Well damn! Talk about a hell of a way to start a series! A virulent pandemic sweeping the globe, an elitist academy, hidden agendas and legends of old twisted all together to form a fantastic story of survival. Tatum Rivers, daughter of doomsday pepper virologist Donovan Rivers, thought her hardest challenge to date was facing down a solid year in one place - Everlake Preparatory Academy - while her father left to continue his research and fight against the Hades Virus spreading across the globe. But she had no way to know the twisted ties woven into the halls she now calls home, or how quickly those barbed ties would bind as she tries to survive The Night Keepers.
Kings of Quarantine is more than your usual dark bully romance. It takes it to the next level of dark.
Let's start with my favorite character, Monroe, the PE teacher and coach of the football team. He's a hot bad boy who is the only one that the Night Keepers listen to. He's there for a reason, to bring down the Memphis family. My next favorite character is Kyan, the tattooed adrenaline junkie who needs a good fight as much as he needs to breath. He's also got a thing for Tatum, but can she handle the monster in him? Then we have Blake, who is not as dark but still harbors a monster in him because his mother died from the virus. He felt something for Tatum from the beginning, until he got the phone call from his dad telling him just who she really was. Saint, the self proclaimed king of Everlake Prep is the darkest monster of them all. Always in his perfect clothes without a wrinkle and his rules, he holds his monster in by having a routine. Tatum is the baddest of them all, because no matter how they try to break her... she doesn't fall. She comes back fighting harder than before.

Saint, Kyan and Blake better pay for the stunts they pulled throughout the book - especially the one with the letters. I woulda killed them if I were Tatum honestly. But here's to redemption for these three and drooling over Daddy Monroe ahahshshhsjk
Again these are two new to me authors and I've heard nothing but great things about this series. It didn't disappoint either. I love all the characters and I love Tatum's attitude and how she fights back with The Night Keeper's. I can't wait to carry on with book #2 and see what happens!
5 stars for Kings of Quarantine by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. This is book one in the Brutal Boys of Everylake Prep series. So first I will start by saying this book is extremely dark. I found this book captivating. I was addicted from the first page. This is a reverse harem with some extreme dark parts that could trigger some. I won’t lie I hated Saint, Kyan, and Blake in this book. I am hoping it changes in future books. These three are known as The Night Keepers and now Tatum is their slave. A virus is rampant and it seems Tatum’s dad is responsible for it being out in the world. Bring in book two.

Brutal is an accurate description of what the three male leads are in this book. I've never read a book like this before and I was sort of repulsed at first and then I just couldn't stop. I don't know what that says about me but here we are. I devoured this book and I look forward to reading the read of the series.
This was a toughy for me. While it ended up being a great read (wonderful job, Twisted Sisters), part of me found myself wanting to DNF quite a few times just because of how BRUTAL these guys were. Some of the shit they did was wayyyy off. I get it’s a bully romance, but THE LETTERS?
Not gonna lie I regret reading. Unfortunately, I am curious as to what happens, though. It all just seems like too much. Like, I love assholes and psychos... probably a bit more than I should, but usually those characters that I adore have some form of purpose. Saint honestly seems like a rich peice of shit with a god complex. No... he is a rich peice of shit with a god complex. He creeps me out more than anything. There doesn't seem to be any redeeming qualities. He's just cruel plain and simple. When he burnt Tatum's letters to her sister I was done. I had lost all respect him and the other two for letting him do it in the first place.
Blake is a sad excuse of a man to me. I get that he's still grieving, but that doesn't give him a fucking pass to be bastard. Even if he wanted to distance himself from Tatum when he found out who her father was I could understand that, but to completely blame her for something she held no part in is stupid. He's petty and childish and I almost dislike him as much as I dislike Saint.
Kyan would be my favorite if I had to choose. He's still a trash human being, but in my opinion he's the only interesting character. He revels in violence; craves it, and honestly it's a little hot. He has secrets that even his so called "brothers" don't know and he refuses to be caged.
Monroe.... I don't know. He's just Monroe, I guess.
Tatum could have been a great character. But she's a little disappointing at times
I don't really get the whole Night Keepers thing. At all. I don't know if I somehow skipped over the lore and how it pertains to the 3 guys but it's confusing to me. And even though Saint, Blake, and Kyan, are supposed to be like family I never really felt that while reading.
