Wow, this is a dark and twisted bully romance, it is high in angst and it got under my skin at times but I found the story so mesmerizing that I could not put the book down. K.G. Reuss is a gifted author, I enjoyed her writing style, she created interesting and complex characters and storylines. Fox and Rosie lived next door to each other since they were kids, they were best of friends, until Fox abruptly ended their friendship. They both attend the same H.S. Fox is one of the most popular, he and his friends, Cole, Enzo and Ethan practically rule the school. Rosie was not part of the “in” crowd, she blended into the background. But somehow she finds herself falling on radar of the most popular kids in school, first the mean girls lead by Juliet go after her. Then her torment is brought up to another level when Fox and his cronies choose her for their next conquest. The author does an amazing job building up the characters and their relationships, including Fox and his friends. She gives you enough details for the moment but holds back enough making you want to know more and wonder what the deal with them, as well as with Fox. Rosie is the only one we really get to know, I was rooting for her the entire book and was happy to see her grow as a person. This is a great reverse harem bully romance, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, heartfelt and emotional moments, some thrilling ones too and sexual tension that is through roof. This book may take you out of your comfort zone at times but stick with it because it is so worth it. K.G. Reuss, thank you for this awesome book and for the emotional rollercoaster ride. I loved the ending and am looking forward to what comes next in this series, I hope it comes out on audio soon.
??? And for the fabulous narration, Sarah Puckett is a talented narrator and versatile voice artist. She covers the roles for all the characters, gives each their own distinct voice which makes it easy to follow along and tell who is who. Her portrayal of the characters is spot on, she grasps their personality as well as their attitude, making them sound just as I am picturing them to sound. You could hear how much heart she puts into her work as she captures the characters emotions and projects them into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen?
