Addicted Series by Krista & Becca Ritchie


Addicted to You (Addicted #1)


This book was highly unusual and yet it was addicting to read. Lo and Lily's relationship was highly dysfunctional as well. For years they have tried to hide their addictions through having a fake relationship so that both of their families won't question the way they act.

This was the very first time I have encountered a character that's legit addicted to sex and porn. It was so random that I actually found it hilarious at one time but as the story progressed, I realized that Lily's problem is bigger that what it seemed to be. Lo's alcohol addiction as well, affected not only him but Lily as well. Both of their addiction ended up hurting them both. From the beginning of the story, I knew that one day their little bubble will pop and something has to be done, in this case they both need help.

It was a bit slow paced but I actually liked it and the dramatic ending made me tear up. 
 

Ricochet (Addicted #1.5) 


I love how this book isn't all about Lo and Lily's struggle about their relationship. It's actually a good thing that we get a glimpse more about the other sisters as well. Rose and Connor are like an old married couple and Ryke and Daisy crack me up. I just don't know how it'll work between Ryke and Daisy since she's underage.

I also like how the story isn't all about Lily trying to spend time not cheating on Lo. It was all about getting better when he gets back. Their relationship is an all unconditional love and I envy that even if it is quite dysfunctional.



Addicted for Now (Addicted #2) 


5 ADDICTING STARS!!!
Seriously! I think this is the best out of the series yet (Because I haven't read it all, and I will definitely read it ALL!!!)

The story picks up after what happens to Lo and Lily in Addicted to You (although, it is recommended that you guys read Ricochet before this book). Lo is finally reunited with Lily while she's in recovery. Lo struggles to be sober enough to help Lily's recovery by being there to support her in anyway possible. But then somebody is threatening to ruin Lily's life by exploiting her addiction. It doesn't help the fact that people also recognize Lo was an alcoholic.

It was very infuriating reading about that mysterious person taunting Lily when all she ever wanted was to have a happy, healthy & normal life. She even reconnected with her sisters and opened up to people by spending her spring break in Cancun. But it was short lived because they were all troubled by the person who torments Lily.

Its a big torture finding out who the mysterious person is considering this was a lengthy book.

I hope that the authors will keep the whole series this interesting. The characters are dysfunctional but very unique that by every page, the story just keeps on getting better.

I am in love with every main and supporting character in this series. Lily, Lo, Rose, Connor, Ryke & Daisy. They have all given me something to look forward to whenever I read about them. There was never a dull moment especially when it comes to the 3 guys. I was seriously laughing my ass off whenever one of them mouths a smart ass comment.

And may I just say that I seriously cannot wait to read about them. They have the most interesting relationship as friends (and I'm waiting for that to be more despite their age gap) and I can't help but laugh on how they talk to each other.

But despite all that, I am still excited to read about Rose & Connor's story in Kiss the Sky!
 


 Kiss the Sky (Addicted Spin Off)




"I am so deeply in love with you, Rose."

Ca vous a pris pas mal de temps. It took you long enough.

 "How long do we have left?"

"Forever."

HOLY FREAKING SHIT! I DID NOT EXPECT ALL OF THAT IN THIS BOOK!

Seriously, I was clearly not a big fan of Rose & Connor during the few first books of this series. Sure I liked them because they gave me a lot of laughs especially when they argue and I find it sexy whenever they talk or whisper to each other in french but I was blinded because I was rooting for Daisy & Ryke. I am deeply mistaken right now.

Connor & Rose were the responsible couple of the gang. They were the "go to" people whenever Lily, Lo, Ryke or Daisy messed up. I seriously thought that Connor has super powers because of the calmness that he can do whenever everyone is at a panicked state especially Rose. He knows how to handle any situation. Rose as well, she handles anything in a mature manner. But in this book, anyone can understand that they are just human beings and that they are also capable of mistakes. Nobody is clearly perfect, even if they strived for that perfection. They are a perfect match, they keep each other grounded.

I did not see that coming from Connor at all! He was all ALPHA MALE to Rose and it was yummy & sexy as hell. I was shocked whenever they had those intimate moments because whenever they were with the whole gang, they were different but when they were inside the bedroom, Rose submits and Connor clearly knows what he wants and what he's doing. And I want me some of that baby.

I swear, all those teasing whispers by Connor left me panting for more. I CAN'T. EVEN. Wow! Just wow!

The fact that their story became a reality TV show was just a spice in it. Plus, an asshole named Scott is also making everything difficult for the gang. He mocks every one and he's clearly creating tension in every body's relationship especially Rose & Connor's because he's pretending to be an ex-boyfriend. Total douchebag and the villain in this book.

And the fact that Lily, Lo, Daisy & Ryke were still significant in the story? I absolutely loved it. There were a lot of funny moments that made me laugh my ass off especially when the 3 guys go off insulting or mocking each other.

"You're not a pit stop. You're my finish line. There's no one after you… I want you for eternity, not for a brief moment in time."

The ending was perfect as well. I didn't see that coming at all and it was a nice surprise. This series has now climbed up to my favorites. I vow to read the next books (I was mistaken that I didn't read this sooner). And I can't wait to finally read Daisy & Ryke's story next. I'm sure it will be full of drama once more.

6 PERFECT KISSABLE STARS IN THE F*CKING SKY!!!

This series seriously got to me! And I can't wait to read more about the whole gang on the next books. I'm excited for Hothouse Flower already!!!!
