Epic!!! I’ll never be ready to say goodbye!
“ Always right. Always perfect. Always home.” Man...I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters or this series yet. I love this crew something fierce and couldn’t be happier with how everything played out. “The fire was building, thawing me out, then inflaming me.” Bren is still as strong as ever. Her character development throughout this series has been phenomenal and such a great experience to witness. She is in a new place and trying to find her path and a way to make sense of everything that is thrown at her. “I was growing again. How’d that happen?” Cross...swoon...he is...he is just perfect in every sense. I love him more and more with each book. His unconditional love for Bren is everything!!! Their undying spark and love for each other is awe aspiring. And I couldn’t get enough of his interactions with Blaise!! “He was my anchor. That voice, I clung to it, and let it pull me back in. I felt it readying my world again, making everything go back to equilibrium.” Suspense, humor, love and loyalty. I was brought to tears at multiple times while reading. There was a lot that I wasn’t expecting. We get so much more than just Bren and Cross, we get the whole Wolf Crew. Loved Tazsters, loved getting into others heads, loved how everything merged together. I will never be ready to say goodbye. Epic freaking finale!!! “We defied society rules. We fought and survived in the darkness, and somehow, we thrived among it.“
TIJAN. DID. IT. AGAIN 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just loved everything! This book and series is so much more then a love story. It’s a story of a chosen family, built from finding ones way through ALL the light and dark parts of life. Finding your chosen family, not made by blood, but by loyalty, love, respect, and protection, along with healing the broken girl, finding the one your meant to be with, and learning how to live and share her life, and to love and be loved. I loved seeing them grow through their fears, their doubts, their anger, loyalty, and protection of one another, and so, so, so much love. I still have all the feels the day after finishing this book and this series. I loved that the POVs weren’t just Cross and Bren, but also chapters from Jordan and Zellman. Getting to see a little bit of them was amazing, just enough! This book was the best ending to this series, and how a series should end, with closure and a HEA. Tijan did these characters proud! She hit this book and series out of the park, and one of the many reasons I always recommend her books and writing style. She truly has a gift and why I will always buy her books. WOLF CREW FOR LIFE!!! So can’t wait for the audiobook and whatever is next in line for Tijan to share with us! I highly recommend this book and the series, but best if read in order! Trust the journey the Wolf Crew embarks on, you will not regret it! Enjoy 😉 👏🏻❤️👏🏻
Amazing End for the Wolf Crew!
The Crew series, just like with the Fallen Crest series, is like coming home to me when I start reading. I’ve grown so attached to these characters, so for this to be their final book is bittersweet. Always Crew was another phenomenal book for Tijan, packed with action, drama, and love. The love between the members of the Wolf Crew is honestly breathtaking, that kind of loyalty is unmatched and hard to come by. And Cross and Bren, seriously those two are what dreams are made of. They complement each other so well, and the way that all of the crew members, Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman all read each other without words is amazing. They are more than family, they are each other’s everything. I also really loved that we got a bit more of an in-depth look at Jordan and Zellman in this book than we have in others. I’ve always loved them, but this book made that multiply. They love hard and reading about their heartaches made my heartache. I also really love that we got to see more of Blaise and Aspen, as well as Channing. Seriously, this entire book was so hard to put down, and I wanted to savor it, knowing it was the last one, but instead I devoured it. I couldn’t put it down, I had to know what was going to happen. This series is one of my all-time favorites, and these characters will be ones that I revisit because they feel like family. Tijan created a world that I can’t get enough of, and as sad as I am to leave, I know I’ll be back for them.
Hard to say goodbye
I just stared at a blank screen for 10 minutes trying to come up with what to say about Always Crew. I know this is the end of the Crew series but I’m hoping this isn’t the last we see of them. The definition of “crew” is “a group of people working closely together” which was exactly what these characters did they worked together in life they were unilaterally each other’s unyielding strength, support, ride or die in the most literal sense. What they shared was more than friendship or family Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman had was soul deep and I loved that as much as I loved the soulmate connection that Cross and Bren shared. Bren and Cross shared an intense off the chart chemistry they could have an entire conversation without using any words with only a look or a simple touch they knew what the other needed. They were everything to each other and I felt it on every page. Bren absolutely wrecked me a few times during this book all she wanted was a bit of normalcy in her world and she fought so incredibly hard for it. I adored the relationship between Channing and Bren they came so far since the first crew book. Blaise and Cross were highly entertaining with every bit of angry words shared the affection they built towards each other made my heart happy. Tijan never fails to create a world that sucks you in immediately, enough drama to always keep you on the edge of your seat, characters that become a part of you while they go through critical moments of their life and they fight to get their happily ever after.
Absolutely loved! Best ending!!!!
Gosh, I love Fallen Crest and their world and characters so much, and I just love even more that we got Crew from them, too!!! I love Bren. She’s a fighter, fearless, strong, and has a bigger heart than she knows. Cross is her perfect guy. They were made for each other. He might be my absolute favorite of all of Tijan’s guys. I can’t forget about Jordan and Zellman, too. They definitely had their shining moments in this book, too. I loved them even more after reading this book. They truly are a family, crew always. I just loved that they made a family for each other and stayed with each other. There was no crew breakup, just a lasting family bond. I will really miss these guys. But I’m excited for Nate’s book and Kess’ book still to come! I love Tijan’s writing and this book is one of my favorites of hers. Definitely my favorite of the Crew series. I highly recommend this book and series! I can’t wait for more from Tijan!
Sad to Say Goodbye!
It is always sad to say goodbye to a series I have invested my heart and soul in! Bryan, Cross, and the gang have been fun to watch from the beginning when we got snippets during the Fallen Crest series. This final book takes us to that precious place of the end of our childhood and beginning of being an adult. How will Bryan deal with the boys going to college, and Cross' new, but continued, popularity? What does Bryan really want to do with her life? Can she move on from her family's shadow and find her own path? This book answered all of these questions and took things deeper then before. This was definitely a poetic ending, and everything I have come to expect from Tijan. Each heroine is strong, and needs a strong hero beside her! Pick this book up today!
epic ending for the series
Amazing conclusion to the Crew series. This is my favorite New Adult romance series to date. Bren and Cross are one of my favorite couples ever. Their loyalty and connection is amazing. The way they always know what the other needs and give it selflessly. I was a little worried that with Bren's dad being out the plot would be heavily focused on him but it didn't and I was so glad. Bren's growth from book one to this was amazing seeing her change from feral at times to 'cuddly demon' was amazing. I screamed when we get to see the guys POV I have been wanting that since book one, and that epilogue my heart cant take the cuteness. I am really hoping we get to see cameos of the crew in future books because I am sad to see this end but it was a great way to end the series.
Epic conclusion.Loved it.
OMG. No words can ever describe what this book entails. It was fantastic, wonderful and everything I ever wanted for the final chapter of the Crew series. I am in love, count out it down and I'm so satisfied. It was full of everything we have know from the Crew world it even bigger than I could have ever imagined. Angst, violence, laughter, friendship, love, happiness, anger, tears, etc. A true emotional rollercoaster not only for the characters but for the reader as well. The personal growth that Bren alone had to go through was everything. It truly is a masterpiece. Highly recommend it but do read Crew and Crew Princess first. This series will not disappoint you. 5 stars are simply not enough.
Amazing Read!
HOLY HELL I can't believe this is the ending to The Crew. I have loved these guys and girl right from book one. I stayed up all night to finish this book because I had to know what would happen to them. And Can I just say I did not see some things coming because the guys could be a little stubborn. But I love how Tijan brought everything together and for the reader I felt like I was there in the book with all the characters. This series is a must one click series because it has it all in it. I plan on reading it from book one till the end how is how good it is. So go on out and one click this series!
Great close to an unforgettable series!
Ugh what can I say?! Bren is one of my favorite characters of all time, so reading the end of the Crew series was seriously bittersweet. But Tijan pulled the ending off perfectly. You know how some times the final book in a series is all about tying up lose ends but lacks in everything else? This was NOT that book. Yes it answered some questions, but we saw massive character development with Bren, Cross and the whole crew. I loved hearing more from Jordan and Zellman. These four stayed loyal to one another throughout the entire series which I really appreciate (I feel like it’s rare in a lot of books lately). And I loved reading how Bren finally came into her own. This series will be a re-read for me for years to come!
Epic!!! I’ll never be ready to say goodbye!

Wow, what a finish
I really liked the Wolf crew. No longer at high school, it was time for them to grow up, things had changed, it was no longer life by crew rules. Bren doesn't know where she fits, not at college, not really a girly girl, time to face her demons with her crew at her back. Her dad's back in the picture, there's her brother, Channing, who knows & cares, Cross, her man, her rock & anchor, Jordan & Zellman, her brothers in the crew, her chosen family. Life still has things in store for the Wolf crew, not all of them good
Perfect Ending
Tijan has knocked it out of the park yet again. I honestly cannot even contemplate a better conclusion to this series. The stories of Bren and Cross and their connection are everything you look for in a relationship. I loved that we got to read from both Z & J’s POV also and the character development and growth of the ALL the characters was outstanding. This story is was everything I wanted and more and Tijan did an amazing job of bringing in and giving time to all the side characters we have fallen in love with.
Loved it!
Aww I loved it! I’ll never turn down the opportunity for some more crew material. I feel like I already need more haha. Tijan constantly blows me away with her writing and always crew did not disappoint. It’s always fun to see how to characters grow and change and get their Hea. Bren, Cross, Jordan, and Zellman are so lucky to have each other and it was so fun to read about how they kept it all together in college no matter what crazy things come their way.
Bren and cross finale
Tijan is a master storyteller, I have swept away throughout the entire series and this book, in particular, had so many twists and turns that I was hooked. Unable to put the book down, my mind turning trying to figure out the hook all the way to the end. I was like a fish nibbling on a line, I knew it was dangerous but I couldn't resist. ❤️❤️ Don't resist take the plunge and read the entire crew series trust me you will fall in love.
Perfect Ending!
It is no surprise that this book was amazing and the perfect ending to this great series! So worth getting no sleep! Bren is such a dark character, but she grew leaps and bounds during this book. When she loves, she loves hard! She is one of my favorite female characters! I loved seeing some familiar faces that I loved from previous books. I enjoyed watching connections grow closer for some! Sad that the series is over, but Tijan ended it perfectly!
Left ALWAYS wanting more!
Might contain SPOILERS Is this journey at an end?! From Crew to Crew Princess to Always Crew, Tijan once again delivers a series you can’t put down and leaves you wanting more. In Always Crew we see the transformation from a high school Crew to the adults they will be. Bren is at a crossroads trying to find herself and where she fits in now that high school is over. What’s a girl to do when the rest of her Crew is in college and she needs to find her place in the world?! But as we know Bren will always have her Crew behind her backing her up in whatever she does or needs. But Bren has also always been a force that can also stand on her own, she is no wilting flower. Bren and Cross are still off the charts HOT!!! But what is really special about this book that brought tears to my eyes was watching Bren transform and find her place. She may discover she has more than just her Crew. And of course these guys just can’t go without a trouble finding them. I could not put this book down until it was finished and I never wanted it to end! Tijan, you did it again!!!!
A great finish to the Crew series!
