“You don’t belong.”No words whispered in anger have ever rung more true.They’re the Kings of Brayshaw with the world at their feet, destined for greatness and in need of control. I’m the girl from the gutter with nothing to offer and as defiant as they come. They say it doesn’t matter, that I’m one of them now, and nothing could ever change that. Not even me, should I dare try.But they’re wrong.… dare try.
But they’re wrong.
They underestimate how far I’ll go to protect them.
Trouble is coming…and they have no idea.

Gah! This book!! This is book two in the series and boy, it didn’t disappoint! It’s safe to say Raven and the boys have ruined me!
I have to point out that I don’t normally do cliffhangers, they give me immense anxiety and unless the next book is out to dive right into then I steer clear at all costs but all rules are off when it comes to this series. I also stupidly thought that most of this book would be tying up the loose ends but I couldn’t have been more wrong!
There were more twists and turns, more hushed conversations, secrets and angst! Oh the angst!
Megan Brandy goes from strength to strength, each book blows the previous out the water. Her writing is flawless, addictive and perfectly executed!
This book truly was phenomenal and to say I’m excited and scared for Raven and Maddoc’s final book would be a massive understatement. I need everything tied up with a nice little bow on top! That’s not too much to ask right? Right?!
TABH…. consumed me.
Consumed my time.
Consumed my soul.
Consumed my heart.
TABH…. left me speachless.
Left me breathless.
Left me heartbroken.
Left me in shock.
Another book in series and I feel serously greedy for more Raven and her Boys, HOWEVER I’ve got the feeling, they are greedy for my attention too. They want me to watch how they fighting with their deamons and life….FOR sure Boys and Raven want to have me on their side!
Since first paiges I dive again so deepy in Brayshaw world, everything is written in the finest style…. It was another amazing adventure in the world, that wasn’t easy for everyone. Some Brayshaw’s folks have known it’s curel, raw and full of secrets… From one side I really want to know everything NOW…. I’m not patient, but from the other one – I still want to live with this characters and this author, without leaving Brayshaw….
Obviously, book 2 taking us to the place after “the end” of previous part. Even If I loved whole story, first chapters weren’t too easy for my poor heart… I couldn’t decide if I want to hug Raven more or shake her head strong.. She’s stuppborn as much as in 1st book. Sometimes she’s kinda scary me, but still I know…. Raven is loyal and do everything for people who she take care about.
Her boys seems to be like open books to read but taking step closer…. I saw how complicated souls they have.
Raven is my Queen, Boys are my Kings… TABH is definetely this book that gets only better and better when action goes further….. so I can’t wait for what will happen next!
GAH!!! YOU GUYS!! Spring has arrived with a BANG and I am here for it!! Trouble at Brayshaw High (TABH) was AMAZINGGGG!! This story picked up right from that crazy cliffhanger from book one where we now see how far Raven would go to protect her man and her brothers. I loved this story so much as Meagan Brandy successfully wrote a follow-up story that had me on the edge of my seat where I did nothing but consume every tiny and delicious breadcrumb looking for more. This story was such a gripping masterpiece!
Without giving away any spoilers, TABH was such an exhilarating angsty adrenaline rush. Being back in the fold with Raven, Maddoc, Royce and Captain was absolutely fantastic. Good Lord my heart was in my throat half the time as the suspense, angst and shocking af bombs almost killed me. I loved that in this story, Brandy was able to allow us to see to the heart of not only Raven but also Maddoc as he dealt with the fallout and repercussions of Raven’s actions. Being in his head was such a pivotal part of this story as it shed some light on his feelings and the mountains he would move in order to do to protect his girl and his family.
Overall, I FLOVED this story as the secrets and lies slowly unraveled and the true reason and purpose of everything came to light. We were able to see to the heart of Raven Carver and her Brayshaw Boys and what it really meant to be a #BrayGirl. I am now left on pins and needles waiting for the third book in this phenomenal series! Bravo! 5 stars! ~Ratula
So I’m gonna start my review off with I didn’t think Meagan Brandy could make these boys any sexier but dangit she did! Trouble at Brayshaw begins where book 1 left off. There’s no words to describe the protectiveness these boys have for Raven. It’s so amazing to watch it unfold. And there’s no boundaries Raven has when it comes to protecting her boys. I thought book 1 was a roller coaster ride. Book 2 is like that ride that takes you way up top then drops you when you least expect it. There’s almost nothing much I can say without spoiling anything. Just be prepared. There’s so many twists and turns it will keep you on the edge of your seat til the very last page. Some questions are answered but then some new questions have made themselves known. There’s plenty of wtf moments and swoon worthy moments. And don’t forget about those sexy moments. These boys are gonna knock you on your behind and make your heart pitter patter like a little girl with a first love crush. I only wish I could have a bond like Raven has with her boys. Such an amazing sequel to follow up book 1!!!!
