesting characters. Breanna comes from a big family but feels like she doesn't belong, and Razor has a lot of questions regarding his mother's death that nobody in his club, Reign of Terror is willing to answer. Their paths cross because of a photo of them together that was mysteriously taken, and now Breanna is being blackmail with it. Razor finds out and he ...more

My introduction to the Thunder Road series in Nowhere But Here left me wanting more and that's what I got in Walk the Edge. Razor was a secondary character in the first book and even then it was apparent he was troubled. Getting his back story went a long way in understanding Razor's pain over his mother's apparent suicide and his thinly veiled distrust of the Reign of Terror - the men that are supposed to be his family. When a detective shows up asking questions about the circumstances of his m

When I first read Pushing the Limits, I fell in love with Katie McGarry's words. Then I read Dare You To, and I decided, no matter what book Katie McGarry publishes, I would read without even reading the description. True enough, to this day, I have read all her books save one (which I should remedy soon!), and yet she still manages to catch me by surprise with how amazing her books are. Even with my already high expectations because Dare You To is one of my favorite books of all time, Walk the

In book two of the Thunder Road series by Katie McGarry, seventeen year old Breanna and Reign of Terror MC member, Razor get their happily ever after. Although marketed as a Young Adult novel, I feel like McGarry borrows some themes from the Contemporary Romance genre and utilizes it here. It gives the book a more mature feel to it that I can appreciate.
Breanna is smart and responsible, someone who you don’t really think will be involved with a boy in a motorcycle club. Although I didn’t ha ...more
