The Hidden Note: Dark High School Bully Romance

Rate this book
Who wouldn’t die for a night with The Kings?
Beautiful.
Cold.
Dangerous.
And Finn Cross is the most dangerous of them all. I want his secrets even more than I want him.
And Finn?
He wants to be the reason my failing heart beats for the last time.
But I know too much.
The Kings aren’t satisfied with ruling Redwood Prep alone. They’re expanding to a dark, shady underworld, facing threats more cruel than they are.
So when Finn comes to my hospital room demanding my help, I’m ready.
He thinks he knows who I am.
But this isn’t Finn’s game. It’s mine.
And I want him.
Kissing me.
Touching me.
Getting closer…
… toward the edge of a cliff he won’t see coming.
Even if he’s more protective of me than anyone else, I can’t give him the upper hand.
Because with a heart condition like mine--one night with The Kings would kill me.

HOLY SPIRIT OF THE SKIES AND EARTH!!

Finn Cross book!!! After waiting over one full year! With his beloved J!♥️♥️♥️

( J is not Serena, after all, I guessed wrong on that one)

The twists in The Hidden Note is deliriously insane, and I ate up every word of it like a snack!! Finn is more dangerous and badass as ever and the way he totally falls for J, totally envelopes her with his badassness and sexiness, I mean!!! To much for even my heart to handle!
