Spine Ridge University #3
Vile Boys
They think they’re gods, but I will bring them to their knees.
All I’ve ever known is how to be a good girl.
My father called me his little jewel. I was the promise of a better life for us all.
So I studied hard and treated everyone kindly, just like he’d taught me.
Until I witnessed three vile boys kill.
Ares, Caleb, and Blaine from the Tartarus House at Spine Ridge University. Devilish, hedonistic, ruthless guys determined to break me. They’re self-proclaimed gods of their own purgatory, and they won’t rest until I’ve been silenced.
Their wicked games drive me insane. What they crave is my submission on a silver platter.
And when they threaten my mother’s life, I finally agree to let them own me.
Their filth is overpowering, and my body is corrupted in every way possible.
Debauchery is what they’re good at, burning every inch of my soul until there’s nothing left but hatred for how good they make it feel … hatred for how badly they make me yearn them.
But I will use this hatred against them…
Turn it into a weapon of vengeance…
Make even Gods kneel.

MY REVIEW AND OTHERS can also be found on my blog: ╰┈➤KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS
❀ 𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐘𝐒 ❀Is the third full length romance book within the (Spine Ridge University) series by Clarissa Wild. All POV's. Crystal, and her 3 vile boys (Ares, Blaine, and Caleb)
To say that I was excited for this was an understatement, as soon as it landed on my kindle, that was it. Time out from life and this was inhaled. This series of hot guys and the girl they choose just gets hotter and hotter as the series moves along, and this book was no exception it was hotter than the Sahara Desert.
Here you have goody two shoes Crystal, who wants to just get through college unscathed, partying with friends and live life. Until she witnessed a double murder, she saw something not for her eyes and these boys are worried she'll say something to the wrong person and they'll be in a world of sh#t. So she's a complication Ares, Blaine, and Caleb could definitely do without.
They need to silence her.
And Crystal's mother maybe their option to bring her under their thumb. After her father was murdered in cold blood her mother is all she has left in the world. So she will protect her as much as she can, even if she sacrifices herself to save her.
But no one threatens her mother and gets away with it.
Now they own her body and soul, when they beckon she must comply. She becomes Ares obsession, but it doesn't take long for the other two to also fall.
They have unleashed a monster, and she's not going to go down without a fight. Are the boys running the show or is she?
* Teaser used is the authors *

"We'll be here, watching you, always listening, always waiting. Waiting until you slip up. Waiting until you part those pretty lips and spill our filthy secrets. Waiting… so we can swallow you whole."
Crystal wasn't supposed to see them.
She just happened to be there and witness their act.
Ares, Blaine, and Caleb.
Those devilish, ruthless, cut-throat boys.
The blood. The weapon. The bodies.
Now she is theirs.
She has no choice. They want to silence her.
They threatened her mother… The only family she has left.
They let their dark fantasies come to life… Are they hers too?
But they made her hate them.
And they have no idea what they unleashed.
"I can’t think, can't even breathe as these boys, these killers, drive me to the edge of insanity."
I received an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.
"Such an innocent name for such an innocent girl… It's a pity I'll have to destroy her."
Crystal saw them. She saw them kill. That will not go unpunished. And now that they threatened her mother… Ares, Blaine and Caleb have no idea what they just unlocked.
"All I can think about is how I'm going to crush that smile… and destroy that girl."
Ok if you know this series you know that this is dark romance smut at it's finest and I am not complaining one bit because I was inhaled into this book and could not put it down!! I loved Sick Boys and Evil Boys but Vile Boys is a whole other beast that was just *chef's kiss* so good!!
"Oh no, I want you on your knees, begging for a break from the terror I will instill in your heart at the thought of being owned by me."
"Pretty boys who hide unfathomable demons, waiting to strike. And I've become their next target."
You have Crystal Murphy. Her dad was murdered and now she only has her mom. She is trying to get through schpol. Have a normal college life. That is until she witnesses the Tartarus boys kill someone. And now she is in their debt. Crystal was amazing!! Legit loved her! After "Evil Boys" and that whole thing with Lana I honestly did not know how I was going to feel about her but OMFG make way for this badass bitch no joke. Every FMC in this series has "Walk them like a dog sis walk them like a dog energy" and I am here for it every single fucking time!
"But I need them to know… I won't go down without a fight."
I am going to write about Ares, Blaine, and Caleb all in one paragraph because I don't want to spoil too much. Trust me when I say you have to experience these boys to understand because each of them offers something different to the reader and I ate them all up!! Ares with his dominating nature and his mysterious background, Caleb with the hate first ask questions later mentality and Blaine our romantic (legit reads romance books people I mean come the fuck on). The boys (as with each book in this series) will not apologize for their actions so do not expect that. But do expect ruthless killers with killer mouths and trust me you will not be disappointed one bit 😘😘
"How does it feel to be brought to the brink of destruction by a god? Does it make you want to plead and beg for mercy?"

