Walk the Edge - cover

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 cyberbully'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.

4.5 stars

Walk The Edge was a refreshing story that turned out to be more than I was expecting,
because it deals with some topics that sometimes aren't easy to write, cyber-bullying and blackmailing.

Breanna is a young girl, the smartest kid and the "quiet" one, between being forgotten by her parents and taking care of her siblings she really doesn't have time be herself, only with her best friend.
Razor is the pretty bad boy of the school, between the motorcycle club and trying to find news about his mother's death he has a lot in his hands.

These two one day have an encounter that changes their lives drastically! While Razor was trying to help Breanna, someone with a sick mind used this to blackmail Breanna, both Razor and Breanna decide to work together to find who's behind the cyber bullying and the blackmailing.

***

Breanna's relationship with Razor is something I adored. I only have read two books of Katie (Pushing The Limits and Nowhere But Here -shame on me-) and to be honest this is my favorite. When an author writes a YA book they're walking between the thin line of explicit and decorum, and Katie did an amazing job balancing both. 
The way she build the relationship between these two was like watching a choir with a slow tempo waiting anxiously for the fortissimo! 

I liked how they got stronger individually and how they found the solution and discover who was behind the bullying and the blackmailing. The hero didn't help the heroine and everything was  good... or vice versa. Both in their own strength found what they need it to face the problems. 

And also the background story -the relationship between Breanna and her parents, Razor's and the relationship with her dad and the motorcycle club- was a perfect complement to the story. They grew and to see how Razor softened a bit with Breanna was the sweetest thing ever. Also that Breanna was her true self with Razor because she felt comfortable enough with him, and then with everyone that surrounded her... that is what a brave girl does.
