One of the better bully romances I've read. As someone not normally a fan of bully romance, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. While there is an aspect of bullying, it never crossed my that's too far threshold. Therefore, when the FMC starts developing feelings, I am not opposed. The aspects of mystery in the book also really draw you in and make you want to see where it goes.

I think this is one of the few bully romances that I actually like. I think the secret is to:
a. Never let one of them actually hurt her
b. make most of them idiots
c. make her too sassy for her own good.
I honestly didn't know that this was going to be a slowburn RH bully romance when I started it and it's far from the best one I've read. BUT it's an interesting world if absolutely nothing else. The magic system is very interesting and seems to incorporate a lot of tropes that don't seem to clash with each other yet. Consider me along for the ride.

Okay, I read this one because I had this on my list of authors attending Wild and Windy next year and I REALLY liked it more than I anticipated! I have to admit, I’m a SUCKER for an RH bully romance… and set it in an academy setting? Yes. I was a little skeptical at first because the characters are on the younger side (18) but I didn’t actually think they were too childish or immature. Their attitudes and reactions made sense given their age. And the MMCs? SOLD. A white haired MMC??? My Draco Malfoy loving heart was screaming. Overall I am very excited to see where the series goes and enjoyed it! If you’re a fan of ZA then this is very reminiscent of those vibes, and I think you’d find this a fun read!
4.5 stars
Great start to the series, there was progress without giving away too much. Lots of foreshadowing of things to come. The bullying was a bit OTT, but with OTT characters, it is to be expected.

4 stars for Wicked Gods by Michelle Hercules. This is book one in the Gifted Academy series. This is a paranormal reverse harem bully romance. I enjoyed every minute of this book. Daisy is a norm and norms are at the bottom in society among Idols and Fringe. She saw her parents murdered when she was only 10 years old and has been on her own , and raising her young sister since. I love Daisy’s character. She is strong, has a backbone, and stands up for herself against anyone even the Idols. When she meets Rufio, Bryce, Phoenix, and Morpheus it doesn’t go very well. Instantly she has a target on her back. She gets a scholarship to Gifted Academy , where there are only a couple norms. This is her best choice at making a better life for her and her sister. But that means she will be at school with idols who descended from gods. They are powerful and hate norms. Rufio, Morpheus,Bryce, and Phoenix set out to make Daisy’s life hell at the Academy. What they don’t expect is for Daisy to not give in. She is stronger than they think. I am intrigued by the world that Michelle Hercules has created. I am loving all the characters and learning about their abilities and everything. The storyline had me captivated, I could not put the book down. Rufio, Bryce, Phoenix, Morpheus, and Daisy have a strong chemistry. It jumps off the pages at you. The banter and witty comments make it that much better. I love that there is also this level of suspense , it makes it that much more intriguing. I am starting book two now.
A school for idols and fringes norms are not welcomed that is until Daisy is granted a scholarship Now she must not ever her true identity and surviving all the people who want to kill including the four most dangerous idols
