This book drew me in right away and I am so glad that I picked this book up! The characters are interesting, the plot was exciting and the twists and turns keep you guessing. I couldn't read this thing fast enough.

Great story
I had no idea where this story was going to take me. It was a wild ride, with lots of twists and turns. Cannot wait to see what happens next.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

So another book I came into blind. I'm nor sure what I expected - well, no, I kind of expected a bit of a bully story line I guess.
There wasn't any bully Storyline in this. It was a slow Paced, very slow Burn between the Fmc and mmcs relationships and it was a long time until we found out exactly what Camilla had been thrown into.
After losing her parents to a fire, Camilla had been sent to her estranged Aunts who she had never met and knew little about. She on return sent her to Lost Lake Academy - a boarding school. Camilla gets there to find out all the wealthy kids go there, all the polituabs kids, actors, rock stars, and rumors of criminal organisation kids.
On her first day she meets Garratt, Micah and Devan and is warned of rumors about how strange they are. Her roommates Nora, Frank and Julie seem nice... Until she meets Julies boyfriend Drew who is really the catalyst to the rest of the problems that happen. He's a smarmy, conceited, nasty piece of work who actually picks on Julie and no one stands up to him. This frustrates Camilla as she can't understand WHY.
This opens up a ton of issues and opens up the reality of who she really is, and who the 3 guys are.
The actual story is good. It just feels like it's lacking a bit of.... Spark? There are moments of it, but I find myself skim reading which is how I now it's not holding my full attention. The chemistry between the 3 guys and Camilla isn't very hot sadly and it doesn't pick up until later on in the book.
I'm going to go onto the next book and hope for a bit more spark!

I had little to no expectations coming into this one, which led to some interesting surprises. I enjoyed the writing and the characters, and it kept me interested, which is always a plus.

4 stars for the RH
3 stars for the overall plot
Minus a fraction of a star for the cover (sorry!)
Super enjoyable, and I'm definitely curious for what comes next. My only hangups revolved around the FMC's choices. There were scenes where she was really smart, figured things out, and everything was great. But then there were multiple scenes where she just makes the typical dumb decisions you see in this genre (e.g., MMC rightfully says, "You're in danger, DO NOT go anywhere alone!" And she's like, "Okay!" and then, of course, immediately goes somewhere alone). I get she's young, but we already know she's smart AND she's been attacked multiple times at this point, so...
But ASIDE FROM THAT, I'm looking forward to the next book. The MMCs were great and the RH subplot was well done. The cliffhanger ending was also well-executed, and I'm anxious to see where it leads.
