Never ever ever again. I will never understand the hype for this book.
First. Why is this book really only covering 2 weeks? Really? I get why there's so many books now.
Can we also come up with an original thought without ripping off Harry Potter/Hogwarts? Or without the most obvious names? The fire weilding professor is Professor Pyro? *eye roll* Faebook? Really. Its giving juvenile writing and high school scenarios.
Why does Diego have to insert a Spanish word into every sentence just to make sure as the reader you remember he's Latino? That's so disrespectful and stereotypical. Give the characters real character development. Not cringe writing.
The heirs are ridiculous too. I get it's supposed to be bully romance but this is high school cringe bullying. Also, not asking for consent is not cool. There's no redeeming qualities for these boys.
Overall, not my cup of tea and I wish I could erase it from my mind.
