Everly lost her parents in a car accident, as a result, she has to go live with her uncle,her only living relate. As dean of Blackstone university her uncle insist that Everly gets to go to the school her father once did, and live comfortably on campus. Everly has caught the eye of the boneyard kings, Callum, Mateo and Saint. They rule the south side but received scholarships to go to Blackstone on the north side. They have Everly in their sights, convinced that she is keeping secrets from them and part of a wrong doing they charge her uncle with.
This book is filled with secrets, longing and conspiracy. This book ends on a cliffhanger. More questions than answers.

This is the first book in the Boneyard RH series & damn it’s a wild one. I can easily say I was invested from the very beginning with these characters. There was just something about this world that I didn’t want to leave.

Everly is the new shiny pawn that the Boneyard Kings want to use for their benefit. Forced to move in with her only uncle, she has to start fresh at this new very pretentious school that is run by the Boneyard Kings. She has no real understanding of what their true intentions are with her & I think I’m most excited to see her character growth in this series.

Callum, Saint & Mateo, the Boneyard Kings, are ruthless and they have their sites set on Everly. They are immediately wary of her upon her arrival, which is what causes them to decide to go after her. They are determined to find proof of what they believe she’s hiding & bring her to her knees.

This book has spice, secrets, lies, sooo much drama & the angst will make your heart ache in the best way. I enjoyed this book a whole lot & I am excited to see how the rest of this series plays out.

I enjoyed this book and I’m going to dive head first into the next book, this book is kind of like a teaser for the other books in the series to follow, you get little snippets of information but not enough to peace together exactly what has happened for the to be hunting and terrorising Everly.
The cliffhanger

The mystery of this story stays throughout the entire book and WOW the cliffhanger at the end, Merciless Kings, is a hot, bully read that is unputdownable!

The Boneyard Kings set their sights on Everly at the start of the school year, something she doesn't want and didn't ask for. The reputations of the Kings, bad boys from the wrong side of town, invade her life to the point that she can barely breathe, but for what nefarious purpose?

Saint, Matteo, and Callum are brothers, not by blood, but bonded through tough experiences and the foster system. These Kings play a game of cat and mouse with Everly, herding her towards their own agenda, but each in a different way.

Saint is definitely the easy going, goofier guy, with a touch of the devil inside him. Although there are times he gives off the vibe where Everly shouldn't be taken in by her laid back persona, but does she listen?

Matteo reminds me of a teakettle right on the verge of exploding. He lives his life like a powder keg one match away from detonating everyone around him. However, Everly is also drawn to the duality that Matteo gives off.

Lastly, we have Callum, the cold, calculated King. He views the world in black and white and there is no room for the grays that Everly may live in. To him she is either a pawn or the queen there is no in between.

I'm truly excited to continue this journey and see how Everly unlocks the Kings secrets, but how they pull out hers as well.

it was fine, didn't love it but didn't hate it. I don't think there was a reason to make it a series though
