An unforgettable new series from acclaimed author Katie McGarry about taking risks, opening your heart and ending up in a place you never imagined possible Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she’s curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn’t mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both.
Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They’re the good guys. They protect people. They’re…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club’s most respected member—is in town, he’s gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it’s his shot at his dream. What he doesn’t count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down.
No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.

Respect the Rules. Respect the Club.

Being a part of the club means freedom. Freedom from what others dictate for our lives.
“I won’t paint pretty pictures for you. You’ve seen how we live. It’s different, but different doesn’t mean wrong. Society has their view of normal and we have ours.” ~ Oz to Emily, NOWHERE BUT HERE
From the moment Emily steps into Snowflake, Kentucky and into the world of her father’s motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, she feels confined and restricted. She wants to go home. She wants her normal. She feels that the Terror’s way of life is a prison, their rules and restrictions meant to keep her caged. To Oz, on the other hand, the club’s way of life means freedom—to live the life he wants, away from the judgments of others at school or in his town. These two opposing views clash and Emily and Oz learn a lot about each other and themselves in the aftermath.
Katie McGarry was a teenager during the age of grunge and boy bands and remembers those years as the best and worst of her life. She is a lover of music, happy endings, reality television, and is a secret University of Kentucky basketball fan.
Katie is the author of full length YA novels, PUSHING THE LIMITS, DARE YOU TO, CRASH INTO YOU, TAKE ME ON, BREAKING THE RULES, and NOWHERE BUT HERE and the e-novellas, CROSSING THE LINE and RED AT NIGHT. Her debut YA novel, PUSHING THE LIMITS was a 2012 Goodreads Choice Finalist for YA Fiction, a RT Magazine’s 2012 Reviewer’s Choice Awards Nominee for Young Adult Contemporary Novel, a double Rita Finalist, and a 2013 YALSA Top Ten Teen Pick. DARE YOU TO was also a Goodreads Choice Finalist for YA Fiction and won RT Magazine’s Reviewer’s Choice Best Book Award for Young Adult Contemporary fiction in 2013.

Great giveaway!
Thanks…I Love your books
Great cover and very interesting excerpt. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
Impressive cover! I always have a soft spot for bikers.
Thanks for this awesome giveaway!! My favorite YA genre is contemporary romance!
This book sounds fascinating! “Emily” sounds like the “girl next door”, thrown into an opposite world of what she knew…what she grew up with! Very intriguing!!!
I like these type of books where’s there a bad guy 🙂
I never thought of a biker as a love interest. I’m not sure I would like this book but this is a great review.
The synopsis looks very intriguing!!! I would love to read tales of a biker!
Nowhere But Here(Thunder Road Series Book 1) sounds like a very different sort of YA romance and I do hope that it has a happy ending or a cliffhanger that leaves you with a good feeling!
My favorite type of book is one that is gritty and has a good story line and great characters, mostly YA contemporary romance or fantasy books.
I guess I would have to say YA Paranormal.
suspense romance or paranormal romance…really i read mot romance types
This is a book I could really get in to! I always wondered what happens inside a bikers’ club…now I can follow another thought process of a club!!!
Thanks for this post
This book sounds like it would turn out to be a page-turner! Start out Friday night, and not sleep until Monday morning, when I’m finished!!!
Where can I buy this? I really want it. 🙁
Hi Paula – the links to purchase are right under the synopsis and cover image but you can buy it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo & iBooks. Wal-Mart and Target also have the hardback available, if you prefer that to ebook. Hope this helps 🙂
