Dark and full of twists and so many lies to uncover as this highly addictive story unfolds。 POV is through the FMC。 Wow this was such a great story to get lost in as you follow along with each of the characters throughout this story。 A video gone viral is the first of many downfalls for Grace when she learns the identity of her three stars that she sets out to publicly shame for being rich jerks with no filters。 Poor Grace finds herself being blackmailed and no escape in sight, with Dash, Ezra, Dark and full of twists and so many lies to uncover as this highly addictive story unfolds。 POV is through the FMC。 Wow this was such a great story to get lost in as you follow along with each of the characters throughout this story。 A video gone viral is the first of many downfalls for Grace when she learns the identity of her three stars that she sets out to publicly shame for being rich jerks with no filters。 Poor Grace finds herself being blackmailed and no escape in sight, with Dash, Ezra, and Bellamy becoming her bullies of sorts and finding out these royals as they are called on campus have a mass of followers to help break Grace and try to put her in her place。 Grace is that character that speaks before she thinks, takes action before the unenviable consequences follow said actions。 She is a complex and witty character at times and I loved her sparky attitude she brings。 She may come from unstable home and lack the parental control most teens would have but she is real and she fights to help her sister and her nephew when times become tough。 Unfortunately for Grace she's pulled into a game with three guys who want to destroy her world and she has a lot of her own secrets that she never wants anyone to know about。 You watch as each guy becomes a little more possessive or controlling of Grace and little by little they start to make Grace crave their attention and what dark and depraved things they do to her。 Dash is the ringleader of sorts he's mean and cruel but seems to want Grace to be humiliated and crave her all at the same time。 This character is a alphAhole to the extreme at times。 Ezra is the southern laid back one that can be charming and pop his dimples to get what he wants。 He also has a very violent side and seems to be attracted to Grace knowing she's been deemed off-limits by Dash。 He won't stop till he has Grace just once at least with or without his best friend’s okay。 Bellamy is the quiet British one that doesn't say much but is happy to make Grace miserable when need be。 He only seems to want her to leave at first but he's also has a dark past that Grace finds herself thrown into without fully understanding what is happening。 This book is such an amazing ride of twists and turns that will have you questioning what is happening and who is to be trusted。 So many secrets and lies that keep falling and being uncovered only to lead to more questions once again。 So yes this book ends on a crazy insane cliffhanger that makes you want to scream so beware。 I loved that this is a kind of slow buildup of the RH side of the story。 It's spicy and intriguing with a huge mystery hanging over each character in this story。 I highly recommend this book for any reader who likes the slow build of a RH/bully romance with a dark and mysterious mystery to solve along the way。 I had the pleasure of reading this one early and all I can say is I'm now a huge fan of this author。 I can’t wait for the next book because I need to know what lies ahead for these highly addictive characters! 。。。more

This is the 1st in a new series。 Ezra, Bellamy, and Dash are three best friends who are out of control cruel savages, who rule over the school with iron fists, and are relentless in their pursuit of scholarship student Grace。 Ezra has a dark side, Bellamy is sweet and mysterious, and Dash is the volatile bad boy, and Grace is feisty, and firmly in their sights, and she gives as good as she gets。 This story ends in a whammy of a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to read the 2nd book。 This is a well This is the 1st in a new series。 Ezra, Bellamy, and Dash are three best friends who are out of control cruel savages, who rule over the school with iron fists, and are relentless in their pursuit of scholarship student Grace。 Ezra has a dark side, Bellamy is sweet and mysterious, and Dash is the volatile bad boy, and Grace is feisty, and firmly in their sights, and she gives as good as she gets。 This story ends in a whammy of a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to read the 2nd book。 This is a well written story which is a reverse harem, enemies / lovers, with secrets, twists, bullying, intrigue, and retribution, which leads to a thrilling and addictive page turner。I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review。 。。。more

The sexual tension, the bullying, the heat, the characters。。。 ALL amazing。 Grace is such a strong FMC。 I love that she takes nothing。 She fights the whole way。 The three boys; Dash, Ezra and Bellamy, are all sexy, dark and broody but also with a touch of sweet for Grace? Love that。 L。M。 Harrison killed it with this book and I can not wait to read the next one!*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*

