I don't even know how this book came under my radar, but as soon as I saw that COVER of course my cover hoe eyes yelled at me to BUY it!! I've not read either of these authors before either so I kind of have to change that also!!
For so long it was just the 3 boys, Meyers, Chuck and Bates, the fearsome threesome, best mates who were inseparable, until at the age of twelve a pretty girl moved in across the road from Meyers, and everything changed.
These three were the gods of the school, jocks, and the mean girls were territorial around them so didn't take too kindly for a new comer stepping in a claiming what was rightly theirs. These boys were so soft hearted, but what they were put through was heart wrenching.
To protect her, they had to unfriend her, ignore her, stop talking to her, you get the picture, she had no idea what she'd done wrong. One minute everything was perfect, the next minute her world becamse lonely and unbearable, but the boys thought if they played their cards right and followed these girls demands that they would back off and leave Carrie alone.
Sadly that's not how this story goes. These group of mean girls and yes a few guys too upped the anty and things would never be the same again.
This is broken down into 3 parts, the 1st part I really enjoyed, I loved getting to know the characters, what made them tick, their bonds, their protective natures. The lengths these boys went to keep her safe. Touch her and die vibes when it came to her.
It does delve into some tough topics, the bullying and everything it entailed was switched up a notch in this book to others I've read, these girls were merciless, but got their just deserts in the end.
The second part was like a switch had been switched and it went where I wasn't expecting it, I did not see any of that coming.
The third part tied it all up nicely with the perfect HEA ending.
Personally I don't have any triggers, but what I really liked about this was the authors would give you fair warning at the beginning of a chapter if it was going to dump some darkness on you, and for some I think they would appreciate that, so that was definitely a thumbs up....more

So I jumped in and didn't expect to get pulled in as much as I did, I also didn't expect to read a book a day.
It's not the best bully romance book/series I've read but something just keeps tugging at me to keep reading.
We have the Idols of the school, the usual clique of bully girls, but what's unique is the bets and game changers which pull the strings in the background of an elite powerful group of puppeteers.
And throughout it all I came away with still having my two favourites. #teamcreed #teamzack
There were so many aspects of this series I loved, our heroine was as tough as nails even dealing with seeing a loved one dwindle away, to the most brutal bullying of them all, these guys took bullying to the next level!! And still she stood her ground. The angst and the feels walked hand in hand in this series, twist and turns had me turning the pages at record speeds, even my reading speed was switched up a notch because I've never read this quick before.
I'm so glad I took a chance on this series and the best way is back to back. ...more
After inhaling the first book I'm diving straight into this to see how she's going to come back at them!!
This has a lot more angst thanFull rtc later

This has a lot more angst than the previous book, a gossip girl feel to it. No one is safe, she’s gunning for them and she’s set on vengeance she’s had all summer to think up ploys to bring each and every blu blood down.
Like a train wreck, I’m struggling to look away, I need to find out how she brings down the worst of the worst as I keep everything crossed that in the end she chooses Zack!
It’s not the best bully book/series I’ve read, but it’s definitely entertaining ...more

I wouldn't really call this one of the heaviest bully books I've read, kind of cliche, the mob rich b#tches vying to destroy the poor scholarship girl (the one and only scholarship student), who lived in a train carriage (that sounded so cool btw) with not one coin to rub between her fingers, a mother who abandoned her (literally) and an alcoholic father.
Throw in the three hottest guys in the school and you have your usual cliche storyline. These three (Tristan, Zayd & Creed) call her 'Charity or Working girl' they are the top of the rung.
As soon as she steps foot onto Burberry Prep she's got a target on her back..She just has to survive this year.
You see at this school there is a social hierarchy at the top you have the 3 Idol boys (Tristan, Zayd & Creed) and 3 Idol girls (the mean girls) then you have an inner circle who aren't as popular as the 6 but still known, then you have the lowest rung and that's the 'Plebs' which includes everyone else and Marnye.
This school is reserved solely for the overly filthy rich, so for a poor girl to be amongst them has everyone's backs up. Tristan's family built the school so he's the first to make his disdain known.
Marnye's no stranger to being bullied, it's seems like its been a constant in her life, with no bearing into why. She's not going to go down without a fight,
Her saving grace is her studying, and her profound love for learning which gets her a place within the prestigious academy 'Burberry Prep'
Rubbing shoulders with the super rich didn't change Marnye one bit, in some cases it made her stronger, when the 3 Idols befriend her and have her in their circle she was always waiting for the other shoe to drop, never really taking them at face value, but right at the end she has no one in her corner, not even the 2 that she grew close to, now her next year is all about revenge.

This series is going to be one of my top ones to date, it had everything I could've wished for and more, I didn't think I'd come away feeling as though I was saying goodbye to family members I'd never see again, these characters burrowed themselves so deep within my core, it was hard closing out of that last page.
The end..
Now I have to go on a search and find something similar to this series. ...more
I'd been chasing that release day like a crazy person, especially after that cliffy we were thrown over in the previous book. loved the first book andI'd been chasing that release day like a crazy person, especially after that cliffy we were thrown over in the previous book. loved the first book and couldn't wait to dive back into this crazy world this new to me author had created and got me addicted to. I really want/need to check out her other books, because this series ticked so many boxes and gave me a little Halloween thrill at the same time.
I loved these boys, each different in their own rights, the tough one, the glue, the abused broken one, the and soft one that craved to be loved, and the one girl that loved them fully.
This had a few twisty turns which made my stomach drop, my head spin and my heart break....more
