Mercilessly beautiful cruel. Relentlessly sensual vicious. Utterly delicious vile.Marrying into the famous Godalming slayer-clan was supposed to be my family’s big break. Our clan is fractured, my brother is dead, and my mother’s spirit was broken by the ordeal. I’d do anything to make her proud and see her truly smile again.I’d even spend a year in the snobby, prestigious Libra Academy with Lord … prestigious Libra Academy with Lord Godalming’s gorgeous son.
I don’t know what I did to earn Will Godalming’s seething hatred, but he’ll do anything to get rid of me for good, even if he sometimes seems like the only one who understands me. Sura Enver is almost irresistible with a cruel streak a mile wide, but he’s hiding dark secrets under those knockout looks. And when I put a dying vampire out of her misery, I end up at the very top of an ancient warrior’s hit list. No sane slayer angers Càel the White Wolf, the fiercest knight of the vampires’ Clouded Court.
They’re unstoppable. Wicked. Malignant. And each wants to make me suffer. Between the torment of Libra’s eat-or-be-eaten rules and the rising threat of a new vampire king, enemies prowl on all sides.
But they’re messing with the wrong slayer.

Such a great book. This story will keep you captivated. Victoria Holmwood is her to stay and will fight for that right. She is such a strong character. I definitely have a love hate relationship with Will and Sura. You want to like them but then they do something stupid. There are so many secrets being kept. Victoria wants her name on the wall of the academy to prove the Holmwood’s deserve to be there. With will conspiring against her will she be able to hang on? I am super excited for the next book.
I ADORE this book! I was in the mood for some bully RH and Ill Will delivered absolutely EVERYTHING that I wanted! It’s steamy AF, with so many lines and situations that made me laugh out loud. Not to mention that the tension between the characters is downright exquisite. Highly, highly recommended!
You are not prepared for this journey…
I do not quite have the words for this book but I’m going to try.
Started with your standard paranormal bully set up. Tori has a new step family. Instead of bonding, her new stepbrother takes the dick route. Will has issues with Tori but would rather try to run her off than confront her over how she wronged him.
Tori joins Will at Libra Academy. They have two very different sets of goals they hope to accomplish. Tori wishes to honor her dead brother. Will wants her humiliated and disgraced.
Being new puts Tori at disadvantage because Will has the people to help him ruin her. Except for his best friend Sura, who is fascinated with Tori for his own reason.
Then there’s the vengeful Alpha vampire inserting himself into Tori’s life. He’s a whole different style of complicated.
Add a couple twists and turns that have me reading the last quarter of the book while covering half my face. I did NOT see that coming. It went beyond the lines I thought the author had set for her characters. Unexpected is not a good enough word to describe how the ending went. I have no clue how those three are going to come to terms with what happened.
Y’all I needed book 2 yesterday. I’m dying a little more inside each day I go without knowing what happens next. I need vengeance! I must have resolution!
I was provided an ARC for an honest review.
This was my first intro to this Arthur books. I really enjoyed this book great detailed to the story plot. I love the bully romance theme I am excited to see what going to happen next for our heroine.
This book takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride! The connection the author builds between you and Victoria will put you in the middle of the story. You experience everything she goes through as if you yourself were there in her place. Her feelings of confusion, sadness, lust, determination, and anger- they are your feelings as well. There is no need to imagine whats going on, because you are there. So stop wasting time reading reviews and go buy the book already, I promise you wont regret it!
Another AMAZING start to a new series! I loved everything about this book. The multiple points of view, bully, academy, reverse harem, kick ass heroine, and different paranormals really tied the whole thing together in an incredible tale. I was on the edge of my seat… and that ending?!?! Oh please please please let book 2 release like tomorrow
ANOTHER GREAT START TO AN ACADEMY SERIES! Once I started reading this book, I couldn’t put it down. It sucked me in from the first page. It has the right amount of everything and the FMC is a bad a**!! She is strong with a not so perfect past but takes not shit from no one not even her step brother who i swear i wanted to kill at some point’s. It was a great written story and i can’t wait for book 2!!
This was an epic and mind blowing start to a new series! After her mother marries into the famous Godalming family, Victoria finds herself with high expectations from her stepfather, a stepbrother out for her blood, and in Libra Academy to fulfill her deceased brother’s wish. Her peers have been sabotaging and bullying her from her arrival, but Tori has a tough wall that seems impossible to crack. This battle between stepsister against stepbrother will leave you an emotional wreck and wanting to see how far they’ll go. I absolutely loved the world building and the realistic characters that Cate has created! Every character is strong willed in their own way, but deep down they all have a weakness and a breaking point. Tori is stubborn and snarky, Will is broody, but always watching, Sura is flirtatious and mysterious, and Cael is dangerous and possessive. Watching the relationships she develops with Will, Sura, and Cael through her POV and theirs is like no other and it’s enthralling to say the least. This book was an emotional rollercoaster between the good, the bad, and the sexy, and had you feeling every single moment while keeping you on the edge of your seat. With the way this book ended I definitely thought, “holy shit”, and I can’t wait to see what Tori has in store for the second semester!

THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT START TO AN ACADEMY SERIES! Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. It sucked me in from the first page. It has the right amount of bullying, steamy scenes and action. There is even a bit of betrayal. Oh boy does it get intense from the get go.
The main character Victoria Holmwood (Tori) is freaking amazing!! She is a kick butt and ask questions later type of chick. She is strong, determine, smart and beautiful. She has had a rough past and that is what made her who she is. Then she starts school with her step brother who happens to be one of the bullies. Then there is Sura who is freaking hot and happens to be her step brothers best friend so he bullies by extension. That is just a complicated relationship. Then you meed a sexy Viking Vampire who is captivated by Tori. Tori has ideals that she wants to stick with until something happens and all of that changes. These bullies tried to break her, but what they do not know is they just messed with the wrong chick. OH MY WORD, I CANNOT WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK!!
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Wow awesome book. Can’t wait to read the next one… Revenge is sweet, this book pretty much covers all the supernatural races. But I won’t say which ones in paticular, you will have to read it to find out. This book was so hard to put down that I read it from start to finish in one sitting. Loved it. Now when’s the next out?
