This whole series is literally just Gossip Girl. I’m still here for it, though.

Audiobook via Hoopla. 

Narrators fit pretty well. 

This had me on the edge of my seat! I love the tension between the MCs - the push and pull and of course “touch her and die.” Ooof, I’m so here for it! 
Immediately jumping into book 2.

Typical bully romance with some deeper themes. I felt that the FMC was quite thought out in terms of her character and he thought processes made logical sense and were consistent, not so much with the male lead. I also massively prefer Ricky

for me

So good but I’m mad it’s on a cliff hanger didn’t expect that. Definitely frustrating at times but such a good read. Definitely kind of hard to root for the guy cuz he is a complete dick. 3/5

Absolutely brilliant start to this series! I recently started reading high school bully books and this book takes that genre to a new level!

Throughout, West is a true bully, but he is also so much more. There is a dark passion behind the way he is, and that beast loves control, causing fear and definitely does not like someone who says no. The tension between our two main characters is dripping with disdain, and these two are drawn to each other, from start to finish.

The pace and flow of the story is absolutely brilliant. It gives you a true feeling of hatred right through to the ending result. You never feel rushed, and it definitely feels real, which is so important, especially in this genre.

I loved the characters. They were real, deep and truly stuck to their personalities, from start to finish. I loved getting to know them and finding out what made them tick.

Overall, I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it. It is brilliant!!

Great audiobook!

Blue gets into a new school. Her dad is a drunk and her mom left. Her brother is in jail, so it’s mainly her and her sister. 

West and his brothers have always attended the prep school. On a mission to get back at his dad, he finds some incriminating evidence in a safe that immediately places Blue in his crosshairs.

—-this is a bully romance that ends on a cliffy and I’m here for it.
