Only trolls leave 1 star ratings when the book hasn’t been released yet. Shame on you for putting down authors that put their souls into their work to have someone knock it down in a 5 second impulse decision. #indieauthorsrock #lovetrumpshate

There's a lot to say about this book. Let's start with the good.
The author definitely knows how to write some truly vile characters. She also writes some really beautifully flawed characters that show us they are capable of redemption.
Holland, aka Snow, is one of those characters that when you read her story you can't help but want good things for her... especially considering all the awful stuff she has already been through.
Ash was getting on my nerves in this book. All that nihilistic self sabotaging behavior annoys me. I'm glad he's got himself sorted now.
Ollie's freak out made me want to slap him. Glad that was a misunderstanding. Also happy that he was making an effort at least until his freak out.
Rome is the best brother in this book. He is selfless with his siblings. He is protective and loyal. Also full of fiery vengeance and that makes me love him more.
Vivienne needs to die. She sucks. She's a terrible mother.
Spoilers and speculation!
Did Addison poison Snow? Or that Trevor Manning football guy. Maybe Vivienne.
I bet Addison's family killed Judge Grayson. They seem to have some game going since Vivienne told Claire, "I win." It could be some game or maybe because of his seducing Addison.
Maybe he raped or tried to rape Addisin too. I kinda feel like that's what happened to Carmen maybe also.
Vivienne probably framed Rome for kicking her to the curb. Did she find the weapon in the piano? Motive is probably she wants money since she's now supposedly penniless.

From the moment I finished reading the very first sentence of this book, I was mentally writing my review.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that the first chapter is going to move your soul! The book in it’s entirety reads and FEELS like poetry for your soul.
This is absolutely my favorite book of the year to date.
In my review for the first of this series, Heartless, I mentioned that it felt slower in the beginning and then picked up steam towards the end and how the end of it was just amazing. The writing in book one, Heartless, is just as beautiful but I was just impatient while reading it. I feel like I really should go back and re-read it again because I feel like I somehow didn’t give it as much love as it deserved.
I was prepared to feel the same way with book two; impatient. Especially after that killer cliffhanger at the end of Heartless! But, nope. I actually had to take my time with this. There were so many emotions being experienced that I had to pause and gather myself.
It went from breathtakingly soulful and squeezing my heart to ALL OF THAT on repeat. The entire book.
Every single word is perfection.
Every single sentence moved me.
Every single scene reached out and buried itself within my heart and mind.
This book may be titled Soulless but it is filled with so much soul that you will finish this book feeling like you are BURSTING from the inside out with so many emotions; some you probably didn’t even know you had or maybe some you didn’t even realize you were capable of experiencing.
Soulless is absolute perfection.
I am in awe at the talent made obvious within these pages; Ivy Fox has changed me with this book. I am changed for the better. I am changed from the inside out. Her words poured in through the cracks within my inner self and wove themselves tightly around each broken piece; attaching themselves to me. They have left an imprint on my soul that will last forever.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! What an ending, Ivy Fox is fast becoming the queen of the cliffhangers with this series, how fast can December come? NOT QUICK ENOUGH!! I NEEEEEEEDDDDD MORE!!!!
This series has been fantastic from start to finish and Ivy Fox pulls all the punches in this book. I even had tears at one part, that is how hard these characters have embedded themselves into my heart. Damn, this book near on killed me, but I love the direction that this book is taking. I think I know, I hope I'm right and boy does that give me all the touchy feelies for book three.
All we need now is "ding dong the witch is dead" and my heart will be complete. Bring on book 3, I'm ready!!

“Snow—”
“My name is Holland, Oliver.” I hold up my hand, stopping his next words, finishing this once and for all.
“There is no Snow. Not anymore.”
And there will never be one again.

If you have never read RH before- look no further than Ivy Fox. She is my go to one click RH author!
Why? Because she writes each character with purpose and care. They all have individuality.
And her stories are full of emotions and purposeful.
And this series shows that!
Soulless picks up where Heartless ends.
Holland “snow” , Ollie, Ash and Rome are all feeling soulless in different ways because of recent events and things in their past.
Snow is soulless and numb. She does not want to expose herself to heartbreak or broken promises.
Ollie is soulless because of heartache and loneliness.
Ash is soulless because he is damaged and raw.
Rome is soulless because of his rage and secrets. We get to see more of his connection with Snow, his background and why he is angry.
Each are trying to mend in their own way while seeking forgiveness in each other.
An Emotional story with secrets, twists, and broken characters trying to find loyalty, love, and their soulmates.

