Small town, small-minded people, small expectations, and big A-holes.Lilith Deville is the new enigma at Lakeside Preparatory Academy, a prestigious high school by a river and not a lake, which makes sense, not. Already she hates it despite its beautiful landscape.Between riding her dirt bike through the sacred lands of the natives, plotting against those she meets, and holding greasy truckers at … truckers at gunpoint, Lilith makes no time for love or friendship. Forever the walking mystery (read misery) of her new home and school.
That is until Nokosi Locklear catches her eye with his arrogance and a hard, toned body that she’s certain she doesn’t want to climb.
Shoved up against a locker by him in her first week, she sets him in her wicked sights.
Life is only fun when you have somebody else’s pain to focus on. So long as you stay detached. Something Lilith will find is impossible to do when it comes to Nokosi. A guy with looks but no charm. Strength but no power. Love but no morals.
With a serial killer roaming the country taking victims one by one, a past in Nokosi’s eyes that he tries to hide, and a mother that would rather work than keep her daughters happy, Lilith finds plenty of time to spare and plenty of things to keep herself occupied.

“I don’t complain about what I can’t change.” “That’s smart, peaceful even. Learning to just accept the inevitable instead of trying to fight it.”
This story is so enigmatic! Kept me reading until the very end.
Ending felt a little flat to me, though. Not because for the lack of the wow factor – it was there, I just already saw it comming.
This immediately became one of my favorite books. It had me messed up for days because I couldn’t believe what I just read! This is a must read!
Wow!!!
I have no words that can do this book the justice it deserves I’m completely blown away!!
You are hooked from the start of what you first think is a normal run of the mill bully book but oh wow is this more so so much more ,you are taken on a journey of love, lust murder and mayhem with a whole lot of crazy thrown in!!
One of the best books I’ve read this year, this book needs to be on everyone’s tbr or read list absolutely brilliant.
WHAT THE HELL!
He’s a magnet and I’m his opposite, we’re always going to be drawn together.
Both sisters have gone through a terrible tragedy.
Moving to a new city, Lilith also has to go to a new school,
which of course she doesn’t want to do.
Willow won’t go to school because she’s seriously ill
Lilith doesn’t like meeting new people, all the more to interact with them.
When she meets a hot guy in school her life is turned upside down.
But the purpose is not just for Lilith to meet the beautiful boy, but for something else
Lilith Aka Lil is probably my favorite female character now,
she is hilarious, dangerous, stubborn, brave, fearless
Nok is Hot, rude, arrogant male, but he can also be sweet and loyal
Other characters:
Willow Lilith twin sister
Nash Nokosi older brother
Joseph Nokosi best friend
Mackenzie Lilith friend while she hates her, but also wants to keep her close
These two characters Lilith and Nok
How to describe a book with so much pain, drama, mystery, lies, secrets,
jealousy, angst, made me laugh also made me sick and angry was complicated,
unexpected, and steamy hot scenes ONE WORD AMAZING !!!
Story told Lilith and Willow point of view and someone else
And that’s the end of the book such a turn OMG
I’m still speechless and processing what the hell I just read!
Thank you!
It’s been a couple of weeks since I read this book, and it’s still on my mind. Lilith and Nock, two people who start out despising each other, then gradually they can’t deny their feelings. Then add in Willow, holy crazy train! This book just keeps getting better. Toward the end I was thrown for a loop, that I never saw coming! I still wish I could wipe this book from my memory, so I could read it again for the first time.
