Stray: A Dark College Romance
I drew the attention of a Graveyard King, and now he stalks my every move.
I'm obsessed with danger. Stray Hurley is obsessed with me. He's one of the Graveyard Kings, a group involved in illicit black market activity. When a guy at a party tampers with my drink, Stray makes him wish he'd never been born. From that moment on, Stray is everywhere I go.
His constant presence makes it hard to do as I please. Nobody knows my secret. I put myself in dangerous situations for the rush. Meeting strangers online, knowing I may not make it home alive. It gives my safe, typical life the excitement I've been missing.
When Stray finds out what I've been up to, he blackmails me. Act out my dark fantasies with him or he'll expose me to everyone. My friends, family, and classmates. They'll all know about my twisted urges.
What choice do I have? Giving in to Stray takes us both to a strange, dark place. If I don't find a way to escape him before it's too late, I never will.
This is a dark enemies to lovers/stalker MF romance. Content warnings can be found on the author's website. For readers 18+. This book can be read as a stand alone but it is recommended to start with Rebel.

I’ve been writing since the age of 9 when I had a Christmas themed short story published in the local town paper. A lover of rock music, vampires and muscle cars, I’m a dreamer who always secretly wanted to be a rockstar.
I love to hear from readers so don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

⭐️3.9 🌶️4
Now although I COULD TF NOT stand Codie for a good portion of this book, I did enjoy this book more than the first one. Stray is my baby and I adore him. Codie was not only driving him insane, but driving me into an asylum😓.
I love how overtime their relationship blossoms. Codie was fighting so many demons I was trying my best to whisper to her through the pages, but she didn’t listen😭🤣. I’m so glad they got their hea.
Can we talk about the Dom and Noah crumbs tho? Pls tell me that my MM book is coming because I fear I’ll be more than sat for that one. For some reason tho from the very beginning Casper was my favorite and he’s mute and barely has lines🙃 LMAOAOA. Idk I have an inkling, but we’ll see.

2.5 We return to the most messed up town full of horny 19 year old organ thieves. It’s a ridiculous plot, but I’m here for it. 🤪
(Possible spoilers ahead)
Stray (H) is a hot, gangster-like, organ thief along with his bro club. He’s Bff with the H from book 1.
h is BFFs with the h from book 1. Well, she likes danger. Enough so, she sees a random guy drug her drink and she still drinks the drink. Stray is obsessed with her so he saves her. He realized h is into some kinky stuff, so he blackmails her.
h is very annoying. She does the most hot and cold whiplash ever. One minute, she’s all over Stray, the next she’s like go away. She even goes to their mortal enemies and wants them to get Stray away from her.
Naturally, Stray is devastated when he finds out and breaks up with her. Now h is all of a sudden, in love with Stray. Girrrrl, pick a lane. The bad people kidnap her, but Stray saves the day.
H and h from book 1 get married. h moves in with Stray.
I found this book a little boring. It seems like the upcoming books are just going to be a mixture of the two friend groups hooking up.
Meh

This is book two of the Graveyard Kings book and it was amazing. It was better than book one and I can’t wait to read book three! I love the Kings and their craziness. Codie and Stray are an interesting couple. There are some great dialogue between these two and the rest of the cast of character. I can’t wait for Casper and Luna’s book!