A great finish to The Crew series, I loved every minute of the stories that wove around Bren, Cross, Jordan and Z! Bren is my freakin bad*ss hero! She has been put thru hell, and when most girls would've crumpled and broke she became a bad*ss and whipped *ss! She became dark, but came out the other side and learned to take her anger and put it to good use! Love her!
Heart eyes
I am so in love with these characters!!! I'm so sad that their series is done. Bren is bad *** and I love the relationship that her and the rest of her crew have with eachother, so much loyalty, trust and all around love. Plus I love Channing and was glad he was a part of this story as well. I love all of the Fallen Crest and Crew crowd.
Omg
So hard to say goodbye to the crew but dammmmm was this book steaming and you get so involved you can’t put it down. I just love Bren, Cross, Jordan and Z and can’t forget Channing ❤️. I love when all the characters return and you keep me on my toes. This book is about A girl trying to find herself from everything she’s been threw and keeping everyone together. You will love it❤️❤️🔥🔥
BEST ONE YET!
I love all the Crew books. This book was so amazing. It had you from the very beginning and there were so many surprises. Tijan is one of the only authors that can write a book and you KNOW it will be good. I love how there are always little mentions of other characters from other books. It helps keep you engaged and makes you want to go back and read those stories again. Thanks Tijan for sharing your awesomeness with us!
Always Crew
I love the Crew trilogy! What’s better than a close-knit group of friends who always have each other’s backs with some love thrown in between two members? Nothing. I adore the characters. Always crew!
Best of the series
Each character grew so much in this book. Bren especially where she finally got answers to her past regarding her dad, finding her true passion and where she belonged in life, and slaying her daemons along the way. I really enjoyed the evolution of Jordan and seeing the crossover of characters from Fallen Crest. This book was so much and by far the best!
Awwwwww maaaaaan
What an epic conclusion to this chapter. I’m sure we’ll see familiar characters again in some capacity as a lot of stuff is interconnected. I love that so much about her works. This was such a bittersweet book. Bitter as it’s the end but sweet bc it was so juicy with everything in it. I loved it so much as well as loved this entire series. Epic read.
AMAZING
I seriously cannot get over how much I freaking love each of these characters and their stories. I’m heartbroken this series is over but absolutely thrilled with the ending. Looking forward to the next adventure
Perfect!!!
This series was my first for Tijan. I loved it from the first sentence and this last book did not let me down. The characters, especially Bren, had so much growth. It was truly a beautiful thing to watch over three books. This book was gritty and gripping and the PERFECT ending for this series. I cannot wait to dive into her other books.
Get this book!
I absolutely love this book! I wish I could go back and reread Fallen Creat High through to this book with fresh eyes to re feel every emotion I felt over the years while impatiently waiting for Tijan to come out with FCH, Crew, and Rich Prick! But now I’m patiently waiting for Nate to come out.
What a finale
Always Crew was a bitter sweet end. I already miss Bren, Cross and the Crew. I loved that all the characters have grown and matured and are finally finding their way in the world. I loved the cover, the storyline and was pleased with the ending. Great, great series a must read.
What an end to an awesome series!
This books puts you through so many emotions! It's a wonderful ending to a series I wasn't sure that I would even start reading. The characters and the feeling and thought put behind the writing is so astute and descriptive I just don't have words to describe. Thank you Tijan for writing books for us!!
Bren’s Family
I enjoyed how everyone grew in the book and it showed how much everybody loved each other and finding new relationships.
Well...
I... uh.. truly don’t know exactly what to say here. I LOVE this series. Like I’m fiercely attached to these characters and this series. Bren is a badass. Cross is at the top of my list of fictional characters that I’m painfully in love with. Zellman and Jordan are best friend goals & I’ll read anything involving Blaise 🤤😍. I LOVED that this turned into a story from both Bren and Cross’s POV. (With the addition of some Z and Jordan ☺️). Cross especially tho. His connection with Bren was already intense and perfectly written in a way that was reinforced even without first person dialogue from him... but actually getting his POV and feeling those feelings from him for Bren...... Ho-ly-OMG-panty-dripping mypantsareonfire it was HOT. It was raw and real and powerful. God I’m so glad there was never any forced conflict into their relationship to engage a plot line.. it would have ruined everything for me. Their dedication to each is something that should never be messed with. That’s Crew. The downside, and the only reason I couldn’t give this book a full 5 stars is because there’s no way this can be the end of the Wolf Crew’s story. And I don’t mean getting to see them as secondary characters in other books that will inevitably be coming out... I mean the story solely focused on them.. there’s no way. With an ending like that?? Come on. I mean there was resolution. It was choppy, which made it feel rushed, but things were wrapped up. I’m obviously no writer, but I’m a full on reading addict and the last 20% of this book was basically just flash frames of Bren tying up lose ends. My humble opinion is that these stories deserved to be explained more. There was still so much happening. The guys going to school. Bren settling (as much as Bren is able to settle). The girls. Blaise and Cross... there was plenty to focus on that could have given us another book and given the “wrapping up” a bit more justice. And I mean hello... no spoilers, but you can’t just leave us with that ending of the second epilogue..... we deserve more!! And we especially deserve Cross’s POV. How protective he is of Bren and how much he loves her....?!?!!!! There’s MORE THAN ONE scene that should have been played out from his POV regarding that topic and WE DESERVE THOSE SCENES!! So idk.. while I absolutely adore this series... I can’t help but feel like I’m being cheated out of being a part of “My Crew’s” happiness... Guess we’ll see. But for now, I’m fully sulking while I recommend that y’all should, in fact, read this book. I mean... you made it this far... you can’t just not finish the series lol.
I never write reviews
I never write reviews but I feel like I should right now. Tijan has been one of my favorite authors for a while now and the books speak to my soul! Sometimes the books have a happy ended sometimes it left up in the air but most importantly the person comes out better and fighting in the end! Life is a journey with it's ups and downs but one thing you always have to remember is that your bad ass and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!!! Tijan thank you for writing book that speak to me!!!!!!!
Was not ready for that ending
I can’t believe it’s over!! But you gave us a perfect ending! Crew has been one of my favorite series by this author!! I will miss Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zelman so much!! But they had an amazing ending!!! It was PERFECTION⭐️
Love, love, love
I tried not to read it too fast as I wanted it to last since it was the last in this series. The story was everything I had hoped for and more than I expected. I adore these characters and will really miss them. This is a great series!
Cross!!!
I am so sad that this story is over! I loved every second of it! I loved the growth Bren went through and I loved how her and cross relationship grew. No ones loves harder then cross and you can tell!
💗💗💗💗
Wow!! What an amazing end to this series!!! I mean so much action and drama!!! And so much family!! I loved it!! We got an amazing ending!! I really hope to hear more about al these guys in the future!!!!
One of my favorite series
I’m so sad to see this series end but it’s amazing. Bren pulls you in and it never lulls. I loved their was more perspective from Cross and even from Jordan and Zellman. Ah! Just all the feels. Tijan is my favorite and I can’t get enough of her writing. Loved it.
This can’t be the end!!!
I seriously loved Fallen Crest, but the Crew series - it is just so freaking good. I can’t believe we are at the end. Amazing series. Amazing characters. Loved it!!
They just keep getting better
If you aren't familiar with the Fallen Crest series you will be after reading Crew!!! Never enough CREW!! Thank you Tijan You did it again!!! Counting down the days until Nate.

I'm just in love right now! Wow Cross & Bren with a little one, can't wait! Please tell me they'll be another book. So we can see everyone grow up and branch out with families!
3rd book of the Crew series
Loved the third book in the Crew series. The book make you feel as part of the characters as you go with them as they venture into each stages of young adulthood. Written by Tijan so you know it got to be great!
Amazing
What a wonderful end to the crew series. Tijan never disappoints. Bren and Cross are one of my absolute favorite couples. It's been an amazing ride and I'm sad it's over.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing ending to a great series! Loved this story and the characters! Hope to see cameos of them in the future! Definitely recommend :)
Loved
As usual, I love this book! I'm so happy for the happy ending. It was needed. I so always recommend this series, it is love if my favorites.
Crew to the end!!
This series is everything, I didn't want this book to end, because that means it's over for good . Not going to spoil anything for anyone. Just read it
Always
So sad to see this story end but what a great book. The Wolf Crew has my heart and I know I’ll love rereading this book as I do all of Tijan’s books.
Tijan always proves she’s the best 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Bren and Cross have their time. I love these two! Their love and loyalty shine. No matter what is thrown at them, they’re in it together and forever.
Amazing
This book wasn’t a disappointment! I loved it! Bren and Cross are amazing! I loved the plot and everything about the series!
Great conclusion
Tijan hit it out of the park again! Bren is so real and is one of my favorite characters, hands down. I’m sad it’s over, the crew will be missed.
I didn't want it to end!!!
The Wolf Crew..... I'm going to miss Bren and her Crew so much!!! The growth in this book, wow!!! This was a great ending to this series!!!
Why’d it have to end!? 😭😭😭😭
Such an amazing series. Seriously could not get enough. I’m so happy with the conclusion of the series though. Now to wait for Nates book!
Amazing way to end the story
I sure hope that we get little snippets on the Crew, I can’t believe it’s over!! Another great read, I’ll miss this series a lot!!
Loved it!
Read the whole series and I loved this third book! Only disappointment was that it had to end lol. I highly recommend this book, the Crew Series and any book by Tijan.
Tijan
Still my favorite writer. Cannot wait to read her next book! Love the way I can feel the characters emotions in all her books.
Amazing
This is an amazing series! You will be on a rollercoaster of emotions and enjoy every second of it !
Perfect Ending to the series
Tijan delivered exactly what I wanted to conclude this series. With each turn of the page, I fell in love with this group of friends a little more. Their bond and love for each other speak volumes. As their lives begin to change, Bren's crew goes off to college. Leaving Bren behind was not an option to Cross. Where he went, Bren went. She may not be attending school, but she would always be by his side. As we all know, Bren is broken and Cross and her crew have always been the glue that held her together. Bren is sort of lost in life, not sure what she wants to do, or where she fits in anymore. When an opportunity sort of falls in her lap, she takes the job at a bounty hunter's office. Little does she know, it wasn't a coincidence. With her overprotective brother along with Cross and her crew, she always has a family to lean on. But we all know, sometimes Bren doesn't always share everything, she keeps things bottled up inside. With the bond she and Cross share, it is difficult to keep anything from him. Cross is her rock. He keeps her grounded and loves the many sides of Bren, the good and the ugly. When her father returns to her life after being in prison, Bren doesn't know where he can fit into her life, or even if there is room for him. Their past will always be at the forefront of her mind. Somethings can never be forgiven. The ghost of her past eats at her each and every day until she breaks. Bren needs to go on this journey on her own in order to heal, but Cross is never far from her side. I LOVE the connection the two of them have. They always know what the other is thinking without ever speaking a single word. One look shared between them and their minds are connected. Tijan wrapped this series up perfectly. I am sad to see the series end, but I LOVE how she did it. Bren and Cross deserved nothing but a happily ever after, especially after all they've been through.
A stunning and exceptional conclusion to the Crew Series.
