The Fallen
Beautiful. Brutal. Wicked as sin.

***3,5 "Mr. Ego!!!" stars***

“Welcome to the motherfucking forest, Bambi. Word of warning…watch your back, or the predators will.”
I'm really struggling with this review!!!
This was a bully romance which is one of my favorite tropes, but honestly i believe that the author had a very good idea, which she didn't take full advantage of...
This story had many potentions, but it was lacking in many departments...
I liked some aspects of the book, but I didn't like others...
"You don't encounter The Fallen, they encounter you, and if you get on the wrong side of them, there will be hell to pay."
The most intriguing character in here was our main hero, Zephyr Cross, and he was a little bit of irrational phychopath, but hell, i still loved him!!! Lol!!!
Zeph has too many things happening in his life and when Blake is making her appearance on St. Joseph's academy he took an instant dislike toward her which wasn't too much of believable.. He had the hots for her, but he was acting like a douchebag... A very irrational douchebag...
"Stay the fuck out of my way, or be prepared to pay the price."
Blake has her own issues to deal in her life and St. Joseph is a great opportunity to get away from a house who seemed like a jail and to make something of herself...
The truth is that Blake is much more different than the rest population of the Academy. She is poor and different but in a very admirable way...
From the first moment, she was attracted to the asshole that he wants to make her life a living hell...
"There's something about him that sets off wildfires in my body every time I'm near him."
Now, you will say to me, this sounds really good, so why the hell, are you complaining???
Well, first of all, there were in here too many long internal monologues which they were getting me bored... Imagine that I am a fast reader and even though this is not a big book, it took me way too long to finish it...
Secondly, the whole plot seemed to be all over the place and i couldn't keep up with our heroes's behaviors... It was driving me mad...
"There's a war waging between us, and although I don't even know why it's happening, I'm not prepared to back down."
Of course, I can not deny that the intimate moments in here were sickly hot!!! Too hot!!!
Especially between Zeph and Blake!!!
But somewhere in here I will add that Blake's personality wasn't justified her indecision toward the boys and I didn't like it very much...
"It's not a spark, it's a flaming inferno that neither of us can ignore, though both of us are doing our best to."
As for the Fallen... They were all five of them very intriguing characters, but honestly, I can not understand them. It's like each of them has his own agenda and loyalty and friendship doesn't mean anything to them... They've been warned from the first moment, and still they went behind Zeph's back and did... whatever they did!!!
Arrr!!! I'm so frustrating about this!!!
"Those guys are wild, and dangerous. You're on their radar, so watch your back, and maybe if you play your cards right, you'll make it out unscathed."
As for all the other aspects of the book, I'm kind of intrigued with many unfinished businesses in here... I have questions and I'm very curious of what will happen next, but I wish the second book to be more forward and more fastpaced!!!
I told you again that there were potentials here, and I'm wishing for the author at least to take advantage of them in the next book!!!
Also, I believe that this book had to finish on chapter 30 as the author decided before... The last two chapters didn't give anything to the plot and to the anticipation of the next story!!!
"God, what kind of monsters do you think we are?"
"You're exactly the kind of monster to take delight in ruining someone else's life, just because you can."
Before I finish my review, I would love to say that I might be the minority here, but for those that already know me, you know that I'm rarely putting below 4 stars, so something wasn't working well for me in here and I'm really, really sorry for the author which I know that she had put her soul on this story...
I just wanted to be honest here, that's all!!!
""Oh dear. The Fallen will eat you alive."

This book starts off like most bully books girl from wrong side of the tracks gets a scholarship and a high class academy , but let me tell you it was not what i expected. Things straight off the bat go wrong for Blake at her new school and to make it worse everyone was expecting Blake to be a boy lol
Throw in some mean girls and a the Fallen Boys which girls worship and treat them as kings and Blake is in for one hell of a eventful school year.
Once again the author takes you on one hell of a up and down journey and not an easy one, the boys really put her through the ringer but Blake is not as weak as they think she is. With Blackmail and secrets this book has it all
It does end in a cliffhanger so be warned, cannot wait for the next one!!!!

