What an amazing start
First of all, let's start with PLOT. Have I seen this Type of plot before? Ofc yes but the author crafted such a pull with the twists and intrigue that brings a fresh perspective to this story
Next, chemistry, it's fast but you can still feel the scorching heat that the pages offer.
A must read for bully lovers.

Holy Wow!
This story!
If you read Ketley Allison’s previous series (Briarcliff) then you are already familiar with the Nobles and Virtues.
While this storyline is completely different, it’s no less compelling.
Ember learns a horrid truth about herself: she was “stolen” as a baby. Eighteen years have passed with her adoptive parents and her real father comes back to whisk her away. He promises opportunity that she’d never have if she stays with her adoptive parents.
Attending Winthorpe Academy, Ember finds out that she very closely resembles (and is basically taking the spot of a missing girl, Savannah). At Winthorpe, Ember meets Thorne, the Societal Prince, and Savannah’s ex-boyfriend. She also finds that he is awakening her sexually and she is discovering incredible arousal.
They are connecting…until Thorne betrays her. Will she come back stronger? We find out in Book 2.

Ember finds out her parents illegally "adopted" her when Malcolm Weatherby, her real father, shows up in her life. He wants her to stay with him during her senior year of high school and have no contact with her adoptive parents during that time or, the threat is there, he will turn them in. She decides to accept and attend Winthorpe High School not for the benefit of her real father but because it is a prestigious school that offers a chance at a Fellowship in the Tech world that will pretty much set her up for life. Ember has dreams of making something of herself and making sure her parents never have to worry about finances again. Thorne Briar - the boy who lives across the street from Weatherby Manor - and all his little minions have other ideas. You see, it's very hard to get into Winthorpe High School. There aren't too many openings that just appear. Malcolm has used his influence to get Ember into the only open position. A position that was once occupied by a girl that went missing months before. Not only does Ember resemble the missing girl, but she took her spot which was being left open to memorialize her. A book about secret societies. Lies. Forbidden attraction. And the big question is, what happened to the missing girl?
One parts gothic. One parts V.C. Andrews. One parts bully romance. There you have a pretty solid start to a series!

Thank you to the author, Ketley Allison, for providing a copy of Thorne (The Thorne of Winthorpe High book 1). I have reviewed honestly.
Thorne features, but is not limited to, the following themes:
○ New adult
○ Enemies to lovers
○ Bully romance
○ Medium burn
○ Dark romance
○ Secret societies
○ Manipulation
○ Depravity
My overall rating for Thorne is…
5 Stars!
I honestly don't know where to start with this book. Thorne kept me on my toes from to start finish. I loved venturing back into the world of Briarcliff Society (which is not needed to read before this one as everything is detailed through hints and taunts.) Ember and Thorne were similar yet so different to our original power couple, Callie and Chase. Their hateful relationship is heated, intense, sinnester and depraved; their chemistry on fire. As always, Allison has written her tale in an enticing and hungry way. Overall, Allison has done a supreme job of reawakening her delightfully dark and ominous world in a brand new series.
