I read this series for the first time in 2021, and reading the books from Legacy of Gods series, made me miss some of the characters.
All Astrid wanted was to remain an invisible student, finish her studies in peace and go to college. Her life turns upside down when some drugs are put in her drink at a party and she ends up in Levi's room.
Levi can't stand people who take drugs and that's why in the first phase he kicks Astrid out of his room. But when she witnesses something that was caused by Levi, he doesn't leave her alone. He wants to be sure that the secret does not come out.
Astrid and Levi have a hot relationship and one thing I liked was that Astrid didn't let Levi control her.
This book is a perfect introduction to the Royal Elite series, and you should really give it a chance if it's on your TBR.

Look... I am completely and utterly aware I need therapy. WITH THAT SAID, this book reinforced this. I truly, honestly sat there half the book believing I could change Levi. I thought because I understand what it's like to have a father who has bipolar, I would be able to do it. Maybe I just need more frequent therapy sessions instead.
The Characters
Astrid: Girl. I have no idea how you did it. There was so much back and forth and fucking trauma. I literally could not. I would have given up so much earlier on. Jesus. I feel like I write about strong FMCs frequently but this is a different case. Astrid honestly did what few other FMCs I have seen could do. She held her head high though so much adversity and bullshit. There was so much she could have just looked at the whole thing and just turned in, yet she didn't. She persevered. And I don't even mean all the bullshit with Levi. That's just a whole other can of worms. Jesus.
Levi: Levi, honey, baby, child, love. I am desperately begging you to go to fucking therapy. Jesus Christ. So much of this book would not be an issue if you would. There was just. so. much. I'm not going to look too deeply into my love for the possessiveness or the toxicity. I just will book more and longer sessions with Rod. That is how I'm going to deal with that.
Things I Loved
Look. I'm going to be honest. I waited too long and loved my last book too much to be able to give any specifics other than I adore the writing style and fully intend on continuing the series, if not Rina's entire backlog.
The Final Verdict
If you can take the bully romance trope and are okay with getting your feelings hurt, you better run to Kindle Unlimited for this one.
