I knew what they had was different. Don't go into Heroes and Villains thinking it's going to be your average teenage love story. It has so many twists and turns my heart was jumping all over the place. I did not expect so many different things to happen at one. Stacey Johnston gets enormous props for pulling that one off. I cannot wait to read more of what Stacey brings us. Her style of writing is fun and unique and I find it refreshing. As so many authors tend to have similar writing styles, especially in the romance genre, it's nice to see a different take.
While Heroes and Villains can be read in a relatively short span of time it took me almost a whole day to get through it. I found myself pausing once in a while to smile like a lunatic, to savor a moment, to laugh out loud with the antics of the characters, and to reread parts that touched me the most. It's rare to find a book that does that for me these days.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking for an escape from reality, for anyone wanting to feel the rush of adrenaline at not knowing what's coming next, and for anyone wanting to read a sweet book about two people who simply want to love each other. Without it, there is no reason to carry on.

Arc received for an honest review When I received the Arc I was advised that there were still some edits that needed to be ironed out there were a few but nothing horrendous. There is a bit of Aussie slang but again nothing that would detract from the story. Overall the storyline is okay and there is lots going on from all the different parties.
Tangled webs and hidden secrets it does all unfold along the way. I would of liked this to have a slightly faster pace as there is so much going on and I did Arc received for an honest review When I received the Arc I was advised that there were still some edits that needed to be ironed out there were a few but nothing horrendous.
I would of liked this to have a slightly faster pace as there is so much going on and I did feel that the whole book was quite slow moving. I felt the book might go down the route of a menage at one point but was relieved that it didn't given their ages. Overall I liked the book I didn't hate but I didn't love it either and I do feel I could have loved it if it had had slightly more bite. Dec 08, Kirst rated it really liked it Shelves: Heroes and Villains is a great read to start off with on a Sunday evening with a cup of tea.
It does have a slow start but it's needed to get to know the characters and what there about. This is the first time I've ever read a story written by Stacey Johnston and I wasn't disappointed. Without telling you the spoilers; this book has suspense that killed me and left me wondering what could possibly happen next?

Sophie and Ben were old souls trapped inside teenage bodies and I loved the cute old fashioned nick-names they had for each other and the banter between them was amazing! Stacey has done a good job on giving these characters complexity and meaning. They had connection between them and the hot scenes were naughty, impulsive and freaking hot! If you want to read some of Stacey's work This is the book to start with.
Mar 31, Stephanie Mae rated it it was amazing. I absolutely devoured this book, it was freaking awesome. We meet so many characters in this book, and they all play a major roll, that I loved everyone of them well except the villains of course. So we have our main hero and heroine, Sophie and Ben aka Sweet one and blue-eyed handsome boy, I have to say these two separately were great characters but bring them together and its explosive.
There were lots of twists and turns in this book, I will not spoil it you have to read for yourselves. Hot, h I absolutely devoured this book, it was freaking awesome. Hot, hot, hot were the sex scenes as well, loved Ben's dirty mouth, even Sophie had a dirty mouth a time or two, sometimes I forgot these two are in their last year of Highschool, with everything that goes on.
The only thing that upset me was if felt like it just ended, only because I wanted more, you need to get writing Stacey, I can't wait for more. Would I recommend to my friends, heck yeah I would!!!!! Reviewed for HeadTripping Books by Carolyn Mar 16, Gina Paulus rated it it was amazing.

The synopsis intrigued me so I took a chance. It starts off slowly but it sets up the background information. Once Sophie meets Ben it takes off from there.

I really enjoyed this book and, although a couple of things bothered me whilst reading - the language was little stilted almost no contractions such as "I'm", "you're", etc were used and the odd lapse into Aussie slang that was incongruous with California and Brooklyn,- these were more failings on the part of the editor.