Ok I will admit I enjoyed this one a whole lot more than the first. The twins continued to piss me off and their reasoning behind blaming Holland still only enrages me. I’m sorry but they never told her who their father was and that he was a high profile judge, so how’s it so wrong she didn’t admit who her mother was and that she wasn’t poor. And even so, what’s the big deal? This minor thing caused so much pain and heartbreak it kills me inside. Because of the guys’ actions Holland’s life only gets worse after the ‘incident’ at the end of book one. Ash particularly set her life on a rocky path ostracizing her at school and giving the mean girl of Pembroke (also his brothers ex) ammunition to tear Snow down and hurt her. I’m sorry but I don’t even feel a little bad he went down his own turbulent path with drugs and drinking.
I did not see her and Rome hooking up as they did coming any time soon or that I’d even like him after he caused all the issues to begin with. I’m shocked he was able to worm his way into my heart and make me see him as sweet. After all he still has a lot of atoning to do but I think his sudden change in behaviors and reactions to Snow are sweet and finally show him as having a soul.
This series continues to be riddled with angst and a maddening amount of drama. So glad Holland and her brotherly harem close out the next book with a HEA. Seems their sister Elle gets her own story starting in book 4 and I think I already know I won’t be reading them even though I do love sparky Elle. I think the high-school behaviors, bullying rich kids and inability to conversate have me needing a break from books with this much crazy. Even with this questionable review I have to admit I’ve read the first two books in a single day and just can’t stop even as much as they drive me crazy. It’s midnight and even knowing I shouldn’t start the last book, I cannot help myself.

Wow
So I had a hole in my chest waiting for another book to come out when I stumbled across this series. It's absolutely amazing. Whilst school is featured is say it's more set outside of school. The bullying is minimal in the school setting and the hatred comes from the brothers because they are so hurt and broken from revelations about snow as well as their upbringing. Definitely a must read.

Holy moly! This book was a ride!
Multiple POV, picking up straight from where we left off following the cliffhanger of book one. But then this book ends on ANOTHER cliffhanger!! Ivy knows how to structure her plot and leave her readers wanting more.
I certainly want more. I want more Rome. My word has he redeemed himself some in this second instalment.
There's elements of slow burn and insinuation that we can expect more from the relationship with Holland and the Grayson brothers in the next book. I. CANNOT. WAIT.

Is my heart holding onto a love that no longer exists, or is it imprisoned to a feeling that I alone fell victim to?
Wow. It's difficult to explain the immense feelings I have for this book without giving any spoilers, so I had to begin by saying 'wow'. For the past few months I've really felt that new RH books have been disappointing. It's like they're missing something. Sometimes it's decent writing, character development, or chemistry. Soulless is book two in the series and delivers everything that those books didn't.
We meet Snow in Heartless and we see her life turned upside down. Every reason she had to smile is wiped out because of her mother. The book continues and we see Snow tested time and time again. This book throws even more at her. What we get to see is a Snow who is exhausted and cracked, but still refuses to give up.
The Grayson Brothers are fueled by emotions. Some of darkness and others of sadness. Those feelings are connected to the beautiful girl with hair as white as a winter's day. They've been one of the trials that she's had to overcome and they're realizing she's not as soft as they think. The girl they once loved and tried to hate is a conundrum that they can't get out of their minds.
I'll never be a person to put a sugar coated review up. So when I say this is good, I mean it's so good. This one is darker than book one. We thankfully get a disclaimer before the book begins. But with this one we also get more of everything. Our four main characters are feeling so many emotions and we get to be along for the ride. It's messy, sometimes painful, but also beautiful. My absolute favorite thing about this book is that the relationships are believable. It's hard for an author to write chemistry that I truly believe in, but Ivy Fox does it. I'm already antsy for Faithless.
But that's the thing about misery-when you think that it can't consume you anymore, that it has done its worst by chewing and spitting you out, breaking you apart, and using your shattered bones to clean the flesh of its teeth, it surprises you with its insatiable hunger for agony.