Everything I hoped for and more! You know the first book was so good I was left thinking no way she can top that….well folks she did it! Meagan gave us everything!!! Absolutely everything!
These characters and their story is why I love reading….why I love falling into someone’s story and seeing where it takes us. Raven is my best friend and the guys…oh gee I love them all. There are twist and turns galore in this wonderful story so sit back and prepare yourself for this bumpy ride.

*Review by Michelle
Cue Dramatic Music! If you think you know what’s coming, think again! I was so anxious to read this book and I got some answers, some theories confirmed, however, some more crazy truths have been exposed and even more riddles and clues to even more suspense….I can’t handle it, this author better get the next book out SOON before my nails are chewed off! I loved every agonizing twist and turn this book took, made a few more enemies too! Meagan, you are a genius!
One of the most anticipated books of the year is here. You think you have everything figured it out, that your theories are right?! Nah…you’re not even close. Prepare to be K.O.
Trouble at Brayshaw High is the second book in the AMAZING Brayshaw High series by Meagan Brandy and continues where Boys of Brayshaw High left. Is it told in dual POV and you definitely MUST READ Boys of Brayshaw High first.
More lies and drama, more action, suspense, and definitely more love, twists and turns. Bomb after motherf@cking bomb, secret after motherf@cking secret. Your mind will explode, your heart will break, and you will have a book hangover for days.
In BOBH I fell in love with #Raven, but now I worship her. She is so much more, she is the QUEEN of Brayshaw. Still sassy, courageous, crazy, and reckless, but much stronger and protective. Loyal to her boys until the end, even if it means that she will get hurt. She never backs down…To no one.
“These people piss Armani and puke f@cking Prada”
The boys…OMG, they totally rock in this book, too. If you thought you love them in BOBH, you will adore them now. They are every bookworm’s dream. You know #Maddocpretty well from the first book, imagine him now, dozens of times more alfa.
Bossy, possessive, dominant, demanding, protective and strong. But baby, when it comes to his girl #Raven, he doesn’t play…He consumes her. He loves her with all his heart. His character is more developed, mature, and calculated…He is Big f@cking Man.
“Raven Carver is mine. Whether she wants to be now or not. Period.”
#Royce is still the crazy funny playboy, but this is all a facade. His character, as well as #Captain‘s, are more developed, Captain is still the voice of the reason, charming and compassionate. The calm and thoughtful one, and in my opinion, the most mature.
We get to know each more and about their feelings. They have a unique and special relationship with Raven. I can’t wait to read Royce’s story and see how hard he will fall. But especially, who will be the lucky girl who will manage to tame him…That would be a very funny story.
Every one of the boys has a special bond/relationship with Raven. Maddoc loves her like a man loves a woman. He loves her beyond everything. He proved it now, and I am sure he will definitely prove her, too, in the next book.
Royce being the crazy and fun, it’s like her best friend. Always making jokes, making her happy, smile, and hugging her. Very affectionate but not in a sexual way. Captain being the mature one of them, it’s like a big brother to her.
I thought that TheBoys of Brayshaw High was amazing, but girls…Trouble at Brayshaw High is the BOMB…and the ending…it will KILL YOU!
I highly recommend!
DBO~Review by Mary
Holy Shit! I have no words I’m absolutely speechless after this book! Meagan Brandy wrote a phenomenal book, that leaves you needing the next word more than air.
TABH if full of secrets, twist and turns, lies and betrayals. Every time you get one thing figured out she throws something else at you. I literally sat on the edge of my chair trying to read faster and slower at the same time. I needed to know but didn’t want the book to end.
Raven and Maddoc are more explosive than ever! And I’m not going to lie when the bombs went off I had to sit and can myself after because holy shit were they hot AF!
