Was undecided about in the beginning but came to love it in the end. Very interesting story and characters. Secrets are exposed and it could get deadly. Can’t wait to read book two!
This was such a page turner! I honestly didn’t think I would like it but was drawn in by the cover and once I started reading I was so glad I did! There is a fair amount of bullying that takes place between the guys and Amelie throughout the book. I liked how sweet Kalen is to her, although he can have a cruel streak when he thinks he’s been wronged. I was so thrown by her interaction with Sawyer in the beginning that I didn’t know what to make of it, but once he found out who she was to his family so much drama ensued. Amelie was the right amount of jaded throughout the book and the more that you found out about her mother and the guys’ POV, you realize there are secrets that need to be uncovered to understand the bigger picture at play. Slate and Onyx are so beyond overbearing and obnoxious but then realize how badly they’ve messed up by the end when Amelie is determined to get back to Australia no matter what. Love the delinquent angle and the secrets behind it, can’t wait for the next one.
Omggggggg that ending! What a rush! I am mentally high-fiving Amelie so hard right now. I did not see that twist coming.
I love everything about this book. I was a little put off about all the winking at first. And I wish there had been some more details about Amelie’s family before she was shipped away. But seeing how this book ends, I realize there is plenty of time for all that.
Amelie is now my role model. Hands down.
“Walking out into the waiting area, I see Baxter is still slouched in the chair spinning an unlit cigarette between his fingers. “You have been summoned,
oh dark and sinful one,” I tell him, bowing low and winking at him when I rise. That earns me a smirk that only a psychopath would give. I love it.”
F*ck You had me turning pages, trying to keep up with where these authors were taking us. An unpredictable, twisted tale of a young girl who is sent to an English school for delinquents. Navigating her way through each lonely day, whilst trying to grasp why she was even sent there. I loved the devious, twisted plot and was left guessing until the very end. Not knowing who she could trust even though the answer was right there in front of her. Everything comes at a price and Amelie is about to sell her soul.
5 F*cking Stars
Amelie was punished for a prank gone wrong. Instead of receiving the normal punishment, she was sent to a reforming academy for delinquents. As it turns out, her mom is dating the headmaster of the school. She also meets her bullies and soon-to-be stepbrothers.

*We have our FMC, Amelie, is one badass chick.She is fierce, tough, cunning, & relentless. She is a survivor. She had survived a rough past between the abuse from her mother and surviving an assault, but she does not let that break her. In fact, she wants to get even.
*Kalen, he is the youngest of the four. He took an instant claim to Amelie. He’s the funny guy, the one always cracking jokes and who wants the attention on him. He is also charming as hell. He’s the only biological son of the headmaster.
*Next, we have the twins, adopted by Headmaster Knox, Slate and Onyx. Onyx, he’s the hot head out of the duo. He channels his rage in MMA. He definitely has an alpha and protective personality. He has walls built up and very cautious on who he lets in. Slate is the more softer one. Although, he has some walls too, he is more the nurturer. He’s a musician and also sings. He’s usually the one to calm Onyx down.
Last, but certainly not least, Sawyer. He was also taken in by Headmaster Knox. Sawyer is also the oldest and is employed as a teacher at the academy. Although, he does have a little something dangerous and fire to him, he is the more level headed one out of the group.
This story was an incredible ride! And that ending showed how much of a boss bitch Amelie really is. She did what had to be done to protect herself. I literally could not put this down. Can’t wait to read more from these authors!
This book is a NA/enemies to lovers and has all the sexual angst while cheering on the FMC to get hers when up against those who target her.
I love it when a story plays out so much drama and I have no idea what direction it’s going to take because theres so many characters who hold my attention.
Pulled in from the get go and when the big picture of whats really going on is revealed, it’s definitely not something I ever saw coming!
I can’t wait to read book two
F*ck You: Knox Academy – Term 1 by Jaye Pratt, Crystal North is a wonderful story that I have read. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series that I am so hooked on. I loved reading this wonderful story with the characters and plot can not wait to read the rest of this wonderful series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about reverse harems.
I read a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy of this book & am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review.
I’ve read a couple of Crystal’s other books before, but Jaye is a completely new author for me so I was excited to see what they could create together. I’ve heard a lot of great things about this one since its elease a couple of months ago and it felt like it was getting recommended everywhere I looked. I really enjoyed this dark academy bully contemporary romance and had a hard time putting it down!
Amelie has a dark past and crappy mother who recently decided she wanted to be in her life again. She has every intention to get herself kicked out and ruin her mother’s life, but she starts to lose her heart in the process to the Knox boys. I think my favorite guys were Kalen and Sawyer. Kalen has a unique personality and Sawyer adds to the forbidden romance by also being a teacher at the academy. I’m still iffy with Onyx and Slate- I still see what they did as unforgivable even if they have chemistry with her. Elsie is my absolute favorite character! I love how she isn’t ashamed of her sexuality, genuinely cares for Amelie, and does her best to make the most of her time at the academy.
This book was filled with angst, steam, secrets, “family” drama, and the intent of revenge. I hope we eventually get to meet Smalls and Aadi because they seem like they would be fun characters and I’d love to see their reaction to the Knox boys and Baxter. I liked that the book didn’t really end on a cliffhanger, but I’m glad that the series will continue. I honestly hope that Amelie doesn’t easily forgive the guys, gives them hell, and sticks it to her mother.
