He once swore he’d marry me—but now he’s desperate for my ruin.
Caleb Asher has everything he could ever want. He’s rich, hotter than sin, captain of the hockey team and king of the school.
My return to Emery-Rose Elite derails him.
I am the walking reminder of everything that went wrong in his childhood and mine.
While I long to be invisible, to slip through school unnoticed, he forced the opposite.
He wants my fear, my fight, my pain, all out in the open.
The more I resist, the worse his obsession becomes. He won’t stop until even my dreams are filled with him.
But even royalty have their weaknesses, and Caleb? He’s just been reintroduced to his.
Me.
Author note: this book was previously published, and has since undergone major edits and changes while remaining true to the original story.
How can he destroy me and make me feel better at the same time? We’re fucked up.
Having had read the original version, I was so excited to see S Massery announce that she will be releasing a revamped version of this story. And oh boy, it hit just as well the second time around, if not better.
Now if you don’t like bully romance, this is not for you, my friend. But if you’re a self professed bully romance addict, you will gobble this one right up. And while I prefer college bully romance, if S Massery writes it, I’ll read it. So a high school bully romance it was.
Also, fair warning, if you don’t like deranged MMCs who hate the heroine as much as he wants her and you especially don’t like teenage drama, this is definitely not for you. But me? Finger licking good. But I digress.
This was a wild ride of a story. We have Margo, who finds herself back in the town she grew up in after a new foster family takes her in. But to say that she’s excited about being back is certainly a stretch. The town comes with memories of everything she lost; her family and her reputation being a few. And the boy who was once her best friend wants to make her pay for something that she doesn’t understand or remember.
She really is like a lost lamb, standing waiting for a predator to devour her. Me. I’m her biggest predator.
Caleb is the king of the campus. He and his best friends rule the school. And I love that Massery switched him from Lacrosse to hockey star in this version. Caleb is determined to make Margo pay for everything she cost him. We just have no idea what it is, and seems like Margo doesn’t either. But Margo doesn’t take any of it sitting down, even when no one but her new friend Riley seem to be on her side. I loved her backbone and tenacity.
The story is crazy and I loved every deranged page of it. The more the layers get peeled back, the more questions I had. And thet cliffhanger? Thank goodness the wait for the next book isn’t long because I need it!
