Kings of Quarantine by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
5.0

Holy holy darkness. This book is BRUTAL, but — if you’re into that sort of thing — the character backgrounds are absolutely captivating.

After Tatum’s dad is needed to fight the Hades Virus, she finds herself at Everlake Prep with three of the most brutal boys, the Night Keepers. News outlets start circulating conspiracies about Tatum’s father, which leaves her as the Night Keeper’s number one target. Forcing her to ‘bond’ with them as repayment for her father’s mistakes, Tatum endures the monsters within the boys. How long can the Night Keepers blame her for someone else’s actions? Will Tatum break from their torture or will she find a way to break them?

Before starting this series, PLEASE read trigger warnings. This book is EXTREMELY dark and is a true bully dark romance. It is loosely based off the pandemic, which some readers might also find upsetting.

Kings of Quarantine is book one of the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series. Each character has secrets surrounding their past & a hidden darkness/monster within themselves… which caused me to devour the book. I NEED to know more about what the hell has happened to Tatum, Saint, Kyan, and Nash. I’ve already started book two!
