Not yet published
Expected 24 Feb 26I shouldn’t have played the game. I knew I couldn’t win.
When the man I loathe the most used bribery to mess with my academic achievements, almost getting me expelled from the best private academy on the continent, I didn’t think twice before starting to plot my revenge.
Soren Ford might seem like the world’s biggest gentleman, but underneath the mask he's nothing but a predator. And the worst part? The predators always find their prey.
Now he’s trapped me, caged me up and vowed never to let me go.
Not until he breaks me.
Not until he ruins me.
Not until he owns everything that I am.
But even the weakest prey can become a predators worst nightmare — and that’s exactly what I’ll be.

As a beta reader she may be biased, however I fear this read was everything I have come to love from a story.
Bullies, gossip, and a whole host of bad intentions. Kat has served us a FMC with no holds barred and an MMC to keep her steady.
Flawless I fear. Simple and easy yes from me. Screamed.

ARC review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Soren is a dark, obsessive cat-and-mouse romance that sinks its teeth in early and refuses to let go. From the first chapter, the power imbalance is sharp, the tension suffocating, and the danger unmistakable.
Sophia's choice to fight back after her academic future is nearly destroyed feels raw and justified, even when you know revenge comes with consequences. She’s not reckless for the sake of drama; she’s cornered, furious, and unwilling to bow. That defiance makes what follows hit even harder when the tables turn and Soren closes the trap.
Soren Ford is chilling in the best way. Publicly polished, privately predatory, he embodies the kind of villain who doesn’t need to raise his voice to terrify. His control is methodical, his obsession absolute, and his vow to break and own her is as disturbing as it is compelling. This is not a softened antihero, this is a man who knows exactly what he is and embraces it.
What makes the story work is the psychological war between them. The captivity isn’t just physical; it’s all in the mind, emotional, and deeply personal. And yet, Sophia refuses to become small. Even when caged, she adapts, sharpens, and turns survival into strategy. Watching her shift from prey to threat is deeply satisfying.
Soren is not a comfort read; it’s dark, possessive, and unapologetically intense. But for readers who crave twisted dynamics, morally black characters, and a heroine who learns how to bare her teeth, this book delivers a haunting, addictive experience that lingers long after the final page.

Sophia and Soren have a bully/academic/family/ rivalry going on, it’s been the way since childhood. But Sophia isn’t your regular degular girl. She doesn’t no just let Soren push her around she fights back, literally! These two are at each other’s throats and trying to one up each other. The bully is not one sided in this one. It’s tit for tat. Sophia is a b***h with a capital B that needs to grow up and Soren is a menace who needs some act right and needs to learn how to take his own advice. Like how are you going to lecture your sister on growing up but you need to the same thing. All of them are too old to be acting like they are. I will tell you the only time miss mamas is not a complete b***h is when Soren has his “hands on her”. She turns into an entirely different person. It’s a joy to read. She is softening for him( a bit) and he’s just obsessed and territorial. I don’t know how any of these young adults have such great grades because all they do is dig up dirt and plot revenge on their enemies. This book was a trip, we just kept going down the rabbit hole and never stopped. I don’t think I have ever read a book where both of the MCs were the bully. They matched each other’s crazy on so many levels. This was a crazy story. I hope to see the stories of some side characters.

ARC Review:
I couldn’t put this book down. I finished in under 24 hours and I wish I could read it again for the first time. This book has everything you need. Enemies to lovers, forbidden love, dark romance/dark academia. Who could ask for more? I was hooked from the first few chapters of the book! A five star read and a great starter book for anyone who is wanting to dip their toe into the world of dark romance. Cannot wait for physical copies to add to my shelf.

