Hurt me so good with that ending From the moment I discovered Evie Kady I was a fan of her work。 Cruel Saints is another delicious series that I know I won't be able to stop thinking about。 In a sea of bully academy books, Cruel Saints brings a fresh spin on the genre。 It’s political, and maybe a little magical, with the theme running throughout he plot。 There’s a mystery to our new girl, to the school, and to the boys that attend。 No one is who they say they are, and everyone is fair game。 The Hurt me so good with that ending From the moment I discovered Evie Kady I was a fan of her work。 Cruel Saints is another delicious series that I know I won't be able to stop thinking about。 In a sea of bully academy books, Cruel Saints brings a fresh spin on the genre。 It’s political, and maybe a little magical, with the theme running throughout he plot。 There’s a mystery to our new girl, to the school, and to the boys that attend。 No one is who they say they are, and everyone is fair game。 The twists were sneaky and the ending lived up to the name… just cruel。 😂 thankfully book 2 is out so I won’t have to suffer。 There’s dancing, there’s music, there’s royals, and bullies so sly you don’t know which direction it’s coming。 If you enjoy this genre, pick it up。 If you’re curious, pick it up。 Just pick it to basically。 I live in a way that it’s not clear who the live interests will be。 You get hints but I know from past books that doesn’t always mean they become love interests。 I’m intrigued to know who will be the MM couple too。 Eek。 So many goodies to come。 Slow burn。 Single POV。 Bully。 Political。 Academy。 RH。 Cliffy。 。。。more

An interesting blurb caught my attention and I chose to read this book based on it。 I thought the author wrote a story that had some really promising moments。 The tension was palpable。 The characters were intriguing as was the storyline。 I look forward to reading more books in this series。 I requested a copy of this book so I could provide an honest review。

A glimpse into a political world that is different from my own, intriguing and delightful。 Darkness that wants to find it's light。 I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next installment。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 A glimpse into a political world that is different from my own, intriguing and delightful。 Darkness that wants to find it's light。 I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next installment。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

First, thank you for the chance to read this book。 Well I did enjoy the book, the characters are unique in their own way。 I had a bit of a hard time understanding everything that went on in the book and felt a few things were missing to explain some of the events happening。 But that’s what second books are for and I’m intrigued to read what else will happen!I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

This was quite a dark bully romance。 I felt for Jessa as things are hard at her new school, but like how her characters seems to grow stronger as the story progresses。 There was quite a bit of twists in the novel which made it entertaining to read。 And the cliffhanger makes you wonder what will happen next。I received a free advanced review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my fair and honest opinion。

Before i start my review i want to say that i actually liked this book。 Jessa (FMC) was a cracking character。 She tried so hard to fit into this new academy in a new country - Scotland。 Where she wasnt welcomed and was like a fish out of water。 More so being female and American。 I was frustrated by the girls that were students there。 I understand the situation they were in within the academy but i just felt that they had no loyalty and they all out for themselves。 Same goes for the teachers。 All Before i start my review i want to say that i actually liked this book。 Jessa (FMC) was a cracking character。 She tried so hard to fit into this new academy in a new country - Scotland。 Where she wasnt welcomed and was like a fish out of water。 More so being female and American。 I was frustrated by the girls that were students there。 I understand the situation they were in within the academy but i just felt that they had no loyalty and they all out for themselves。 Same goes for the teachers。 All bar one had any sympathy at all。 Dont get me started on the Headmistress!!! I literally wanted to slap the woman silly she annoyed me that much。 She seemed to have a love of giving out detentions especially giving them to Jessa。 The poor girl had basically nowhere to turn too most of the book。 Until Danny and Finley showed their backbones。 Which i loved them for doing that。 Im still trying to work out Luke out and Rory just got my back up until the last chapter。 The last few pages made the book for me。 Jessa grew so much in confidence and i literally wanted to cheer for her!!! Im actually looking forward to the next book with that cliffhanger ending。 A pretty great read 。。。more

