Academy of Rejects #2
Depraved Desires
They thought they killed me, but how pathetically wrong they were. Now I'm back, and I want blood.
Foster. The misogynistic, arrogant little boy who needs to be in control just to feel powerful. The boy who landed the finishing blow and sent me spiraling beneath the water.
Collin. The boy afraid of his own shadow. His proud persona is nothing but a mask, always on the brink of slipping and revealing the true monster underneath. He's a blind follower--a coward, who still hasn't found his own voice, and I'm going to enjoy breaking him.
Hunter. The one who can't take accountability for anything he does. It's always someone else's fault, and he can do no wrong. Hunter was the one who broke me in the end. He degraded me, made me feel weak, hurt me. But that girl is long gone, and now...I'm ready to play.
Myles. The one who started this all. A born psychopath wrapped in a god's body. Myles takes what he wants and never feels remorse. Lucky for me, it's not remorse I'm after.
They're going to bleed like I bled. They're going to hurt like I hurt. They're going to beg like I begged. And when I'm done, I might just let them live.

Another crazy Cliffhanger! You see different layers to some of the men and 3 of the men finally admit their feelings for her and book didn’t turn out the way I expected. Lots of revelations in this book that the previous book didn’t explain but also many more questions. I read the preview to the next book but and really hope she is saved but I feel like even more will be revealed and two other key players may be added. I’m not sure where she was going with the other two men and whether they will stay. I can’t wait for the next book! Both books I’ve read in less than a day, so hard to put down! Hope next one comes out soon!

Pretty good. Really liked the character dynamics and untraditional romance. There were multiple love interests, toxic relationships, emotional cheating, hate sex. More plot-driven with intrigue than steamy. The writing is still rather wordy, but overall entertaining read.

Twisted. Depraved. Addicted… And I Need Book 3 NOW
*Okay book besties…Book 2, The Academy of Rejects, "Depraved Desires" came in swinging, and I was NOT ready. Aspen may’ve started this journey looking for revenge, but whew—these boys flipped the script, and now they’re the ones unraveling her. Myles, Foster, Collin, Hunter… and yes, we’ve got two new obsessions: Rocky and Monroe. All of them? Still unhinged. Still toxic. Still feeding off her pain like it’s foreplay.
This book got darker, dirtier, and more depraved (fitting, right?). There's no safe word here—just endless manipulation, twisted love, and degradation that hits just right if you're into the deep end of dark romance. The emotional chaos is chef’s kiss, and that ending? Brutal. Soul-snatching. And of course, another cliffhanger that made me scream into the void.
Annika Nofal is a menace and I need Book 3 like yesterday.
⚠️ TW are not optional—they’re a survival guide.
This series? Unmissable. Unforgivable. Unforgettable. 🔥🖤
My Ratings:

This is hands down one of the best series I've ever read!! Annika knows how to take depraved to the next level! Also the way she writes spice is EVERYTHING I could ever want!!

I’ve been in a bit of a hole at the minute but this was exactly what I needed to get out of it! I couldn’t put this down.
To say this is a romance would be a bold faced lie! It is filled with lust, dark obsessions, spice and more spice!
I really enjoyed the different POV in this, of which there are quite a few. There is also some great twists and turns. There’s some excellent character development throughout and it is wonderfully written.
You don’t specifically need to have read the first book in order to read this but it is helpful. It’s brilliantly set up for the next one and I can’t wait to see what’s in store!!