The betrayal of people the closest to you are the ones that hurt the most, and for the Brayshaw’s it’s. It diffident. For the person who betrays then they get a pissed of angry Maddoc who hold nothing back. And you think regular Maddoc is hot, angry Maddoc is on an entire different level.
And we just can’t seem to get rid of asshole Colins. He’s like the crazy ex you wish you never met. Crazier than you think and nothing you do seems to get the message across.
Ever word, ever sentence, ever page of this book leaves you need more. Every character no matter how big the role has an importance and adds a layer to the story. Ever scene no matter how big or small has a reason.
All the stars and so many more to Meagan Brandy and Trouble At Brayshaw!
This story picks up right after the end of Boys of Brayshaw High and it doesn’t stop! I love all four of the main characters even more now, and the twists kept my intrigue and attention on high throughout. Raven is one of the most fiercely loyal heroines I’ve ever read. She’s understandably weary initially because of her hard past, but once the Brayshaw boys earn her trust (although she does everything she can to fight it! Lol), she drops everything and goes to battle for them. She is so, so stubborn though–even more so than the boys–and they constantly have to work to make her feel truly accepted. It’s frustrating and the back and forth can be torture, but it’s also kind of amazing. I absolutely love how all the boys open up more in the second book, especially Maddoc. He’s a bit ‘crazy in love’ but he’s tender and those moments with Rae and his brothers are so endearing…*swoon* This book reveals more levels of deception from the powers that be and more questions will arise, and it will undoubtedly keep you on your toes. I haven’t said much about the plot, have I? Well, read these books! You can’t fully prepare yourself for this story and these characters but you WILL crave more when you are done! 5 stars for Trouble at Brayshaw High!
WOW! This book let me with a major hangover. This book just leaves you wanting more. I can’t believe what happens. I on the edge of my seat not able to put it down because just when you think you know what is gonna happen, BOOM everything is twisted. The loyalty between Raven, Madoc, Royce and Doc is intense and at times you’re just not sure. The rollercoaster ride is real and is filled with loops and more loops. I need more! I can’t wait for book 3.
Holy h*ll!!!!!! I don’t know if I want to kiss Meagan Brandy for giving me such a kick a$$ book, or put her in a headlock for leaving me hanging and begging for more! Raven and the boys are back and it picks up right where book 1 left off. You just can’t help but want to either be besties or scared sh*tless of Raven, and want to be one of the guys with Maddoc, Royce and Captain. Raven is the walking definition of a bada$$, but at the same time you really just want to mom her and let her know that things will be okay, that she is worthy of so much more.
I love this series so much and you must read book 1 before diving into book 2. But now I need book 3 ASAP!!!!! Once you start reading you will not be able to put it down.
Holy effing crap! Trouble at Brayshaw is one of those books I could NOT wait to get my hands on. The moment it hit my Kindle I dove in and ignored the rest of the world while I devoured EVER SINGLE WORD.I was so happy to have my boys and Rae back I may have neglected all of my laundry and cleaning.
The world Meagan Brandy has created constantly had me on the edge of my seat cheering on the Brayshaws as if I was one of them. I love the dark, grittyness that pours off the pages with Brandy’s honest writing. It’s unique and made all the emotional ups and downs throughout Trouble at Brayshaw even more enjoyable.
The Brayshaw Boys have quickly become some of my favorite characters to read about and now I will be on the edge of my seat until book 3 comes out!
I. Am. Not. Okay.
This review is gonna be long because I can’t say anything, but I NEED to say everything.
There was so much more revealed here, that my brain is just … it’s sitting in my brain, but it can’t form a complete thought. I have so many theories, questions, hopes, and fears that I just … can’t.
“Things are different now,” I all but growl. We’re not fucking dispensable to her. I know it. I fucking feel it.”
This book has a LOT happening. That’s probably the only reason it’s not a 5 star for me, just because it seemed to be too much. All this information being revealed seemed to flow with the events, mostly, but gosh was it an onslaught. In this book we find out more about: Cap, “Dad” & the situation, Raven & where she came from; also there are a MILLION new twists and turns and tangles between characters, new allies, and new-ish enemies. Obviously I can’t tell you any details, but you get it.
I was really impressed at the real way that these characters were portrayed. These are still teenagers, so they’re impulsive and sometimes reckless, even within their feelings of love and family. I totally saw this in the characters, even a bit in the more levelheaded ones. What I love about this series is the fact that these boys, and Raven, have had to grow up in many ways, but we can still see how young they are so often.
