Read because it was a recommended reverse harem. It’s fast paced enough to keep me engaged with the story. Sparknotes: Daisy is a Norm, struggling to provide for herself and her sister after her parents were murdered in front of her 7 years ago at the hands of Idols. They were murdered in relation to her dads work, he was a journalist that found a weapon that can kill Idols.

Daisy works in a diner and has an altercation with a group of 4 Idols. Daisy is then desperate to quickly get as much money as she can to flee the city with her sister as she suspects the vindictive Idols will seek her out and kill her.

Daisy goes to a strip club to work for the night where she is offered a scholarship to the Gifted Academy which she accepts.

Story takes off from there where Daisy then finds she is now attending school with the same 4 Idols that threatened to kill Daisy the day before in the diner.

These 4 Idols become the love interests as their hatred turns to lust and then something more.

Bryce - main love interest of book. Level 17. Nicest possibly of group?

Rufio - Bryce’s brother. Level 15. Aggressive, most rash.

Phoenix - Level 15. Tormented and sleaziest. 

Morpheus - Level 15. Tortured by his power. Does not trust Daisy whatsoever.