Lochkelvin is a gripping read from start to finish, full of dark material and sobering topics。The writing was fantastic, The story is well written, without lots of repeated phrases or scenarios, equaling a plot that manages to keep hold of your interest without feeling too ‘same-y’ or repetitive。 The complex character stories link well and are easily followed,with a great buildup and finished with that all important cliffhanger!!The book is full of drama, humour, seduction, betrayal, a splash of Lochkelvin is a gripping read from start to finish, full of dark material and sobering topics。The writing was fantastic, The story is well written, without lots of repeated phrases or scenarios, equaling a plot that manages to keep hold of your interest without feeling too ‘same-y’ or repetitive。 The complex character stories link well and are easily followed,with a great buildup and finished with that all important cliffhanger!!The book is full of drama, humour, seduction, betrayal, a splash of blackmail and a female character that comes on top?Evie Kady really makes you feel like you’re there, coming along on this wild ride of a story, which really impressed me。You HAVE to read this, you’re missing out on a great book if you don’t!Tldr: Another great bully storyline,with lots to offer with a naturally occurring cliffhanger that doesn’t break your heart, but of course, leaves you salivating for the next book in the series!5*’s all the way!! 。。。more

Cruel Saint takes place in Lochkelvin, a very old, all boys school in Scotland who just recently decided to let girls in。 The story begins with Jessa, an American student, who has to navigate this one of kind place and try to survive it。 It was my first book by Evie Kady and it won't be my last because I simply cannot stop after that ending。 Spoiler, it ends in a cliffhanger and not the fun kind。 It's more the kind where you want to pull your hair from your head and scream。 I had so many mixed f Cruel Saint takes place in Lochkelvin, a very old, all boys school in Scotland who just recently decided to let girls in。 The story begins with Jessa, an American student, who has to navigate this one of kind place and try to survive it。 It was my first book by Evie Kady and it won't be my last because I simply cannot stop after that ending。 Spoiler, it ends in a cliffhanger and not the fun kind。 It's more the kind where you want to pull your hair from your head and scream。 I had so many mixed feelings reading that book。 It was good and intense and I could really relate to the heroine but I also sometimes wanted to punch her a little and I'm beginning to think she would have let me。 Her dancing really got to me。 Those scene are so well written I could see it, feel it, all like I was there。 I would have liked multiple POVs because I cannot for the life of me figure out some of the boys in this book, but it adds to the political intrigue。 It's a good book with a twist on the bully trope with all the political mixed in the story。 And hopefully, karma will bite some people in the ass in the next books。 You should give it a chance。 。。。more

I started this book just knowing it was a reverse harem。 As I started to read it I got some insight to the mc and who her possible harem could be。 The biggest problem for me was how little romance there was。 Don’t get me wrong the book all together was pretty smooth and I wanted to keep going I just felt there should have been more romance。 I’m not a big fan of slow burn books。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Can’t wait for the next book! Not much spice in this one but I can feel the buildup 🥵🥵🥵 a few of the characters had me so frustrated for the majority but I especially love the one character in that wears the kilt 🥰

I cannot wait for the next book in the series。 What a cliffhanger at the end! Cruel Saints is the first book in a bully academy reverse harem series。 You are introduced to Jessa, the FMC, and as the book develops more of her past comes to light。 She starts out as quiet, almost a pushover。 Her strength builds as the chapters progress。 The book is full of political intrigue on a country wide scale as well as at the school。 It gives a bit of depth and realness to the social hierarchy at the school。 I cannot wait for the next book in the series。 What a cliffhanger at the end!

Nah, it was every girl for themselves and Jessa was often the subject of the blame, because it was easy, not because she actually did the thing。 Jessa's internal struggle and past trauma was written beautifully and Evie really did a wonderful job with all of the characters。 I couldn't put this book down。 Read this book! 。。。more

I thought this book might be a run-of-the-mill bully romance, but the setting and twists along the way made it very intriguing! It’s definitely a slow burn romance, but I’m excited for book 2!
