An excellent beginning, I'm excited for more!

Saint is the quintessential high school bully romance with a twist; there's dark intrigue, a plot that makes you want to yell at the main character to just spill the beans already, and, of course, a man with a dark nature that is slowly warming up to our female protagonist. Saint is a blondie with blue eyes, and I laughed hard when Mallory called him "Hot Draco". I enjoy having an actual person to think of when I consider the characters in a story since it allows me to have a mental image of what they look like, but that one took the cake! Anyway, Saint is brooding, intense, and darkly delicious. He and Mallory are drawn together, despite both of them fight the connection at first. I have to say that I am SO glad that the author didn't fall into the normal pitfall of these kinds of enemies-to-lovers romances where the female protag gets caught up in her own head and her introspection adds hours to the length of the book as she contemplates why her body reacts one way and her mind another. If it were so abnormal, hate sex wouldn't be a thing, right?

Mallory is young woman on the cusp of adulthood just trying to get her life together and it seems that the universe is doing absolutely everything in its' power to stop her from doing just that. She harbors a deep-seated guilt when it comes to her past, and she just wants to move on but it just continues to catch up with her. Not only that, but her hot tormentor begins to develop feelings for her along the way as well. There are just enough of the steamy scenes that it didn't detract from the plot at all (another pitfall I've come to see often lately) and the character development of both Saint and Mallory is intriguing to say the least. I'm really glad that I waited to start the series until the last book was out, since I wholeheartedly plan on devouring these novels with ruthless precision until I get to the conclusion. The cliffhanger we're left with at the end of the book had me ready to buy and start the second book immediately and that's what I'm going to do, right... about.... now! I recommend it, no doubt about it. 10/10 angels ;)
Happy listening!

Holy hell this book is amazing. I read and listened to the audiobook of it and just couldn't stop. It's intense, addictive and sometimes you will find yourself laughing out loud. The narrator does a really good job as well

Have fun...

Jump right into this book...but make sure you buckle up. Twists and turns galore. What a ride.

4 1/2 STARS ⭐️

I love bully books! I gobble them up like candy. This one is by a new to me author and I was pleasantly surprised! There is a lot of wtf moments and a lot of wanting to punch the H moments as well. The steamy scenes are smoking hot so be ready! This of course ends in a cliffhanger and I hope the h makes the H GROVEL in the next book.

Narration was 5++++ ⭐️ Addison is great at narrating high school books.

SO GOOD

KEEPS YOU ON YOUR TOES. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. IF YOU LIKE THE BULLY READS CHECK THIS OUT.

A very intense book!

This was a very intense book which was hard to listen to at times. Mallory was a girl with deep hidden secrets. One day, out of the blue she gets a call to attend a really prestigious high school with a full scholarship. From the moment she lands at the airport, she is greeted by two pretentious snobs, one who torments her throughout her year there.

On her first day, she makes the mistake of defending somebody who is being tormented by the “god” of the school. That mistake started a continuous form of bullying from everyone at the school with the exception of a friend she meets the first day. The one thing about this book is it’s hard to believe that high school is like this. You can probably guess what’s going to happen. The bully falls in lust with the girl, and it’s very intense. It’s hard for her to trust him because of who he was and she’s been warned many times to stay away from him.

There is a huge cliffhanger that you never see coming and it’s big. I don’t know which direction the series is going to go, but I’m looking forward to it being on audiobook soon.

The narrator did a good job, but I think she should’ve used a southern accent when she was voicing Mallory because there are times in the book where they mention her Georgia accent. There was no accent in the narrators voice. That would be the only negative I would say about the performance.

10/10

Highly recommend. Amazing narration. And I felt like I knew the characters which I love. Hot and witty with steamy secrets doesn’t get any better
