This was a great read for me. I will say I was hesitant going into it reading a high school bully book. I did enjoy it and was able to shock me with a twist plot.

Looking forwarding to diving deeper into the Royal Elite Series, really looking forward to Aiden's book

Amazing book. I was having a hard time at the beginning, but I'm so glad I continued. This book is amazing. Great sexy scenes, forbidden romance, touch her and die, and a complicated story between to rival families who's young adults fell in love. Can't wait to keep reading the Rina universe!

I should've DNF this. I know I say this a lot lately but reading about freaking teenagers banging it's not for me. Also, I love a little toxic MMC but not like it's Levi, he's TOXIC with capital letters and not the funny, toes curling type. Every time some male approached this girl he started losing his marbles. He should do like Astrid and go to fucking therapy.

Someone please tell me if it gets better in the series, please tell me if I decided to keep reading it i won't have to read about teenagers

2.5. “Those who don't play chess think the king is the strongest piece, because the game ends when he dies, but they don't stop to think that if the queen died first, the king doesn't have a chance to survive.”
