🥇 Highest Rankings: #1 Action #1 Chicklit #1 Mystery #1 Teen Fiction #1 Thriller 2018 Watty's Long List 🥀 Trigger Warning/Sexual Assault ⚠️Mature Sexual Content/Language R 🔞 •The Tattooed Devil Wears Chucks• Gabby Brooks seemed to be a normal 18-year-old girl growing up on the edge of an Iowa lake. She enjoyed being off everyone's radar in the small town of Luxberg. She had a small group of friends, an adoring family, and a love for her town. That was until the Parkers moved in across the street. A new friend with a tattooed god for an older brother changes Gabby's normal little life upside down. She finds herself fascinated by Jackson Parker, especially by his criminal past-which is filed away in sealed records. Not even her father, the town police officer, will spill as to what her new neighbor did to put himself behind bars. Jackson seems to be just as fascinated with Gabby Brooks, the daughter of his probation officer/town cop. His eyes are set on making her the next victim of his playful games, just to piss off her dad. Even with her father's warnings to stay away from the new neighbors, Gabby finds herself breaking the rules for the first time in her life. It brings out the best and the worst of the people she trusts the most, including herself. Secrets she didn't even know she carried are brought to light, shaking the town to its core. What Jackson and Gabby don't realize, is how much their lives will change because they can't seem to stay away from each other. Sometimes change is not always for the best.