Somehow in my rush to review 15 books last month that released within a week of each other, I missed my favorite of them all! Always Crew is the third and final book in the Crew trilogy but none other then my favorite authors, Tijan. And what a phenomenal conclusion this was to the series that I’ve now read multiple times. Like other many authors, I find that Tijan is known for several hallmarks in her writing. She writes angsty, sexy, and exceptional stories that stick with me long after I’ve turned the final pages. She writes well-developed characters and intricately woven into a story that exhibits all. the. feels! And the Crew trilogy is everything I expect when I pick up a Tijan book. This series is one of my favorites so far and Always Crew was perfect a conclusion to a trilogy as it gets. This coming of age, best friends to lovers, contemporary romance trilogy is told predominately from Bren Monroe’s POV with a few chapters written in Cross, Jordan and Zellman’s voice as well. From the very beginning, Bren Monroe and Cross Shaw exhibit an almost tangible chemistry Bren and Cross are best friends and their romance demonstrates this. But the chemistry that’s grown between them as the story has progressed is exquisite. You’ll find that while their romance was a bit of a slow burn romance initially (in Crew) over the course of Crew Princess and Always Crew, that relationship advanced to become unmistakably sexy with a new connection that develops as their relationship blossomed from friends to more. It truly was rewarding, and Bren and Cross are brilliantly written. They have expertly crafted depths and a fabulous story arc that truly allows readers to see a character that grow and progresses in a very real manner. This, IMO is often missing in modern storytelling. And while many readers now find slow burn romances unfulfilling, the time and patience that Cross put into his developing his relationship with was exactly what I look for in my favorite book boyfriends. I found it richly rewarding, very realistic, and indicative of the types of relationships that last the test of time. Always Crew aligns perfectly with the other books in the Crew Series and all my expectations when I sit down to read a book written by Tijan were met. The storyline is well crafted and beautifully illustrates the characters coming full circle. The secondary characters are every bit as loveable as the primary and while I hoped for more books about the Crew crew…I’m deliriously happy with the epilogue and can’t wait for Tijan to deliver Nate. It was complete unpredictability and epic entertainment with a consistence pacing. While it was angsty, it also had contrasting moments of levity and sexy to illuminate a well-rounded book that’s impossible to put down… even if it’s a whopping 100k + novel. As an avid reader, I often find myself falling down the same rabbit holes again and again, but Always Crew (and the book before it in this trilogy) feel fresh and unique. And finally, we got a story that didn’t end with a cliffhanger! If you’re in the mood for an epic story with a beautifully broken heroine, a sexy bad boy best friend turned lover, and all the angst of a coming of age drama, you’ve found it. You’ve also definitely found your next five star read!!! But make sure you read the Crew Books in their proper reading order—Crew, Crew Princess and Always Crew. Quotes: I’m young. I’m new to this world, and this town, and I was still just starting out on the exploratory trek of finding what the hell I wanted to do in the world, but the usual roles that I should be portraying, the ones that spoke of my background and upbringing, I wasn’t. I wasn’t new, or innocent, or eager. I wasn’t ambitious. I wasn’t hopeful. I was jaded. I was tired. Give me a fight to break up and I’d wade in without a second thought; that was the world I was comfortable in. I was a fighter. That’s what I did in life. It’s who I became. It’s who I was. It’s just how I was. I fought and I survived. Watching Jordan, how he was handling life at college, watching Zellman, even watching Cross— they were happy. And I wasn’t saying that I was unhappy, but I was lost. We were crew, and because of that, they’d been in the darkness with me. We formed out of necessity, and then that bond strengthened into a vow of family. We moved at the right time for her, and that was my place. I always went by her timetable, about what she was ready for or what she wasn’t. I knew when to push, when to hold back, when to launch forward, when to pick at her, when to ... her off, when to tickle her, when to love her, and when to make her melt. I knew Bren more than I knew myself... She might’ve been floundering a little, but she didn’t know how much she was my anchor. She was my North Star. I needed her or I’d be lost. I’d go off the rails. Bren wanted justice in the world, and I knew that’s where we were going. Me, I just wanted her. I was going to marry this girl. My girl. Mine. This boy. This guy. This man. I was going to marry him. I was going to have his babies. I would fight him, with him, and for him forever. He was mine, all mine, and I was going to savor that he came into my life.
I will miss this world so much!!
"He and I. Cross and Bren. All I needed. All I wanted." I am going to miss this series so much!! The Crew burrowed its way right to my heart and the little family they created against the world was an action packed, heart pounding, and exciting thrill ride from beginning to end. It was different, unique, and fun as all get out to read!! Bren is one of my favorite female leads in her ferocity, her tough, no frills, take-no-prisoners personality surrounded by her boys that always made me smile, swoon, and laugh out loud. Bren really came into her own in this installment, and her relationship with hot as hades Cross blossomed into a quiet storm, complementing each other so much!! I will miss the characters, the storyline, and the entire world it was set in. "We defied society rules. We fought and survived in the darkness, and somehow we thrived among it."
Love Bren and Cross
I love this author Tijan so much. I read a lot, so I can often predict where the plot is heading, but Tijan always goes the unexpected, and better storyline route. I love letting her surprise me. Fallen Crest, Rousseau, and now Cain, are my favorite book worlds. I seriously never thought anyone would beat my favorite couple Sam and Mason (FCH), but Bren and Cross in this series have managed it. I love that Cross knows Bren so well and what she needs... relationship goals right there... just sigh-worthy. This book was the perfect ending to this series... of course I would love books on the rest of the Crew, but I love the growth of Bren in this series. I was not sure if I would like this spin off when Tijan announced it, but like always, she far surpassed my expectations!!
Wolf Crew
I had to take a minute before I wrote this review because I mean this was end and I didn’t want it to be the end. I love all that is Tijan! I fell in love with Fallen Crest way back in the day and I literally devoured all of her books from then on. There is something about Bren that pulled at me. Really the whole Crew. I loved the character development of Jordan and Zellman. I was enthralled with Rich Prick and was glad we got to see Blaise and Cross really see each other and for Bren to let that happen. But like Bren realized she was growing up and really finding herself in Always Crew. I am so happy but sad at the same time!
Love love loved 💘
Tijan you are amazing with words I couldn't get enough! First thing first I totally recommend this book series to anyone or I mean everything and trust me you'll love it! And I rate this book five stars 🌟 because it deserves it and much more. I was so taken with how you wrap up the book series that i have no words to describe how I feel there is so many emotions because I loved the way you ended the story and how Bren got her emotions under control and how everything worked out with her life in the end. I just can't wait to see what you come up with Nate's story.... So exciting!
Love it but it's a lot for one book
I loved these characters so much! I'm sad to see this series come to and end. I really liked this book, but there was so much that happened... it was a bit hard to keep track of all the new people and different story lines. I do think Tijan did a great job of connecting everything together and wrapping it up at the end, but it was a lot for a single book. I really loved the evolution of Bren in this story, though. She gets so dark in book 2, and now she's finally figuring out her place in the world! ❤❤ And her are Cross are 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing!
Tijan hasn't written a book i don't love. Bren and Cross are one of my fav couples! From the first time I met Cross to the end I have loved his protective nature, attitude, crew loyalty and the way he moves when Bren moves. Bren, with all her insecurities, is still bad@-- I absolutely love how she connects with her whole family from the Wolf Crew to her brother, from brock's bounty hunters to Aspen and the girls. Jordan and Zellman make up THE BEST sidekicks and crew members. Love love love them. If you're just now reading Tijan there isn't a book that she's written that will disappoint you. #wolfcrew
Always Crew
Another hit for Tijan! While these characters are a bit younger than me, I was able to fall in love with this crew. Their toughness and love for one another was epic. And let me tell you Bren is one of the best female characters I’ve read in awhile. Cross, oh Cross, I am picturing that hotness. Love the rest of the Wolf crew, Zellman and Jordan. Throw in Blaise, Cross’ half brother and gahhhhh! Great series. Will miss these guys. Hoping Rich Prick, that I’m reading next, has plenty of appearances
Amazing
It took me a few days to actually read this book because I knew it was the end to a series I did not want to end. And the ride was everything. I did not want to put it down at all. This book had everything Tijan gives her readers with every book she writes. There was closure and growth in these characters and answers to things that needed answers. I know this sounds vague but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Just know that this book was the perfect ending but also wish that it was an ending.
Always Crew
I can’t believe it has come to an end. Reading about Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman’s world has been a journey. Despite Bren’s darkness and ticks (some were difficult to read), it was a pleasure to follow her and her crew through tick and thin. On a side note, Jordan did fall from grace in my eyes in this book and that feeling consumed too much of the book for me. Without adding spoilers, However, I was unable to focus and it was with a heavy heart I followed his story. I miss the way I felt about him.. Anyways, it’s bitter sweet the series has come to an end but I would re-read Bren’s story anytime!
Than is one of the best Author's.
Once again I loved every second of the Crew series. This book and the other series that go along with it are some of my favorite reads. I really really hope this isn't the end of the Crew, Fallen Crest or Roussou series. Each and every character of these series we've come to know and love. Than makes the characters of her books so real. You feel like you know them. I really want more. I have bought & read every Tijan book so far. I can't wait for the next one.
Well....
Am so lost for words. This feeling right here is like having an empty nest. To say I will miss ‘the crew’ is like an understatement. Their quacks, craziness, douchery, arrogance, sexiness, darkness, and above all, loyalty to each other. Cross totally devotion to Bren and vice versa. My babies are all grown up and flew the nest. Will we ever see them as grown ups? I hope. Even though it looks like they never have any childhood. Well i have to say ‘see you around’ my loves...
Totally got me my fix
Cross and Bren is my ultimate couple. The story is one I hold dear to my heart, it such a good ending to their story. I feel completely satisfied. She is a troubled soul in so many ways and lost in still finding herself, but with Cross she had the best support. As always with Tijan it put so well together and written easy to read. Amazing work. If you havent read the first two Dive in straight away.
Absolutely love this book
Tijan once again writes a story that is captivating from page one. The fact that I love Bren and Cross ( and the rest of the Wolf Crew too ) is just a part of it. I loved watching the character growth and the cameos of characters from other books. This book had me in tears because I know that the end is almost here for these characters that I have read and loved. But also because Bren finally got closure with everything.
Wow! Always Crew is SPECTACULAR!
Bren and the crew are back at it and we get to see what university looks like for them! Tijan brings the heat, the angst, the loyalty and all that is amazing with her books. We get to see the story continue and the characters grow and revolve. Wolf Crew forever! I loved this book so much!
Not ready to say goodbye
I am absolutely obsessed with this crew! Bren is a badass, Cross is the guy everyone wants to be loved by, Z is hilarious, and Jordan is an amazing friend. This book had me stuck from start to finish and was such an epic conclusion for them. Thank you Tijan for creating such an epic storyline with characters who really burrow themselves into your heart.
So in love with the wolf crew
I really enjoyed this series! Can't wait to hear Jordans and zelman stories! As soon as their stories come out I'm going to read them as quick as can be! I do love the audible I can tell you that, the audible is cool exciting I also get a lot of housework done while listen to Audible. So in love with thus series that includes fallen crest!
