Thriller Thursday

Cult Campus #4

by Kitty King

On Thursdays, we hide. If we’re tagged… we’re bagged.

Everyone knows the rules.
Stay silent. Hide. Survive the fog.

I was supposed to keep my head down.
Fake compliance. Graduate. Make it out alive.

Then I saw something I wasn’t meant to see.

Now I’m being hunted.

Apollo Griffin says he’s here to protect me.
The Delta president. And my newly assigned husband.
A man who follows orders.

But in a system built on obedience, protection feels like another cage.

If I stay, I lose everything.
And if I’m tagged?

I won’t make it to Friday.

If you like ritual hunts, false marriages, masked killers, and lovers bound by fear, obsession, and control—you won’t make it through Thursday untouched.

[KayBeReading · Rating 5 out of 5]

We are starting off with a bang. Scout just found out her boyfriend was an ahole and Apollo helped her save face. Now these two have taken off and Scout is going balls to the wall. Apollo is willing to give her anything she wants. Girlie is a serious person, she gets it from her momma. Friends chapter eight was a hoot, I was giggling the entire time. Each game that they play is wild but Thriller Thursday is outlandish. It’s a very adult version of tag/hide and seek. I adore Apollo. He’s trying to make the best out of the situation. And Scout is raining on our parade, but I get it. Apollo is the definition of a golden retriever I just want him to hold my fist in his hand. I love this man. Now don’t get it twisted he is very much touch her and meet dirt as well. And if Scour keeps being mean to this man, we can handle it in the streets. My shadow figure has made an appearance, I also look for this person. There is something else going on in addition to the main story and I want to know what it is and who it is. As always something is going on with Greek life. And that new president they have, I got my eyes on her all four of them( I wear glasses). Scout tried to fight her feelings so hard but Apollo is just amazing and you can’t help but fall for him. Their relationship developed organically and beautifully. We have to talk about the spice miss mamas threw down a challenge and Apollo said say less. Ole girl was walking funny because big man is hung. There is one scene where big man dropped off that thang and said I’ll see you at home. And all Scout could do was say yes daddy and bring her ass home. I was giggling so hard. A lot of things happened and puzzle pieces are falling into place. This university and all the people in charge are crazy and need admitted. Our couples are working some things out and I can’t wait to see how it plays out. Apollo and Scout are perfectly matched. The nicknames they have for each other, their acts of service for each other, swoon. Now I’m going to tell you now this one isn’t as dark as the rest which we are told in the beginning. Apollo and Scout’s coupling wasn’t as dramatic as the previous couples but they still had their fair share of drama and interference to overcome to be and stay together. This was a beautiful love story. We also got a glimpse at Feral Friday and I’m ecstatic for the FMC. I’m so excited to see how this series plays out. As always well done Kitty, your writing is outstanding.
