Just Finished #1
Just Finished will be a series of posts of what books I have just finished. I write a review and talk about the book.

Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry
Plot/Blurb:
Taken directly from the book's jacket.
Thoughts:
Katie McGarry is one of my favorite authors, she wrote the Pushing The Limits series. I absolutely adored that series and was super exited for Nowhere But Here.
This book was great. The characters were all very realistic and relatable to. They all had flaws and made lots of mistakes at times but came out better in the end. The plot of the story kept you on edge and made you want to know everything. Some of this book was so unpredictable! It leaves you with an open jaw when you find out all the secrets of Eli and Meg. Emily was very annoying at the beginning. Oz acted like a jerk. They were both still likable despite that, and by the end of the book you definitely are rooting for them. They both grow as characters, but not so much so that it seems unrealistic. A big theme that comes from this book is family, trust, lies and love. Emily learns about the club Reign of Terror and how it is one big family that will always stick up for each other. Motorcycle clubs and gangs are in every page and I thought that every part of the book with the motorcycle club, The Reign of Terror, was very well portrayed and written. By the end, all the problems every character faced throughout the book have some sort of closure and there is no cliffhanger. There is definitely room for more to know about what happens.
This is part of The Thunder Road series. The next book is Razor's story. I am very exited to continue this series because some things are still unanswered. Hopefully they will be answered in her next book installment.

Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry
Plot/Blurb:
Taken directly from the book's jacket.
Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she's curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn't mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns into an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both.
Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They're the good guys. They protect people. They're…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club's most respected member—is in town, he's gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it's his shot at his dream. What he doesn't count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down.
No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.