Always Crew
Tijan has done it again. Just when you think you've read her best book she decides to write one even better!!! Bren, Cross, Jordan & Zellman have become some of my favorite characters. This was a great way to end the Crew series. I loved that we got to read this book from everyone's point of view. Thank you Tijan for always putting your all into your books. This is definitely a book I will read again & enjoy for years to come.
Way to end the series
Ok, so this wasn’t my favorite, if I’m being honest. That being said...it was the perfect to the series. It just took my longer to get into this one than the others. Once I was in it though, I couldn’t stop reading it. I had to know what was happening next and how the crew would handle things. It didn’t disappoint at all!
#wolfcrew
I always love Tijan and her books and while I didn’t expect to love this one any less...I didn’t expect to have a new favorite! This book brought me to 😭 tears! It was the perfect ending for the Wolf Crew and I wish one day ..ahem...will have a book! I don’t want to give any details away! The chapter is complete for these four and it saddens me but the ending was so perfect for them!
Absolutely amazing!!!!
I absolutely loved this book ! This was the best ending to the crew. But, I wish it wasn't! I would love more of the wolf crew and others. I can't get enough of Bren and Cross!! Hopefully we can get more one day!!!! You did it again Tijan!!!! Absolutely amazing and breathtaking beautiful!!!! Absolutely a must read!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Always crew
I was excited for the wrap up of this story. I’m a huge fan and have read almost all of TIjans book. Even with my excitement I couldn’t get into this one and usually read a book in on day but it took me ahwile to finish this one. The story wasn’t as gripping as the others but it was still a nice conclusion to the crew story.
A fitting ending
Tijan does it again! Saying goodbye to the Wolf Crew will be hard. I feel like Bren is a best friend. Watching her grow has been a pleasure. Glad she never lost her spirit! This is the finale for Crew series so if you are looking for a great adventure start with Crew then Crew Princess and end with Always Crew. Worth your time!
Crew Rules!
I love crew collage life! I can't get enough of Crew and Fallen Crest characters. I really hope this isn't the end. I think Bren as a bounty hunter is perfect! I really hope books take off from there. I need more! I am praying this is not the end. A get together of both Crew and Fallen would be ideal!!!
Hate to see it end
Seriously this series can’t end like that. Having Fallen Crest end was bad enough & still waiting for Nate’s book to come out. I need more & would love a crossover book that told us how / what everyone is doing now that they have grown up some. I love all of your books! Keep writing & I will keep reading.
What do I do now?
I love love love Tijan's books-all of them. Bren and Cross are two of my favorite characters and the Crew works she created was amazing to get lost in. But, what do I do now that I've finished her Crew series? I hate it when I finish her books bc I miss her characters immediately. Can't wait for Nate.
Wow, what a fantastic way to end the series
College life for 3 of the 4 Wolf crew, indecisiveness for Bren. How can she fit in a normal world with so much anger and darkness in her? Cross loves her “as is” but she does not love herself. This is a journal of Bren’s climb to being “near” normal.
I have mixed feelings!
I mean, I love this series and there was a lot of action, but I wanted a different epilogue. Like more details or maybe we will hear more about it in Nate's book, I am hoping. Perhaps I am just greedy and want more, yes that is probably it. I just loved it so much!
Purchase if you like books that show strong relationships, integrity and loyalty above all.
Always Crew is an amazing end to the Crew series. It gives us closure for the Wolf Crew and gives us the HEA that we are craving. I have already read it twice and starting the Crew series again because Tijan always includes things that I don't see the first time through for her characters. I always find more details when I read again for better context. Purchase if you like darker romance where the good guys win and show strong relationships, integrity and loyalty above all.
Good!
I'm in love with Cross. It's SO wrong, though. I enjoyed this series though! I really do enjoy this author. Great conclusion to an entertaining series!
So good I didn’t want it to end
I’m going to miss this Crew series. It’s a great addition to Fallen Crest. Now I have to wait for Nate. I’d love to see a continuation of this series for Jordan and Zellman. If you’re thinking about reading this series just do it you won’t regret it.
Amazing
No words to describe how much I liked this series. I loved the Crew, the concept and the characters. I can’t even describe how many times I put it down just to keep it from ending. It’s a must read. Hey Titan, whats next?
Noooooo! It can't be over......
I loved this series and the CREW!! Always CREW! I'm so saddened it's over. Can't wait for Nates book. He's mentioned in this series a few times. I highly recommend this series Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis
SO good!
I genuinely loved this.final crew installment! In fact I think it may be my favorite. Everything was wrapped up so well. But there was all the angst and drama and steaminess you could hope for from Tijan as well. Great series!
Brilliant
Love crew! Crew Forever! Loved this book, love this series! This book was stunning and absolutely one of the best books I have read this summer. Wonderful ending to a wonderful series of books! Forever Crew
Always crew
I have loved the crew series since the start. Bren will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart! Tijan you are a phenomenal writer and story teller. Thank you for bringing this world into ours. I can't wait for me!
4 stars
I was so looking forward to this conclusion to the crew series bren has been my favourite heroine tijan has ever written this book was a mixture of drama and family and all that entails I will always love bren and cross
Great read!
I really enjoyed reading Always Crew. I loved all the characters. This was so good and couldn’t get enough of Bren and Cross. A great ending to their story but hopefully there will be more!
Solid finish
I loved this entire series and this was a solid finish. I really hope to see this group again possibly in another Blaise and Aspen book. I would also love to have a Kess book. Anything Tinan writes I will read!
Great storyline and characters
This was my first Tijan book and wow! I loved the characters and the storyline. Although it is set in high school, and I am waaaay into adulthood, I enjoyed it. I have already downloaded the second book!
I want to cry....
This book was amazing!!! I am so sad that it is over but that ending was amazing and beautiful. I have loved following Brens journey and watching her evolve into an amazing person. All the feels man.
Such a good story
I really loved Bren's growth in the series, as well as Alex. I wish there was more of an "after all the drama" but I still enjoyed it.
Once crew always crew
I enjoyed the ending of the crew series. Seeing their growth and what they went through to get there. Bren especially, she deserves her happy ending
Crew Life Forever
Bittersweet reading the final of this Crew series. It was amazing to see them growing up and moving forward with life but so sad to see it all end. As always Tijan gives us another masterpiece!!!
Definite Page Turner! Tijan doesn't disappoint!
'Always Crew' was phenomenal! Absolutely loved these characters ❤! The entire series was 10☆ for each book! Great work Tijan! Thank you for sharing your great mind with these wonderful stories!!
Bren!
Bren’s always been a bad ass, but man! I loved the extension of the character growth in this story. I sure hope we get more of Crew like we did of Fallen Crest! The Crew gang is AWESOME!
Loved it !!!!!
This book was everything I expected it to be. Tijans writing always pulls me in and never disappoints me. What a great talent to be able to write like this. Can't wait for the next book.💖
3.5 stars.
Ugh the dialogue in this book is adorable. I love all the gooey friendship moments. The drama was not as fun as I wanted it to be, but the tabatha plot twist was good. I love blaise.
Sad it is over
I am so sad to see this series end, but it ended perfectly. This was a hard series. Bren is such a dark and troubled character, but I can't help but love her and Cross.
My favorite of the 3
I loved this book. The growth of the characters. The relationship between the guys and Bren! Cross and Been, so much love. The loyalty...amazing. So ready to read more!
Absolutely loved it!!!
This series was amazing. I couldn't put it down. This crew was beautiful together. I loved the way they grew as the books continued. I still want more. Must read series!!!
Love the series
Love the whole series. You get into the whole story line and the characters and are ready to grab the next book!
Fabulous ending
I loved the complex relationships between the characters in this book. I recommend all books by this author. I love how her characters are so brokenly unbroken.
Another
stellar novel from Tijan. And I loved seeing more of Blaise and Aspen! And watching Cross and Blaise’s relationship develop.
Love Bren & Cross
Can't believe this is over! Everyone grows up and matures. Happy that we got to see the crew evolve. Another great ending. Always crew.
Awesome book
OMG I love this book sorry to see it end I hope we get Taz story too I have read all of Tijans books and love them all cant wait for the next series
Wow
I hate to see them go. This book was a very good ending. Loved it. Hope we maybe see a short with all of them in it just to see more about how they turned out.
Loved this book!!
I'm so sad this series is over. I want, no I need more!!! One of the best books I've read in a while and sorry this series is over.
Five Stars for Bren
Once again Tijan has given us her best! I’m sad to see Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman go but have really loved their story.
Crew Always and Forever!!
This book.. these characters.. they will forever be some of my favorites. Thank you for a AMAZING series! Cross and Bren ♥️
Best Book of the year
Man, I cannot believe this series is over. I love Bren and Cross so much - especially Bren. This series is one of the best I’ve read in my life because it makes me actually FEEL something. These book changed my life.
Fantastic Book!
This book was fantastic! Tijan did it again to say the least. Too bad it is the final book in the series because I have fallen in love with these characters and hate to see their books end, but I guess I can always go back and read them again, and again, and again, and again......
Bitter sweet
Love these books & its crew. I'm sad it's over. This author is amazing. Every books of hers I've read, I've loved.
Great read!
Another fun and endearing chapter in this entertaining Crew series!! This has such a perfect ending and well thought out storyline!
Love
Love all these books! Going to miss the crew!
Another fantastic series
Amazing story telling, you really love the characters. Making my way through every book. I cant enough of fc story
Love love love it!
She did it again. Great book. Great writing. Great story. ITS A MUST BUY! You will not be disappointed at all.
Amazing as always
Titan did it again!! I devoured this book in a day and was said it was over!! I can't wait for the next Tijab creation!
I will miss them all!
I fell in love with every character! I cried and laughed. Tijan is amazing! Like Fallen Crest, it’s so hard to say goodbye! I didn’t wan it to end!!
Awesome
Great story
Great Book
3.5/5.0 Very nice conclusion to an enthralling series. There isn’t a lot that is different from the previous stories. In fact, it is kind of same ol’, same ol’ through most of it. Bren’s darkness is just unnecessarily heavy at this point and for no real reason. So the enlightenment that Bren really needs for closure to continue her life happy makes the story well worth the read.
Amazing!
Fantastic read yet again! But I need more Cross and Bren love! Their story would be awesome as a movie!
Good ending
This was a good ending to the crew series. I really enjoyed the epilogue, and I'm excited to read more by this author.
Ok ending
Although I like the series I was very disappointed with its ending. I don't like how Tazmin was included through pointless emails that I feel didn't contribute to the story. I expected more depth from Zeke and I was not at all satisfied with Zellman's lack of life ambitions and lack of happiness. I feel like his story was weak. I'm also not happy with Channing's lack of involvement in Bren's life. What happened with Race and Taz? Drake and Sunday? Heather and Channing? So many things were left unsaid!!
I gonna miss this crew
I have fallen in love with them and now it’s the end! I’m a proud parent they’ve came such a long way!
Great book but bad grammar
Tijan is terrific and the book was a great end to the series. However the book needed a big edit. There were a lot of grammar mistakes....wrong tenses, awkward sentences etc. There were times I had to reread sentences because it was hard to figure out who the subject was since the he\she did not refer to the most recent noun. A great book but really needed a good edit.
I will always be crew
You just got to love Tijan, and the crew series is fantastic. We will se growth with all the crew members, but the road there isn't easy and there will be some dark times and hard decisions. Don't wait - read it!