Run to this book don't walk !!! I've read this book twice already!!!
They think they’re gods, but I will bring them to their knees.
Holly hell!!! Yes, this book was epic just like last the last 2 !!
It has a different feel, but that's what makes it so brilliant. I've laughed, cried, and got so hot under the collar its unreal the hot steamy scenes are outta this world 🤤
Ares, Caleb, and Blaine will live rent free in my head forever ♥️ the way the characters are brought to life just is mesmerising, and nobody writes a reverse harem like this lady an endless list of delicious trigger warnings ⚠️ I've devoured this book in 2 evenings couldn't actually put it down the 4am by the time i could !!!
I'm not giving any plot away, but wait for the twists and that delicious party the boys hold around 50% in With an emotional twits before the end for anyone whos lost a parents u will understand the pain in the screasm of one of the boys, but this dose has a happy ending.
Do not miss the extended part to this book it looks like this will not be the last. i was dancing around to this news. These books have such a hold on me a3c All 3 do so don't not miss sick boys and evil boys!!!
Hands down, this is going to be my favourite book of 2024.
i can't see anything topping it !!

What in the wattpad…
February 15, 2024
Ok so I absolutely LOVED Sick Boys but this was just terrible. I DNF at 26%. The conversations were just so cheesy and the interactions were all over the place. Honestly, the book woulda been 1000% better if none of the characters spoke and just boned cuz the spicy scenes were great but every time Ares and Chrystal had a conversation, it was sooooo cringey. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

What drew me in to this book was the dedication… and then the prologue. It seemed like it was the kind of book I would be into. I was very excited… but when I started reading it was a bit of a letdown. The first few chapters didn’t really have any plot at all. I honestly didn’t know what was happening. Also, the number of characters that were introduced that didn’t add to the plot was confusing. I only made it 18 pages before I wanted to close the book, but I stuck it out hoping it would get better. It didn’t.
I think the one thing that kept throwing me off was the switching of the POV in the middle of the chapters. In one chapter we saw four different POVs. The back and forth of this made me confused as we never really dug into what the characters were thinking in depth. As soon as the characters were beginning to become interesting, the POV would switch to another character leaving you with reading whiplash.
Here are some of the notes I took while I was reading:
• The smut almost makes up for the POV whiplash.
• Why do author’s call it the nub? WHY!?
• Where did the plot point with Caleb’s dad and Crystal’s mom come from?
• Who is Kai… and what is up with Ares’ dad’s business?
• Yoooo the scene where Blaine is tied up. GO ON CRYSTAL. DO THE DANG THING.
• So wait… Ares knew Crystal wanted to kill him and was okay with it, but he made her fall in love? I’m confused.
• Crystal leaked pictures. Then was kidnapped? What. Is. HAPPENING. And wait. She was only gone like three pages. So like three hours? Maybe? At this point I’m reading this book just to get to the end. I’m this far into it and I don’t like not finishing books… but this one. What. Seriously…. what is plot.
• One minute the group was happy the next Caleb’s mom died and things were back to crap? I just have a lot of questions at this point.
At this point in the book, I gave up. I just scrolled the last few pages and tried to pick up on anything important. Ultimately there was not anything in the last 20 pages that made me change my mind about this book. I finished it, but it is not something I would recommend to anyone.