Sins At St. Joseph's Academy by MV Ellis is the First book in the The Fallen Series. This starts the story of Blake and Zephyr. Zephyr is the leader of "The Fallen" group which include Tyce, Thunder, Jagger and Lennon at St. Joseph’s Academy. They are the feared by others at the school. When Blake arrives she releases something in to Zephyr where he can't seem to fight but unwilling to go forward with those feelings at first. Blake earned a scholarship to go to St. Joseph’s Academy and she knows what a honor that is an plans to work hard. This is also a way to escape her harsh life that has been dealt her. But what she runs into is the Fallen group who of course make her life terrible but she fights to keep going. This book does end setting us up for the next book in the series.

The Fallen run the halls of St. Joseph’s Academy. They’re rich, sexy and most definitely untouchable. Zephyr is the leader of the pack. Then there are Tyce, Thunder, Jagger and Lennon. Everyone that knows them knows their word is law and they aren’t to be questioned. Which means their dirty little secret is safe, at least for now.
“I’m a law unto myself in this place, and everyone knows it, even the teachers, right up to the lamer than lame principal.”
Blake is the new girl at St. Joseph’s Academy. She intends to take total advantage of the once in a life time opportunity she has been given. After all, they don’t give a full scholarship to such a prestigious school to just anyone. She earned this and will do whatever it takes so she doesn’t have to return home. She knew going in that her appearance at the uptight, super rich and exclusive school may cause some waves. But she didn’t think the kings of the school would be the ones to come for her right away.
“Welcome to the motherfucking forest, Bambi. Word of warning…watch your back, or the predators will.”
Zeph doesn’t like the new girl. But he can’t seem to get her out of his mind or stay away from her. Blake has her own secrets and wants them hidden from the Fallen...especially Zeph. He's the bad boy she knows she needs to steer clear of but kind of doesn’t want to. There is a ton of drama, mystery and attitude in this book. No bully romance would be complete without the token mean girls and super-hot asshole guys so there is an abundance of them here. Will the Fallen uncover her secret or maybe Blake already knows theirs?
“I’m the alpha, the omega, and every fucking thing in between.”
Bully Romance and Reverse Harem are some of my favorite genres. I love everything about them. Unfortunately this book didn’t work for me. I like the whole idea of the story. It’s just one we have read so many times before that this one didn’t have anything that set it apart from the others. I felt like it was very repetitive. I think because of that I had a hard time connecting with any of the characters. I personally struggled to make it through the book. But just because it wasn’t my favorite doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check it out. If you love Bully and Reverse Harem books take a chance on Sins at St. Joseph’s Academy.

Sins at St Joseph’s Academy is a reverse harem high school bully romance. This is the first book in The Fallen series.
The book does come with a caution “Sins at St Joseph's Academy is a full high school/new adult romance with bully/enemies-to-lovers/love-hate themes, and may contain triggers for some readers.”
This is the first book of MV Ellis that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I am loving the chemistry between Blake, Zeph, Tyce, and Thunder. I really enjoyed that we got all of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life. I hope as the series progresses, we will get Jagger and Lennon’s points of view as well.
The book does end on a cliffhanger but that wasn’t a surprise since it’s the first book in the series. I can’t wait for the next book Lies at St Joseph’s Academy to be released on March 30, 2021.
I would highly recommend this book if you love reverse harems, bully romances, romantic suspense, or contemporary romance.

I love anything written by MV Ellis and Sins at St. Joseph’s Academy is no exception. This is a great reverse harem bully romance that is full of drama, mystery and you guessed it s.e.x. There are a couple of bada$* girls in this story that won’t back down and stand their ground. Five yes count them five gorgeous men with attitude, money and swagger fill the pages and will leave you thinking about them long after you finish the book. For course you can’t have drama unless you have the mean girl clique and mean they are. I loved that this is not just about romance but that there is scandal and mystery involved and even at the end of book one you still don’t know the whole back story. I was left hanging on for dear life wondering what exactly did those boys get themselves into. 5-stars Sins at St. Joseph’s Academy by MV Ellis.
They might be The Fallen, but they are above everyone else at St. Joseph’s Academy. Zephyr, Tyce, Hunter, and the twins Jagger and Lennon are the richest, smartest, and most attractive men at the school, and they know it. The Fallen have a secret but someone out there knows it and wants to make them pay for their sins. Blake Allen is new to the academy and just wanted a chance to get away from her dismal home life. Little did Blake know that entering St. J’s hallowed halls might not be a new beginning for her but just might be her end. Blake has her own secrets and when she constantly gets thrust in the way of The Fallen tensions rise and all their Sins just might get exposed.