Worst harem ever
Dumbest, doormat of a fmc.
Like as much as I can say the author writes well- she really does. But her characters suck a$$. So bad.
None of the MMC's are likeable NONE of them are even decent to other people - esp women.
But the FMC is by far the dumbest, stupidest doormat ever written..
Her first inner monologue after finally confronting one of her mmcs that actively graped her twice, burned her with lit cigarettes, murdered her best friend & then drowned her- her in we first thoughts when he asked her why she came back was because she fell in love with him..
Are you kidding me at this point.?
Of course they got the dumb bimbo back after seeing her at the club where she hooks & strips.
They immediately degrade & humiliate her & force her to come home with them for more victimization.
When I say that there is nothing lovable about these guys I mean it.
It's been either insults on how much they hate the FMC, how disgusting she is, sl*t etc or they are SAING HER but NOW she likes everything. So it's all good!
Myles is cruel, evil & a psychopath but that's ok cause she doesn't need a lovey dovey boyfriend!
Btw she sleeps with every guy in this book including 2 more not in her harem. The men sleep with anything & they are horrifically abusive & degrading to all females.
The only decent ones are Rockie & Mr Monroe (but Rockie still sleeps around & me Monroe is married).
I swear this author hates females or has a horrible opinion of them with me .

Okay now that my brain isn't melting anymore. Here are my thoughts. Wow! I didn't think these books could get any darker or twisted but boy was I wrong! Aspen keeps adding men and I'm here for it. Can't have too much hotness! This book brought out the "good" sides of my boys Myles and Foster. I ❤️ them so hard. That chase scene was PERFECTION. I can't wait for the next book!!! 😁
Potential Spoilers as this is book 2 of Academy of Rejects. Read on at your own risk
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Aspen- They thought the k!lled me. Guess what boys, I'm back!
Myles- I miss my little dove. No one compares and satisfies my needs like she did
Foster- Good riddance. She was just a slut anyways... Now maybe we can get back to normal
Hunter- I feel bad, but it had to be done. I'm worried about Collin though
Collin- The guilt is eating me up inside. She haunts me and I can barely eat anything. I wish I could have said something. Too late for regrets...
Rocky- There is something about Aspen that just gets under my skin
Mr. Monroe/Aiden- I already crossed that line once, but it can never happen again...
When Aspen shows up very much alive, the boys can't believe it. Since Aspen hasn't gone to the police, they decide to keep her that way. Will Aspen get the revenge she craves? How will the boys feel now that she is back from the dead?
You will have to read it to find out. Watch out for that cliffy!

“Depraved Desires” by Annika Nofal
Series: Academy of Rejects Book 2
Genre: Dark Romance
POV: Multi
Rating: 4.5 ⭐️
Spice: 4🌶️
Darkness:5🩶
Cast of Characters:
🖤Aspen, A Kicka$$ Snarky FMC
🖤4 degenerate MMCs including:
Collin, the manipulator
Hunter, the f@ckboy
Foster, the cold virgin with PTSD
Myles, a sociopath that likes carving up girls
🖤Rocky, the friend with benefits
🖤Aiden Monroe, a hot young teacher with benefits
Star, a sassy stripper friend
Thoughts:
Aspen gives no more fu@ks after being t@rtured, non conned and left for de@d by her four fellow classmates. She takes back her sexuality and builds a plan for revenge. I loved how she moves forward with her life on her own terms, not caring what others think. As she comes to terms with some of the unconventional things she likes, she becomes more embroiled with the boys. Will she get revenge?
Like book 1 this book is DARK! I cried in parts and other parts I was ready to scream at her for steering her train off the tracks.. The 4 malcontents can’t wait to get their hands on Aspen again once they know she’s alive!

Depraved Desires ( Academy Of Rejects Book 2 ) Just when I thought there was no way this series could possibly get any better I’m once again completely blown away in all the best ways .There are truly no words just no perfect words to describe the wild ride Annika just took me on once again , all the feelings that Depraved Desires has managed to stir in me !!! The best way i can explain it is to say !!! You know that feeling you get when your standing in line at the amusement park while waiting to get on the craziest ride - the feel it of being nervous and excited all at once , the. Anticipation of what’s to come next . Well that’s exactly how I felt from the first page until the very last . Depraved Desires has it all , intrigue and suspense, twists and turns, revenge , secrets , revelations, power , cat & mouse games , love , passion , pain , a kick@ss heroine , morally grey alphas who are obsessive , protective and controlling at times . Oh how I’m falling more and more in love and utterly invested and captivated by Aspen , Myles ,Foster, Colin , Monroe and Rocky - all so different and such complex characters . Depraved Hearts is a must read just as the first book was and is .

