This was my first book by this author and it had been on my tbr for a long time.
I listened to the audiobook this week instead of reading the physical book because I had a lot going on.
The narrators were pretty entertaining so I don't think they are effecting my review at all.
I had really high hopes for this book. Reading the blurb it sounded right up my alley.
To me, it felt like it lacked a little bit of the bully romance aspect between Sloane and Dorian I was expecting from what was described of the book. She immediately was into him and him her.
If I were to set that part of the book aside though, I did enjoy the other side to the plot and my jaw dropped when it ended on a cliffhanger. I will be reading the next book in the series to see what happens next.

I really need to stop reading books that TikTok recommends to me.
Fair warning, I didn’t love this book so this is just a rant of me complaining about every negative stupid scene or character until I get frustrated and stop.
so I saw this tiktok describing the scene where the main character walks into a party in lingerie and her “dark prince” is angry and pulls her away to put clothes on her.
Based on that tiktok I thought this was a “anyone touches her and ill kill you” vibes but this was the complete opposite.
It’s literally about a group of guys who are rich and powerful that torment this new girl in school ONLY BECAUSE she had the nerve to stop a mugging. and then again continues to bully her bc the school set her up with a class period with the headmaster.
Which confused me, if y’all really “run the school” like it’s heavily implied- why couldn’t they just change her class period? Instead of buying dildos and putting them in her locker in the hopes that she will unenroll herself from school?? when she literally has no power to do that???
AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FIRST SEXUAL SCENE?
it’s literally sexual assault. The scene with the pool? The two guys holding her down and rubbing against her, and then the main love interest (door or something like that) sexually assaults her with a bat? and she’s okay with them almost drowning her and sexually assaulting her bc they are hot.
Up until this moment she literally hasn’t had one positive interaction with these guys, not even a conversation that wasn’t them yelling at eachother.
and then when the two guys try to be her friend later on she is mentions the pool scene so off handed like these people didn’t sexual assault her.
AND THE SCENE WITH THE MOTHER? like sir how are you so upset that she made your mom cry, and then your first thought is you better suck my dick???!??????
………. you’re done….. you’re done.
and the whole plot line with her brother made no sense. how do y’all live with eachother and don’t even talk. He’s still a minor. He can’t be that busy with football, like if the bully’s have time for her, her brother would have time for her too. But he is always off doing “football things” like what????
also the whole, I’m going to kidnap the headmaster to know what happened with my uncle. like what?? that’s extreme??? y’all didn’t think maybe hey let’s blackmail her with these text messages we have of her. Maybe she will tell us what we want to her. They went straight to, yeah let’s kidnap her.
And the whole uncle thing, how is he your uncle but only 2 years older? And the whole time they continue to call him their brother. Why doesn’t the author just make him his brother??????????? saves the headache.
And to mention characters……. they all sucked?????
Main character was suppose to be “strong, independent, a protector” girl you literally did nothing but pretend your tough. shut up.
Main character love interest, typical white rich boy behavior, wahhh my uncle who’s really like my brother- died. now I’m going to bully my friends into breaking crimes bc I’m sad and I have all the money in the world but can’t afford therapy for me or my mom who is severely depressed.
like what??????????
anyway
this book was terrible,It didn’t flow very well. The way it was written was very wattpad. The characters were…. let’s just say they had A LOT of room for character development.
1/5 stars would not read the others in the series.

Hoenstly most of the book I was on the fence about whether to continue with it or not. I didn't even plan on reading the second one really. I'm not sure I will even with the cliffhanger. Over all it was a decent book though.

I really need to start reading about books before I just add them to my TBR because TikTok told me they were good. This was insanely unrealistic. No way high school seniors at 18 are doing what these kids do. Whether they’re insanely rich or not. I’m starting to think high school romances aren’t for me even if they are 18 it just feels yucky reading about them now. I think I’ll definitely be skipping the rest of this series.
kept me so entertained the 10 hour car ride to canada
