4.5 Urrrggg,, Javier is such a jackhole! So mad at him, and now I see why Ellie was so broken by the time she reconnected with Camden in Sins and Needles. If you have not read 
 , this review may contain spoilers. 
 On Every Street is a prequel novella to and gives us background on Ellie's time with Javier (who shows up in Sins & Needles) and explains what Javier did to her to make her run from him. But, more importantly we get to know Ellie, known as Eden in OES as she moves into womanhood, and embarks in a relationship that will change her forever. 
 Ellie/Eden is ready to seek her revenge against the person who scarred her when she was a child. Eden is already pretty messed up at this point, her parents are gone and she has no one in her life, save for her Uncle. In her investigation, she begins following a mysterious (and hot) young man that she knows is connected to her biggest enemy. But, as she begins following him, she realizes that she is pulled to him and does not know how to come to terms with that. And, upon finally meeting him, she realizes that he is also attracted to you. 
 Javier is a bad, bad man. He is a hired gun. And, he works for Eden's enemy #1. But, she can't stay away. Javier is a dark person, in more ways than one. He is into kinky sex, and Eden is a virgin when they meet. The passionate relationship that they delve into had a lot of readers screaming Team Javier. But, I am not on that team! He is bad, so bad, and bad for Eden (this is especially evident to me after reading Sins and Needles, and meeting Camden - I could never be Team Javier). But, even I recognize the pull that Eden has towards Javier. Eden is so messed up, she really doesn't know what's good for her. And, in fact, I think she doesn't even believe that she is worth it. This quote is pretty much on par with that statement: 
 "Why am I good to you?" he repeated, his lips brushing against mine as he spoke. "Because I can see you are broken. And I want nothing more than to put you back together." 
 I was drowning again. In his words. In his promises that he never said but I knew he kept." 
 So, I'm not on Team Javier, but so what! Karina Halle weaves such an emotional story, that it really doesn't matter if I love Javier or not. The story is gripping, all the way up to that ending, that even after reading Sins and Needles, is STILL a mystery. But, I'm still hoping Javier gets his (hopefully on behalf of the hot Camden)!