OMG, I freaking loved this! It was just as good as the first book 😈 picking up where it left off, it dives straight into it the story luring me in once again.
I loved all of the guys so much more in this one! All unhinged, morally black, sadistic, walking red flags but so irresistibly hot! Myles and Foster definitely my faves out of all four.
I really like Aspen too, her give no fks, revenge attitude was entertaining and interesting.
The dynamic between Aspen and the guys was angsty, spicy and captivating.
I didn't want to put the book down. It ended on a cliffhanger, and I was dying to know what happened. I wanted to read the rest of it so badly!
I love the plot it was intense, and I can't wait to read the next book. HIGHLY RECCOMEND 💯

WOW 🤯 🤩
What a freaking story line that book 2 was‼️ Of course we get another hard cliffhanger as well!! You see different layers to some of the men and 3 of the men finally admit their feelings for her and book didn't turn out the way I expected. This is dark and depraved and emotional confusion with these men and spicy and the plot twists!!
Lots of revelations in this book that the previous book didn't explain but also many more questions.
Depraved Desires is a bold, brutal, and captivating read for fans of dark romance with a revenge twist. It's gritty, gripping, and impossible to put down.

Reminder⛔️⚠️ do not enter this story if you have trigger issues because this story is in for the ride of its life. I almost feel like it’s darker and more twisted than one.⚠️⛔️
As we pick up right where we left off from book one Aspen is on fire, her strength and perseverance amaze me. However, Foster and Myles are at for her and Foster is giving Myles a ride for his life. This spicy story will keep you on the edge of your seat or further to where you almost hit the floor. This is fabulously fantastic with all the feelings.
Aspen is not only stronger in this book because of Hunter breaking her down so bad. But she is better than ever and has brought along a few new friends. And I won’t tell you their story, but you learn about the two new guys as soon as you buy this book.

I loved the first book, and I loved this one, too.
My girl, Aspen, the FMC, became a vengeful badass and the journey was amazing to watch. The bad boys, the MMCs, are wild, ruthless, and take what they want.
Foster (love this man) is calculating, cruel, and straight icy towards Aspen.
Collin is spineless when it comes to the other guys, and needs to learn to speak up.
Myles spews hatred and hellbent on making Aspen pay, he's the ringleader in this band of misfits.
Hunter isn't as cold as Myles and Foster, but also doesn't try to stop them.
This is dark, twisted, and full of the unexpected. Some spicy scenes, lots of tension, thrills, and a thirst for blood (please, read the warnings). Definitely recommend.

This series is killing me in the best way!
This book continued on from the first one, I couldn't believe what I was reading but some of these kids are more clever than they seemed. But after what happened to her, in the first book I just didn't think anything worse could have happened to her, but it turns out that it was even worse.
This girl is hurting and sad from the events that took place in the first book. The boys started off as big time bullies but in this book they softened up to her and instead of making her life a living they started wanting to protect her and I'm surprised she is letting them after the torment she suffered.
So much suspense, murder, thrill and all together combined it was one heck of an explosion!!

Annika, you did it again! I have to say I loved this book more than book 1.
There is a clear evolution in the relationships and we get to know the characters a bit more, their background, the reasons they are the messed up assholes the MMCs are, except Myles, he's just a psycho, and yet, I got to actually like him!
We start were book 1 left off, but thankfully, a new MMC helps Aspen and gets here to safety. The guys are actually regretting what they did, and we can see that they did indeed have feelings for Aspen.
We find everything in this book: regret, new feelings, smut....and idiots. Why are guys idiots?
I can't wait for book 3 to come out.

There went my soul...
5⭐️/5🔥
Just when I thought the situation could not possibly get any worse, Annika proves me wrong and cackles while destroying what was left of my soul! And I thanked her for it! 🤣 Aspen is over here standing on business, the guys are all trying to get their heads outta their @sses, the teacher is teaching more than history, Rocky has us all questioning our tastes, and by the time I made it to the end, Annika melts our brains with the twists and revelations!!
My pitch-black romance heart is bathing in joy while my brain is whispering, "This is what is fundamentally wrong with you, ma'am!"