Holy wow! Kat has done it once again and I ate this book up so fast. I’m so used to reading her mafia world and reading this one was spectacular. I even peeped the Arlo and Aria moment in the book. But this book was so damn good.
I loved the academic setting of the book and the rivalry between the two characters. I think this book did a really good job setting up the world for other books in the series.
We’ve got the mean and top FMC Sophia who didn’t put up with peoples crap and lies. She’s a headstrong alpha female who will back everything she does. Super smart and analytical of the situation before she attacks it. Doesn’t let an anyone walk all over her and competitive to a fault.
Then we’ve got basically the male version of Sophia in the form of Soren. A competitive bastard. He’s the oldest of his family and it shows. Doesn’t let anyone get away with anything and will attack at the same energy, or even stronger. He’s obsessive of the things he considers his and will protect them. Also hello dirty talk from him.
Let’s start with what I loved about this book. I loved how both of the characters were headstrong in their own ways and didn’t back down. I loved seeing Sophia being a top b*tch queen and standing up for herself. I liked how she bullied and was mean right back to the MMC and didn’t let him get away with anything. I also loved with Soren his character and how he was Sophia but in male form. He was the obsessive bastard the book needed. The both of them are honestly hypocrites sometimes but it’s okay because they are hot as hell.
Plot wise, I think the book was so interesting and left on a good cliffhanger. It gave gossip girl vibes trying to find out who is running Saints and Sinners. And also being able to send in anonymous messages too. I also loved the side characters because I feel like it’s easy to hate or get annoyed at them. But I actually loved all of Sophia and Soren’s friends and their friend group.
I also loved how it was set up with the friend group at one would date each person. And hopefully each couple gets their own book because I just know that those books will eat just like this one.
I think the only thing I wasn’t a fan of was Astrid (Soren’s sister) and Sawyer (Sophia’s brother). I found them boring and annoying, especially because it feels like there isn’t much remorse for how they messed up the families lives. I also don’t like how Sawyer wasn’t able to see where Sophia was coming for and her feelings in the situation and what Astrid did.
I did wish there was more with the academics but other than that I think the book was overall very well done and when I saw what the next book was, I screamed.

Review of advance copy received from Author
This book grabbed me by the throat from the opening pages and never once loosened its grip. Soren is vicious, suffocating, and deliberately cruel in the way only the best dark romances are. The imbalance of power is immediate, the threat ever-present, and the emotional stakes feel dangerous from the start.
Sophia isn’t a heroine who lashes out for shock value—she strikes back because she’s been cornered, humiliated, and pushed to the edge. Her rage feels earned. Watching her refuse to shrink, even when the cost is high, makes every turn of the story hit harder. When control shifts and the game tightens, you feel the snap of the trap right alongside her.
Soren Ford is a nightmare wrapped in elegance. He doesn’t need theatrics to be terrifying; his restraint is what makes him lethal. Calculated, obsessive, and fully aware of his own darkness, he never pretends to be redeemable. He doesn’t soften. He doesn’t hesitate. He wants possession, and he wants her to know it. That unapologetic commitment to being the villain makes him horrifyingly magnetic.
What truly elevates the story is the psychological warfare. This isn’t just about physical dominance—it’s about manipulation, endurance, and identity. Every interaction feels like a test of wills. And through it all, Sophia adapts. She studies him. She evolves. Survival becomes a weapon, and watching her transition from target to challenger is deeply satisfying.
Layered into the chaos is a long history between them—years of rivalry, cruelty disguised as rivalry, and a shared past that blurs the line between hatred and fixation. Add in rival families, public exposure, and a shadowy force intent on destroying them both, and the tension never lets up. Their connection burns hot and reckless, made even more dangerous by how much they have to lose.
The chemistry is feral. Every exchange feels like a dare, every intimate moment like a detonation. It’s the kind of spice that forces you to pause, breathe, and question your life choices before diving back in.
This is not a gentle read. It’s brutal, obsessive, and morally dark. But if you crave enemies who wound each other as deeply as they crave each other, a heroine who bares her claws instead of her throat, and a story that keeps escalating until you forget what sleep is—I hope you’re ready. I demolished this book, I need more from this world, and I am absolutely watching those side characters because I know there’s mess coming.
I’m ready. I’m waiting. And honestly? I’m still recovering.

