I kept hearing about these books and how they are so great, so when I received it for my Birthday I dug right in .
And all I can say is that I cannot believe how much I liked this book.
I really should not have loved this book as much as I did and it was like a drug. I couldn’t get enough of it and I pretty much read it in one sitting.
Also like many have mentioned, this book is categorized as YA but it is defiantly more NA than YA and there is no way that I would let my young daughter read it. There is way too many steamy sexy times in it.
I really enjoyed Ella and her semi realistic feel , while she came over as sometimes mean and that she doesn’t care, inside she very much cared and often was understandable scared. But she never showed her fear much to the outside world and stood her ground.
The Royal family is defiantly a mess, while they have more money than they know what to do with they also have many problems. They also come over as huge jerks and it is hard to like the in the beginning, but it is clear early on that that is just a façade they put up. Reed is the same and he is a hard nut to crack and really I did not like him much at all. But he grew on me A LOT.
Though I must say that Easton was my favorite Royal of all and I loved the relationship he build with Ella.
Overall I loved this book. It is dark and yet funny at times and angsty and high school drama, that also will make you swoon. Plus we get plenty of sexy times.
Be prepared for the cliffhanger that will have you asking for more.
Like I said I enjoyed this book way more than I should have and I rate it 4 ½ ★

Although it wasn't that bad, I don't really see myself reading the rest of the series.

4.5 stars for me!

Why is this book a YA? This definitely is a book with more mature content. I found this one interesting because, although, while the book is very new adult like it is set in a high school and Ella is only 17, but the actions of the characters and the way they respond to things would not be okay in a YA/high school setting.

The characters were interesting, the plot kept me reading, and that cliffhanger though! Guess I'll be starting the next one right away!

I'd recommend for sure.

Shocked that I actually liked this book.
Pretty shocking end and I actually enjoyed the juvenile feel to this book, it was not too high school, just the correct amount, and also that storyline is pretty good, and thank god Ella is not some stupid airhead she has a personality that I immediately liked.
Easton is my favourite no matter how Reed is perfect!!