I feel quite dissapointed with this book, and thus this review is a struggle.
I didn't love the book, and the characters didnt fully appeal to me either which is a shame as the Bully trope is one of my favourites.
To me the author didnt fully explore any avenue but dabbled with the bullying, academy theme and suspenseful moments.
There are too many elements to this book with little to no progression of each. I felt like I had missed whole chapters of information as it jumped about.
Blake didnt wow me with her angst and indecision over the boys, and her free behaviour didnt feel true to her initial personality.
The fallen boys are meant to be like a brotherhood and occasionally they are but more often that not they work behind each others backs which was a little cringey.
Lastly the ending. I felt like the final few chapters were rushed, and an after thought as the actions of the characters didnt seem to follow the flow of the story.
I'm not tearing my hair out desperate for the next in this series, that's for sure.
I would even go as far as to say I wont read the following books, which saddens me because it could of been so good this series.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
Blake Allen was looking forward to attending St. Joseph's as an escape from her horrid home life with an alcoholic father. This takes a turn once she arrives and meet "The Fallen" who are harsh from day one though she has no clue why. With Zephyr as their leader things get quite interesting amongst this group of rich privileged men that pretty much rule the school. This sets the scene for some scenes that create pure fireworks as well a few surprise twists. Still lots of questions to be answered though so I look forward to the next book whenever it comes out. I really liked this so I give it 4/5 stars.

Dark Bully Reverse Harem Romance is one of my favorite genres to read! I was really excited to start this one, the cover looked good, the blurb was intriguing and I do enjoy this author!
Unfortunately, the execution didn’t hold up to the idea I had in my head. It wasn’t a bad book persay, it just didn’t stand apart from alll the others I have read in this genre. I suppose you could say, it needed a bigger hook, or a more shocking plot twist.... the characters were okay, the plot was okay, and the way the story was told was (again) okay.

Okay, that ending me like wth is happening?! Zeph gives me whiplash, he's a little off. Blake gives me an headache with the "deer in headlights" confused, back and forth. Ugh, I know both of them are dealing with some personal/heavy issues. So I guess it makes sense for them to act this way and be drawn to each other.
I want to know more, especially about the other guys. I also need answers because it's so very interesting. I'm completely obsessed with rh reads so this definitely has my attention.
Can't wait to read more soon.

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. I am rating this book 4.5 stars. I can't believe zephyr is Xavier and Rocky's kid, and he has a sister what happened to her?? Also are tyce and storm part of Xavier brotherhood?? I have so many questions, abd need answers. Also Blake I'm not sure how i feel about her yet. Oh and tyce and storm I love and zeph is obviously a carbon copy of his dad. I can't wait for more.

What a rude this book takes you on. You start out wondering what the prologue has to do with the book. Once you start reading further into it you start to understand. Taking this ride with Blake is off the charts. Anxious for next book.

I won't lie, I queued up this review to make it a DNF but was pressured by my friend to keep reading. I even flipped a coin to decide whether I should continue on or not. The first quarter of the book was incredibly hard to get through. There was terminology that was fitting for Australian setting but I am really unsure if the setting was meant to be Australian or the author just had a slip. That is another problem I found is that there is either too much detail or not enough. I have no idea what ethnicity any of the characters are nor have a clear image of them in my head. The description of them is very bare bones. It makes me unable to truly involve myself in the story to enjoy it further. On the other hand there was one situation where the FMC stood in the door of the classroom waiting to take a seat for ten full pages. She was too busy describing her life history and the boy she interacted with (which still didn't pain an accurate picture of the guy). I was done after the 24% mark. But, I decided to keep going and I am still not entirely convinced I should have, however there were some intrigue that kept me reading.
I wanted to see how the main characters interacted together at first as they got closer to each other. This was good in some ways but it was hard to really find much redeemable about the male characters. They all just seem to be tools. I don't really think Blake needs any of them. She could probably find someone else who actually is worth her time instead of wasting her time with them. Although I do find Thunder and Tyce to be moderately adorable. So, there were some good points.
Blake was a bit confusing for me. She was shy and demure one minute and then living it up the next. She's crying her eyes out about someone because she was treated like a slut then turns around and sleeps with someone else. I am on the cusp of liking her as I watch her start to come into her own but I hope that she becomes a more firm character and not kind of waffle back and forth.
I plan to read the rest of the series to see how it shapes up and whether I can stick with it but I am worried.

