Dark, Twisted, Unexpected

Poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks ends up at an elite, private boarding school unofficially run by three wealthy, privileged boys with menacing reputations. <br /><br />I was in a reading rut and looking for some to shock me out of it. Pretty Little Savage by Lucy Smoke delivered 110% and didn’t disappoint. It is a slow burn, bully romance with disturbing undertones that keeps you guessing. It ends on a cliffhanger and I CANNOT WAIT to pick up the next book as soon as I’m done writing this review. <br /><br />Avalon is a hard as nails, kickass, take no sh*t girl with a lot of crappy life experiences. She doesn’t use those traumas as a crutch and instead uses them as armor to guard her feelings and teach herself how to be more bad@ss. <br /><br />Stars (overall): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br />Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️<br />POV: Dual<br />HEA: It’s complicated.
