The way that I immediately got engrossed in this story and never wanted it to endddd!!! AH! This is the first book I read from this author and I. AM. HOOKED! I want all the books in this series NOW! 

What caught my eye in the list of tropes (we know I rarely read the blurb) was the academic rivals, organized crime and of course, my ultimate favorite: touch her and 💀.

What I got from it was so much more! Like honestly, maybe certain tropes were left out of it because it would be spoilers so, I won’t say too much but I will say that the reason I signed up to read this book is because it sounded like the Royal Elite/Rinaverse series and I wanted to read more of the same but just from a different author. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the setting is in college! Not HS the way that RE was but additionally, it had TWO DIFFERENT organized crime families (kinda lol) and the added mystery of what is going on in the school!

Ugh, it was seriously more than I could have ever asked for! I’m so stoked to know that she also has a book for the next generation BUT I’m holding off until I read the rest of the books before I pick up the next gen!
