I am the dark in the night! Hear me roar!
Okay, let’s dive on in!
I did like this series. I’m not gonna lie, the bullying in the beginning of the series was a little rough, but I read and can handle pretty dark books so it didn’t really bother me, plus I love a good redemption/groveling story. These guys definitely prove their devotion to Tatum, the female lead, throughout the series. They pay for their sins towards her in blood.
This is a reverse harem series set in a fictional town with an exaggerated look at how the Hades Virus (Coronavirus) affects the lives of these characters. The plot of the series was quite interesting and kept me hooked. And let me be honest, the sex was H O T. Character development was great. The authors did a really good job giving the four guys very distinct and individual personalities. I honestly want to say that what I loved most about this series was the brotherhood between the guys. Their devotion to each other and the way they teased each other and wrestled/beat the crap out of each other was great. I loved Tatum. She was a badass that didn’t just roll over and take the bullying, and she did to them everything they did to her. I feel like with all reverse harem books, you already have to suspend reality a little bit because the world isn’t so accepting of poly relationships so it’s not the “norm”, unfortunately. With this series, I feel like you have to suspend reality even more than normal because these are teenagers that are supposedly so hardcore and badass that they can even make grown men in a criminal organization fear them. I’m not saying that 18 year olds can’t be powerful, but these boys basically could run the world and kill anyone who threatens them, so don’t go into this series with a firm grip on reality.
The reason for the deduction of stars is because after so long, I began skimming A LOT. Like some of the third book and almost all of the fourth book. It just dragged on and on and on and even though I liked the story, I was ready to get on with it and it end. I know that sounds harsh but these books were dragging so much that I was finding that my attention kept straying.
Overall, I do not regret reading the series, but it’s not one I would consider MY favorite. I noted several similarities to J Bree’s Hannaford Prep Series. Both are bully romances in a preparatory academy. Saint would be Ash with their cold and controlling demeanors. Blake would be Blaise with their happy go lucky personalities even though they definitely have some dark in them. And Kyan would be Harley, with their big bulking frames who is the “muscle” of the group. Kyan and Harley both come from criminal families. There’s an unhinged protector in both series, Niall in this series would be the Butcher in Hannaford, both had wives that were sexually abused. Saints dad and Ash’s dad are both bad guys with the final action scenes in each series revolving around sneaking into their homes and taking them out. Their use of “wolves” and how they howl, which the main character in Hannaford is known as the wolf. There’s also a similar phrase, “all hail” that’s in Hannaford. I’m NOT saying they plagiarized or anything by any means, I’m just saying there’s quite a few similarities to the characters of Hannaford prep. There are major differences as well, the series aren’t identical or anything, just similar in the actual characters. So I guess you could say that if you loved Hannaford, you’ll probably like this series as well. I also got some Den of Vipers vibes as well.... “little bird”.... I won’t go into all of the similarities between the two. All in all, if you are a reader who loved Hannaford and DOV, you should really like this series! It wasn’t a bad series at all, I rather enjoyed it, I just got a little burnt out after a while when it felt like the books just kept on going.

I am kinda disappointed in this series as a whole.
I have read many of the twisted sisters books and loved them but this whole series fell flat for me.
The Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep is essentially smut with 0 plot. I understand this was a spoof made during COVID and it was a somewhat fun read considering I was able to finish the whole series, but I wish there was more substance to the characters and the plot.
I really didn’t like any of the characters, they were all pretty bland in terms of personality.
I am glad that they didn’t drag the series on for more than 4 books, it probably could have been a trilogy and been fine.

Holy crap what an epic ride that was!!
I had a love/hate relationship with this series from the start.
I’m not usually a bully romance kind of person but I’m also a sucker for those heartbreaking betrayal scenes and this series was full of them.
My heart was in my throat the entire book, never knowing where the next threat was going to come from or if our precious wolf pack would make it to the end.
I enjoyed seeing the way each of their insecurities show through and then see how each character worked together to heal or ease those feelings. They might’ve been five psychos but the emotion and love they all had for each other was clear. Watching Saint and Tatum come through for Kyan to help him heal from Deepthroat’s actions, or all the boys letting Saint control them to keep his OCD and issues handled, my heart couldn’t handle it.
One of my fave side characters, Niall, came out to play again too! Saw some major foreshadowing for his series and I absolutely can’t wait to delve into his murderously crazy head!!
I’m so sad this series is over but it truly was an adventure of epic proportions, fucked up romance, beautiful smut, and real world relevance. Caroline and Suzanne have done it again!!

loved this series
If you have read their other series this one is like ZA and DP had a non fantasy baby. I loved the whole thing. I did not want it to end I’m very sad. It was a wild ride. I love all the boys and Tatum so much.

Woof. This book and series was THICK, but I am finally finished!
Queen of Quarantine is the final book in the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series. This book follows Tatum and the boys' adventure as they continue to grow in their love for each other and on their journey for seeking vengeance. If you harm one Night Keeper, you'll feel the wrath of them all. The character development in Saint, Nash, Kyan, and Blake from books one to four was outstanding; I went from absolutely despising Saint to adoring him. I truly believe this is a craft that the sisters excel at in their writing.
Please keep in mind that this series has extremely dark themes as well as loosely follows the happenings of the COVID-19 pandemic. This might be trigger for some folks. Typically, dark content doesn't other me but I found this series extremely heavy and somewhat difficult to read due to some of the content. It is important that you read all content and trigger warnings prior to starting this series.
You might like this series if...
- You've read the rest of the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series... AKA Kings of Quarantine.
- You like reading dark romance books
- You like the "why choose" trope
- You enjoy extended epilogues... Caroline & Susanne are the BEST at this in their books.
Genre: Dark Romance, Bully-ish Romance
Tropes: Why Choose, Mine, Gangs All Here, Good vs. Evil
Stars: 4/5

I'm so obsessed with this series, it's sad to see it end - but boy did the lovely author duo give us a great ending to this story! Highly recommend this series, hands down!! "The four horsemen were going to collect their queen. And when they arrived, there would be blood to pay."
Tatum constantly survives everything thrown at her, even while separated from her Night Keepers. She brings them to their knees and they adore her in every way. This is an intense, action-packed ride that sees the Night Keepers and Tatum fighting to stay together amidst the panic of the Hades virus, taking down the Royaume D’elite, and putting a stop to Troy Memphis. I honestly love Niall's scenes and am so glad that we'll see more of him in the Death Club!
We get the most beautiful ending for Tatum and her Night Keepers, with loose ends wrapped up in nice little bows. You definitely won't be disappointed if you read this series..... you'll finally understand *squid emoji*
