Lawless Kingdom by Natalie Bennett

4.0

"It’d been natural for the wolf to seek me out since I had gone as Little Red. Letting the wolf taste and claim me was another story."

Rhiannon went to a party, while one thing led to another and she ended having the best night of her life with a masked stranger. Fast forward a few years, she lived a pretty simple life. Moved to a new place, making her way to through school, best friend and boyfriend, although, they were from different worlds, never left her behind. It wasn't until her senior year, when all the fun begins.

Jude Barren, an arrogant, possessive, alphahole. His family is one of the elite families that make up the underground crime world. At such a young age, he's already specializes in murder, torture, and disposal. Once he staked his claim on Rhiannon, that was it. Nobody is to touch her, but him.

"We were a New Age Romeo and Juliet, but for one of us our curtain call would come with a much more satisfying ending, and a sinister twist."

I really loved this. I didn't really know what to expect. I am such a sucker for academia, bully, mafia/crime stories (especially together) and it all fit perfectly! I have to admit (besides the prologue), the build up was a tad bit slow but definitely couldn't put it down. This was an incredible prequel and backstory. Natalie Bennett can literally do any trope. There were so many unanswered questions and twist, I NEED MORE!
