Wow, this was really good! It hooked me from the very first page. I really liked the characters, Anna was tough but likeable and i loved the way she handled herself. It was also a refreshing change to have a MMC (Adam) who despite being strong and slightly possessive was also apologetic, kind and loveable. I really liked how he chased Anna towards the end of the story. My only criticism was how it ended, i really wanted Eva to get well and for Adam and Anna to have their HEA (which is implied) but that last twist has left it open for another book and has you questioning if indeed they will get their HEA, despite this I would still recommend this book! It was so full of twists (even to the last page) and I liked how the story was set out, it flowed really well. Will definitely be reading more from this author.

*Spoiler Alert* I loved this twist on the school bully genre. Egotistical, Vain, Self-Centered and a complete nutcase Eva loves to play off against each other in this book. What starts out as nothing more than bitchiness becomes something more sinister as the book progresses. Anna (FMC and Eva's brother Adam girlfriend) gets the majority of Eva's wrath until she manages to get the whole school involved. I really like Anna and Adam but both were so naive to Eva's plotting that i just wanted to shout at them to open their eyes!!! One ray of light was Damon he was a pleasant surprise. Once you found out more about him he was completely different to what i thought he was. Such a bloody good read though but that ending?? Is there going to be another book coming out because i really need to know how that turns out? This book was so good
The book started out great. The back and forth between ‘before’ and ‘now’ in most books usually drives me nuts, but it works here. The reader quickly gets pulled into the story. My issue is about halfway through; I started thinking “what the heck?!” It just all started to seem like unlikely events that were taking place. And the end...just...I like going into a book knowing whether or not it’s a stand alone or part of a series. I was expecting an ending, hopefully a HEA but if not, okay. But the end left me like “wait, is there more or not?” I finished it very unsatisfied.

What a great and twisted read this was. Savannah has such a way to spin a tale that makes you have to go back and re read what you just read. You get the, wait did that just happen" feeling. It was so awesome. Every time you think you know what is going on, you don't.
Plus if you are expecting just a mild dark read, no think again. The bad guy is truly a bad man. I enjoy books that have multiple points of view.
This book is filled with so many different twists and turns, it really messes with your head. I love these types of books. So be prepared when you read Filthy Pride to have your head messed with in the best way.
Well done Savannah and I cannot wait to see what you come up with next.
I did not get into this book as I would have liked. I was confused with the writing and thought WTH am I reading again. It was confusing with all the back and forth and there was a point in this book that I was so frustrated I could not tell who was speaking. Yes I probably should have gone back but at that point I was just frustrated enough to put it down. I took a break and came back to it but could not get into it like I wanted to and I honestly thought this was a standalone but I feel as if it ended not that way. The writing was ok but it was not what I would normally pick up. Will I be giving this author another shot to wow me? Yes probably. Did I enjoy this book it was just ok for me. I know Miss Rose has the ability to captivate with her writing, but this book held none of that for me. I will say that 3 stars is deserved.

Wow filthy pride what a rollercoaster ride of hate , love , abuse and emotions of teenager navigating there way through life and how much one person who thinks she is losing her twin brother and her boyfriend will go to great lengths to make sure everyone suffers. Because she does t see the world around her as everyone one else does as she is a troubled teenager with mental illness who hides it from everyone else. I love savannah rose books and this one was wow savannah has you pulled into the story right from the start I couldn’t put the book down but I have to say I was left speechless how the book end it leaves you wondering what happens in the end because what I was thinking was not good that was so not fair.savannah has done an amazing job writing this story and looking at some hard topics from mental health , eating disorders , abuse and love I enjoyed reading this book
I'm speechless. This was not what I expected. A couple chapters in and I had to go back and read the blurb because I was confused but in the best way. The villain is a true psychopath. The twists the turns, how easily characters were manipulated. I love how you get to read the story from multiple points of view to truly see all angles of the craziness. When it looks like the tables have turned and good will prevail, does it? I finished this book in one day. Once I reached the end I shouted, I knew it but I still hoped for a second epilogue. Go in blind and just read as the story unfolds you won't regret it. This is only the second Savannah Rose book I've read and she is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

Filthy Pride it's another bully romance by Savannah Rose with a completely different and new take in the lives of a group of adolescents, who were suposed to be enjoying their senior year, but they're not. I was happily surprised by this book: very emotional, suspenseful and told in a very unique way. Everything in this tale is well thought and executed. I'm not going to go further in the plot, because of spoillers: this book adresses serious and uncomfortable themes that are important to focus since they are more common than we use to think. Congrats to the author, she did an extremelly nice job!

