Spoiler review

Ok, let's begin with the end: what the hell. This is ridiculous. So Saint takes the fall for Izara, because he now suddenly worships the ground the walks on, what, because she's super powerful and it's worship worthy? Please.*cue eyeroll* No, it makes no sense, it comes out of nowhere and I don't buy it. So anyway, Saint says he did all the destroying and she's half assedly like 'no, please', doesn't even really try to intervene when the guards take him and doesn't speak up when the headmaster is asking who the culprit is. She LETS HIM take the blame. And when Phoenix arrives and she has to explain what happened to Saint she has the audacity to be pissed at the professor for 'siding with Saint', like bitch what did YOU do to stop it? Hypocrite. Then she's all depressed cause 'there's nothing either of us can do' ... bitch, what are you on?! You can, I don't know? TURN YOURSELF IN?? God, she pisses me off, what a coward.

There were a few things that bothered me other than my little rant just now:

Ok, I know this is kinda nitpicky but do these people never brush their teeth or shower? They're described getting out of bed, then they put their clothes on and they just... go to class. Like that. There's apparently also no such thing as breakfast there.
Speaking of food, Izara is two days in a row at lunch not eating and yet she's not hungry, at all. These kind of things may seem unimportant but little things can really take you out of the book.

Now I know this is not a problem for everyone but personally I hate when the love interests in a RH are jealous of each other, I don't like infighting ok. And these guys were jealous as hell except for Saint. It's not even trivial jeaoulsy, no they were genuinely hurt when they saw Izara close with one of the other guys. I am supposed to enjoy this, to like it when they have their feelings hurt? I don't get the appeal.
The worst part -and what made me start to really dislike the MC- is that Izara thrives on that shit. She stirs shit up on purpose. She either goes up to Malek or Syko to make Phoenix jealous, she enjoys it, the little shit. Or she simply goes from one guy to the other knowing they don't like to share but she doesn't give a damn. The thing is, it's a RH and it shouldn't be a problem but this reads like a regular romance with a cheating MC because there's no understanding between any of them, there's no arrangement.

And is it just me or was she a complete jerk to Phoenix? He decides to help her when he doesn't get anything out of it, it's for her, yet right away she tries to piss him off when he's done nothing to get shit on like that. I mean sure he's douchey but not that much and she's jerking him around. Like bitch he's helping you out, how about some gratitude? And by bitch I mean Bitch. she's an asshole and doesn't deserve any of the guys in my opinion.

I can't say the writing was bad though, it was actually pretty good overall but there were too many things I disliked to really say I enjoyed the read. But I'm sure many people would like it though, so give it a try.
