Quick blurb:
Elise has suffered the unimaginable loss of her brother and the worse part is that he was murdered and they ruled it an accidental death. So she set off to Aurora Academy to get the revenge she so helplessly craves. The only hitch is her clue, and it leads her to four gorgeously dangerous men who want her almost as much as she wants her brother's killer.
This book was really well done and thats exactly what I was looking for, the authors never come up short with the spice either even though it's a medium burn for most of them anyway.
I'm really excited to read the second book and I can just focus on the plot and character development instead of unrealistically hoping that the writing would get better in so many other book series I've read.
Overall I rate this book 3.5 stars only because it's the first book and we all know in complex world-building like this that world talks up space that later gets used for the best of scenes and such.
I highly recommend it if you're looking for a strong FMC that doesn't just fall at the feet of the MMCs and that isn't a bully romance for once (even tho I love bully romances).
