King of Corium

King of Corium is the first book in the Corium University Trilogy. This book is told from dual points of view by Quinton and Aspen.

Both Quinten and Aspen go to Corium University. An underground school where criminals send their kids to learn to become better criminals. Aspen’s father is arrested for being a rat, and now everyone at school treats Aspen as a rat. She is bullied daily, and the staff treats Aspen like scum.

Quinton is one of the ring leaders torturing Aspen daily, but as the torture goes on he realizes he can bribe her to get what she wants and she can get things she needs like food and blankets. However, as he’s bribing her he starts to develop feelings for her.

Quinton is trying to figure out his own answers to things that have happened in the past. Aspen’s mother keeps telling her she is safer at Corium, even though she is being bullied. What happens when Quinton finds something that belongs to his sister? Can Aspen stay safe at the school or will she try to leave?

So much happens in this book, and I can’t wait to see what happens between Aspen and Quinton in the next book!