Love it
I loved the the crew books!!! I really hope there will be a forth one.
Another good one
This was another good story to add to an already great series. I look forward to reading the next book that Author Tijan releases.
Wow!
Perfect ending to this series! Loved reading Bren and Cross’s story while getting the other point of views! So sad to see it end,
The perfect closure to a perfect series! I'll miss them with all my heart 🖤
I can't believe that this book is the end of the Crew series... I loooove how Tijan usually can't say goodbye to her characters either, and with luck, she will miss them at much as I will, and then she'll write more books about them, and I don't have to cry anymore... *Dreamy eyes* Back to present... This book is the perfect conclusion for Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman's story... Because this isn't just a Romance of a couple's love story... This is the story of the Wolf Crew. This is the story of a soulmate. This is the story of a broken girl learning how to live, and share her life, and to love and to be loved. This is the story of a broken family... And the story of a chosen family... A family not made by blood, but by loyalty, love, respect and protection. 📌 We were Crew, and because of that, they'd been in the darkness with me. We formed out of necessity, and then that bond strengthened into a vow of family.📌 In this book our Crew is starting a new life at Cain, all our boys doing their college things, and Bren trying to figure it out what's next in her adulthood's status. Their life is getting into normalcy, until it isn't anymore, and new issues comes to ruin their peace. As always, I'll not ruin someone else experience by dropping some spoilers, BUT I have to say that this conclusion is perfect in every single page! I could see the evolution of them. I could see their fears, their rage, their doubts, their loyalty, their protection and their love... OMG so much love with this group... 📌 These people were my family. I would die for them, and they'd do the same.📌 It was a pleasure to read this book not only with POV's of Cross and Bren, but also with one chapter from Jordan and one from Zellman, and was really good to be inside their head at least for a little bit, to know how they really feel, and again, I'm not disappointed at all! I wanted to punch Blaise right in the face, just for been a prick with his brother, and then hug him until he could feel all the love that he had around him. I loved how their brotherhood grew up, without any of them take notice. This book was so exciting and full of action, that I finished in 2 days, and now I'm with a hangover and bags under my eyes! But it soooo worth it! I just loved everything! Not a single complaining! This book is how authors should close their series... With not only a HEA, but with closure to all our beloved characters. I'll miss them with all my heart, but I'm really happy with how it ended.
4.5 stars for this entertaining read
The author has this incredible ability to create characters that are uniquely complex, flawed, and real. I have become so invested in these characters and their stories that it is a tad bittersweet that the series is over. That being said, the journey the author takes the reader on is remarkable and she truly does them all justice. This book is predominantly told from Bren’s POV, but there are a few chapters from Cross and even Zellman & Jordan which I loved. As with the previous two books, it took me a minute to re-warm up to Bren as she is abrasive at times and occasionally too quick to spring into action. She has her flaws, but she also had this deep seated loyalty and all encompassing love towards her crew which is what endeared her to me. She has greatly evolved as a character and that is even more visible in this novel. Cross remains a steadfast boyfriend who just “gets” Bren. He truly knows her, perhaps even better than she knows herself. Zellman and Jordan are still two of my favorite characters and it was wonderful that we got to see a lot more of them in this book. While Bren is the main heroine in Always Crew, the supporting characters are all entertaining in their own right and have their own place in the developing story. That is one the things that makes this series so exceptional - the intriguing dynamic that occurs between Bren and her crew as well as with some of the others present in the book. Some relationships fall apart. Some become stronger. And some are newly forged. Having read this book in one sitting, I can tell you that this engaging book moves at a great pace and will definitely capture your attention. The author skillfully weaves together a story full of emotion, action, heat, and some intriguing revelations. One thing that is apparent after all this time, is that while high school is over and that some things change, they will always be crew. Note: Always Crew is the third and final book in the Crew series. Crew & Crew Princess must be read first. This series is a standalone, but there are a few characters that the reader will recognize from other books, especially Blaise and Aspen from Rick Prick. I voluntarily read an early version of this book. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
Wow! What an epic ending to this fabulous series!!

Every single book I have read from her I literally read the first page, I’m hooked and can’t put the book down until I finish it! Always Crew was no exception to this! ♦️ When Crew Princess ended and we found out the Bren’s dad got out of jail I had a million of questions running through my mind of what was going to happen between Bren, Channing, and their dad. Reading actually what goes down with their dad kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and wanting more and more! ♦️ Throughout this whole series we really see Bren grow as a person and see how strong her relationship with Cross is! I love how much her crew cares about her and is always there for her even before she realizes she is going to need them. With Bren’s new job and her relationship with Channing going well you definitely don’t want to miss the drama and action that unfolds! We also got to see Cross and Blaise’s relationship grow and see how Bren and Aspen help their men! ♦️ I never wanted this story to end but this was such an epic ending to a fabulous series! I love this world that Tijan has created and maybe in the future we will see more books from it!! Thank you Tijan for this awesome series and creating this world that so many love!!
This deserves All the stars!
This is everything that us Tijan fans love, and more. I will happily read this one again at some point. I had soo many warm and gooey moments with this book, not to mention the storyline kept me well attached, I wish I had some uninterrupted days to read and savour this in one go. Bren was beautiful. She was trying life at this ‘normal’ thing and working out where her place was. But she still had emotional traumas to deal with and overcome. She also knew that she didn’t want to go dark again but wasn’t ready to let that part of her go and with good reason. Cross was a gem. This guy is so in love with his woman and very empathetic to her needs, which is exactly what Bren needs because she doesn’t always understand her emotions. Jordan and Zellman were brilliant. These guys had her back always. They loved Bren like family and would do anything for her. They had their own challenges working through their own love lives but they had their best mates beside them supporting them along the way. The biggest thing I get from Tijan’s books are the feelings of family. That anyone can be your family, it’s who you trust and love, it’s who has your back and who looks out for you. And this is what I love about her books. And her sense of humour, I love the bit of dark and light humour throughout her books.
Crew Member For Life
Finishing this book is such a bittersweet moment as it's the last Crew book. I feel quite bereft it's like the cool kids have all left for college and I'm the one left behind living on their reputations and memories. The last book takes place in Cain where the boys have moved to attend University. Bren is struggling to find her place but when it finds her it is the most perfect solution and fits her to a T. It was great to see Cross and the guys settle into Uni life, no hassles no drama .... yeah right. The plan may have been to leave it all behind but when Bren's past collides with their new lives you know the Crew is going to have her back. The story is action packed with new characters and some we have grown to love over the series. I always liked Channing but my crush has gone through the roof now, his love for Bren is front and center. Lets just say you will have to go through the Crew and Channing to get to Bren. We see how all the guys have grown and matured over the years. There are plenty of twists and surprises along the way of this fast paced installment. So now it's over I'll be here saying yeah I knew Bren,Cross, Jordan and Zellman back in the day.
Twists and Crew Growing Up!
Always Crew! Boy, did I miss Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman. Lots of twists and action. Bren stayed true to her feisty, kickass self. Cross gave her everything she needed and more. Jordan and Zellman threw me for a loop as always. But...I loved the loyalty and family of Crew. No matter who or what was thrown at them....Crew always comes first. And Blaise! How I loved and missed you as well. So many good scenes filled with angst and emotional heart tugs where the guys and Bren’s bond pulls everyone together and grounds them again. Crew is maturing. Trying to adult. This story was the perfect ending. Healing and happiness.
The perfect conclusion to this series!
My heart aches knowing this is the end of the Crew series. I love Cross and Bren's journey together. I felt their strength and united front to tackle what ever came their way. Jordan and Zellman stole my heart with their unconditional love for Bren and for their Crew. Its hard not to get emotionally involved with these characters and feel everything so immensely. Tijan crafts an intricate world and pulls you in so deep that you're drowning in it but then brings you back to the surface greedy for the reprieve. I'm not here to give any of this story away, you have to read this series from the beginning and take everything in that this author gives you. I can't rave enough about this series, so beautifully written and intoxicating.
College just got a little more interesting!
My heart is content but my soul is sad! I am not ready to say goodbye to this “crew”! I have this huge LOVE for Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman! Their friendship and loyalty to one another is beautiful and I was hooked on their journey from day 1! Coming full circle and seeing their journey end has me on an emotional roller coaster! Tijan did a beautiful job wrapping up their stories and brining is the ending this crew deserves! I will forever miss them but I know a reread of the entire series is coming because I know I can’t stay away for too long!
One Final Fight
Alway Crew is the epic conclusion to yet another captivating series by Tijan. At the heart of this story is pure love and friendship. Bren and the Crew are back for their final installment and they bring all the feels with this conclusion. The guys are in college at Cain U and Bren has been bouncing from job to job trying to find herself. Channing hooks her up with a position with a bounty hunting crew, which happens to be the perfect fit for our girl. A little danger some fighting, a group of badasses, it’s a win-win. Unfortunately it's not that smooth a sailing. With the move to college, the Crew is changing. They seem to be settling down. They aren’t out looking for fights and focusing on school. Unlike in the past stories, it's not Bren’s family issues taking the forefront of the story. Yes, it does play a role, but it is not the main focus. Zellman’s drama is the main catalyst of the story with a mix of Bren’s thrown in. As expected the bad guys and drama has been elevated from high school levels. For the first time in the series, the crew is not together as a unit the whole story. There is some branching off to focus on their own individual stuff for a bit. Yet, the tie that holds them together never loosens. Especially Bren and Cross, these two never once falter in their devotion to one another. They are so linked to one another. I love that Tijan didn’t create any drama between these two just for the sake of it. The characters grow so much in this story. Bren is facing her problems head on and making friends outside of her crew. Cross and Blaise have their ups and downs but actually talk to one another in this story. Zellman and Jordan both have their own lady drama, they each step up for. Always Crew is everything I have come to expect from Tijan’s writing, just amplified. I could feel Zellman’s anger, Bren’s darkness, the fierce protectiveness of Cross and Jordan’s soft heart, while reading. There is a reappearance of some old and familiar faces, all kinds of drama, some unbelievable sexy times, a few lol moments.
Fantastic conclusion to the Wolf Crew
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Cross and Bren...and the rest of the Wolf Crew....LOVE THEM!!! I feel like Cross is the type of man that every woman should hope to have in their life. What every man should strive to be in his woman's life. He is protective, possessive, loyal, fierce, HOT, knows his way around her body, has her back, will defend her at the drop of a hat, but also knows to give her a chance to handle it, knows when to back off and give space, but always when to be in her face because she's had enough space and needs to deal what is going on. This whole series focused on the members of Wolf Crew...in particular to Cross and Bren, and even more in particular to Bren. Throughout the series she showed great growth. Definitely a coming of age, finding yourself series for her. And Tijan wrote this brilliantly! I loved Bren!! This installment of this series was truly amazing! This series was fantastic! I think each book was better than the one before!! Always Crew is the conclusion to the Crew series by Tijan. You MUST read Crew and Crew Princess prior to reading Always Crew...it is a continuation series. There is a little crossover of characters from other books within the Fallen Crest and Russou world, but nothing that you HAVE to read in order to know what is truly going on . Do I recommend reading them anyways?? well, yes, I most certainly do (especially Rich Prick)...but you'll be able to follow along well enough if you don't. if you do choose to read Rich Prick...and want timeline to work well, throw it in between Crew Princess and Always Crew.
