There are three names that have haunted me for ten years.

Silas, Damon, Jude.

I never wanted to come back to Greythorn, MA. And I never thought I’d see Silas Huxley, Damon Brooks, or Jude Vanderbilt again—especially not after what happened.

But here they are, in all of their grown, badass glory—brutal, tatted, muscular, and no longer the boys I knew at Ravenwood Academy—the boys I bullied relentlessly.

I made their life a living hell back then, so they plan on making my life a living hell now.

They’re out for blood—my blood. Their ruthless thirst for revenge turns my skin to ice, and I soon discover just how savage and hateful they are.

But despite popular opinion, my life was never full of butterflies and sunshine. I’ve endured a hell of a lot worse than what they plan to do to me.

They may think I’m back in Greythorn with my tail between my legs, all battered and bruised—but what they’ve forgotten is that I am the original Queen of Ravenwood Academy.

And I refuse to be dethroned.

Savage Hate is full-length enemies-to-lovers/bully reverse harem romance. It is a spinoff of the Ruthless Royals duet, which does not have to be read first. It is book one of the Savage Hearts series, and while it doesn’t end with a true cliffhanger, there will be unanswered questions. Book two will be releasing in March. It is advised to read them in order. *Please note Savage Hate contains explicit language, bullying, needles, and violence. There are flashbacks of abuse/grooming/trauma. The series will have a HEA.

** spoiler alert **
           I loved this book!! This is unlike anything I've read before in that our heroine actually starts out as the bully. Lennon went to high school with the three MMCs, Damon, Jude, and Silas. She treats them absolutely horribly (we see various scenes in flashback). But things aren't quite that black and white, as Lennon is severely neglected by her parents during high school. She suffers a traumatic event, which the three guys she mercilessly bullies save her from. 

Fast forward to the present time, Lennon sees the life as she knew it collapse. Her fiance cheats on her and she leaves him, forcing her to move back to her hometown and live in a cheap apartment her mother owns. As a twist of fate, she happens to live above the tattoo shop that Silas, Jude and Damon own. She gets sucked into working for them. They exact a bit of retribution on her for her previous crimes. But at the same time they get to know what her life has actually been like behind the curtain. She also gets to know some of the demons in their past, some of which are still haunting them. 

This is definitely a slow burn, as we don't get to full on spice until towards the end of the book, but there are some fun little interactions along the way that build that tension! I can't wait for the next book!