Maddoc & Raven take a turn, here. Things get real & loyalty is tested. Raven really turns a corner in recognizing that she has genuine feelings toward these boys, especially Maddoc. It’s been an interesting ride to see her wrestle with her learned independence and her reliance on these boys. They genuinely care about her, but she just cannot let herself go. There is a beautiful couple of moments where she begins to realize (aka is forced to recognize) that she does care for them.
This series has really pulled me into their world. I feel so invested in the characters and the mystery, that I sometimes find myself sitting and wondering about it as if I was a part of the lives of these people. Such good suspense and intricate mystery.
It is without a doubt you must read Boys of Brayshaw High before you even think about reading Trouble at Brayshaw High. There is just too much going on and you need the background Book 1 provides. I’m going slightly against the grain, but Trouble at Brayshaw High just didn’t do it for me like Boys of Brayshaw High did. While TABH is good and enjoyable, it just didn’t get me as excited as I hoped. Make no mistake, there are many moving parts and lots of questions were answered, but there are so many more that need to be answered. Backgrounds are laid out like pieces to an unsolved puzzle. The world that they inhabit is mysteriously layered.
Maddoc is still fierce, loyal, committed. Raven tough as nails but in a word, reckless. She’s also impulsive and doesn’t trust easily either. I try to understand her based on her background but find her frustrating at times. Together we get to see a little more of their relationship, the give and take, push and pull. And it doesn’t hurt that there is more Royce and Captain.
TABH is definitely not just a high school romance. The guys are still sexy, Raven is still a wildcard, but it just left me feeling a little dejected. I need answers. Book 3 comes soon. I hope.
THE BOYS ARE BACK!!!!!
While I salivated wholeheartedly over these three, it was Raven who took Center Stage and blew me right away. Her fire, her unwavering loyalty, battling her demons…whew. The secrets unraveled made me dizzy, this story took an unimaginable twist and there was no adulting until I gobbled up each and every word. The war upped the ante, the ending explosive, and with one more book waiting in the wings, I’m powerless to fight the addiction I have to these characters, this story, and the world the Author has created. I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

Trouble at Brayshaw High. This book is book 2 in the Brayshaw series. This book is no joke, I repeat it’s no joke. This book starts were book 1 left off. It’s straight drama from the beginning til the very end. I’m not going to give any spoilers so you need to read book one then read this one. If you love angst, mystery, love, handsome alpha males, strong willed woman, and a unique story then this series is for you. My emotions were all over the place in this book. Trouble at Brayshaw High ends with a “major cliffhanger”, I repeat “major cliffhanger.” I was breathless when I was done reading. If you read this book you have to read book 1 to get who all the players are and to get some backstory. I looking forward to book 3. I’m a little scared about it but, that’s why I love reading. Trouble at Brayshaw High is one of Meagan’s best. Five drama filled stars from me.
Meagan Brandy is just bound and determined to drive all of her readers right off the edge of the cliff with the next installment in her Brayshaw High series! Trouble at Brayshaw High picks right back up from the end of the first book and we FINALLY get to see who Raven went to see. I am completely speechless!
Let’s just say that this story totally BLEW MY MIND and my jaw is still firmly planted on the ground because HOLY FREAKING MOLY there were even more twist and turns thrown our way! Totally on the edge of my seat the entire time and the rollercoaster ride of angst was well worth it. Raven, Maddoc, Royce, and Captain don’t know what’s about to hit them, but it’s a wicked ride for sure. Meagan Brandy has managed to create a world that I have complete fallen in love with and her characters all hold a special place in my heart!
Hands down one of the BEST young adult stories I have ever read! I cannot wait to get the next book in this series and there is no doubt in my mind that it’s going completely turn our world upside down! Make sure you do yourself a favor and one-click this phenomenally captivating tale RIGHT NOW!
You have no idea how glad I was when I received the notification about I was selected for an ARC instance. It was the most anticipated book of the month for me and it’s not in vain. I just got what I expected. It’s an exciting book with crazy plot. It was simply breathtaking, I got goosebumps while reading.
The story can be read from Raven and Maddoc’s point of view. I’m glad to know Maddoc’s feelings better than in the first book of the series. I really enjoyed.