I had to double check when this book was written because the slang and the lingo that these character use are very 2003. Honestly, I cringe every time use they say swagger or “what’s poppin.” It’s really giving that Steve Buscemi meme, “what’s up my fellow youths“
The premise of this book is OK, however, the writing is awful! There are so many gaps and plot holes. Like when she first gets approached by Thunder in the library he’s like oh are you trying to hide a body? After seeing her researching something. Then that’s that. However, we time jump a little bit to when he corners her in the hallway and says that he spoke to his dad about her missing mom. When did they speak about that? I feel like that could’ve been a really nice conversation to see that she’s opening up about her family stuff. The author also doesn’t set up plots. I am so confused about who this philosopher is and what Zeph is doing for him. From Contacts I want to assume that this is the house that his little sister died in and the philosopher is some type of drug dealer and Zeph deals for him???
The writing is extremely repetitive. We’re also just being told a bunch of stuff, not actually seeing anything develop. Because of that, the characters are very two dimensional. I just don’t buy that any of these guys are falling for her and willing to do anything for her. She has zero personality half the time she’s scared of everything then the next moment she’s slapping somebody. The only thing about her that these guys are saying intrigue them is that she’s super hot. She also runs her mouth about being a public school kid and how her old school was run by a jail warden yet she has zero backbone. I would’ve loved if she came in from the jump not afraid of them at all and stood her ground and then that’s why their heads turned for her because not only is she attractive, but she’s not falling for any of them.
I hate that this ended on a cliff hanger. I just want to know the mystery element of it all. The sex scenes are boring and random af. Seriously, the guy just shows up and they’re messing around. I truly don’t know if I’ll continue with this series
The premise of this book is OK, however, the writing is awful! There are so many gaps and plot holes. Like when she first gets approached by Thunder in the library he’s like oh are you trying to hide a body? After seeing her researching something. Then that’s that. However, we time jump a little bit to when he corners her in the hallway and says that he spoke to his dad about her missing mom. When did they speak about that? I feel like that could’ve been a really nice conversation to see that she’s opening up about her family stuff. The author also doesn’t set up plots. I am so confused about who this philosopher is and what Zeph is doing for him. From Contacts I want to assume that this is the house that his little sister died in and the philosopher is some type of drug dealer and Zeph deals for him???

Boarding school St Joseph Academy is there for the children of the wealthy. Blake is not a child of wealthy parents but has completed a full colarship. Everything went wrong from day 1. Her name was thought to be a boy so she was placed on a floor with the boys. When she accidentally walks into Zeph's room, she gets the brunt of him.
Zeph and his 4 friends are called the Fallen. They run the school, have even more authority than the teachers. Because he ignores her, denies her existence, the other students soon follow.
Zeph has received videos that make him and his friends nervous. He has started to receive these messages from the moment Blake is in the picture. He is convinced that she has something to do with this and therefore wants to get her out of school as soon as possible and leaves no opportunity to make it clear to her.
And even if he doesn't want her around him, as soon as they are in each other's environment there is that wild attraction.
This book is mainly an introduction to the main characters and their lust / feelings for each other.
Blake comes across as a strong young woman who has been through a lot and is terribly concerned about her mother's disappearance. The possibility to continue her education in St Joseph means that she does not have to be with her alcoholic father. However, the environment is not pleasant for her with the worries about her mother.
Zeph's parents are the wealthiest in the school and that makes him decide the service. The videos he receives have something to do with his sister, who has been in an accident. What that exactly is is not clear in this part, but the tension is mounting
Thunder and Tyce are two of his friends along with twins Jagger and Lennon.
Both Tyce and Thunder are attracted to Blake even though Zeph forbids them to do anything about it
Debauchery, sex, drugs. That makes the life of the boys at St Joseph's worth living for. And Blake, is caught in their midst
An intriguing story. 4,5*

