I really think this was right book, wrong time. It's 100% not the books fault because the premise is amazing and I feel like if I gave the book a second chance I would love it so I probably will when I'm in the mood for it.
Everything though was so good, the plot and the characters. The setting, I don't think I've read something so atmospheric from page 1, the 1920's New Orleans just screams The Originals and I loved that....more
Just want to say a huge thank you to Netgalley and Little Brown Book Group for the e-arc!

I'm in love with this cover and once I read the synopsis, I knew I had to sign up and once I got approved I basically finished my current read and instant dove into this. And for the most part it did give the dark academia, forbidden romance, religious undertones like suggested. And I wish I could rate it higher but I just spent most of this book confused.
Although I did really enjoy Laura's pov at times, I also just felt like I got lost. I feel this could 100% just not be my cup of tea despite how much I wanted it to be. The prose though did create a very atmospheric and dark vibe throughout the book.
Huge thank you NetGalley and Hachette for the early copy!

Elle Kennedy did not miss with this book, she knew what she was doing. I thought I wasn't really going to be invested being two non 'Off Campus' children but I still loved absolutely every second. I also find I eat up the hate to love, animosity in sport college romance, and somehow it's always book 2 and I love it.
I loved Diana and Shane, the way their story naturally unfolded with a fake dating subplot was perfect. And let's talk about all the Off Campus/Briar U mentions, for one seeing all four OC boys, my heart melted. I love them so much, they are the OG book boyfriends for me. And then all the kids, Dean and Logan over Blake and Beau (I beg Elle to write so we can see Logan and Dean together)!!
The dance scenes with Diana and Shane were hot and I'll leave that at that.