One of my favorite reads of 2019
With the release of every new book, Ivy Fox cements her position as one of my all-time favorite authors. I abhor books that make me feel all emotional and sh**, but she definitely knows how to touch my mind, heart and soul with her prose. She makes me want to savour every syllable of every word and while I know she will most likely break my heart in a bazillion pieces, I know she will put it back together again.
The first book in this series left me shattered and broken and that was before the major cliffhanger was snuck in. I read and reread it, imprinting the characters in my soul, coming up with theories for the sequel that would surely make me feel even more. And again, the author did not disappoint at all. She dove right back into the moment where Heartless left off, giving us some answers causing some relief, but leaving us in the aftermath of said situation and the emotions that are running wild. She surprised me and yet she didn't. Soulless shows how skilled this author really is, being in tune with each of the characters she created, and making their reactions so natural and in line with who they are without being predictable.
Reading book one left me with some clues on what to expect in Soulless, but the execution and development of the plot as per the author are way beyond what my puny mortal brain could ever come up with. This book blows my mind. I would never have expected to love Rome from the first page of this book. But I did.
The first part of this book is rather slow-paced, which is necessary to create the right atmosphere and deal with the different characters and their emotions. But once the pace picks up, Ivy takes us on a rollercoaster ride that literally made my heart throb like I was in an actual rollercoaster. This book had it all... It made me blink away a tear, made me yell profanities at my screen, it made me fall in love, made me sad and happy, made me want to punch a wall,... Ivy Fox is an evil genius who surpassed all my expectations with this book and I am on the edge of my seat to find out what will happen next.
Brownie points for Elle, Chad and Saint. I already love them and can't wait to read their story!

This book is everything!😍
Before I started this book, I was HOPING so hard that this book would measure up to the first! Boyyyy, was I so wrong. This book far EXCEEDED my expectations. Ivy outdid herself with this one, readers! If you are considering whether to read this book, or even this series, put down your current read and start it as soon as possible.
The writing in it’s self was so flawless and captivating. Her words truly reach in and grab your heart. These characters and their growth was something amazing for me... Ivy doesn’t tie it up in a nice pretty bow for you. She brought these characters to life and made them true to who THEY were. It takes a special author to let the characters guide her, rather than her guide the characters. For me, that is what makes this series stand out from the rest.
Soulless, was everything. Thanks for this amazing book Ivy, there are not enough word I can give for this. It truly touched me!🖤

There are just some lines you don't cross. Like you don't start dating your best friend boyfriend, like you don't sleep with your ex boyfriend brother
Nothing excuses her.. she is slut and easy and she accidentally raped one twin -he was unconscious, sleeping and had a wet dream.. heroine thought he was awake and making a move on her. He wakes up and was horrified, that he had sex in his sleep, but somehow heroine ends up the victim, because his reaction....

Breathless
Breathless. Where is this story going? Inquiring minds want to know (hee-hee).
It’s wonderful writing. The story is beyond intriguing and a real nail biter. And you can’t help but root for Snow and all three guys. Not necessarily normal but when is love ever really normal or what most would consider traditional. No matter really as I found myself wanting the ultimate happily ever after for everyone which includes Elle, Chad and Saint. Yeah there’s a real juicy story there as well. I’m hoping Ivy is getting pangs from those characters screaming for her to tell their story too. *hint hint*
I’m really excited about the conclusion to this saga and am eagerly awaiting for karma to do her worst when it comes to that conniving no good horrible excuse for a mother, Vivienne. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for that horrible shrew!!!
Ten stars, Ivy!!!

This book, like all of Ivy’s, is an emotional roller coaster. The sheer pain and hopelessness that Snow feels at the beginning is enough to suffocate you. Ivy Fox has a way of writing her books so that you feel every emotion that the character is meant to be feeling. I cried for Snow and the sheer terror she must have felt in what could only have been one of the worse moments of her life.
As if that wasn’t enough she is forced to attend a school with vile people who are out to ruin her simply for who her father was and who her step brothers are. Still through all of this she keeps her brave face and stays strong. I commend Ivy Fox for how beautifully she portrays Snow as cracked but not truly broken. I also love the fact that we see inside Rome, Ollie and Asher’s heads and learn how each of them are coping with everything that is going on.
I never thought I would grow to love Rome as much as I have with this book. He literally melts my heart. He has so much good inside him and when he learns to let it out it’s beautiful. It was nice to see Ollie and Asher come to their senses as well. Hopefully they can all heal together!
True to form Ivy leaves us on a heart wrenching cliffhanger! I was screaming along with Snow at the end. Thank you Ivy Fox for writing this amazing book. I can’t wait to see how Snow and the Grayson boy’s love story ends!

