Pretty Little Savage

Lucy Smoke — 2020

Rule No. 1: Don't piss off the Sick BoysThey're cruel. Reckless. Impossibly fucked up. The Sick Boys feed on the order they create. They rule Eastpoint University just as their families have for decades. But their power doesn't stop there. The three of them are heirs to some of the largest fortunes in the world, and behind that kind of wealth lies an underworld of corruption. On the surface, they're perfect princes and he is their King. But underneath it all, they're filled with blood, lies, and secrets. With all of their connections, they have the power to crush anyone who gets in their way. But just because they're as warped as I am doesn't mean I'm going to give them a free pass. Because I, Avalon Manning, bow to no one, and I live to break the fucking rules. ***This is a Dark MF New Adult Romance.******Please Note: This book is labeled as "Dark" for a reason.

So far I loved the first book in this series! The female main character is full of rage and is never afraid to turn on someone the second they piss her off, and the angst omg 😳 Can’t wait to start the next book and see where this story is going to go!!

4/5 Loved It Pretty Little Savage (Sick Boys #1) by Lucy Smoke. Dark New Adult, College, Enemies To Lovers Romance. Great opening and could not put it down. Dean and the other two Sick Boys, Abel and Brax has their hands full with Avalon. Especially Dean who no one tells him no, until Avalon came along. Loved the slow burn, push and pull and the angst level was high. Their banter was fun and she had some great comebacks. Avalon craves chaos, trust no one and can get a bit crazy. She can definitely hold her own. I need answers about The Sick Boys fathers.

"𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒅 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍, 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓," 𝑰 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆. "𝑰'𝒎 𝒂 𝒈𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒏 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒏." Oh my god! The timing of the cliffhanger was so not expected! We just got to know what happened & then boom "Thank you so much for reading." Ughhh!! This book is captivating! There's rawness, evilness, fierceness, strength, a badass female lead, dark & wickedly sexy males and a captivating storyline. The constant state of charged sexual tension and the push & pull, all makes the book hard to be kept down. There's dual pov in this enemies-to-lovers trope book. Avalon is the bad, wild, untameable bitch. She's strong, snarky and savage. She's been through rough patches which has made her what she is now and she can absolutely survive the rest of the way herself. Don't mess with her and you'll be safe. The Sick Boys are sinful and are the Kings & Devils of Eastpoint University. Nobody goes happily after disrespecting or crossing them. Avalon isn't someone of interest, but there's something which makes her intriguing & it's not her personality or/and appearance. There's a mystery about her that's yet to be known to everyone, even her. Avalon & Dean aren't meant to be together, but maybe their darkness, need for control and same personality brings them towards each other or maybe it's the lust fogging their minds. There are gonna be steep twists and turns and we better start controlling our steering wheel for Book 2. •••••••••••••••••••••••• I've recieved an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
