nrc1 's review for:
Empire High Exposed
by Connor Crais, Laurie West, Ivy Smoak, Ivy Smoak
I do not understand the hype. It reads like a Wattpad novel that should have stayed on Wattpad.
I did not read any other books in the series and this is not a standalone book at all. However, this was not communicated in the advertising.
I was cringing throughout most of the book and I could not get through it. Here are some reasons why:
• NIGEL – this supposed adult acts as a child and actually gets jealous of a child when the child gets attention. He speaks of others in really weird ways. There is a conversation between him and another character about a “special surprise” in a drink that made me super uncomfortable. He offers to bathe the main female character even though there is no romantic interest. I think the author though Niguel was supposed to be a comic relief character and he just comes off as creepy.
• People allude to kidnapping children
• Even though Matt and Brooklyn met in high school and it would be appropriate when they were both 16, he says he imagines having *sexy time* with a 16 yr old Brooklyn even though he is supposedly in his 30s. This is after the reunite in their 30s. He PURPOSLEY want to imagine a 16 yr old
• Brooklyn results to violence when she is mad and hits Matt. If a male main character did this to a female one, everyone would be up in arms.
I do not recommend this book. Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for the honest review.
