This book is a slight improvement on the first one, the Vegas have grown a little bit of a backbone and finally get a tiny bit of revenge on the heirs. But it really is only a tiny bit. The pranks they pull on the Heirs are about the level you would expect from a bunch of high school kids and barely gets them enough payback for the hazing they went through on day one at the academy, so it's quite underwhelming. Again, the frequency of grammatical errors in the book is disappointing. The pacing of this series is weird, each book only covers a week or two and there is so much focus on the mundanity of each day and the constant jibes and bullying from the heirs, then most of the action packed in right at the end.