"They think they're gods, but I will bring them to their knees."
Oh my.. 🤭 Clarissa did it again! This book is filled to the brim with spice, starting in chapter 1!
I actually do enjoy the storyline in this series as well, but the SPICE!!! My god, it's definitely spicing!
Some things you'll enjoy in this book:
🖤Dark, bully romance
🖤College romance
🖤Enemies to lovers
🖤Why choose/Polyamorous romance
🖤K!nk content
🖤Hate séx. Yum.
🖤Ummm...🍆 🍆 🍆 🤯IYKYK
🖤Jewellery ..down under
I will spare you the blurb, it's in a lot of the other reviews and on top of this page. I don't want to give you any spoilers either. But when I tell you this book is a great dark romance read, with a story line, filled with spice, depravity and a HEA that I actually enjoyed...I would still be under selling this book. It's an emotional rollercoaster and I loved it. I can't wait to get a physical copy to proudly put on my shelf.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
As always: Check the triggers before diving in 🫶🏻
PS: Blaine is my weakness. The sass, the banter, the books. He made me laugh so much. 😍
PPS: The extended epilogue had me cheering, don't miss it.

I actually do enjoy the storyline in this series as well, but the SPICE!!! My god, it's definitely spicing!
Some things you'll enjoy in this book:
🖤Dark, bully romance
🖤College romance
🖤Enemies to lovers
🖤Why choose/Polyamorous romance
🖤K!nk content
🖤Hate séx. Yum.
🖤Ummm...🍆 🍆 🍆 🤯IYKYK
🖤Jewellery ..down under
I will spare you the blurb, it's in a lot of the other reviews and on top of this page. I don't want to give you any spoilers either. But when I tell you this book is a great dark romance read, with a story line, filled with spice, depravity and a HEA that I actually enjoyed...I would still be under selling this book. It's an emotional rollercoaster and I loved it. I can't wait to get a physical copy to proudly put on my shelf.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
As always: Check the triggers before diving in 🫶🏻
PS: Blaine is my weakness. The sass, the banter, the books. He made me laugh so much. 😍

When I read the 'author's note' I did get a little scared... It literally said that I would start hating the men and gradually fall in love with them. Mrs Clarissa Wild was, of course, absolutely correct. At first I wanted to give the book 3 stars, purely because of the hatred for Ares and Caleb. Then I grew to 4 stars, until I was pushed back to 3.5 stars and now that I have finished it, this book was worth 5 stars. SO MANY emotions. Just so much happened and it all made sense, everything fell into place. I loved it.

How this book averages over 4 stars is beyond me… the writing is beyond terrible, smut scenes included.

Did I stop reading this book for six months? Yes, I did! Ares annoyed me so much that I just couldn’t keep going. He’s the main reason I had to put it down for so long.

I didn't enjoy this book until like 70/75% in because I already knew what it was going to happen to her from "evil boys" and was just waiting for it to happen to develop the story.
But this fmc was not done as well as Penelope, they both had a secret and ulterior motives but this one was a bit boring and exhausting, her inner monologues were just her lying to herself and saying the exact same thing over and over again... I was over it pretty quickly... But I manage to pull through because I was ready to DNF it at 30% but it's really hard for me to do that
The story in itself could have been beautiful with Ares being so devoted to Crystal, for me the story was just not well thought out.
Maybe if it started from the evil boys point on or if I didn't know what it was going to happen to her... Maybe... I would have enjoyed the book a bit more because it was a good story just not the way it was done.
....Anyway....
Loved all the MMC's ! They were all any book girly wants from a morally grey guy.
Evil boys will forever be the best one, though. Loved to see all the gangs together and the banter between them.
♥️ Lana, Kai, Nathan and Mylo are the best, evil boys ♥️
Maybe we can have a short story about that last scene that Lana promises Crystal 🥺🤞
I would love to read more about evil boys and their craziness (and one more scene of MMMF not MMFM, please 🥺) 🥰😊

Okay I have read some questionable books in my lifetime but this is quite arguably one of the worst things I’ve read. I hope that I will never again read the phrase “avalanche of cum”.

Okay, so this one was a mixed bag for me. Honestly, some of the smut definitely kept me entertained, and I’m not gonna lie, that’s what had me hanging on. But overall, Sick Boys is still holding the crown for me in this series. That book had me fully invested, while Vile Boys just didn’t hit the same way.
I tried, I really did. I even read along while listening to the audiobook because, well 😏🥴 sometimes you need that little extra spice to pull you in. But even then, I couldn’t connect with the story the way I hoped. The FMC just felt kinda flat to me, not bad, just bland. Like she was missing that spark that makes me root for or at least feel something for her.
Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but it just didn’t grab me like the others did. Some hot moments? Absolutely. A plot I’ll remember later? Probably not. I’m still gonna keep reading the series because I’m nosy, but this one just didn’t give what it needed to give