Soren 🎀 Arc Book Review 🩷
5⭐️ read and the spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🥵🥵🥵
Soren was such a delicious, tantalizing, and honestly such a fun and wild ride. It is centered around Soren and Sophia, who were always sworn enemies due to their families rivalry. But as they got older, they became academic rivals who constantly were seeking revenge against each other. Until one night,while they are at a camp doing their community service hours and wound up having to share one bed. This is a true enemies to lovers vibe. As much as I loved them fighting with each other and getting revenge on each other , I definitely love it a lot more when they are lovers and get all of these juicy scenes between the two of them. The spice was spicing and I’m here for it 🔥🔥
From there, it gets more intense, more spicy, and filled with so many twists and turns along the way. Lots of secrets unravel throughout the story and there are so many shocking moments.
I love Soren and his attitude and his energy so damn much. The filthy mouth this man has on him had me curling my toes and feeling all the feelings throughout this entire book. His obsession with Sophia and his touch her and Die vibes are top-tier and make the perfect MMC 🥵
And let’s talk about bad ass Sophia. Definitely lioness energy who is not afraid to bite back and play just as dirty, while looking really good doing it. She definitely has mean girl vibes, but I still loved her character so much.🎀🎀
I loved all the side characters and all the introductions to their stories. I really hope we get more especially because there was definitely some unanswered questions and still a little bit of a mystery going on that I cannot wait to find out.
This definitely has a Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars vibe going on, which I really loved on top of the dark academia spin.
If you love revenge, angst, a strong plot, praise, kink, forbidden romance, bully romance, and enemies to lovers, this book is for you 🩷🎀
I love these two characters so much and I am definitely not ready to let them go or to say goodbye to this world. I cannot wait for more and truly loved this arc read and this author so much!

dark academia with academic rivals but make them unhinged... SOLD.
Sophia and Soren have been academic rivals and enemies in school and in life. their families have been at each other's throats for years so naturally that animosity transferred to their children. the things that these two have done to each other, the pranks, the revenge, and the retaliations. these two are oil and water truly, but they have never back down from a fight. one thing they will do is one up each other.
we start with them entering their final year at university and sophia has been studying her butt off for these exams. she takes them and a couple days later is called to the dean's office and is accused of cheating. she is then suspended and has to wait to see what the board says but ultimately has to end up retaking all of her exams. she obviously knows who is behind and when i tell you that as soon as she finds out she goes to his room and legit punches him in the face (girl boss) i love her. in retaliation, she records him getting intimate with a teacher and then ends up posting it for everyone to see which leads to him also getting suspended. so they are at this camp cleaning up as their punishment and one night her friend comes over while his friends are over and they spike their drinks and she ends up tattooing "property of sophia sloane" on his chest. oh and did i mention that they are sharing a bed?
we know that there is a fine line between love and hate and these two have it. soren can "claim" to hate sophia but he scared off every man that ever tried something with her for years. its giving obsessed. listen, charge it to the possessiveness.
these two had me cackling at loud. the way that they got back at each other. the banter, the spice... TOP TIER. also loved the suspense of it all. this is for the people who love gossip girl and wish that blair and chuck were enemies but make it unhinged from both ends. You get a mixture of gossip girl, with the vibes of dark academia, and a sprinkle of the royal elite series. so excited for book 2.
*pls check your cw/tw!!*
Thank you so much to Kat King for the e-ARC.

