Itâs not often that a book completely take over my entire thoughts, and characters stay with you even when not reading. Hate Struck is one of those stories.It starts with a powerful opener, one that certainly grabbed my attention. Sarah is a survivor; a gutsy character who is so likeable. Horrific past events has shaped who she is now and she is certainly not going to put up with the antics of mean boy, Adam who plagues her life from the moment she steps into her new school.Adam is a character who will divide opinion. My feelings towards him, yo-yoed from hating him, for feeling sorry for him, to wanting to throttle him and then wanting him to magically appear in front of me so I could lick him all over! He is a character with so many levels to explore and whilst as a reader I felt I understood Sarah quite quickly, I loved the peeling back of Adamâs layers and discovering the real him and god, did I love him!With her smooth writing style, and creative prowess, Ms Ashton has produced a captivating story, that had me gripped, had me experiencing so many emotions and then left me…speechless!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. It’s a YA bully, bad boy romance. It has a good storyline behind it, I certainly never saw that ending coming. It throws a huge spanner in the works. I look forward to reading book 2.

I have no words!!!Hate Struck sucked me in and then spat me out completely gobsmacked!When I started reading, I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy this book as some of it seemed a little immature… but then I remembered that they are 17 year olds here. Not every bully book has to be dark and twisted with teens acting like they are mature adults. Although in saying that, from chapter 1 Hate Struck starts off pretty heavy!! The amount of emotion you feel while reading – the tears were definitely there. The more I read, the more I started to enjoy it and I ended up being so engrossed that I stayed up until 2am reading as I could not put it down.The main characters were so well written and I loved the storyline and plot. THAT ENDING!!!!! Warning: CLIFFHANGER!!! And what a cliffhanger to end with. It is just plain mean to leave us like that! But if I am 100% honest, as I was reading through the book, I actually had a few “what ifs” running through my mind and kind of predicted that it may happen BUT even if the ending is slightly predictable (maybe not to everyone), it was still a huge SHOCK! I still nearly shouted “NOOOOOOOO” as I read the last line.Sarah is a phenomenal girl. The trauma that she has experienced and the fact that she is still able to go about every day life and hold her head up high, was inspiring. She is such a strong, brave and a true survivor. Being the new girl at her school, she captures the attention of Adam. He is the most popular boy in school, captain of the football team, complete a$$hole, the hottest guy in school (of course) and can girl he wants. He uses girls and treats them like toys. But as put together as he is, he is wearing a mask and his actions are because of his own personal traumas.Hate Struck is an enjoyable, emotional, binge worthy read with steam and angst or tied together in a not so pretty bow. I cannot wait to read the next book as I am dying to find out what happens with Sarah and Adam after an ending that will leave you completely speechless!!

Oh my ! Oh wow!This book was an absolute fantastic read. This book deserves every single one of its stars. I’ve read books by this author before and i can’t recommend her enough, what a brilliant author. Her writing is so good that as soon as you pick up one of her books you just cant put it down. I was hooked immediately from the first chapter of this book. This story line of this book was something you could get your teeth into and it was fantastic. This is book one in a new series.Maddison High School Hate Struck book #1Sarah and her mum have been through so much together, they have been through one hell of a traumatic experience. Sarah lost her father after he was gunned down at work. Sarah took this extremely hard and was feeling very vulnerable at school.That is until one day her teacher saw her vulnerability and totally took advantage of this in the worst way possible.Adam is so cocky, he’s king cock of the school. Everyone does exactly as he says. He is also hiding a side to him that he keeps hidden. He loves his sister Lori, but all other women he makes there life a misery. That is until one day he sees her, shes’s the new girl in school and somehow he feels such a connection to her that he wants to protect completely.( NO SPOILERS )This book will completely captivate your mind right until the very end and you will not be able to put it down.The characters in this book were written brilliantly, this author has written them so good that you really feel for them both in there own right. Sarah did something to Adam on an emotionally level and he felt it very intense and so does the reader. His deep soul need to protect her completely overtakes his mind.After Sarah changed schools she was on his radar immediately and this is where a Love/Hate relationship begins.This book has it all love, hate, drama, suspense, hopes and dreams and really hold your attention until the very end and leaves you desperate for more.This book is out now and is a must read for everyone.I Need Book 2 now !!!Oh wow, what a total cliffhanger and now i’m so desperate for Love Struck book #2 in this series. Nowww!!!!

This book is more on the contemporary side of bullying, but it’s lack of darkness is made up by the depth of the characters and the heavy triggers with angst (which is coming up) I feel. The characters were like actual teenagers and thus made it more realistic.

HOLY CRAP THE ENDING!!! Recommend this book!
This was the first book I read by this author, And it was an emotional roller coaster for me. Despite the warning I choose to read it despite my personal traumatic past. At first it was hard to get through the first few chapters due to what the character went through. But to see her strength and will power to keep surviving and to over come what she went through is amazing. Sarah went through multiply horrible ordeals. Adam acts like a bully because its the only way he knows how to protect himself. He went through a horrible ordeal as well when he was 9. Now he feels like no one is in his corner or would protect him. Then fate would have it Sarah and Adam would meet at her new school. At first Adam is a bully to Sarah. He see’s through her and see’s that shes acting tough & brave even though you can see her shaking from fear. They end up going through this horrific situation and he ends up saving her. You see their relationship, not only change but it develops and they actually end up helping each other as well as let each other in on their secrets after this horrible ordeal. If you are the faint of heart or been through Abuse/Rape I would not necessarily recommend reading this book Unless you have coped with what you went through because this book could possible bring up or trigger you’re own past. The way this author ended the book was an absolute cliff hanger and I am DYING to know What the HECK is going to happen in the next book! The way this book is ended you will be absolute stunned and sitting here going WTF just happened, haha but really a good read and I really need the next book yo come out so I can find out what in the world sarah and adam are going to do after this huge bomb was dropped on the very last page of book 1. Overall recommend this book and would read it again.

Bully
I didn’t know what to expect from this book. I liked it. It has a lot of teenage drama, and you feel for the characters. Be prepared for a he’ll of a cliffhanger.

All the feelings
HOT dang Nikki. You blew me away with this book. I couldnât put it down. My new favorite book of yours. The raw emotion, angst and surprises could be felt. It was like you are living through the characters. That ending though!!! It was a jaw dropping moment and I can’t wait to dive into Love Struck.

Did not see that coming
First book to be read by the author Nikki Ashton. Honestly feel like Adam was not the big bad bully he was described, however I feel like that was made up for the build up between Adam and Sarah. The relationship between them maybe a little in tense, but yet it’s calming to me.
