Heartless Monster by Rachel Leigh
4.0
dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: Complicated

 I'm gonna start this by saying New Adult is not my usual jam - but Heartless Monster was fan-fricken-tastic!!!

We've got Bully, Enemies to Lovers, Stepsiblings, forced proximity, virgin FMC.

I think me and Elodie would totally be besties back in high school. She was a such a good girl, a rule follower and yet - she ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And it's also a MUST for me that if I'm going to read a bully romance I NEED an "I hate her, but I'm the only one who can torment her" vibe - and Ms Rachel Leigh totally had me covered with this one.

The angst was top notch, and had me in a chokehold until the very end.
