Fergie is on a mission of revenge after she’s betrayed by the three boys of the poison ivy club. She’s determined to make them pay for all they have done to her and others around the school. But there’s even more at stake than she can imagine and she has to start making smarter decisions

I don’t really have much to say about this one other than it was amazing and a big WTF for that ending. I’m very nervous for everyone after that. I’m super excited tied to start the next book hence my short review because I just have to get started now lol.

Boring until 50% in THEN I WAS OBSESSED. At 80% is *chefs kiss* Cali coming in for the win! We love her. Love our FMC getting over her boring repeated sad era and finally we are gearing up for a proper why choose HEA with an action packed book. Can’t wait to read the third!

Book 2 hit the ground running and Did. Not. Stop. I feel like I held my breath for this entire book.

Seeing Fergie come into her own fully and make the Poison Ivy boys pay in blood was ✨chef’s kiss✨.

Watching the consequences of Fergie's personal war and the destabilization of the Triumvirate play out in both parallels and complements is the most stressed out I’ve literally ever been.

Steffanie, you’re a fucking queen and I don’t care how many times you plug your own books in your stories, just never stop writing them!

Ps. That coliseum scene with the special guest? Perfection.

This was an improvement from the first book (which I finished having disliked but decided to continue due to the cliffhanger), and there were less issues with the mmcs taking advantage of the fmcs blindness. I'm not attached to the series or characters and while there was another cliffhanger at the end of this book it was not strong enough to make me want to read the next book. Maybe in a couple months I'll decide to pick up the last book, but currently I have no desire to do so

Slogged through this one... it was still good, it just did not hold my attention as much as book one. Also the guys turning into cucks was just not for me.

Damn! Fergie is even more of a bad ass!! And, yep another cliffhanger!

While poison ivy club is no more, the revenge Fergie and Euri dole out is severe, and the boys come back together..though they are a little tentative. I liked that Fergie wasn’t instantly ok with them after an “I’m sorry”, though she probably should have left cas to die and Victor to stew.
