Description

The highly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster—now a major motion picture!

Can you love someone too much?

Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.

In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. But just when he thinks he is invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.

Every story has two sides. In Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it’s time to see the story through Travis’s eyes.

    It’s better than the first book in the series IMO. Only because it’s from Travis’s POV and explains why he’s so crazy and abusive. Don’t get me wrong, I still liked reading it. I don’t know why other than I’m used to dating guys like him. Maybe it’s because I myself am screwed up and want someone to fight for me as much as Travis fights for Abby. Sick I know. The writing isn’t great. Characters are a little more developed/explained than the first book. Trigger warning for those sensitive to abusive, codependent relationships and male on male violence. Lots of misogyny. Still gonna read the next book. And the Maddox brothers series. What can I say?

    There are several grammatical errors in this book. I hate to be the one but I’m only a couple chapters in and it’s disappointing

    I am so confused by the negative reviews on here. It is about the same time period as Beautiful Disaster, so yes, the dialogue and events are the same. However, this gives so much background into Travis, his family and past, his thoughts, etc. It was awesome to read about it from his point of view. Really well written, just like Beautiful Disaster. I can’t wait to read the series about the Maddox Brothers!

    I have the urge to say that, while I’m aware everyone is entitled to their own opinions, most reviews on this book/series confuse me. Before I read them, I skimmed through the reviews on here and most of them were surprisingly negative. Talking about typos and it not being a worthy story and what not, but I disagree. Travis and Abby’s (Pigeon) story is pretty awesome and it felt like I never knew what was going to happen next. The author keeps the reader on their toes, throwing in events that are completely unexpected and at times heart breaking. The author also knows how to throw in good humor, which is a plus/good balance to all the times you feel like crying while reading. The character development was unique in my opinion and the farther you get into the book, you will find that the author does this for a reason. You find out the type of guy Travis is and only a little surface info on Abby, the rest revealing later - which is expected - but who she really is kind of caught me off guard! Over all, the writing is good (even the misspellings other reviews mention-there are not that many) the story is great and I definitely recommend!
  • The exact same book as beautiful disaster.

    Literally the author was SO LAZY that she didn’t even rephrase parts of the book, used same adjectives, etc. V salty i spent the extra $10 on this book. Not worth it. If you’re thinking about buying it, save yourself the money and just reread beautiful disaster.
  • Weird set up

    I literally could not stop reading this book. I cannot describe home much I love this book. Even when it was time to get some sleep, I almost stayed up all night reading. The way Travis loves Abby is so heart warming. I really home to there will be more books of Travis and Abby in the future.
  • Oh Travis!

    First it needs to be established that I love fighters. Walking Disaster is the companion book to Beautiful Disaster. I personally liked Walking Disaster better than Beautiful Disaster. They cover the same time period basically but with insights from the different characters POV. WD is the side of the story from Travis so you find out about his thoughts and emotions and what he was doing when they weren’t together. Also, WD gives an epilogue of their future, which shouldn’t be missed by any Travis Maddox fan. This book is more of a YA read. It does include some sex, bad language and violence but isn’t a full on “Lust in the Dust Book”. I love the underground fights, reminding me of Fight Club. Then throw in a little Las Vegas and the mob. Oh, and he rides a motorcycle which always leads me to thoughts of Jax Teller, yum. And he’s covered it tattoos! Who doesn’t love a sexy muscled fighter with tats? Travis is a walking one-night-stand with a revolving door until he meets Abby. He’s hot fo’shizzle. This book has great supporting characters, some of which will have their own books