A fantastic finale!
WHOA! What a conclusion to an incredible series! I have loved the Wolf Crew since the very beginning, and I am so sad that their story has come to an end. Bren and Cross have become one of my most favorite Tijan couples. Individually and as a couple, they have grown immensely. I have loved feeling like I have been a part of their journey. The storyline, the suspense, the heat... the twist! Gah, it was SO good! I highly recommend!
I am a little sad it’s over, but I couldn’t love this ending more!! 😍🔥😍
Tijan slayed this book! I mean Slayed it!! I have loved this series from the very beginning. From the first book of this series to the very last word of Always Crew I have been enamored by the complexity of these characters. Always Crew picked up where Crew Princess left off. That shocking spot that left us all breathless going WTF?!?! Always Crew also starts by showing us our beloved Crew in a more grown up light because they are all off to college, well... most of them are. They are maturing. Things are changing for our Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman, they are changing. Bren remains the most Bren-like when she finds herself struggling not to go back to being like the dark Bren she’s tried so hard to get away from, from being known as. When she is forced to face the past. Cross and the guys are right there doing everything they can as always to bring Bren back from the brink of that darkness. This book is still full of all the action and suspense we’ve come to love and expect from our crew. So much happens and I’m gonna to be vague because I don’t want to give too much away so you can enjoy it like I did. It’s got the angst and the sex. But we also get a feel of Bren's internal battles. She’s wondering just where she’s gonna fit in this new grown up world when her goals are not quite the same as the guys who are focused on school and the activities surrounding it. I love the way they find a way to make it work though. I love this crew BIG, their commitment to each other, their little family dynamic. From the new to old characters that made appearances all of it added up to make this ending a perfect wrap up to an amazing series. It’s bittersweet for me. I hate to see it end. But I’m so happy with the way she bundled up what everyone’s future looks like. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, no matter where life takes them or how many miles might be between them. One thing will remain true now and forever and that’s Crew First, Always Crew! *I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book! My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- I am such a fan of Tijan. I know if she comes out with a new book, I’m going to devour it! This was no exception. It was hot, full of suspense. Lies, secrets revealed the banter was sarcastic and funny. The flow was perfect and it had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥- Cross and Bren were hella hot! There was plenty of scorching hot scenes. I loved it!! There was plenty of love in them but it was like makin’ “dirty dirty love” HOLY MOLY! 🌪Cliffhanger Warning-🌪🌪HEA!! Oh my heart y’all! I love this ending so much!
A fitting conclusion to a great series.
Ever get a book that you couldn't wait to start but also didn't want to start because you weren't ready to part with the characters inside? That's how I felt before starting Always Crew. I've been waiting for this book since the end of Crew Princess. I just wasn't sure how Tijan would be able to wrap up a series this epic in three books. I mean, Fallen Crest High took seven books and I am not complaining about that AT ALL. I was scared three books wasn't enough to do Bren and the boys justice. I didn't need to worry. Always Crew was action packed and tidied things up in a way I completely approved of. Always Crew was a smart conclusion to the Wolf Crew's journey. Bren had already started to mature and grow through the first two books, but she accepted herself and moved forward in this final installment. Bren was smarter and more even in this book. Her inner, negative thoughts didn't feel as redundant. I loved how that affected her relationships with Cross, Jordan, Zellman, and even Channing. Cross, Jordan, and Zellman truly shined in this one. I felt like I got to know them better than I ever had before. I definitely appreciated their characters more than I have. Well, maybe not Cross. I've liked that guy from book one. The stuff going through Cross' mind in relationship to Bren was even more swoony, though. Moving the story from Roussou to Cain U brought some new characters to the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the people who ended up surrounding Bren. Her man Cross and their friends Jordan and Zellman were just as close as always, but the new additions added more excitement. Bren's budding friendship with Aspen (as in Blaise's girlfriend from Rich Prick) was fun because not only do I love Aspen, but Aspen's college friends were entertaining. Then, there was Bren's new co-workers. Hawk was badass and Bonbon... Well, Bonbon was one of a kind goodness. The drama was also perfect in this book. The bad guys (because you know there have be some) and their badness made for some interesting twists and turns. I want to say more about it, but I can't. So...This would probably be time to end things and say how sad I am that this series is over. I'm hoping that this isn't the last that we're going to see of the Wolf Crew. Maybe they will pop up in other places and stories like Tijan is known to do with her other characters from time to time? Maybe some of the characters from this book will get their own story? I can surely hope.
This crew will always be my crew!
“Ride or die. It’s how we always have been.” I’m just a girl with an incurable Crew crush, basking in the biggest emotional book coma from Always Crew, the end to an EPIC SERIES!!!! This romance BLEEDS LOVE and LIFE, and you can't help but feel it word-for-word and cover-to-cover. Always Crew is the perfect fusion of tender and tough ... an adventure ... an adrenaline rush. Tijan SLAYED this story and series, delivering another heart-thrashing thriller of a love story with raw and compelling characters that felt like family. This crew was my crew too! I couldn’t love these characters and their powerful journey enough. In August 2018, Crew held me and my heart hostage, a force of a tale that quickly capitulated me where I fell instantly for Bren and Cross—their love story—and their crew. Friends to lovers and always soulmates. Bren became the Crew Princess surrounded by her princes. Two years later, the crew has evolved but remained Always Crew—growing stronger and wiser, where the princess is now a queen along with her kings ... always there for each other ... always ride or die ... always family ... always crew. A bit dark, a bit dangerous, and ALL THE DELICIOUS FEELS, Always Crew is an adventure that I felt with my heart. I felt this series from the very first line in Crew to the last line in Always Crew. I was UNEQUIVOCALLY OWNED, as I reveled in the free fall I took into the heart-hitting words where I never stopped feeling this series from Crew to Crew Princess to Always Crew. What a perfect finale to an epic series about friendship, forever love, and the feeling that your crew always has your back. I’m not ready to let Bren, Cross, Jordan, Zellman, Blaise, Channing, and the rest of these characters go. This crew crush will never go away! Always Crew, the perfect title for the story and series that will stay with me forever. I couldn’t love this story and series enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ride or die stars
Crew will always be Crew
I did not want it to end, this is a series I love, by an author I just read anything she writes no blurb needed. It was perfect, this was the great ending to it but I am in denial, I need more and more. I can't depart from this world created by Tijan that started in Fallen Crest High. I love each character, in this case, we have Jordan, Zellman, Bren, and my beloved Cross. Brilliant 5 stars Crew will always be Crew!
Crew..the chosen family
The depth of the Wolf Crew has always fascinated me. They are not a gang. They refer to themselves as family. But I don't feel like that's accurate either. They are tighter than any family I have ever known. There is no question that they are, and will always be, there for each other no matter what. That they truly love each other. There is no doubt that they would take a bullet for one another. Maybe this depth of a connection is what comes from you having your Chosen Family. I feel like, in this book, Tijan did an amazing job really showing that bond between Bren, Cross, Jordan, and Zellman. Yes, much of the story line revolves around Bren, and how Cross is there for her. But there are some amazing, touching, moments with Zellman and Jordan as well. Always Crew is about Bren's growth. The guys are in college. They have chosen a future and moving into that future. Bren is like many 18 year olds who are not sure what they want to do with their life. Her torrid past has made her feel unworthy of the type of future the guys are seeking. But as she witnesses their college life she starts to feel left behind, jealous, confused. Bren is seeking the type of peace that comes with knowing, not what you want to be, but who you want to be. And all of that sounds like a typical, boring, coming of age book...but then you need to throw in the very dangerous Motorcycle Club, extortion, secretive bounty hunters, rich prick fraternity, Bren's father, Channing and you have the perfect Tijan recipe for a page turning book. Oh and don't forget about the steam factor with Cross and Bren. So Tijan...I am going to need a spin off with Hawk and Brock...😘
Loyalty.
“This is my crew.” Just like that. That’s all he said, but his sentiment was noted. Crew came first. Always.” An epic conclusion to this darker world within the FC series. Tijan is a Unicorn author for me and she did it again with this read! Loyalty. That’s what it means to be in the Wolf Crew. Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman have each other’s backs no matter the enemy. They will always protect and defend from anyone outside their crew. In this final book of the series they are now at Cain U and trying to find their place and grow while dealing with old and new enemies. Several characters and moving parts however Tijans writing makes it flow effortlessly. She also writes these character that stay true to their core while figuring out their future. Bren is one of my favorite characters of hers. She is strong, tough, resilient, loyal, and always trying to be better. Cross is an amazing Hero and is the perfect match for her. I’m going to miss this Crew world however I hope we will get to see glimpses of them within the Fallen Crest world books. Fast paced, action, secrets and drama will have you on edge and turning the pages. Wolf crew “When you become one of us, you have to agree to three oaths.” “Three?” “Three. The first, will you treat us as family?” “Yes.” Without hesitation, without regret, without a doubt—yes. “Will you fight for us as you’d have us fight for you?” Another yes—no question, thought, or fear. “And the last, will you forgive as if we’re one person?” I had said yes.” ~ from Book 1 ~ Crew
Epic series !
This is the third and final book in the crew series and it picks up right where Crew Princess leaves off.. Honestly there’s a shocker right in the beginning .. The crew is all living together by Cain University.. Bren has a new Job and it is a mystery and a challenge all in itself.. while she’s trying to find herself and deal with her demons from her past... she remains loyal to crew and her love for Cross is stronger than ever.. she has grown up so much.. she has changed from the angry closed off teenager we first met in Crew.. her relationship with Channing has also continued to grow and is so much more stronger.. Cross, he’s navigating through quite a bit.. college, crew, Blaise and Bren.. he’s the honest leader of the crew and it shows through out the book. While he remains loyal to crew, he without a doubt will always put Bren first. Jordan, he has his own demons he’s dealing with, he’s struggling throughout the book with something and he obviously blames himself for.. he was always portrayed as the leader but it’s clear even to him that Cross and Bren are the glue.. honestly I didn’t care for him much until this book.. Zellman, he’s got a lot more to say in this book which is awesome cause he didn’t in the past . He is dealing with his own stuff with Sunday but he’s still loyal to crew and he’s actually a pretty charming guy .. I love how the book comes together and the ending was perfect .. I’m sad it’s over but maybe not who knows right? Thank you Tijan for an amazing series.. I can’t wait to see where you take us next ..
5 ride or die stars!
Yet another belter from Tijan as we’re whipped once again into the world that is Cross, Bren, Jordan and Zellman! Always Crew is book 3 of the crew series and needs to be read in order to fully understand what’s going on. Ride or Die, that’s how the wolf crew role. They’re family and family comes before anything and everything. I won’t go into the storyline too much because I don’t want to spoil anything. This book should be read with absolutely no spoilers so you can read it’s full potential. This third book not only focuses on Bren and Cross but also more on Jordan and what he’s had to go through and Zellman and his problems. It’s been great getting to know those two more and being more involved in their stories. In this book we’re given more than we could possibly expect. Just when you think things can’t possibly get worse Tijan goes and throws in another twist that leaves you with your mouth hanging open and questioning wtf just happened. The bond between Bren and Cross is Unbreakable, incredible. The bond between all four crew members is infinite and it truly shows in Always Crew. These four are seriously tested in this book and it’s fun getting to see just how far one can be pushed. Always Crew is the third and final book in the crew series and what an ending. Tijan closed this serious off with a BANG! It was beautiful, heartbreaking and gasp inducing.