"Why did it feel like it?"
"Because I love you, you fucking moron!"
🌟- 4.5
🌶- 3
Soren is a dark-academia, enemies-to-lovers, family-rivals romance — but actually unhinged.
Not edgy-for-vibes unhinged. Feral unhinged.
What starts as a messy business feud between the Solanes and the Fords turns into an obsessive, ugly, cat-and-mouse war between Sophia and Soren, where both of them actively try to corner, humiliate and mentally wreck each other. From page one, the power imbalance is sharp, and every interaction feels like a game of who’s going to snap first.
And when Soren messes with her studies? Yeah… that’s when Sophia fully loses it — not for drama, but because she’s backed into a corner and done playing nice. From there, it turns into full psychological warfare. Not just dominance — straight-up manipulation, control and mind games. Watching her go from target to challenger was easily one of my favourite parts.
Soren is quietly terrifying. Publicly polished. Privately predatory — and completely obsessed with her, and he’s also unapologetic about wanting to own her. He never really softens — and honestly, that restraint is what makes him scary.
Their rivalry isn’t just present-day chaos either. It’s layered with years of twisted competition, blurred lines between hate and obsession, rival families breathing down their necks, public exposure, and a shadowy force actively trying to burn both of them to the ground. The tension genuinely never lets up.
The chemistry is feral. Every conversation feels like a dare. Every intimate moment feels like a small explosion, whether it's stolen kisses on Dean's table or a sedated tattoo session.
I also didn’t expect to care this much about the mystery side of the book, but the whole Saints & Sinners storyline had me hooked. I needed to know who the real mastermind was — and I was side-eyeing Colton the entire time. 👀
This is not a comfort read. It’s brutal, obsessive, morally dark — and stupidly addictive. And those side characters? Yeah. I’m watching them. Mess is definitely coming.
Review of advance copy received from Author
Soren by Kat King is a captivating dive into the shadowy depths of desire, power, and obsession. From the very first page, it pulls you into a world where darkness isn't just a backdrop but a living, breathing force that shapes every interaction. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can feel the weight of the choices the characters must make, knowing that every step they take leads them deeper into a labyrinth of danger and uncertainty.
The protagonist, Soren, is as complex as he is dangerous, with an intensity that commands attention. His journey is dark and fraught with moral ambiguity, and King does an excellent job of peeling back the layers of his character, revealing a man who is both ruthless and vulnerable. His chemistry with others is electric—charged with a magnetic, almost suffocating force that keeps you hooked.
The pacing is steady, allowing the dark tension to simmer before it explodes in moments of raw emotion and action. While the plot is gripping, it’s the mood and tone that make this book stand out. King’s writing creates a world where every decision feels like it could be your last, and where even the quiet moments are steeped in shadow.
What holds Soren back from being a five-star read for me is the occasional feeling that the story lingers a bit too long in certain spots. There’s an emotional depth to the characters and their arcs that I wanted to explore more, but the slow-burn tension sometimes took precedence, which is both a strength and a slight drawback.
In the end, Soren is a dark, brooding romance with layers of complexity and an irresistible allure. It’s a book that leaves you craving more, with characters you won’t soon forget and a world you’ll want to dive into again and again. A solid four stars and a must-read for fans of dark, twisted tales.

ARC Review — SØREN by Kat King
SØREN is dark, intense, and completely addictive. From the very first chapter, Kat King pulls you into a ruthless game of power, control, and obsession that’s impossible to look away from.
Soren Ford is the definition of a beautifully masked predator, charming, calculating, and terrifyingly intelligent. The private academy setting amps up the tension, especially with the academic rivalry that fuels the enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Every interaction crackles with hatred, chemistry, and danger, making the slow descent from rivalry to obsession absolutely gripping.
The FMC Sophia is not weak or passive, which I loved. She fights back, schemes, and refuses to be broken even when the odds are stacked brutally against her. Watching the power shift and blur between prey and predator kept me glued to the pages. The mean girl x anti-hero dynamic adds a sharp edge that makes this romance feel raw and unpredictable.
This book is not a light read it's dark, twisted, and emotionally intense, but that’s exactly what makes it so compelling. If you love obsessed MMCs, forbidden romance, private academies, and morally gray characters who toe the line between desire and destruction, SØREN will absolutely deliver.
Highly recommend for dark romance readers who enjoy tension, manipulation, and a story that sinks its claws in and refuses to let go.
⚠️ Check trigger warnings before reading.
Thank you to Kat King for the ARC. I can’t wait to see readers get their hands on this one! 🖤🔥

Obsessed is too much of an understatement for how much I fucking loved this book.
I did struggle to get into at the beginning because the characters felt very juvenile, which is why it’s not 5 stars. But then shit got good 😂
Sophia is a grade A bitch and Soren is a playboy, both characters think the world revolves around them because their families are rich. It’s giving Blair and Chuck but make it way darker.
Both MC’s were bullies to each other, Sophia has got claws and she is not afraid to let them out. The revenge from both Sophia and Soren was amazing, I was laughing out loud and what they did to each other.
The enemies to lovers was fully happening in this book. Both characters CANNOT stand each other but shit happens and they finally get a taste of each other 😏 Safe to say they are both equally as obsessed with each other after this.
I really liked how Sophia softened towards Soren, they both brought out a possessive yet soft yearning side towards each other. They are definitely a power couple and they both thrive in chaos.
Thank you to the author for the ARC.
❗️WARNING ❗️
There is a third act breakup and OW drama, it get’s messy but there’s a reason for it all.