Wow…Sins At St. Joseph Academy (SSJA) is very intense with a wicked cliffhanger. Seriously you don’t even see it coming. It’s not totally a surprise though as it is the first book in The Fallen Series. Blake, Zeph, Tyce, Thunder, Geneva, and the twins (Jagger and Lennon) are the main players or should I say characters in The Fallen Series. I have to admit the guys are intense, sexy, alphahole who don’t even deny they are a**holes of the first order. Zeph, Tyce, and Thunder all want Blake but she has her own problems and due to some comical accidental meetings Zeph finds her guilty of blackmailing him without any proof. Zeph is determined to get rid of Blake and hates that he wants her. SSJA is full of surprises, drama, angst, emotions, secrets, revelations, and lots and lots of heat 🔥🌡. The heat between Blake and Zeph, Tyce, and Thunder is explosive 🧨 and very intense. MV Ellis, author, did a fantastic job with Blake, Zeph, Tyce, and Thunder. They are all very well rounded characters with various backgrounds and personalities that make them very easy to love or hate and relate to. They definitely makes SDJA and The Fallen Series one that you become addicted to reading about. Blake and Zeph especially have very hot and sometimes comical, sometimes intense, and sometimes screwed up encounters that you just can’t stop reading and wanting more. I, for one, got hooked from page one and couldn’t stop reading till the very shocking cliffhanger and could not wait to start book 2, Lies at St. Joseph Academy, in The Fallen Series. I highly recommend Sins at St. Joseph Academy and The Fallen Series. Hope you (readers) enjoy SSJA as much as I do. Happy reading 📖!

4 stars
This was my first MV Ellis book, and for the most part I really enjoyed it! Sins at St. Joseph's Academy is a high school bully reverse harem romance. I'm always on the look out for a good book that fits into this trope, and this book definitely hit the mark! The book, revolves around the boys who make up "The Fallen" and Blake the new girl whom they set their sites on. Zeph, the leader, believes she's there to make trouble for him, and the rest of The Fallen, so he decides they're going to make her life miserable, and break her. The boys of The Fallen basically run amuck, and have no rules, so Blake is pretty much on her own except for her roommate Geneva. Along the way, the guys realize that even though they have a need to break her, they're also completely enraptured by her as well. Zeph, Tyce, and Thunder all stake a claim on her in their own way.
Blake is tough as nails! She has to be to put up with everything the boys threw her way. She, on top of navigating the ins and outs of the social rules of St. Joseph's, is embedded in a mystery of her own. Twists and turns galore!
This was a completely new author to me and I'm so glad I took the leap! This was bully to a T! Zeph was cruel, where he's almost irredeemable, but he does eventually show he has feelings. And Tyce and Thunder, while both still jerks, actually have a somewhat sweet side, Tyce especially. He was the sain to Zeph's crazy. And let me tell ya! This book was hot as hell! Good grief! Your ereader may just spontaneously combust! I know mine almost did! My only complaint, and the reason why I gave it four stars instead of five, is there were a few plotholes, that should have been caught in editing. I'm excited for the next book, because I have to know what happens next for this crew after that balls to wall ending!

So many secrets...so many questions I need answers to. Buckle up readers because MV is about to take you on one hell of a journey!
Sins of St Jo’s is full of drama, mystery, suspense and some hot AF s..e..x scenes!
The story is told from several points of view but our main characters are Zeph and Blake. Zeph is the leader of The Fallen, a group of 5 guys all hot, broody and powerful. They pretty much rule St Joseph’s. They have a secret and someone knows what it is and is trying to blackmail them. Zeph thinks it may be Blake...she arrives at the school at the same time the blackmail starts. What begins as plan to break and get rid of her turns into 3 of The Fallen unable to resist Blake in their own ways.
Blake has her own mysteries to solve and is at the school to escape her home life. She isn’t rich like the other kids and becomes a bit “deer in the headlights” with the goings on at the school, earning her the nickname bambi. She isn’t timid though. She is strong, fierce and feisty.
I can’t wait to get the second book and get some answers. I’m excited to see where the story with the Fallen and Blake goes aswell. We know she has already had encounters with 3 of the Fallen but I wonder if all 5 will become of interest?!
Dark, twisted but oh so good! I will say it ends on a huge cliffhanger so be warned!

3.5 ⭐️
*POSSIBLE PARTIAL SPOILERS*
I love a bully romance but this fell flat for me, it had everything set up for a great book; the bullying trope, a badass heroine and plot twists and turns but all of it fell a bit flat for me.
Okay first off was the characters. None of them I particularly liked and I didn’t feel a connection between them outside of the steamy scenes. I am picky with bully romances but I like when there is a spark of romance between the characters and there wasn’t in this. In all of her three involvements I didn’t feel a romance brewing with any of them.
Next was the plot twists and mystery. This honestly just confused me. I felt the mysteries in the book were explained badly and confusing, along with there being no resolution to any of them which I felt was necessary because I ended up losing interest.
I didn’t love this book but I am going to read the second when it releases to see if the story wraps up in a great way and if the relationships blossom.