Aspen back from the dead SURPRISE!!! I love that. She is fearless and angry. Watch out boys she’s definitely coming for you. They have no idea how revenge can be so sweet. If they want her they need to grovel and earn it. Yeah this book was everything I didn’t know I needed. I love how she takes back her power and how her men have regrets on how they treated her. What can I say men are just idiots at times. Hopefully they can continue to redeem themselves in the next book which by the way that cliffhanger was just nuts. I definitely need book 3 asap!!!!

Annika Martin has once again proven her incredible talent with "Depraved Desires," the second book in the Academy of Rejects series. I was completely captivated from beginning to end, utterly engrossed in the intricate web of suspense, secrets, and scorching romance she weaves.
This book truly has it all. The plot is a masterclass in intrigue, with unexpected twists and turns that kept me guessing at every page. Martin expertly balances the suspense with a deeply emotional and passionate romance. The characters are incredibly complex, especially the morally gray alpha males who command attention with their possessive and protective natures.
Aspen, Myles, Foster, Colin, Monroe, and Rocky each possess a unique allure, and I found myself falling deeper under their spell with every interaction.
And let's not forget our heroine! She's a force to be reckoned with – strong, resilient, and intelligent. Watching her navigate the dangerous world Martin has created is both exhilarating and inspiring.
"Depraved Desires" is more than just a worthy successor to the first book; it elevates the series to new heights. If you crave a story that will consume you with its intensity, complexity, and undeniable heat, then look no further. This book is an absolute must-read!

The first book in this series left me in an odd place where I hated every MMC with a passion and couldn’t see any redeeming qualities, but I still HAD to read more because the ending was so wild! Without that ending, I’d have probably not continued the series.
But this book has turned it all around! I don’t care so much for the new love interests, but somehow the least likable and most psychotic boys from book 1 are now my favorite after book 2! I find myself really liking Myles but absolutely loving Foster. Excellent character development and I can’t wait for book 3!

This was a Rollercoaster of back and forth emotions between the guys that I couldn't decide if they wanted or hated Aspen! But the blood play scenes were on fire except for the knife being inserted where it shouldn't because omg is he depraved!!!. I loved Aspen and her I don't give a crap attitude and out for revenge but I don't feel like it was served. Hoping book 3 will give us the answers we seek!!

I was so excited to read this! I loved the first book, so I was on pins and needles needing to know what happened after that cliffhanger! Aspen has decided that she wants revenge and won't stop until she gets it. Rocky and Monroe agreed to help her. Foster, Collin, Hunter, and Kyle's have no idea what is in store for them. This book is dark with many triggers, so check those before diving in. I absolutely loved it!

WOW! Annika is back at it again!! The second book of the academy of rejects is out!
Left for dead apens back and ready for revenge. Relying on two people she never thought she could, Monroe and Rocky are there.
Thinking she's gone, the 4 that left her for dead are having issues of their own. Each dealing with them in their own way until one of them sees Aspen alive!!
Is revenge what they really want or is it the depraved desires they seek from each other???

This one definitely took me for a wild ride. It was depraving, messy, filled with revenge, dark and twisted and so much let. I would definitely read your triggers with this one it was heavy. Aspen was so strong and did what she had to do to survive. The men were messy but had their moments but I definitely had a favorite. The ending got me for sure but I loved every second of this one

Speechless. Holy moly this book is crazy good. Twists and turns you wouldn’t imagine. Shocking revelations. Aspen has been through some $h1t. And it just keeps coming. This is dark and messed up. Very dark! Know your limits before you read this series. You will get a sneak peak into book 3 after a shocking cliffhanger. Wow!

Ok so hear me out! Book 1 was so good I literally went on Fb and begged Annika to tell me there would be a book 2. She did not disappoint. At one point i was so mad at her for ripping my heart out. I was shook! There are twists and turns and oh man you just have to read it. I think Foster is my new favorite and good luck thinking you know how it's going to end.