I have never read a book like this one and it definitely goes on top of my reader pole!
I love reading books about bullying but it has always been either one or the other but never have I read one as intense as this one with both MC's as being bully's to each other.
Sophie and Soren have known each other since they were kids and have always pulled pranks on each other since they were children. They both claimed they hated each other and it's a possibility that they did and they treated each other with as much hatred as humanly possible.
But as that hatred consumed them, now they had more pressing matters they needed to attend to. Someone or possibly some people are running a school website where they air their fellow students dirty laundry and lately it's been Soren and Sophie's that has been plastered on the website.
They have to figure out who is out to harm them. As Sophie and Soren are trying to figure out who is out to ruin them, they start getting all hot and heavy but have to be very careful especially since their families are rivals and can't stand each other.
I literally lost a whole night of sleep to finish this amazing book! I was consumed by all the characters in this book and I am hoping we get Grace and Kenzo's book next!
This author did one heck of a good job with this book and let me just say that the schmex with these two was like fireworks!

ARC Review
This book got me on edge for the entirety of it.
From the start I knew I was in for something intense, but I wasn't prepared for the constant plot twists that kept my mind wondering what was coming next. Every time I thought I knew what was coming, I was entirely wrong. I was on edge the entire time, convincing myself that the plot wouldn't change, but it kept changing.
The tension between the main characters is dangerously addictive. The psychological push and pull of their predator and prey game is written so well that you can feel how the power shifts from one to another. Nothing is predictable, and that makes it even better.
What honestly grabbed more of my attention was how the story evolved. Starting as revenge, turning into a twisted game of control, and slowly evolves into something complex. The emotional intensity is felt through every chapter.
If you love dark academia vibes, morally grey characters, mind games, and plot twist that leaves you staring at the ceiling at 2am, this book is for you.

Soren was one of the best dark romances I’ve read in a long time. It completely pulled me out of my reading slump and reminded me why I love this genre so much. From the start, the story had me hooked, and I genuinely couldn’t put it down.
The book is set around rich, spoiled students attending an elite private academy, and the drama is top tier. Think major Gossip Girl vibes the messy relationships, power plays, secrets, and chaos everywhere. Every character felt interesting and layered, not just background filler, which made the world feel alive and addictive.
The male and female leads are absolutely unhinged at times. I was honestly stunned by some of the decisions they made, but instead of turning me off, it made me love them even more. Their toxicity, intensity, and unpredictability fit the dark romance tone perfectly and kept me constantly wanting more.
If you’re into dramatic, morally gray characters, private academy settings, and dark romance that fully commits to the chaos, Soren is 100% worth the read.

I received this as an early review copy from the author. These opinions are my own!
I would like to say that this is a solid 4 star, true enemies-to-lovers book. I mean the fmc and mmc are literally trying to kill each other throughout this book. This is definitely a wild ride so I recommend you buckle up and hold on. I would also recommend checking the triggers because their are definitely some violent parts of this, so be warned. It is also very spicy. I think the balance between smut and plot are very well done. And despite some editing issues throughout, it is very well written. The story flows well and the character development and relationship developments are natural. I enjoyed this read it had some heart stopping moments followed by instances where I wanted to rage and cry with the characters as well as an unexpected HEA. It truly had it all. I'm looking forward to reading "Colton" next! Kat King you have become my next insta-buy author!!!

Soren delivers a dark academia romance fueled by rivalry, ambition, and forbidden attraction. Set at Saint Valley Academy, the story follows Sophia Sloane and Soren Ford, heirs to two powerful families locked in a lifelong competition that bleeds into every aspect of their lives.
Sophia is academically flawless and driven by the need to remain in control, while Soren thrives on manipulation, strategy, and dominance. When scandal, rumors, and calculated revenge begin to blur the lines between enemy and desire, their relationship evolves into something explosive and deeply complicated.
The novel leans heavily into themes of power, reputation, obsession, and the consequences of living under constant scrutiny. The presence of an anonymous gossip platform amplifies the tension, turning secrets into weapons and intimacy into risk.
What makes Soren stand out is its unapologetic intensity. The romance is messy, provocative, and morally gray, yet undeniably compelling. A gripping read for fans of dark academia, enemies to lovers, and high-stakes romance.