Revenge,Obsession and Manipulation Turn Brother Against Sister
What an amazing read.
I didn’t want it to end.
Anna, school outcast, pariah, accused of causing a terrible, tragic car accident.
An accident that has robbed Eva, school sweetheart, smart beautiful, and the twin sister of Anna’s now Ex boyfriend Adam, of losing her ability to walk.
So Anna is on the outer, at school she’s ignores by most of her peer, puts her headphones on,head down, and uses her smarts to get revenge on all her bullies. (Some of these results are hilarious)
In the mean time she is forced to suffer the gibes, and dirty looks from Adam, the boy she once loved with all her heart, but now he treats her crap on his shoe. All because he believes she,while driving the car, deliberately caused the accident the night of his sister lost her ability to walk.
Through alternate chapters that swing back-and-forth between different characters POV’s, plus the past and present, we discover what really happened on that night. And just how unhinged Eva was, and is becoming. She feels betray by not only her beloved brother, but her boyfriend at Donnerville High, Damon Lane.
The boy she had convinced herself that she loved,and tried to make love her back. Then it all goes to S***t when he is caught balls deep, with the lushes, sex bomb, Angelique, a girl Eva always consider to be a whore one night at a party. A party that causes Eva to wallow in self pity, while plotting revenge on everyone.
This event, along with what she believes to be her brothers betrayal of her, for falling for the schools nerdy girl, Anna is what sends Eva spiralling into vengeful madness.
A vengeance threatens her own well-being, that she seems unable to stop.
Thus, this vengeance taking the story to a conclusion that has mother, father, brother, Ex boyfriend, and brothers Ex girlfriend, heading towards a confrontation of epic proportions as the blinders come down, and all Eva’s scheming come back to bite. Leaving Eva finally admitting to her guilt, and seeking professional help.
But!
Is the new compliant Eva finally confronting her demons? …Or…is she playing the long game, and about to out “fox” them all?
Eva was devilishly, cunningly, crazy…And, I LOVED her. I was so there for all her devious behaviour, and I didn’t want things left with do gooder Adam and Anna, feeling all smug with themselves thinking they had outsmarted her, and got their HEA ( booo)
Ahhh!…Adam, he was a sweetheart, too trusting, and a little bit gullible when it came to his beloved twin Eva. (To be honest, I was a little disappointed when he found her pills stash)
Anna was a pretty cool female lead. Smart, perceptive, and her inner monologues, at times, were hilarious. Although, she did let her libido,and lust for Adam cloud her judgment at times, but I guess the author wanted to get in the required amount of hook ups for the lived up couple.
However,it was the brilliantly villainous, Eva that i found myself pulling for. She has got to be one of the best female anti heroes EVER! Even when she was having bizarre (almost incestuous thoughts about her brother) I still loved her crazy.
Example Below:
“I want him to constantly look for me the way he looks for her. I want to be the girl on his arm, the way we used to be before we both grew up. I want to be his Little Princess again.”
Yeah. I need another book ASAP! I need to know what’s up with Eva, and what her plans for revenge are…DESPERATELY! ****
I do not usually read reviews, but for some reason, I did read the reviews for this story. I disagree with some of the assessments made. First, this story doesn't end in a cliffhanger. Second, the boy gets his girl. Lastly, this story is a three person point of view. Also, it is not a traditional bully book. It is more of an intricate web of deception that unravels painstakingly slowly. Adam and Anna are the main couple with him falling first. It's their unraveling and coming together that drives part of the story. The other part is that the story is about the girl who wants to keep a boy from falling in love with someone else. I love this story and all of its intricate storylines. Savannah well done. Enjoy.
I have yet to pick up a book by Savannah Rose that I haven't fully enjoyed - and this one was no exception!
I love a book that seriously messes with your mind, and Filthy Pride does that! This book is dark and heartbreaking, hopeful and psychotic. The writing is excellent, dragging you into the pages, not wanting to let you go. And the ending! Reminiscent of the ending in the movie Inception.
If you like a bit of dark, a bit of bully, narcissistic sociopath characters, mystery and intrigue...I would highly recommend this! 🖤
Wow I really liked this book. It was kind of twisted and dark. The characters Anna, Eva and Adam were all likable. I thought all the characters were well written and you could see their point of view. It had twists and turns and kept me engaged. This was my first book by this author and I will be looking for more books by Savannah Rose. This was a good introduction for me.

Why an emotional roller coaster of epic proportions! I didn’t know if I wanted to cheer for Adam and Anna to be together or just move on with their lives! So many twists and turns! Backstabbing, cheating, manipulating, and heartbreak! I’m so emotionally drained from such a super addictive book!

This book was epic! This is the first book I've read by author Savannah Rose but I will be reading more of her books in the near future! This was a twisted unpredictable bully romance. This book could have been closed or open-ended. It would be great if the story continued. This book is a must read and I highly recommend!
I wanted to love this book, but I found it to be frustrating. Between the three POV and jumping back to before and after. Left the story hard to get into for me. Plus, the ending was confusing. I wasn't sure if it was actually over, thought this was a standalone.
Filthy Pride by Savannah Rose was a bully romance with twists. The book hit on many tough topics like abuse and mental health issues. Tons of drama. Not my favorite Savannah Rose book but certainly worth a look.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. This story was unique when you have three people with their own POV, Adam, Anna and Eva.

Is there more? Is there a second book coming out because that ending... Ummm I'm A little confused. Still decent read, crazy back and forth and I didn't like that thief names were so close together it got confusing. I did like the story though
A bully romance unlike the rest- I really loved that this wasn't what you would expect. This was a fresh look on the whole trope and it was extremely well written.
Storyline was ok but there wasn’t chemistry between the two protagonists to buy into it. A shame really as I just didn’t feel the author had developed any of the characters apart from the antagonist. Also wouldn’t call this a bully romance
Entertaining bully read with loads of drama, suspense and twists and turns. Someone out their wants to get their revenge against Anna. Will they? An entertaining read. I liked it.