Don’t worry, Crystal, we’ll only steal your fucking soul. Nothing more, nothing less. And when we’re done with you, you won’t even want it back.
Pure unadulterated & depraved smut with a little bit of plot. If you’re looking for dark kinks, they’re all here in abundance. This book was highly entertaining.
In the beginning, we are warned that the MMCs are not sweet or kind and that we will hate them but come to love them as they fall for the FMC. Clarissa accomplished her goal. The boys are unhinged and twisted, utterly obsessed with the FMC. I didn’t find the actual bullying to be that bad (though there is strong coercion/blackmail). FMC was not the shrinking violet the boys expected her to be. In the end, it was apparent that they were all perfect for each other.
Vile Boys is ultra fast-burn and spicy! I’m talking about prologue smut, with a frequency that carries throughout. There is an established MM relationship within the harem with additional MM interactions with another member of the harem. This leads to multiple MF, MM, MFM, MMF, and MMMF scenes. Lots and lots of dark and dirty kinks. My only ick – HYGIENE! Ass to mouth (or V) without proper cleanup takes me out of the story completely.
This book may be read as a complete standalone, but I recommend reading the series in release order. A couple of times, the plot got bogged down in name-dropping from previous books in the series. It was difficult to keep the characters straight, so going in with prior knowledge of the characters may make for a better reading experience.
⚠️ Multiple Dark Element Warning – Check TW/CW if necessary ⚠️
Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance
Tropes/Features: University setting, dark elements, enemies to lovers, bully, coercion/blackmail, unhinged MMCs, good girl FMC, dark kinks, pierced peens, extra-large peen (make it fit), revenge
Narrator: Multiple 1st Person POV
Relationship Type: Why choose – MMMF, ultra fast burn, ultra spicy
Book Type/Ending: Interconnected standalone with HEA, recommend reading series in release order
TW/CW: Short list available in book’s Author’s Note, longer list on author’s website

I think this one is the best one yet. I love seeing all of the characters from the other books, and seeing all of the friendships🖤
I like the different types of relationships the guys have with crystal. Blaine is the softy, while ares is the dominate one, and Caleb is a mix of both. I can’t wait to see what else the author writes about. 🖤

She truly looks like a flower spreading its leaves under the pouring rain to catch all the droplets. And all we ever did was tear her petals off one by one.

“I pull away and look at him, wondering how I let it get this far. How I slipped down into this hellhole so effortlessly … how I let this vile boy destroy me so easily.”
Clarissa you gave me depravity and debauchery . You gave me lust and fear . You gave me desire and devotion . You gave me … WHAT TF NEEDED TO BE GAVE😩👏🏾 . First you gave me the Skull and Serpent Sick Boys , then you gave me the Phantom Society Evil Boys and now Tartarus Vile Boys .
This book took its toll on me that’s fersure . I love how you can get attached to every character for both their flaws and strengths . Blaine was my comfort character reading smut and being the next karate kid like Milo lol . Caleb was so complex and Ares the god was nothing less than his name ; A GOD .
Let’s just say the dedication said it all lol 😇😉

DNF. I couldn’t get past the way the characters spoke and storyline - it felt more like a YA story… with adult level smut.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS
Star Rating : 4 / 5 Stars
POV : Dual
Cliffhanger : None
Hero : Ares, Caleb, Blaine
Heroine : Crystal
Pace of the story : Moderate
Angst Rating : 5/10
Heat Rating : 5/10
Overall Opinion :
We have another amazing RH from this author! I seriously can’t get enough of these lo. This time it is Ares , Caleb and Blaine’s turn with Crystal.
Crystal seemed like a meek h from the start but I knew when the Boys push her too much , she will hit them where it hurts and I was happy to see her fight at the end and get back at them . The character growth was intense and so was the book as a whole. The storyline was good , the characters are nice and there are some good plot twists in this one too. I think Ares was the toughest nut to crack when it came to the boys but then Blaine and Caleb weren’t that innocent either lol.
The pace was good and I liked the way it all turned out. Just like all her other books , Clarissa did not hold back in this book of hers and it has some twisted scenes too with lots of triggers so make sure to go through her list before reading this one.
Definitely recommend this one to all the dark romance loving people out there.