Sophia Sloane, was the queen bee of Saint Valley Academy. She was rich, beautiful, powerful and above all the smartest girl in the University. But she had a thorn in her life and it was the infamous Soren Ford. The Sloanes and the Fords have been enemies for generations and ever since Sophia and Soren was born they were taught to hate each other.
They were not just enemies pulling each other's legs or doing silly pranks. It was a full on war which happened between them and both of them enjoyed putting each other in misery very very much.
So, Soren decides to do something which messes with Sophia's future in the University and she decides to retaliate.
And when Sophia retaliates, even the Devil starts taking notes.
My Note: Thank you Kat King for sending a copy of this amazing book. I think being a part of Kat King's Arc team was one of the best things that has happened to me, the Queen has done it again. This book is clearly one of the best enemies to lovers trope I have read. Sophia and Soren have my heart. Their story is beautiful. And I love how they have a full on war going on between them instead of meagre pranks. I enjoyed every push and pull between them. And their chemistry was INSANE, I mean I could feel their connection and electricity from the pages, it was written so beautifully. I absolutely loved this book, I hope you guys would enjoy it too.

This book…had me from the start! It gives everything I love about a bully romance. A fmc that refuses to just cower, strong tension, and a villain mmc who you’ll love.
This is a bully dark romance with academia and rivalry. These two are full force at it back and forth. She’s angry and fights back, he wants to control and possession. When I say bully, it’s from both sides lol
When he gets his hands on her, he is possessive and obsessed, and he wants her to know it. She adapts and learns and becomes a threat back.
If you love academia, bully, morally grey, dark reads then this is for you. Every interaction, the tension, the psychological pull, and emotion of this book is truly satisfying! 5/5

Yall are not ready for Soren & Sophia!
This is a TRUE enemies to lovers book.
Where both are bullies and neither back down from one another.
& I absolutely love that! If Soren is plotting his revenge Sophia will give it right back to him but even worse. Both will not back down no matter what.
I love that Soren realizes his obsession with Sophia. He know it was down the rabbit hole when he chased her and had her to himself, as a first as well which makes his obsession even more feral.
Sophia is a bad ass and she got a bad ass of friends who support every bad decision she’s does. Backing her up no matter the cost.
This book will have you clenching your thighs, & turning the pages nonstop until you can’t turn it anymore.
Thank you Kat King for the ARC

Here we go 😈📚 chaotic novice energy activated.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 5/5 spice
Soren had me absolutely feral from page one. Enemies bully vibes? Inject it straight into my veins. Revenge? Delicious. A badass FMC who does not fold, does not beg, and does not play nice? Say less.
The FMC is unhinged but in a way that makes you cheer for her like she’s committing crimes for the plot. She gives as good as she gets and then goes back for more. The MMC? A walking red flag with hot tamale energy. Unstable. Intense. Obsessive. The kind of man who would absolutely ruin your life and you’d still thank him for it.
The tension between them is insane. The back and forth. The power plays. The revenge chess match. Every interaction felt like a threat wrapped in flirting and I was eating it up. The spice was loud, bold, and absolutely not shy. I had to put my phone down a few times just to stare at the wall and regroup.
The twists kept me on edge and I never felt bored for a single second. Every chapter felt like something was about to pop off and most of the time it did. I am desperately hoping we get more of the side characters because I am nosy and I need answers.
If you love chaotic energy, morally questionable decisions, and couples who fight like they’re at war but still want each other carnally, this one is for you. I am seated. I am waiting. I am unwell.

Sophia Sloane and Soren Ford have been sworn enemies since birth. They parents are rival billionaire tycoons and they have hated each other from day one. Spending their time trying to get one over on each other in the worst ways imaginable - all whilst trying to complete their university degrees.
The university that they attend is governed by a secret spilling online gossip column and when Sophia & Soren find themselves on the receiving end of backlash, it thrusts them together in ways that nobody could ever imagine.
Kat was right when she said this was different from everything she had done before and it did not disappoint. Cannot wait to see what happens next at Saint Valley!
