What Makes Patri

 


Three Divisions (Crescentwood #1)

by R.A. Smyth
Release Date: February 2021
Genre: Contemporary, Dark, Polyamorous, Reverse Harem, Young Adult, High School
Goodreads | Amazon

Synopsis:

Mum is dead.
The father I never knew has claimed me, and I’ve been uprooted from my world and thrown into a life of privilege.
I’m not welcome here.
Two boys are leading the school to drive me out, and I’m being followed constantly by two more.

Things are much darker here than I thought; Crescentwood is full of dangerous criminals and dirty politicians.
I’m a pawn in a game I don’t know how to play, but I’m stronger than they know.

Trust no one. Corruption rules this town.

***This book is a reverse harem, meaning the FMC will have three or more love interests.
The book also has trigger warnings for emotional/physical bullying and abuse, violent scenes, reference to suicide and mature content/swearing, so please do not read if you are easily offended or have the mentioned triggers
This book is intended for 18+



I started this book not knowing what I was diving into. The amazing people at Affinity Author Services sent a a digital copy of the book in exchange of my honest review and I did not just read it, I INHALED IT. I read THREE DIVISIONS in one sitting and then immediately after started book 2 (otherwise, I would have fainted) and now I am eagerly waiting for book 3. April can't come soon enough.

Let's back up a bit. So the story starts with the POV from a guy who is clear is the "bad guy here" trying to expand his less than legal business to higher levels (not going to lie I thought he was going to be one of the characters we needed to root for and I was already judging). But then, the story starts with Sophie. A strong MC where life has moulded her to be resilient and always fall on her 2 feet. Something happens to her where she ends up being shipped to the US to live with her father, who she has never heard of before.

However, the new expected improvement in life, soon becomes clear that it's not that. Her father is clearly dangerous and she stepped into a school where the 2 guys from the wealthiest families (also the hottest) hate her just by association to her father, and into a world where she is being monitored, followed around and forced to make friends.

Can I just say that Ty and Aiden are my favourite characters? There I said it.

This story, well the series in general, is dark and twisted. Everything you expect in a story where gangs are involved and the wealthy can do anything they want. R.A. Smyth did a great job balancing the plot with mystery and building the relationships between all the characters, as well as leading to the plot twists and discoveries we unravel at the end of the book.

Highly recommend this RH romance suspense if you enjoy bully romance, a bit of suspense and some dark scenes from time to time. I am definitely staying here and waiting for book 3.

Queen of Quarantine (Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep #4)

by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti
Published: February 14th 2021
Genre: Reverse Harem, Romance, Contemporary, Dark, New Adult, High School, Suspense, Mystery, Romantic suspense, Fiction, Polyamorous
Goodreads | Amazon
Synopsis:

Once upon a time I met four monsters and thought the world would come to an end at their hands.

But I was a fool.
Because I didn’t understand the bigger picture.
That the enemies I thought I knew would become the reason for my entire existence. My strength. My pain. My life. My love.

The big bad wolf has teeth and claws as sharp as iron, and the danger before my eyes is blinding. So blinding that I didn’t see the true danger lurking in the dark.

But now my eyes are wide open and I see it all.

Alone and afraid and running out of time, I’m not afraid of monsters anymore.

I’m counting on them to come for me.

Because if they don’t, this foolish girl might be lost forever in the dark.




If you are like me and like to take a sneak peak at all the reviews in a series, just go and read this series. It is worth it. Now with the disclaimer, that my review my contain spoilers if you haven't read the previous 3 books.

This is one of the most bittersweet books I have read in a while: I am happy that Caroline & Susanne gave us the ending Tatum, Saint, Blake, Kyan and Nash deserved, but I am also sad their journey is over.

in this fourth and last instalment in the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series, Tatum has been kidnapped by Saint's father since he discovered she can be used to produce a vaccine and can sell them to the highest bidder (Seriously, this book was like looking at a parallel window to the craziness we are currently living). Susanne & Caroline were that naughty with the massive cliff-hanger in book 3 and made us wait holding our breaths, but luckily the boys rescue Tatum and you follow them throughout the journey of outsmarting Saint's father, surviving and ending the whole organisation that caused the pandemic and among other atrocities.

I like that we also get to learn a bit more about Tatum's family background and how we get more time with Kyan's crazy uncle who is having his own series (now available to read, by the way).

Overall, Caroline & Susanne build up this story to be more than just a RH bully-romance and I liked how the relationship between the guys and Tatum has built and change throughout the 4 books, even with Nash being part of their tight group to the point where they would do anything for each other. The ending did justice to our beloved characters and let's just say that everyone got what they deserved..... *smiles wickedly*

Now for the important things, I think my favourite guy is Kyan because I am attracted to his fierceness and craziness so there you go. Also, throughout the story he was the one that always made me laugh by poking at Saint so..... There. I said it. 🦑🦑

Thank you to Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti and Erica Collins for giving me early access to QUEEN OF QUARANTINE to write an honest review about the book.
