She’ll be the truth they fear.The name at the front says Katalyst Academy. But I know that’s a lie. I call it what it is. My prison. My cell. My end. They brought me here in handcuffs, dressed me in a stranger’s clothes and pretended to care. But the food they give me is poison, and the other girls are not my friends. They corner me, they hurt me…they bully. Until one day in the training yard … me…they bully. Until one day in the training yard someone comes to my defense.
Orphic.
I’ve heard his name whispered…along with three others he sits with.
The Pack, they call them.
Boys with no families. Brothers in arms.
They take me in, protect me…they make me one of them.
Until one day Orphic leads me out into the training yard…And there’s no one but the bully’s there.
They’ll spill my blood. They’ll break my bones.
They think I’ll crumble.
They think I’ll cave.
But there’s only one way to deal with people like them.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I started this book but it was thoroughly surprised! it was very well written with amazing world building, and I love where the story is going!!! There was so many unanswered questions at the end and I cannot wait until the second book! There’s a little bit of everything in this book, paranormal/magic, dream worthy boys– Orphic and Maxton (drools) my faves! And just that fact that the book started off with her rescuing kittens won me over! I’m my own crazy cat lady haha. I highly recommend this book!!!
This book was quite the intense ride!! I devoured this book, start to finish.. I couldnt stop til I finished. And after that, I CRAVE the next book!
Evie was a strong character, well written. I felt for her, having acted out and stolen my own mother’s car back in my teens.. LoL! I haven’t decided how I feel about the guys yet..
The end left me with questions unanswered.. But consider me hooked! I cant wait to read the next book.
I just know that I’m going to love this series. I was hooked almost immediately. Well written, great world building, clearly defined characters, all of the things that contribute to good fiction. And the story, well it’s just plain good. Too good to pass up.
This is the story of Evie, a young woman who is sent to the Katalyst Academy for “troubled” teens. Evie was a bit of a wild child and is being severely punished for it. At the Academy, Evie is bullied, poisoned and beaten by the mean girls but she also meets the four Kings, the young men who rule the school. They tell her they’ll keep her safe. Despite her intuition warning her to be careful of them, she opens herself to their influence. Quite possibly one of her greatest mistakes.
The book ends on a cliffhanger, but I’m so intrigued to see what happens that I’ll just have to be patient and wait for the next book. It’s gonna be hard to do that! Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy a bully academy book – you won’t be disappointed! I just finished this and.. Wow. I have so many questions! Just goes to show how engaging the story is and the fact that it sucks you right in. My first thought when I started reading was this is so different from all the other academy bully books I have read. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first but as I kept reading, it just became more intriguing and I just could not put it down. I had to pace myself! The build-up towards the end, where I’m thinking, ok so here are some answers to questions I’ve had since the beginning, it was written well IMO. To me, a writer has done a superb job when I can truly feel what the MC is going through – her highs, her lows and everything in between. Wink, wink! LOL. Since it’s a series, the other characters are still somewhat of a mystery and I can’t wait to read more about them in Book 2. And of course, for the MC to kick ass – again!
For those that love bully RH, this book is a definite must read. It will pull you in from the beginning. The MC is like any angry teenager and when she gets sent off her world is turned upside down. This book left me screaming at the MC and wanting the next book immediately.

Wow wow wow
This is my first time reading the author Atlas Rose, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect diving into bully. Well let me tell you I was not disappointed!! I’m usually not one to read reverse harem books but I’m so glad I dived I to bully.
Bully is the first book in the Academy of lies series, the main character is Evie and her harem ( the kings) Orphic, Nathair, Maxton and Acyn. Evie ends up at Katalyst after getting into some trouble with her friends. The school ends up being more of a prison than anything else Most of book one navigates how Evie deals with being thrust into her own personal hell and how the kings try to help her deal with the bullying and the ” mean girl “. The last 30% of the book had me guessing what was going to happen next and kept me on the edge the entire time. There is a cliff hanger ending but boy did it ever make me want book Two RIGHT NOW.
Atlas Rose is now officially on my one click list.
Talk about a binge worthy read. Evie is a rebellious girl after her mom leaves dad. She hates her mom or thinks she does. She gets in trouble and gets sent away to Katalyst Academy. Seems more like a prison to me. Gets beaten and bullied by the head bad girl. Everyone laughs and she tries to avoid them all. Until she Meets Orphic and the Katalyst Kings. That ending though. The hurt, the betrayal, that anger. What is Evie really???
Loved it from beginning to end. Craving the next installment.
After bad girl Evie steals a car from her mum, takes it for a joyride with her friends and gets caught she ends up in Katalyst Academy. A so called school that has the feeling of a prison and its certainly run like one with the kids being inmates. Some more institutionalized than others. Like any other school it has it fair share of bullies, cliques but its also where trust and friendship are in short supply. So when the Katalyst Kings – Orphic, Maxton, Acyn and Nathair a group of guys who offer both to Evie she is in two minds on whether to trust them or not? Dark, vicious and deliciously devious this book certainly ticks all those boxes but it cleverly changes direction half way through it. It turns the book on its head in a way i didnt see coming and oh boy that ending………….just wow!!! I cant big up this book enough but only if you like your books a bit dark. If not this might not be the book for you. Me? Well i loved it. Bring on book 2
Ohh ok so I read this one, and I totally need the next one. Damn what a book. I was so engrossed I didn’t realise it was 2am. I need to know what happens next. What a way to end the book …. Throughly enjoyed this book. Highly recommend to those who like Bully RH’s ohh yeah.
This book for me was a fresh twist on a bully romance. With dark moments and steamy scenes, this world was easy to read and love. The fmc felt real like and believable to me and im looking forward to seeing the characters develop. Excited for book two cannot recommend enough.
Wow. This story comes at you in such a force that you can not put the book down. The book starts with evie just being a normal teenager. But as things go from bad to worse for evie, you just can’t imagine the horrors she has to live with when she’s sent to the academy. There’s heaps of questions you’ll want answers to and atlas loves to keep us readers guessing. Some scenes were brutal and some were hot! This book leaves you wanting more and you’ll sit gripped to the pages NEEDING more. Loved the characters and world building. The emotions is this book will make this read one you won’t forget. I need book two so badly but I loved every second of evie and her kings! Did not disappoint!
I received an arc for an honest review
****I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy ****
Atlas Rose, I don’t know what to say except OMG what in the world did I just read!!! I am shocked, sad and want more.
This book is incredible and I just got sucked in so quickly. My head is still spinning just trying to soak it all in. The main character is Evie Richards who is determined to escape her hell. There are so many secrets, mystery and lies going on, that I had to backtrack a few times to understand what is going on. Something happens to Evie that lands her at Katalyst Academy. There she is met with hatred from the girls real quick. Then you meet the Kings of Katalyt, Orphic, Maxton, Nathair, and Acyn. These four guys seem to be quiet and watch a lot of what goes on but doesn’t stop any of it. However, there is a ton of mystery that comes with them. It’s like you can see what their intentions are but then it quickly changes. They have this aura around them that allows them to be able to control the situation. Evie is trying her best to make it through until she was given some bad news and then everything just gets insane. Then the girls get to her and she has no one to help her.
The build up of they story was crazy intense, heart pounding and dark. There is a lot of questions that are unanswered, however i feel for the next person that crosses Evie’s path. Atlas Rose, I have not devoured a book so fast and cannot wait for the next book.