*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
This book has a crazy, dangerous and fucked up feeling about it, and I fucking love it. It’s also fun and made me laugh a lot, specially Kalen. There were times I was so frustrated, I didn’t know what’s was happening and just wanted to understand what was going on. Despite that, I couldn’t put my phone down, it was addicting. I just needed to know more, to figure it out. And the boys? I wasn’t expecting that plot twist with the guys at all, when I was finally warming up to the twins, they had to go and fuck it all up. Even Kalen! The sweet, funny boy. Damn it broke my heart, but it also made me want to kick some ass.
I love Amelia’s confidence, and that she isn’t the cliché goody two shoes with the rich perfect family upbringing. She’s real. She’s also so fucking strong, and I love how she fights for what she wants and needs, she’s not a damsel in distress, she’s a badass bitch that doesn’t take shit from anyone. To find out that Baxter plays a bigger part in this shit show than I thought was a bit shocking, but after reading most of the book I I guess I should be expecting it. And that ending! It left me with so much contradicting feelings, I didn’t know wich side to choose. And now, I can’t wait to know wich one Amalie picked
Amazing story, I hated the ending though and now I want to read the second one to see what comes next. I loved the main character and how strong she was.
Amelie and the Knox boys are such a angsty fun mystery…throw in Baxter and mix it all up…and wow. Great characters and the story is a wonderful mix of angst, sex and friendship. Then add some secrets and a little bit of a cliffhanger…. Which I am sure will just be continued in the 2nd book. It was a wonderful ride. Can’t wait for the next book. I highly recommend this one.
Amelie is a strong young lady who is thrown into the unexpected, she thinks she can get the upper hand and handle her new life but what all is not as it seems. There is mystery and intrigue along with sexy times with 4 hot as hell brothers unfortunately these boys have ulterior motives that they aren’t even sure of. Will Amelie return to the life she knows, the safe path or will she return to the four boys who have started to take up residence in her heart? I loved this book and am anxious for the next installment so that my questions can be answered.
Holy hell this book is amazing. Completely addictive. I couldn’t put it down. The twisted story, the depth of the characters, the hate, the angst, the love, all the feels on the rollercoaster journey. The queen of cliffhangers doesnt disappoint, and will leave you craving more.
Trigger warning for mentions of Rape, Sexual Abuse, and physical violence,…
PSA: please don’t leave bad reviews because of mentions of using condoms and other safe sex practices.
This is an epic book with so many twists and turns and holy smoke I didnt see that ending coming! Then men …just wow…I dont know how Amelie handles all of the twists! My favorite is Onyx and Slate …i must be very twisted to like them but I do! Where’s the next book!
Wow this book is twisted and dark in levels of depravity. From the word go, the characters are all dark not a shining star among them. The whole book is full of triggers from gang rape to child abuse to murder and extortion. I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. I guess that makes it a win for the authors since I’m sure that was their intention.
Omg loved this book, totally page turned couldn’t put it down, this girl has attitude, but I need to know what happens next,
F*ck You is an academy romance between Amelia and the Knox brothers. Dragged away from everything she has known, the courts are giving her one more chance to straighten up her life.
This academy read is not your normal school story. This place is for 18-22 year olds, so not about high school kids. All of the characters hold secrets. They are a bit of a mystery until you start getting in the knitty gritty of it all. This book is on the darker side, but not too dark. I will say I loved this story because you are always trying to figure out what’s their game and who is playing who. It keeps you reading until you find out some answers. This story is full of hot chemistry between Amelia and the boys. They each have a certain connection with her, so it’s not just the same thing over and over. Now this book contains somewhat of bullying but not much, that maybe the only trigger for some. So if you are looking for something different, a hot romance with some mystery to it, I suggest download it today.
This was brilliant! I was so lost in the story and kept turning the pages every chance I could get. I needed to know what the game plan was. I have a soft spot for Sawyer. I love Amelie’s fire and cannot wait to read more.
This was so good!! I love stories with complex characters. Where you can hate and love them. I wanted to strangle every single character but also make sure nothing bad every happened to them.
Amelie, our main MC, is iconic. She’s a sexual assault survivor and an absolute bada**. I also really liked her men. They each have their own distinct personalities and I can’t wait to learn more about them.
And thankfully, no huge cliffhanger! But I can’t wait until the next part.
I’ve never read these authors before, but the blurb pulled me in and I couldn’t wait to read this one. Being from the US, I always love reading books based in other countries. It’s fun learning little differences!
“What was that for?” I ask, eyes wide. “Ninety percent jealousy, ten percent to shut you up.” He grins. “Well I wouldn’t want you to feel left out,” I tease. – F*ck You, Crystal North and Jaye Cox
Amelie being punished so severely for a prank gone wrong seems so weird, but the secrets keep spilling in this book. There is no shortage and just when you think you have a handle on it, BOOM, another plot twist.
The Knox boys are so hot and cold, you’ll truly love and hate them simultaneously. I won’t tell you where I landed when the book ended, because I don’t want to spoil it.
I enjoyed this and after that ending, I can’t wait for book 2!
