Ravenshaw Falls was supposed to be my haven, my sanctuary away from my past. And then I stepped into its elite high school…Victor, Jessica, Adrienne and Elijah. The beautiful, rich kids of Ravenshaw Academy, and the meanest.They love reigning supreme and pushing the new kids around. Unfortunately for them, I’m not the kind to sit back and simply take it. They don’t know the kind of things I’ve … it. They don’t know the kind of things I’ve already faced back home.
But little did I know that with every button of theirs I push, I only dig a deeper hole for myself…

Cruel Bully is the first installment in a Bully Duet that has plenty of angst and grit. It is Dark and entertaining with plenty of drama that the characters tend to revel in. It is an intense, enjoyable read. I definitely plan on reading more books by this new to me author! 4 Stars!
This was the first book I have read by author Iris Taylor and I couldn’t put the book down! I can’t wait to read Part Two in the Ravenshaw Academy series. Angel aka Cara was anxious for her and her mother to move from Winsley, Alabama eight hours away to Ravenshaw Falls. For years Angel has been sexually used and abused by her mother’s half brother, Sam and his buddies. Angel kept it a secret from everyone including her mother for years. Now she can hardly wait to be at a new school for her senior year before going off to college. But as soon as she starts at Ravenshaw Academy the bullying starts. Strange things are happening all around her. It seems that someone knows her past but who? This book is a must read and I highly recommend!
Heartbreaking and Tragic!
WOW! This is a very heartbreaking story. It took me on an intense roller coaster ride of emotions. Right from the start Cara’s story brought tears to my eyes and made my heart ache for her. Her story is gritty, raw and very dark. Cara’s life has not been easy. But she shows us just how strong and resilient she is in the face of adversity. Her strength and resiliency is what makes her powerful in such harsh conditions. I can’t wait to read how she can overcome the next nasty phase of her life.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I just have to say that it will not be the last. The writing is phenomenal. This amazing author weaves a story that makes us feel such intense emotions. Highly recommend.
This is my first time reading this author and I enjoyed this dark plot that does have some triggers in it. As this is book 1 it does end in a cliffhanger and so be prepared to need to read book 2.

Intense, and Emotional!!
This is my first time reading anything written by this author, and I really enjoyed reading this book. This is the first book in the Ravenshaw Academy series, and the story of Cara. Cara has gone through a lot in her young life, and she thinks the move, she is making to a new town is going to be her fresh start, but when she arrives at school, isn’t made welcome by the school Elite, and they bully, and torment her. This was an emotional read, intense, and dramatic. I look forward to reading the second book, and continuing Cara’s story.
I didn’t expect this book to be as short as it was.
My heart broke for Cara, she’s been through so much. She made some decisions I didn’t agree with, but I still love her. I like her chemistry with Victor, I loved how he was with her. BUT HE’S ON MY SHIT LIST FOR NOW. I’m not trusting him. I CANT! And if he had some part in what happened at the ending, I’ll cancel him. Also, I need a thorough explanation of what happened between him and Jessica at that party.
I hope Adrienne and Sam get what they deserve, they can’t go unpunished.
I’m still shocked by the Jack and Lily thing, like wtf?!
Anyways, I’m looking forward to the next book.
This book had me drawn in from the beginning and kept my attention throughout. It’s well written and characters are well written as well. A really good book and I recommend reading.
