To survive where I live, you have two options.
You can be a Normal--a cheerleader, jock, member of the debate team, or on the yearbook committee. You pretend everything is normal.
Or you can be crew.
You insult us? We hurt you.
You hurt us? We really hurt you.
And if you screw with us, we will end you.
My name is Bren.
I'm the only female in the Wolf Crew--the best, fiercest, and most dangerous crew there is--and we have a rule: There's no falling in love.
Well... too late.

CREW: Is the first full-length, young-adult book, in the ‘Crew Series’ by Author Tijan.
This story is told solely from seventeen year old Bren's perspective, Bren is not your typical heroine she’s attending her last year of high school at ‘Roussou High’ the only girl in her ‘Crew’ a band of misfit friends that have each others backs no matter what. “Blood makes you related, But its loyalty that makes you family.”
Jordan Pitts (who is the self-proclaimed leader of their Crew)
Cross Shaw
Zellman Greenly
and Bren Monroe
Known as the wolves but that wasn’t their official name, when Bren pulls out a knife, her throwing skills were above average, but her sole talent laid in slicing and dicing her victims. There were other crews within the school that are bigger than their group but 'Crew' were the most feared.
When you become one of us, you have to agree to three oaths.
The first: will you treat us as family?
Will you fight for us as you'd have us fight for you?
And third: Would you forgive as if we're one person?
Bren was a hot mess, she was all over the place, volatile, cold, closed off all due to her losing both her parents drastically, her mother passed away and her father ended up in prison, and her brother who stepped up and took the reins wasn't a constant figure in her life either, until now, other than her best friend Cross she never really had anyone. His devotion towards Bren melted my heart, he stood by her through every obstacle in her life, Tijan brought his character to life, he was to die for. The silent but violent type, press his buttons and he'd detonate, touch Bren and he'd kill for her.
These two had a very complex friendship, you could feel the build up into more coming at you, chapter by chapter, every time she needed to get away you'd find her in one of two places, either in Cross' closet which was her sanctuary when things became too much or keeping watch over her old family home.
This was nothing like what I had expected, first I thought Crew was the hotty on the cover 🤦♀️Secondly I thought it was going to be his POV wrong again!!