Enemies to lovers。 RH, academy, and three best friends that lord over the school, including the feisty scholarship student。 This book has it all, plus more。 Grace never backs down from a fight and seems to harbor a lot of secrets。 She gets herself plenty of attention from the “royals” and no matter what they throw at her, she remains strong and even dishes it back。 The bullying in this book from the 3 guys was really just verbal, although some of it really could have hurt a weaker person。 Some o Enemies to lovers。 RH, academy, and three best friends that lord over the school, including the feisty scholarship student。 This book has it all, plus more。 Grace never backs down from a fight and seems to harbor a lot of secrets。 She gets herself plenty of attention from the “royals” and no matter what they throw at her, she remains strong and even dishes it back。 The bullying in this book from the 3 guys was really just verbal, although some of it really could have hurt a weaker person。 Some of the other bullies take it too far though and you instantly hate their characters。 Grace can’t seem to keep herself away from the guys, each of them vastly different from each other。 The sexual tension is abundant, the guys are definitely not selfish in their attentions, and they grow to have an understanding about the RH-type relationship developing。 She does her best to keep her secrets from them and everyone else, but some of them start to unravel at the end before a big bomb is dropped AT THE END。 I have so many questions。 Why Dash?! What are they hiding?! I need to know all the secrets!I really enjoyed this book。 If you like RH, academy setting, enemies to lovers, and lots of sexual tension with verbal abuse sprinkled with a “good girl” here and there, you’ll enjoy this book。 。。。more

Karja26,
3。5 STARSthe whiplash I got from the 4! although throughout we slowly discovered tiny bits about each, there was SO much to unravel and hidden from us the reader。 Most bully romances stop the bully tactics once they confirm their feeling for the FMC, however not these dudes continue on with it even to the end which is a CLIFFHANGER。
Desiree,
I received an advance copy of this book。 This was intense。 Grace has a lot of stuff she has gone through and is continually finding herself in。 She is constantly getting in the middle of three other students and all the drama that goes with school them。 She posted a video online about three very rude entitled jerks。 Of course that is the start of the downward spiral。 She now goes to a school where everyone is rich and no one is honest or who they seem to be。 The three very rude entitled jerks al I received an advance copy of this book。 This was intense。 Grace has a lot of stuff she has gone through and is continually finding herself in。 She is constantly getting in the middle of three other students and all the drama that goes with school them。 She posted a video online about three very rude entitled jerks。 Of course that is the start of the downward spiral。 She now goes to a school where everyone is rich and no one is honest or who they seem to be。 The three very rude entitled jerks also go to school there and they are not nice people at all。 They bully her constantly belittle and treat her like trash they want her gone but she cant and they know it。 They have her trapped and they know all her secrets and hold them over her head like an anvil waiting to drop。 They want her one second and then want nothing to do with her the next。 I feel like I have whiplash going back and forth on their emotions and wants。 So much drama with teens。 I really enjoyed the book whiplash and all。 It ended on a cliffhanger I wasn’t expecting。 I cant wait to read the next installment。 The story didn’t really drag it moved pretty quickly。 。。。more

I'm not entirely sure, yet。 There is also a lot of mystery surrounding her background, but I won't focus on that here, as it's part of that overall intrigue factor that's wound throughout the story and I don't want to spoil it。 However, I will say this, for all intents and purposes she goes into Kingsworth alone so it's easy for her to be singled out and bullied, but the majority of that bullying doesn't come from whom you'd expect。 Although I'm still trying to piece together who some of the players are, as this is just the first book in this series and like I said, there is a bigger puzzle to solve and as a reader we've only been given a fraction of the pieces。This is a reverse harem story and wowza!! One of the love interests。。。oh my。。。he is one of those love to hate and hate to love types。 Due to the dubious nature of the story their chemistry wasn't completely in your face, but like I said he does grow on you and with a harem there is always support when the hating becomes too much。 That is what makes a harem so wonderful。。。right?!?Just when things were really heating up and the plot was getting juicy of course the book leaves us on a cliffhanger。。。。so I'm left here needing more and I'm dying to know how everything turns out for Grace。 。。。more