Soulless is the second book in the the Privilege of Pembroke high series. You need to read Heartless to follow what happens in Soulless.
After the cliffhanger that Ivy Fox left us with in Heartless, I was DYING for Soulless.
Rome really intrigued me in the first book so I was really happy to get lots of his POV in Soulless. And boy did he kill me. We got a glimpse into Rome and why he behaved like he did. He’s always had to be grown up, being the parent for his siblings after his Mum died and his dad didn’t step up and be the father they all needed. All Rome wants is to be loved and to have someone to lean on, as he is always the person other people lean on. I’m so happy that he found this is Snow.
Holland, or ‘Snow’ has had a hard life and in Heartless you saw how she escaped using her relationship with brothers Ash and Ollie. Ash and Ollie stole my heart but in this book, they were struggling. My heart went out to them.
Ivy Fox had my heart soaring, my eyes welling up in tears and my heart breaking for these beautifully broken characters.
A reverse harem series that will have you hooked from the start, rooting for the good people and cursing the bad.
I need Faithless ASAP

Soulless (The Privileged of Pembroke High, #2)
I AM SHOCK! 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Breathe, Snow. Breathe“I remember a gentle voice whispering,
one who kept me sane when all I wanted to do was give in to the madness.
A book that kept me excited from start to finish was so emotional and tragic,
after the terrible events at the end of the previous book, this also has consequences now.
Boys and Snow have a secret that only they know.
How to deal with this difficult time, Suffering relationships, jealousy,
nightmares, heartbreak, etc
But there are also new and unexpected. !🔥🔥🔥💋
Story told several point of views!
And that's the end of the book I am angry and shocked!
I so want this third book!
Thank you! Ivy Fox

Growing up, they tell us not to talk to strangers. Tell us not to get inside cars with strange men. Not to walk alone late at night. They warn us of all sorts of dangers girls can encounter outside their homes. But no one ever warns you about the evil that might live right under your very nose.
🖤 The story 🖤
So the book picks up where Heartless left off, after Roman found Elle in the music room. They now have to deal with the consequences, and figure out where to go from here.
Again, I loved this story. This one was a lot darker than the first book, but not less enjoyable. The characters all went through some major development, and I loved it. I laughed so hard at all the hospital scenes, it was so funny that they were just grieving the fact that he wasn’t dead instead of him possibly dying XD What I mostly love, is that the ‘hate’ in this book isn’t as apparent. In a lot of bully romances, there is like one book dedicated to them just completely hating each other and stuff like that, but in this series, they realized quite quickly that they were in the wrong and that Holland isn’t the bad guy. I really loved that, because it made it even more realistic, since they will have to do some grovelling now, instead of them just being in her good graces immediately.
And again, the ending!! Damn, every epilogue has such a huge cliffhanger in this series XD Also, I loved the playlist, it’s such a nice touch to the stories.
🖤 The characters 🖤
🎼Holland/Snow🎼
I still don’t really know what I think of Holland. I really admired her for how strong she was in this book. She obviously went through a major trauma at the end of the last book, and she needs help to get out of it. I loved her relationship with Roman, but I hated how the twins acted. Anyway, what I really didn’t like about her, is how unnecessary aggressive she is at times. I mean, every time something happens that she doesn’t really like, she gets crazy mad. For example, her thinking that Ash was repulsed by her – while that was OBVIOUSLY not the case, made me so freaking annoyed. And how mad she got when Roman told her that they had to keep on the down low for a while annoyed me too, of course he wanted her to talk to his brothers first?? She’s so freaking annoying, her reactions remind me of a little kid. She didn’t learn anything from the last book either, since she still didn’t bloody communicate. She just creates so much unnecessary drama, and I hate it. Another thing that really bothers me is the way she's dealing with her illness. I’m chronically ill myself, and I don’t have the luxury of just conveniently forgetting all about my illness 24/7. Holland somehow does. Seriously, she eats everything and does EVERYTHING that she wants, and then says ‘oh I’ll probably get sick because of it’ or some shit, but that’s not how illnesses work. I hate how lenient she is with it, and I don’t think that’s a very good representation of being sick. Sure, it doesn’t mean you can’t do anything you want – but you do have to take it into consideration and actually do shit for it. Ugh.
I did however love the way her pain and struggle was written, it was so good! The way she can’t face the room at first, but finds her power in the end. I loved her development in that, although there are still some aspects about her personality that really bother me.
🏊🏼👓The Grayson’s🎸🎾
Damn I was frustrated with Ash in this book! He was being such a jerk, but I get it – I really do. His pain was so well written as well, the way he hates himself more than anything else was so heart breaking to read about. I can’t wait for them all to be together again, poor guy. We didn’t really get a lot of Ash or Ollie moments in this one, but I’m guessing there will be way more in the next book – judging by the ending of this book ;) I fell SO hard for Roman in this book. I felt like I was falling right along with Holland, which was so well written! Good job! You might recall how much I hated him in the last book, but I really started to love him. He finally realized that Holland isn’t the bad guy, and I really started to love his chapters. The way he was babbling to her was so damn cute, I love him!
“No one can rob you of your power. Only you can give it away.”
It still feels really weird to me that her harem will consist of all the brothers, but okay. I definitely thought it was weird how dead set she is on She’s so weird.
I love Elle. Nothing else, just that I love her. I can’t wait to find out more about her own love triangle, and what happened on that ski trip! Can’t freaking wait.
🖤 Overall conclusion 🖤
Another cliffhanger, and I barely slept again. Nothing new honestly. Loved the series, even though I already knew exactly what’s going to happen, and what weird memories Roman is experiencing. It really isn’t rocket science, but I love the books nonetheless.

