The Knight by Lucy Auburn is the second book in the Coleridge Academy Elite series. In this book, a girl named Brenna who is searching for the reason why her brother died while attending Coleridge Academy ends up almost dead herself when she is kidnapped and left tied up in the back of a car. This book starts off with a bang and is a non stop ride full of a murder mystery that Brenna is determined to solve. It involves a young woman determined to find justice and a group of young men who are the academy’s elite and have a vested interest in protecting their status. This book involves complex topics that many young people face and is quite realistic in its representation of difficult topics. As long as you can handle this type of realistic storyline you will enjoy this book as much as I did. I think this book is a wonderful read that examines the perceived differences between the class ideals of rich verses not. It is definitely one read that makes you examine how you feel about those around you. The Knight is one young woman’s attempt to make sense of her twin brother’s murder.
This very well-crafted second book contains suspense, romance, and mature themes with characters that have great chemistry. These books are a slow burn story and part of a series, so far so good in building the story. Reader discretion advised. This is a reverse harem high school bully romance with a revenge plot. Good series so far

Had I read book 1, I might have realized this series is set in modern times and not medieval, like the story seems to suggest. Not only is the book current, it involves an issue that has hit recent headlines…school bullying. Bravo, Lucy Auburn!

Brenna was overwhelmed, confused and doubtful. The truth turned out to be very dangerous and almost deadly with a new twist that would require her to think carefully about what she wanted and what she was going to do. Also, what was behind Lukas, Blake, Cole and Tanner’s behavior? What had changed? Things were getting ugly, scary and very complicated. Time to be wary because the big guns were at stage. The cliffhanger surprised me. What I least expected. Suspense, intrigue, emotions, violence, passion and much danger. Love these stories with complicated and exciting plot developments that keep me intrigued and devouring the pages of my ereader because I want to know. Can’t wait for the next.
So I FINALLY get book 2 in this series and it DOESN’T disappoint. It was amazing! So obviously book one ended with Brenna getting kidnapped. Now we are about to hear what happens. Well, I knew that she would be rescued but not by who you think! Totally did not see that. So now we now some of the truth of what happened to her brother and she realizes that her targets may have been innocent or not? She is still at school but now she is having to be her since she was outed by Georgia in the last book. So she is trying to find herself in the world of the rich. Unfortunately, the guys are not making it easy for her. Shoot they confuse me more than the evil girls. As she is trying to expose a bad guy, she ends up in trouble so who bails her out this time. Well, I was freaking shocked when I found out and now I need the next book like stat!! THIS. SERIES. IS. AMAZING!!

I thought book 1 was outstanding but book 2 bypasses even that. I cant praise up this series enough. its so fast paced that if you blink youll miss something important. The plot twists and turns so much that i thought id get whiplash from it but my god it was so worth it. After Brenna gets kidnapped and nearly strangled at the end of book 1 she has to return to Coleridge Academy to find out why? Getting help from unexpected people – The Elites Cole, Tanner, Lukas and Blake. Even if it means one of their rules for it is that she leaves Coleridge Academy completely afterwards. Secrets, Lies, Trust and lack of it are all in this book and it keeps you on your toes. Just a blindingly great book
I received this ARC from BookSprout for Honest Review.
I Give this book a 4/5 Star Rating.
No Spoilers.
Cliffhanger(?): Absolutely!
I Honestly have no bloody clue on what’s going on and I’m just Living For It!
Romance: 2/5, Not Much But I Don’t Care, It’s So Good So Far!!
Heat: 2.5/5, (this rating isn’t base on quality of the scenes, just the amount. There isn’t much but it fits the story for me)
*This is a Slow Burner, and it’s definitely slow but I think it’s great!
Drama: 4/5
Suspense: 5/5
*One thing I’d like to note is that I sincerely hope that this is not a 3 book series, I don’t want it to be crammed if Book 3 happens to be the final.
I actually like the pacing very vey much cause it fits the storyline very well. That I honestly do hope it spans a few more books.
I Like How it’s Not Rushed and the Build of the Relationships so far is strain, but you can very clearly see the growth.
I Am So Looking Forward to Reading Book 3!