Blake starts at Saint Josephs a school for the rich and elite. Unfortunate luck such as name mix-ups, unfortunate timing that coincides with something that makes The Fallen suspicious. And unfortunately reminding one of them of something he rather forget, ends up with Blake on the wrong side of the Fallen even though they are all interested in her in some way.
The Fallen are dealing with their own seacrets and the bullying occurs to try to protect that. Series gives us multiple POV which I really enjoy especially in these Bully romance which lets you see what's going through the characters heads. Zeph is a really interesting character, smart a little psycho. I really appericaited his best friend who calls him and challenges him and makes really good points that the reader think of as well.
All the guys are very distinctive with their own personalities especially with getting their own povs. I really enjoyed reading the dynamics between the characters and look forward to diving deeper into the story to see where it goes between the characters and mysteries.

So I’m pretty sure this MVE’s first RH. (Currently 3/5 Fallen guys in the “harem.”) And it’s the first in a series, so I’m praying the arc of the books helps me start to like some of these characters. Well ok, Tyce is ok. And maybe Thunder. Sort of. That’s the beauty of a series. Character development. My thrill over the fact that Zeph was Rocky and Xavier’s son lasted about 2 paragraphs. I don’t see how Rocky could have raised that. And truly makes me question what kind of person she really was and whether Xavier really turned over a new leaf? I find the characters appear more to be/act like they’re in their mid-20s as opposed to being in high school. Why aren’t these clowns making TikToks? But I digress. The mystery of Aster/the Philosopher/Blake’s mom is supposed to cause suspense, which it does, but is highly confusing to follow, as it doesn’t offer more than a snippet here and there. So I’m definitely looking forward to book 2 for many reasons but mainly to get some questions answered and see if I’m right about a couple things. 😉

An intense, suspenseful bully romance!
An intense, suspenseful start to a new series that doesn’t disappoint. What a banging start to this bully romance that has heat level galore and characters you love to hate. Blake finds herself in a sticky situation when she finds herself the subject of the Fallen and once you get it it’s hard to get away. It wasn’t bad enough that she starting a new school, but Zeph the leader of the group is messing with her mind. This was so good and I have a love/hate relationship with the characters. The storyline will keep you entertained with all the twist that will have you at the edge of your seat. I can’t wait for more especially with that ending.

Gimme more
Ahhh, what is it with broody, bully, alphahole’s that get my heart pumping!? Seriously, these boys (although as of now, only 1 is a true A******) can give a girl sweet dreams at night.
Blake, though confused about what the heck is going on with the Fallen, is fierce. She stands up to them and fights back, even when the chemistry makes it hard to breath. She owns who she is and has her own mystery to solve.
Though we’ve been introduced to all of the Fallen, we only get a taste of some of them. But what we do know...Zeph may be the leader but these boys don’t just blindly follow. They have their own ideas up their sleeve and it’ll be fun to explore the chemistry between Blake and the rest!
Bring on the next book.

Who knew high schoolers could be so manipulative? Of course they are if they are ultra rich! Blake is enrolled in a boarding school where the students actually rule. The ruling class, which are called The Fallen are made up of 5 guys. Their “ leader” Zeph automatically dislikes Blake. He has made it his mission to destroy her.
The theme of this book is conflict. Conflict between the body and mind. The level of attraction between the main characters is unspeakable.... The lengths of knowledge and bullying....
Even with all of the emotional drama going on, I enjoyed the complexity of the storyline. Nothing was as it would seem. Just when I thought I had an understanding of the characters, I didn’t. A cliffhanger ending that has me wondering when the next book will be released.

Sins at St. Joseph's Academy revolves around a couple mysteries, that I am anxious to learn more about. This book has a little of everything. It's RH, academy, bully, suspense, has mean girls and a bit of dubcon.
Blake is a fiesty, scholarship student and draws the eyes of The Fallen. Zeph is suspicious of her, yet drawn to her like a magnet. Tyce and Thunder both are drawn to her and have a soft spot for her and want to help her.
It does end on a cliffhanger, but I was not expecting what happened at the end. I am interested on where the story will go. Hopefully there will be more answers all around im Lies at St. Joseph's Academy.
