One moment of recklessness will change their worlds.
Smart. Responsible. That's seventeen-year-old Breanna's role in her large family, and heaven forbid she put a toe out of line. Until one night of shockingly un-Breanna-like behavior puts her into a vicious cyber-bully's line of fire—and brings fellow senior Thomas "Razor" Turner into her life.
Razor lives for the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, and good girls like Breanna just don't belong. But when he learns she's being blackmailed over a compromising picture of the two of them—a picture that turns one unexpected and beautiful moment into ugliness—he knows it's time to step outside the rules.
And so they make a pact: he'll help her track down her blackmailer, and in return she'll help him seek answers to the mystery that's haunted him—one that not even his club brothers have been willing to discuss. But the more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow. And suddenly they're both walking the edge of discovering who they really are, what they want, and where they're going from here.

Book Review: 5 Million Stars
Walk The Edge is another beautiful, heartbreaking and full of lessons for life book by Katie McGarry. I loved reading every word of Walk The Edge. It’s extremely well written. The characters are so believably well constructed with amazing depth and complexity. In addition to an incredible plot, there was mystery, action scenes, and a delicacy with the subjects it touches. It has EVERYTHING! This book was just as perfect as Nowhere But Here. Katie has won a new fan in me!
The second book of The Thunder Road Series is about “the boy everyone sees but nobody knows” and “the girl who everybody knows but nobody sees.” Breanna was one of the smartest kids at school. She didn’t have many friends and her life was all about her studies and her family. She was the 5th of 9 kids and sadly she never felt like she belonged. For the last year of highschool she decided she wanted to be seen. She wanted to show the world her true self but sadly that attracted so many problems for her. Razor was a member of the Reign of Terror, one of the most feared motorcycle clubs in the county, and best friends with Oz, one of the main characters of Nowhere But Here, book 1 of the series. Just like Breanna, he was part of a big family. He also had lots of brothers in his club, and his dad, but he felt all alone—as if he didn’t belong since he lost his mother at the age of 10. Both their lives changed the day they met at school after orientation in the parking lot. She said she needed protection and she’d hire him as bodyguard. He agreed to help her in exchange for her help in deciphering a code that will would give him the answers he needed about his mother’s death. This alliance was exactly what they needed. Not just for protection or discovering secrets of the past, but to save each other.
I’m not an expert in subjects of bullying or suicide, but I could say Katie wrote a beautiful book that could show how such things could change a person’s life if they don’t know how to handle them. Most of all, it showed that terrible things could be faced in time and passed over to have the life people really want in their hearts.
“Because somebody out there fucking loves you and doesn’t deserve the type of hurt you jumping would have caused. Killing yourself doesn’t solve your problems. It just hands them to somebody else.”
All in all, Walk The Edge is a beautiful book, with amazing characters and an awesome story. It will touch your heart, soul and will teach you a good lesson for your life. I recommend it 500%.
PS: Unlike Nowhere But Here, this book does have one love making scene, AND IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL I’VE EVER READ IN MY LIFE. *sigh*
