I love Claire Contreras and I loved this book! There was so much mystery surrounding this whole story. I loved all of the ups and downs. I shipped Mae and Logan super hard. I did not see that ending coming and I really enjoyed that. I can't wait to read what other books Claire comes up with in this universe. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Spoilercouple plot holes. Controlling boyfriend that’s played off as sweet and protective. #RichPeopleProblems

This was recommended by a friend, I wasn’t to thrilled with this read. The plot revolves around a wealthy Senior in college who transfers her senior year to another college where she’s initiated into a secret society her brother and father were a part of. Instantly she begins a relationship with the popular hockey player who...wait for it...is in this secret society too!! As goes without saying that relationship flourished and the secret society secrets are told. There’s really no substance to the characters, the “f” word is used more than I care for in a book, and of course there’s sex which would be included of course. Not my cup of tea, but definitely an easy read.

I really wanted to love this, I was so hyped up for it with all the promotions leading up to the launch. However, it fell a little flat for me. I still finished it, and didn't abandon part way through, but the plot of this story just wasn't as well thought out or rich as I had hoped. The story was very surface level on both the romance and the secret society. There were a lot of plot holes and things weren't really explained or tied up so I felt pretty unsatisfied in the end. So all in all, it's not bad per say, but it's far from a great book either.

Wut just happened (and not in a “this was amazing” way but in a “that was batshit crazy and I have no idea how we got from A to B”).

The suspense in this book had me on the edge of my seat (especially in the first half)! I had so many theories when reading this that I felt like a stressed detective watching all the secrets come to light. I really enjoyed this; I'm definitely making a mental note to read more romantic suspense!

Tropes: secret society, romantic suspense, hockey romance, etc.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! From the very beginning I was hooked, there were so many twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat! I loved the ending, didn't see that one coming. Also side note Mae and Logan...omg...❤ Overall such a ride!!
