If I could give this book more stars I would. It was such a simple and easy read that had me captivated from the very beginning

This is the first book in Lily's 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 and it was an amazing way to start. This was a last minute ARC I signed up for and I'm glad I didn't miss it. From the first page, I was hooked. I was biting my nails just from the Prologue.

If you're looking for a fast paced romance, this isn't it. This is a slow burn book. The 🌶🌶 doesn't take place until toward the end of book, but it's so worth the wait.

I loved that the author didn't just use 1 or 2 POVs. We get to see the viewpoint from different sides. I really enjoyed the characters in this one. We start with Talia, who is still reeling from her brothers death, who starts her senior year at Arbour Academy. She quickly forms a friendship with her British roommate, who pining over her male best friend.

Then there's the Elites -
✔️ Noah - the Queen Bee. My heart went out to her over past situations.
✔️ Nico - who can't seem to stay away from Talia, even if he won't admit it.
✔️ Trey - Mr. Temper and fellow Brit.
✔️ Issac - I can't figure him out yet.
✔️ Dallas - another one who can't stay away from Talia, but is nicer about it.

All these characters and elements make up a wonderful, suspenseful story. That cliffhanger just wasn't nice though. I'm soo excited to see what Lily comes up next.
