Is this the most well written book? No. Does it have a complete choke hold on me? Yes, for some insane reason.

PHENOMENAL

Ugh how on earth does each book get better than the previous one??? This one has so much humour and action, that’s it’s insane. I absolutely loved to see Dean’s and Cat’s transformations, and the mystery for the next book is clearly laid out. I adored Snow and how good of a role model he was to Dean. This book has comfort and spice in equal measure, and plenty of excitement to keep you going

It was much better than the last one. but idk, it was ok. Dean's development was great to see. And yeah, we get it Cat is so small and Dean is so strong.

ate up every second of this book. i was iffy about it at the beginning, but fell in love sooo fast. i love that cat finds herself and that we see how devoted dean can be when he loves someone.

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Let me just say that I'm seriously mad at myself for not starting this book earlier. Like OMG?! This book is AMAZING and I freaking loved everything about it from the very first page till the very last. I can't stop thinking about Cat & Dean right after I've finished this book because these two have completely stolen my heart. Urgh, I can't even describe how much I loved The Bully because it gives me all the serve & buzz that I need.

In the previous book, it was mentioned that Dean witnessed the crime that Cat had committed in order to save her older sister Zoe. So basically, this book tells the story where Dean took the advantage of the situation and decided to blackmail Cat by making her his servant and ordering her around.

Now, when we talk about Dean & Cat, both of them are just amazing characters. Despite their opposite personalities, they shared incredible chemistry with one another. Even tho Dean treated Cat poorly in the beginning, we can clearly see how much Dean cares for her and vice versa. All their moments in this book are just *chef kiss* and it really made me swoon. It was extremely steamy yet sweet. I even got emotional in the last few chapters. Like seriously, I couldn't think of anyone more perfect for Dean other than Cat. These two clearly deserve each other.

Overall, it was an enjoyable read for me and I think Sophie Lark had done an amazing job in writing Dean & Catalina's story. This book is hands down my favourite book in the entire series because everything was well written and even the storyline was greatly developed. The Bully is basically what we need for Dean's redemption arc and I have to applaud Sophie Lark for doing it justice. I highly recommend for everyone to try out this series because it's absolutely worth it.