Great ending to this series, will be missed
I enjoyed this last book of the series. I loved how many of the characters that we’ve cared about all this time we’re in this last part, Blaise, Aspen, Channing and Heather. It was neat getting to meet some new people, I like that Wren started Bounty hunting. I liked how many different storylines were going in and intersecting with one another throughout the whole book. There was only one time during the story that bothered me, it was when Wren freaked out and did something to her dad, I thought to myself she really needs some more therapy, I just thought it felt like she took so many steps backwards when she was really maturing and doing better. Luckily that was only a little fraction of the book. The rest of the story I enjoyed so much, of course the loyalty, the friendships, the love between friends, siblings, Crew, Wren and Cross was great as ever. I really liked that Cross and Blaise finally got a little closer. I liked that Wren finally had some good female friends. It was nice getting to see where everyone was in the end. The ending was perfect.
4.5 Stars!!
Fantastic conclusion of the Crew series! I have loved Bren and Cross since the start of this series and love them even more after reading this book! They love each other fiercely and you can't help but want what they have. In previous books, the 4 members of Wolf Crew were almost inseparable. In Always Crew, they each branched out a little. Deciding what they wanted to do for themselves and having somewhat of their own lives but also still remaining just as close and just as loyal to each other. You can't help but respect the bond that they share and how no matter what, they are always there for each other without question. But along with branching out, they also grew as individuals (especially Bren). Bren started becoming the best version of herself, no longer hiding behind the damage inside of her. She allowed some of her walls to be stripped away and then allowed others in. Throughout this book, she became stronger than ever before. Cross also grew, not just himself but in his relationship with Blaise. And it was great seeing Blaise and Aspen in this book... I just wish we had Nate too! (I'm dying for his book!) And of course there was the perfect amount of angst and surprises. You get pieces of a puzzle, trying to figure out what's going on right along side the characters. Can't wait to see bits of these guys throughout any other books that come out of their world. Until then, i will miss them dearly!
EPIC.
5 Stars from Brianna! Tijan is back with the final book in the Crew series and y'all, I was here for every. single. word. and every. single. moment. Always Crew is the third in this series and the last for this crew and I have to admit, it was crazy hard to say goodbye this time. Just like the Fallen Crest crew, I truly don't want to EVER say goodbye to them I'm in so deep. Cross, Bren, Zellman, and Jordan are back along with so many others that had me giddy and got my panties a little wet. **oopsie** This crew didn't disappoint their last go round in the books and whew they gave my heart a run for its money in just about every moment they had plus that ending. **all the heart eyes** Twists, turns, suspense, action packed from cover to cover, all the heat, all the feels, and all the heart in the very best ways. .. these core four plus everyone else that stole a piece of me along the way (and in their own books-journeys) gave everything they had and I devoured every single thing they gave. Tijan is the QUEEN of what she does and I'm keeping my fingers (and toes!) crossed that we get more of THIS CREW in the future, someway somehow. Oh, and an absolute MUST READ. I HIGHLY recommend this series.
Final Book!!
I don't if I am ready to say goodbye the Crew peeps. I kinda grew attached to them a bit. I was getting used to them but when it's time to say goodbye, then it is. The Crew is finally growing up but trouble always finds them, especially Bren's case. Bren has thought that everything is finally settled but she is going to find out that her past will come back to her. And it's going to be up to her to figure it out. Everyone in the crew is settled with college except for Bren. She might not know what she might be doing her life but who does. At eighteen, everything is a mystery and it's up to you to figure out what you want to do. And that's what Bren is going to do when she works for a PI firm. It's different from before but it allows her to do something on her own. It will definitely help her when her past comes back to the present. It's going to be a bit difficult this time around. But I know that Bren and the rest of Crew can handle it. Plus, there are a few new characters around that may be interesting.
Epic conclusion to an amazing series!!
• 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 • 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: Always Crew 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Tijan 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: ☆☆☆☆☆ 5/5 What a amazing ending to this series, however, I somehow wish there was more. I’ll definitely be rereading this series. And those easter eggs, so many hints to a possible book (that I want very much, but I can’t say more) and I loved seeing more from characters like Channing, Blaise and Aspen. I like how this last book in the series took the time to find out what Bren actually wants to do and how to deal with her inner demons. And I loved loved loved that we had a chapter from Zellman and Jordan their POV. I also loved how their relationship with each other is developed together as a crew; as a family. There still was a lot of angst and mystery in this book and more importantly it kept me surprised. This series as a whole, I can definitely recommend to readers who love angst and a strong female lead, trying to find her way in life and mend the broken pieces.
Entertaining, sexy, college drama
What can I say? Bren Monroe, she is sooooo cool. I didn’t think I could love Bren and Cross any more after Crew, and then Crew Princess. How wrong I was. Through everything they endure (and let me tell you, there’s a lot of surprises, both good and bad), they are Always Crew. They always have each other’s back, they know each other’s thoughts, and the chemistry between them is palpable. The story builds slowly and comes together with lots of drama involving the Red Demons MC, Cain University frat students and a whole group of bounty hunters. This is so much more than a college drama/romance, it’s suspense, it’s family, and it’s about finding your place in this mixed up crazy world. As with anything Tijan, the writing is spot on, the storyline is entertaining and completely addictive. I listened to the audio version, and let me tell you Therese Plummer and Stephen Dexter nailed it. Passionate and truly expressive. I loved it,
MUST READ!
OMG. What an ending to such an epic series! Tijan never disappoints and she definitely didn't here either. This book was hands down my favorite of the Crew series. I love Bren and Cross so much and the rest of the gang. Reading this book gave me all the feels and left my heart feeling so full and happy. The journey Bren has been on was not easy and she has been through so much in her short life, but it has made her so strong and shaped who she became. Out of everyone I think Bren has grown and evolved so much and really came into her own here. Honestly, I feel proud. And Cross, he is just straight up PERFECTION. The love he has for Bren is out of this world. Not to mention the man is absolutely SWOON WORTHY! Trust me, you need this book in your life. You can thank me later. Always Crew is book 3 of the Crew series, books 1 and 2 have to be read first. Crew (book 1) Crew Princess (book 2) Always Crew (book 3)
I love this series! Tijan rocks!!!!
Always Crew by Tijan Loyalty that makes your heart swell...that’s what Tijan writes. It’s what I’ve come to expect and get excited about when a new Fallen Crest book is released. Always Crew didn’t disappoint. I honestly think I’m addicted to to Tijan’s style of writing. I literally start twitching if there is to much time between books, and this one was so good that I needed more and went back to re read from the beginning. Hi, my name is a Michelle and I’m a Tijanaholic...but I don’t want to be cured! If you’re reading this book...you know the drill. It’s all about the Wolfe Crew. Bren and Cross, I love them with my whole heart along with Zellman and Jordan. This is a five star read, and a definite re read a some point. Tijan...you’re awesome! You rock! The world you’ve created gave me a mental vacation amidst the craziness that this Corona world has become, and I love you for it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wolf crew forever so hard to say goodbye
The loyalty these characters have for each other is a bond that some never find. Wolf crew is ride or die, they bleed together. Cross, Zellman, and Jordan are enjoying there freshman year at Cain, while Bren is trying to find her place without them. Bren is a badass, she's feisty and wears her heart on her sleeve for her wolf crew. Bren is a fighter she has had it rough but once she finds her place there’s no stopping her. Always Crew has shown me how they are all growing up and the bond they share is stronger than ever. Always Crew was everything I expected and more. Tijan has a way of intertwining her characters in crossovers which never gets old. If you haven’t read this series I suggest you need it asap. What an epic ending it’s worth rereading. Always Crew is intense, angsty, and has some bittersweet moments if you can believe that!
The Perfect Ending
4.5 Stars Always Crew is the final book in the Crew series, and all books must be read in order! I loved the first 2 books in this series, and have been impatiently waiting for more of the Wolf Crew since that crazy cliffhanger in Crew Princess. And while I had a lot of theories on how this book would go, the direction it took was very surprising. While this whole series has been pretty heavy, I think this one might have been the angstiest. Emotions are extremely high, and while Bren continued to be the focus I loved how Cross, Jordan & Zellman each got their time to shine and we were able to delve deeper into each. I now love these characters even more, and while I was really excited for some favorite returning characters I also really enjoyed the introductions of a whole new group. This book did have quite a few moments where I felt like they were just thrown in to fill pages, and was confused as to why they were happening. But everything came together at the end, and while they might not have made sense at the time, each scene had its place and worked out to the perfect ending for these characters and series.
Not at all what I expected, but completely what I needed
Crew has always been one of my favorite books. Bre and Cross are one of my top favorite couples. What was I expecting? More awesome Kick A Bre moves and fights. Did we get this........ technically no. Was Bre still a total Strong woman that I totally have a girl crush on, Yes. Yes, she was. In this book, we get to see more inside All the minds of the Wolf Crew. And I absolutely needed and loved it. We get to see their growth and their need for each other, even while they are all growing up. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see Bre go Alpha Dog. But I realized that her growth and whom she is becoming is so much better than seeing Bre go 'dark'. I dont want this series to end or these characters. I love them all so much flaws and all.
Great ending to the Crew series
3.5 stars for Always Crew by Tijan. I loved Bren so much in this story that concluded the Crew series. Her strength and determination was incredible. I felt like all 3 of the guys stepped up in a big way and proved their dedication to the crew and their willingness to put themselves on the line for the other members. This book had so much drama and so many side story lines going on. At times it felt overly chaotic. This crew seemed to find themselves up against hard situations at just about every turn. I loved the inclusion of Bren's father and his full baggage of issues. The dynamic between Channing, Bren and Dad was painful but needed to be seen. Bren needed to move on from her past. I really enjoyed the whole bounty hunter aspect of the book. I thought it was the perfect avenue for Channing and Bren to both turn their haunting pasts into something good. The perfect outlet for their aggression and anger. I struggled a bit with past characters from previous books making appearances. At times the story was hard to follow due to the length of time between book releases, many details become forgotten. I found myself having to go back to previous books in the series and recap just so I knew who and what took place. I became annoyed very quick with the excessive amount of non verbal communication that was written into this book. So many glances, smirks, penetrating stares, etc. It was like every other paragraph went into great detail of communication that was happening solely with facial expressions and body language. So unrealistic and pretty ridiculous.
Loved it!!!
Tijan did it again! The final installment of the Crew Series was amazing!! I loved reading the different character POV. Bren is a forced to be reckoned with as she always has been. However, Tijan did an excellent job of making her even more relatable. I mean not everyone goes to college, but some still struggle trying to figure out where they fit. Bren goes through this with the other three attending college and loving it. Don’t get me started on her relationship with Cross! Can we say relationship goals?!? Wow, the way that he loves her is so amazing. That’s all I am going to say, I only give reviews for Tijan books, but I like to keep it short. Just go read it! You won’t be disappointed!! Thank you Tijan, you continue to be my all time favorite!!
