Rating: 4.5 starsVERY WICKED BEGINNINGS is the calm before the storm and shows the moment Cuba, star football player and most popular guy at Briarcrest Academy, first laid eyes on Dovey, the scholarship kid from the bad side of town. It is a great introduction to the characters, especially since I did not read the first book in this series, Very Bad Things. Although the characters are juniors/seniors in high school, the author made them act with a certain level of maturity so that I could relate to them, yet still made them young and reckless like most kids their age.The prequel took me by surprise. I thought it was just going to be a quick introduction to Cuba and Dovey, but it was actually the start of their relationship. I loved it! What I enjoyed most was that even though Cuba was a heartbreaker and didn’t do relationships, I got to be inside his head and really understood him. I instantly swooned for him and knew why Dovey was taken by him as well. Although this novella was told from both Cuba and Dovey’s POV, I feel like this was mainly Cuba’s story. I got background information on his family and why he carries so much guilt around with him day in and day out.