I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK! It gripped me from the very first chapter and I could not put it down! It deserves all of the stars and more and it is definitely one of my favorite reads of the year!
I fell in love with these characters even more during this book and I am so wrapped up in their story! I went through so many different emotions about each character and their development has just been amazing!
I am sooo sad that this book is over and I am DYING for the next one. I need it like I need air!

“No one can rob you of your power . Only you can give it away.”
In a world of the elite; power and money rule but only when you allow someone the power. Soulless is not just about one person but about how one event changes everything for so many. Read to find out how Snow and and the Grayson siblings handle the aftermath of one horrible night. The journey isn't easy and there definitely some twists and shocking moments.

2.5*. Bit of a let down for me. I got my Roman fix which is what I really wanted but what about Asher? I hope the third book makes up for this one. Also, a few chapters in and I find loads of editing notes all over the place- so bizarre. You’d have thought a final reread before publishing would have found this but nope.

What a freaking amazing book this is. It's full of wild twists, unexpected turns and so much love and intense moments.
I love how snow and the boys are together from love to hate back to love after an awful turn of events. I so wanna say more about how amazing this book is but I don't want to spoil it so hurry and grab a copy

Absolutely amazing!
If you thought the first book of The Privileged of Pembroke High was jaw dropping, then be prepared for even more drama, suspense, heartbreak and of course a million twists and turns to keep you guessing at every corner with Soulless by Ivy Fox.
The sorry continues for Holland, Ash, Ollie and Roman with even more heartache and betrayals, but also finally with some connections that were a long time in coming! And dang, can Ivy compose a killer cliffhanger ending or what?!?!
Overall, if you’re a fan of HS bully romances then grab this series today!

I like this writer, but the subject matter is not my favorite. Billionaires and their wretched spawn + super blonde baby doll. While the Blonde Snowflake moves through brothers like a hot knife through butter, I was slightly moved by the broken bits of Roman. The villains are cartoonish and the bullies are bullies 100% of the time. The end felt like a cop out. Probably not going to continue this family dramzzzz.

What did just happen
This book, it gave me whiplash! I was rooting for the boys and hating the big bro, then I was hating the other and having mixed feelings for the last one, and it pingponged back and forth till almost the end where I thought okay okay this is good we're heading somewhere and then BOOM plot twist!!
The cliffhanger is brutal, as the two books have been as well! Let's go for a HEA in the next one please

“No one can rob you of your power. Only you can give it away.”
My little wish that ached to be fulfilled while reading Heartless, was granted in Soulless.
And was a wonderful story it was. Absolutely brilliant! I'm hooked!

Heartbreaking and Soul wrenching
have to admit that part of me was dreading this book, the cliffhanger at the end of the last book had me heartbroken..... but oh my god just one word "Rome"! I kind of hated him in the first book, but he redeems himself in this book and then some, you get more insight into how and why he became the person he is. A warning some of the scenes are really hard to read. Ash and Ollie to an extent broke my heart, their pain is portrayed so vividly. Holland is incredible, what a heroine, her pain, her strength and resilience is inspiring, she blows me away.
Certain villains get their comeuppance, and others we are still waiting for. The secondary characters will be getting their book (jumping up and down like a 3 year old) Elle, Chad, Saint and I hope Reid is a part of it, because God knows if he can be loyal to Addison after all the horrible crap she pulls, how will none be with someone worthy of his love.
This book isn't for the faint hearted, it will put you through the wringer and yes the cliffhanger at the end sets up for the third and final book.
Ivy Fox is an incredibly talented author, and I literally cannot wait to read more of her work, i have followed her right from the first book she published, and she is definitely at the top of my list of favourite authors.
So do yourself a favour read Heartless and then this book, and then while you wait for book 3 go back read the rest of Ivy's work, you won't be disappointed.