Wonderful series conclusion!
What a great conclusion to this series! I won't lie it started a little slow for me. But once it picked up and I remembered how much I love these characters it was so amazing. Honestly it was my favorite book in the series. Tijan did such a great job rounding off this series. I loved Bren's growth, don't get me wrong twisty dark Bren was super fun in the previous books. But man she evolved so much. She found her place and it was so perfect for her. I loved the new characters we got to meet. **Would kinda be awesome if a spin off series was made for the bounty hunters**. It was brief but man I was so glad Heather made a cameo. Always Crew was just such a great read for me, anyone who hasn't read these books should most definitely do so. Tijan never disappoints and this was certainly no exception. It would be super awesome if she would give us a Baby/Wedding Crew book/novella down the road
5 Amazing Stars!
Ahhhh! There is nothing I love more than a Tijan story. I have loved the Crew series from the beginning and am so obsessed with the Rousseau world. I absolutely loved this story. I am obsessed with Bren, Cross, Jordan and Zellman and never wanted this series to end! I absolutely fell in love with Bren and Cross from the first book. Their love and chemistry is soul deep and just seeing their evolution and growth has been fantastic to see. More than them though, I loved seeing Bren and Channing's relationship and how much they care for one another. This story came full circle and it has been wonderful to read. I hope we see more of these characters in the future! 5 stars! ~Ratula ❤
4,5 stars!! A great conclusion to an amazing series!
*Blood makes you related but it's loyalty that makes you family* This is the third and final installment of the series and what a ride it has been! I've thoroughly enjoyed Bren & Cross' story but most of all the spirit and sass from Bren that always draws me in. If we all would have a best friend like that, that always has your back, that's definitely worth something more. Bren comes face to face with someone she thought she'd never see again and her world is turned upside down again. With everything going on, nothing is as it seems and when she gets a job to learn to be a bounty hunter, a lot more will be at stake. Through it all, Bren and Cross are stronger than ever and the crew will always back her up in any way. When even more secrets are revealed, a danger is lurking near, there's a choice to be made. Will Bren and her crew come out of it unscathed or are they in over their head?...
Bitter sweet end
I love this crew and did not want to see it end. The story was great though. The ending wrapped everything up nicely. Excellent writing and characters. I love everything by Tijan !!!
Always!
My heart can’t take this ending. Both happy and sad. I need Nate’s book ASAP so I don’t do anything drastic like read every single book from Fallen Crest High to this one.. again... I’m just, yeah.. in need of more. I don’t have the words for this book to do it justice but if you haven’t submerged yourself in this world yet, you definitely need to. So many characters to love and far too many to hate. I love this book world.
Love these characters!!
The epic conclusion of the Wolf Crew. Tijan has created a group of characters that will forever be in my heart. Always Crew was intense, angsty, full of drama and so many twists and turns, you’ll be dizzy by the end of the book. Cross and Bren are absolutely perfect. I love how Bren’s character has developed through this series and across is just mmm... He’s Cross. All in all, this was an amazing ending to this epic series.
A great conclusion
4.5 stars. I loved the conclusion to the Crew spin-off. I love the tight knit characters, the new and the old. I love the sense of family and the closeness, the protectiveness. There’s an openness about this book which is much appreciated. Previously I’ve felt it’s been a little emotional stunted, but here there is a growth that is most definitely welcome. The story has come full circle with this book, and it’s SO satisfying!
Best read of the Summer!!!
This series!!! I have patiently waited for the third and final book of the Crew series and Always Crew did not disappoint!!! Best read of the summer!!! If you haven’t read this series yet, you are missing out. Tijan is a master of words, she spins pure golden magic with her stories and you will never really be able to walk away from these characters. They will forever live on in your hearts!
Always Crew, forever Crew
I received an ARC and I have loved this whole series. As always Tijan knows how to close a series and leave you feeling lonely. I am going to miss them! I really liked direction that Tijan took in this last book she stayed wry true to the characters. Bren’s path is true to her personality and what Bren wants from life as an adult. She was more mature but accepting of herself. I just love Bren! Her and Sam are amazing! While reading the last book I kept thinking how far The Crew has came and what their adult lives will be like. I hope that Tijan will give us little glimpses from time to time. ♥️♥️♥️
Sad to see it end. Must read series!
I often review books and talk about the growth a character experienced (I’m a counselor after all) but I am blown away by this author’s ability to open a character up and show you the trauma and darkness and let them grow in a realistic manner. These characters are so real. And I love them all! Thank you for sharing this world with us!
Epic conclusion for an epic series
This is the conclusion story and ending of the epic series. These books must be read in order! They are not stand alone‘s. Bren and the boys left their home town to go to college. Well the boys are, and she’s looking for a job, and is trying to live a normal life. But it wouldn’t be them to know ‘trouble’ follows them... Twists and turns around corners make this story gripping, intense and emotional. The crew is more than a group of friends, and tighter than family!!! Sad to see them go!!!
Wow
Seriously Tijan just when i think i can’t love the Crew anymore than the last book you blow my mind!! This series has been one of the best series I’ve ever read. Bren and the guys will stick with me forever. The bonds that they have alone is absolutely heart stopping!
The end
This was such a great book. Getting to read about all of these characters again. However, a part of me felt like the last couple chapters were tying up loose ends I didn’t even know I was suppose to have. The epilogues were also confusing. It went from graduating and moving to LA to a bonus of something completely different. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I enjoyed both epilogues just seemed in a backwards order.
Tijan ended this series in a PHENOMENAL fashion!!!
What a PHENOMENAL end to this series!!!! Tijan you have made me completely happy and sad at the same time!!!! I loved this book from start to finish, but I’m sad that this series has ended!!!! Absolutely EXCELLENT book!!!!
Always Crew
What an epic conclusion full of passion and suspense, love and surprises. I am in love with these characters and it is a little bittersweet to see the end. This was a beautiful ending though to an amazing series and I am excited to see what else Tijan has in store for us next.
I love these guys!!
Always Crew sucks you in leaving you wanting more! I love this series. I hope we hear more about them soon. So much happens in this book. It's so worth the read!!
ughhhh crew
I fell in love with their crew and the friendship and love they all had. It got stronger and stronger in each book and really showed how much love each guy had for Bren on the end. The ending was great Cross and Bren deserved the happy every after!!! So sad for it to end not going to lie would love to see maybe a book or short story about Bren and Crosses life in the future.
Wow!
This book was by far one of my favorite books. The characters and their relationships were so detailed. I was so engrossed with the book that sometimes I forget that I was reading a book and not watching a TV show or movie. Great ending
Awesome
I pre ordered this and it was delivered as soon as it published. I refrained from reading it for weeks...it ate at me to read it but I did not want the series to end. Well, finally, I read this awesome story. It was everything I expected and so very much more. I can’t imagine the series ending in any better way. The book is exciting. It gave me all the feels I expected from a Tijan written book. The characters are well developed and the banter between characters is perfection. The only addition would be if Channing and Heather would have had a child. Now...I need Nate’s book... Thanks Tijan for a wonderful series!
GREAT SERIES
I highly recommend this series. It is a great young adults set and it's a great young at heart's set. If you like romance with some excitement then you will like or love these books. They are about a Crew (like a gang only they protect the innocence's), that has many enemies but mainly the Red Demons MC gang. Bren, Cross, Jordan, and Zellman are all in deep trouble due to Bren's father. They are still fighting with past villains and the sub-characters that you have met during the series are all there as well. You find out what happens with Tabatha, Zellman, and Angeline, and who Jordan is seeing. After all the trouble is solved you get to see what happens with Bren and Cross. And Cross is totally HOT. This is a terrific way to end a series where the author ties up all the loose ends for you so you know what happened to your favorite character.
Perfect conclusion!!
„Always Crew” is the third and last installment of „Crew” series written by Tijan. I was waiting for this book a long time and when it came on my Kindle, I knew that it will be a night without sleep. Crew's life is a little more normal. Everything goes fine. Bren is training to be a bounty hunter and all things are good. To this one day, one party. When Jordan heard that his girlfriend was cheating on him. In the short investigation Jordan knows that she wasn't doing this by herself. And this is the spark to something bigger. Crew will be always together. It is a tradition, that with every Tijan's book I don't have a night. Why? Because sleep is for weak people, when you have such a great book to read! Even better when this book is one of the most anticipated read in the year. I have like that with „Always Crew”. Now, when I end Cross and Bren's story I am happy for their HEA. In this book Bren has a „first violin” role. Of course we have here multi POV, but a lot of chapters we can read with Bren. I really like this girl. I wrote it in my previous review, but I can write it again – Bren is a devil. She is a very strong heroine, which I really love. Also Cross aka My Hubby is perfect in this story. He is like koala in lion skin. He can bite you if you are an enemy, but he will be your friend if you are good person. „Always Crew” is a perfect ending for these heroes. I was in this book from the first page until the end and I have no regrets to say „we will see again on reread”. Because all of these series is worth to reread and meet Cross and Crew again.
Omg!!!
This was the perfect ending to this series. Tijan is an amazing storyteller, and this story is no different. Bren is a great leading lady in this series and love the attitude she has. Her and Cross are my fave relationship goals! I recommend and and all of Tijan’s books.
Over female anger issues
I’m over this series. Have been now for a while. I get fed up of a woman character who is unable to control or get help for anger/violence issues, sometimes in this book which are triggered by minute things and then her ‘crews’ attempt to normalise them. Was hoping for a character arc where the characters FINALLY matured a bit, but no such luck.
A must read
Tijan you have done it again ,started the third book and as usual I couldn't put it down ,from start to finish I was on the edge of my seat the crew I love how they are so solid with each other and Bren do love her and cross . With Tijan books you know you are going to sit back and have a fantastic read from start to finish and then u don't want that book to end . Well this series was brilliant it showed you how tight they have come from the beginning and what they would do for each other ,love ,hate ,even die for each other, a must read and last nite Tijan can we a have a fourth book just to read what Bren and cross have and how the gang are .
Meh!
Honestly, I was expecting the Crew Series to hook me like Fallen Crest or Rich Prick or some of Tijan's other books and it just fell flat. I didn't buy into the Cross and Bren relationship at all. I really don't think she developed these characters or their relationship not like Mason & Sam from Fallen Crest or Blaise & Aspen from Rich Prick. It took me ages to read these books and I'm usually a binge reader into the early hours! I also felt like the storylines were a little all over the place and too many going on at once.
Perfect way to wrap up a series
I can't get over this series. I love a stong female character and this is exactly what I'm given. This is book 3 to the Crew series and it wraps the storyline up so neatly. This book starts with their lives fresh out of high school. I really enjoyed watching Bren grow up and navigate her way through the new world outside of her bubble, one where school isn't her safety net. It's real and it's tough, but with her crew, she can make it. Cross is one of my favourite heros froma series and this book I found he played a bit more of a spot light, not sitting back in the side lines - I really loved this. The two together can do anything and I felt it really fitting how it all ended. I highly recommend this book.
Amazing!
Really didn't want this series to end but wow!!! Loved everything about this series and fallen crest. How they are linked together so we get to know all the characters and see their stories unfold. Tijan is outstanding yet again!!!
