I loved this book. Tatum stood up for herself and didn’t take the shit. The boys were all assholes but you can definitely see that’s it more than hate and lust forming between them. Definitely recommend.

This became a realllll slog to get through
And good grief I can’t STAND Blake
It’s obviously meant to be slow burn, which it certainly is, and I normally love, but it just drags on too long and there’s not enough tension to carry it for me

this is hard to rate.
on one hand, it was addictive and pretty well written, plus it was funny because of the toilet-paper hoarding etc.
however, on the other hand i hated the boys. i'm all up for dark, bully romances, but i need to like the boys at least a little. just a little! just one redeeming feature! but these guys gave me nothing.
yeah i really don't know what to think.

This book is dark,twisted and absolutely brilliant. The night keepers are the Kings of Everlake and Tatum Rivers has appeared in their crosshairs. Saint, Blake and Kyan are brutal, vicious and downright scary but Tatum is strong and won't let them break her.
I was gripped from the start and couldn't put it down. Cannot wait for book 2.

During the peak of the pandemic in real time I stumbled across this book. I scoffed and dismissed it because before reading the synopsis I figured it was another ploy to play on the situation with COVID in current society. I had seen a few others written referencing the virus in one way or another and found that it was almost in bad taste to use such a devastating world event for the sale of books. However, after reading Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Harlequin Crew series where the characters Saint, Kyan, Blake, and Tatum made a cameo, I had to dig deeper into their story despite my earlier reservations.
Tatum has spent her entire life with a prepper scientist father who was bent on teaching her how to survive no matter what situation she is put in. What he didn't prepare her for was not having him around having to survive in the Boarding school atmosphere of the world's elite. Everything seemed to be going fine the first few weeks she was at the school, but when the media grabs hold of a story stating that Tatum's father is involved in the release of the Hades Virus, her status drops lower than the Unspeakable scum. The attention of the Night Keepers, the kings of the school, is firmly on her now and they have decided that she is to be punished for her father's crimes by becoming their slave.
Tatum is strong but even so, some of their punishments are enough to crack even her resolve. It is in this regard that she is determined to make them pay. And Monroe, her hunky P.E. teacher, is just the accomplice she was looking for. Between the two of them she should be able to find a scratch in the meticulously polished crowns of the campus kings. However, when the campus is overrun by looters bent on stealing from the Night Keeper's stockpile of toilet paper and canned goods, a new threat is presented that has nothing to do with punishing Tatum or seeking revenge on her owners. It is in this battle for life and dwindling supplies that a bond is formed; one that is forged in blood and death.
I have read a lot of bully romance books that have made me wince over the treatment of the main female protagonist, but in this situation I was almost physically uncomfortable. Many a tear was shed as I watched this poor girl be isolated and tormented beyond the realm of what would be considered adequate for her crimes. Saint was the more sadistic of the Night Keepers and any time he interacted with Tatum I tensed. The man was a hair's breath away from killing her on several occasions! Tatum's strength through it all was one of the best representations of a strong female lead that I have seen in a long time. I kept expecting her to crumble but even while I was breaking for her, she was rallying to strike back.
My snap judgment on this book was appalling and I regret not reading this series sooner. I am starting to truly grow to love the authors' writing and character building skills. If you plan to read Kings of Quarantine be prepared to rage, sob, swoon, and laugh from beginning to end.
