I. Need. More. The relationships that are developing are SO GREAT. I’m so happy she confided in Atlas and Keats tho they did a real crappy job at being protective. I cannot wait to see how her relationships with Thayer and Jude progress. This poor girl just needs a hug and some milk and cookies. Geez.

This was only book two and I already feel like the author is really dragging this out. Also, I don’t like or trust Melody AT ALL. The only reason I’m continuing is because I still have a bunch of questions I need answered.

- Secret Society 

WOW! I am really enjoying this series so far. So hard to put down. I can’t get enough! If you haven’t added this to your tbr but you enjoy dark romance with revenge and you don’t have to choose from the guys, then this book is for you! 

Lyric is on the hunt to find out the truth about her sister’s death, but she keeps finding more questions then answers. She is so strong and such a badass. One of my favorite FMC by far. Thayer is warming up to me and I’m starting to like him more. Jude is still an asshole and I need to know more about him. Atlas and Keats are still number one! 

BUT THAT CLIFFHANGER AT THE END! I HAD TO JUMP RIGHT INTO BOOK 3!

The Sweetest Revenge Book 2

Lyric is such an amazing character to read about. She has been through so much in her short life that it is surprising to see her develop relationships with these men and have the capacity to trust and potentially fall for them. Keats and Atlas are my favorite and I am looking forward to some spicy scenes with the both of them soon. Thayer and Jude are not my favorite because Jude is trying everything he can to ruin her. I don’t understand why he has such a massive hatred towards her. Overall, this series is killer and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Let me just start by saying Lyric is as bad a**. She’s grown up in a world where she was basically secretly trained to seduce men and kick butt. She’s also faced a lot of tragedies and loss. Her loss is what brings her to where she’s at, seeking vengeance on The Boys of Ascendance Bay.

The boys all come from the wealthiest and most powerful families. They all have their own dynamic and shift in how they play apart in Lyrics world. She’s the little sister of their friend who passed, but some don’t quite look at her that way anymore.

There is so many different personalities but they all mesh so well. There is great twists and turns and something always leaving you on your toes guessing and wondering what’s coming next.

It literally takes me back to college days and everything about being in a sorority. There were so many moments I felt like fit my memories so vividly. It’s been amazing to connect to it on a different level.

The cliffhangers really keep you hanging and wanting more. However there’s going to be a bit of a wait til we get book 3 in Lyrics story. (Currently set for April 2022).

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

HELEN/ZOEY!!!!! I have so many questions, what are y’all doing to me?!?!

Hateful Regent was just as good as Bloody Princess, if not better tbh. The world building and character development are top notch, and found myself so completely immersed that I didn’t even realize I was about to finish… AND THEN COMES THAT CLIFFHANGER!!! You’re killing me, Smalls.

Also, fuck Mel
