Savaged
My name is Alissa Collis, I'm your typical fiery tempered red-head, ok so maybe not typical for humans.
I'm a vampire hybrid, a half breed abomination, that right there I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, so of course I get angry, lose my temper and out myself. Now I'm being forced to attend a university that caters to the hidden world of vampires. A place that we can learn to remain hidden in plain sight.
What I don't expect however, is the hotties that save my ass. If only they can get along with each other, we might just survive our time at SCU (Santa Catalina University)
Savaged is a reverse harem romance, meaning our FMC will have more than one love interest and won’t have to choose between them at the end. The SCU series consists of 12 stories all set in the university and shared world, and each can be read independently and in any order. Savaged is the fourth book.

Savaged is part of the Santa Catalina University series. Alissa’s life has never been easy. Being a hybrid, she’s had to hide her true self. Used to fading into the background, college brings its own set of challenges….mates, a stalker, and finding out who she really is.
I loved the instantaneous chemistry between Alissa and her mates. The story is so intriguing and I love mystery of it all. Can’t wait to see where Alissa’s journey takes her in the next book.

Savaged is a paranormal reverse harem book, set in the universe of the Santa Catalina University Series. It features Alissa Collis as a hybrid vampire forced to attend university with people who hate her guts.
Alissa has a very strong character. The best thing is that she is very sure about what she wants and she fights for it. She has always had to take care of herself alone and to have four guys suddenly take over her protection is very new for her when all she wants to do is jump their bones at some point or the other.
The beginning of the book was like someone placing pieces on the game board, establishing all the characters with the use of multiple POVs. The latter half made it as hot as a volcano with the attraction sizzling from all sides.
I can’t seem to be able to wait for the next part. I enjoyed the story, especially the spicy scenes.
Happy Reading!

One thing I love about shared universe series is getting to discover new authors that haven't previously been on my radar, and this is a great example.
Alissa has arrived at Santa Catalina University knowing that she's different, even for a supe. Add in several hot guys, a stalker and some mystery, and this is a fab read. Looking forward to seeing where Alissa's story goes next!

Omg this book pulls you in fast. So fast I finished it in a few hours. The characters are so well written and also leave you wondering so much about the guys Alissa gathers around her. Especially the mysterious Mr E.
With a little steam towards the end we are left hanging as your are thrown over the edge of that cliffhanger. I really can't wait for the next book.

Savaged is Bianca Riley's contribution to the Santa Catalina University series and it was fantastic. The series is made up of different leading characters by different authors but all set at Santa Catalina University. Savage follows vampire hybrid Alissa Collins as she attends the university to get a handle on her powers but looks like she gets a handle on something else. That something else being more than a few smoking hot vampire bad boys. However, Alissa is a strong-willed independent woman and she's not about to let some hot-headed males control her life. Let the hijinks begin.
I like a strong female character and that is what Alissa is. Alissa is comfortable in herself and she isn't gonna change just because people want her to. She's an adrenaline junkie who likes to drive fast, shoot pool, and gamble. Alissa lives life but she's a loner and not by choice. She has no family and with the vampire culture looking down on hybrids she doesn't make friends, which is the very reason why she keeps her hybrid status a secret which is also why it's easier for her to not have friends. However, seeing her with the guys has been great. Things are messy and complicated with them but they add something to Alissa's life I don't think she even realize she was missing.
So this is a multiple perspective story which means the guys have chapters which is something I love in a story. The guys had their jerk moments in the beginning but that quickly ended, they couldn't help but fall for her. All of the guys, except for two, seem like bad boys but they have a soft layer for her Alissa. It's really too early to call my favorite if I have one, but I'm gonna say that Wez is kinda in the lead especially because there is a student-teacher factor there.
The story was a quick read but I got the basics of the world and I got a good feel for the characters, all of whom I like. I would like more of the world and figure out more about how the vampires work but that's just me wanting more. I love the university setting and the different classes for the supernaturals not to mention all the cool things Alissa gets up to. However, there were a few more interesting things, such as the royals and a mysterious history which I have a theory about, the vampire king sticking his nose into things, and what exactly Alissa is. Not to mention Bianca has done what I coined and her signature because this is the second book in two separate series she's done this in, the anonymous perspective. We get the perspective of someone unknown and they give unknown information and add a little more mystery to the story. I actually like the incognito character, it has my mind spinning trying to figure out if I know the character, what they want, and what they're planning.
I've read Bianca before and enjoyed her writing but she surpassed herself with this one. Savaged had a lot of the things that I love in a book, multiple perspectives, hot alpha males, supernaturals, mysteries, and it made me laugh. Not to mention a strong female lead who is comfortable with her uniqueness. Savaged ended on a plot twist that no one would have seen coming. I can't wait to read Alissa's next book, I need more steam. I'm also can't wait to dive into the other stories set at Santa Catalina University.

What can I say, Bianca Riley really has a way to pull me in with her hybrid vampire books. This is only her second book but I look forward to reading so much more from her, especially in this series as we follow Alissa's story. The Santa Catalina University books have been a pleasure to read so far and I've loved all of the storylines and characters that each author has come up with.
Alissa's character is a loner for several different reasons, but what I really adored about her character is that she didn't let it get her down. Instead of focusing on her solitude, she chooses to live her life. She doesn't waste time worrying about the little things that aren't important such as clothes and other material items. She thrives on adrenaline and is unpredictable in a lot of her actions, so I never know what to expect from her character. I very much look forward to seeing what all she is capable of in future books, especially after finding out what her other hybrid half is.
Even though she is a loner, it was nice to see a possible bff pop up for her in Princess. Oftentimes friendships like these in RH books aren't focused on and with Alissa not having a lot of people to support her throughout the years, she needs friendship more than ever. I think her relationship with Princess is what helps her break down her walls a bit to allow the other male characters, Brax, Wes, Samuel, and Kas a chance to bust through. Faster than she realizes it, she has more people surrounding her than she ever thought possible, feeling for the most part, protected and at ease...until that whammy of a cliffhanger.
With the stalker aspect, the mystery of Alissa's unknown hybrid heritage and the amazing vampy characters, you're bound to get sucked into this book just like the other amazing books in the Santa Catalina University series.

Second book by this author and gosh darn what a good book it was!
From start to finish it drags you in and keep your mind on the story ready to turn the page just to see if your right about a feeling.
Now lets get some awesome thoughts..
What i loved was her meeting the guys in a bar and hustle some money only to realise later in the book she met some of them before!
Also can we talk about the amazing artwork at the start of each chapter i mean WOW, loved that right away, and what made it even better for me the multiple pov's, i love love love that.
Also the sentence above the chapter i liked it gave a tiny preview of the chapter
Ive loved finding mlre details and little hints along the way.
Loved the moment we found out her second part of what kind of vampire hybrid she is, i liked it alot. Could not believe it what a awesome mix for a hybrid did not see it comming
And along the way we see who her 'mates' are and i liked how they describe why they feel or think hes their mate, gotta love those povs
Loved the moment she finally reaised she fell for the 4 and has a crush on Princess.. just loved that moment!
That ending tho i so did not exspect it, it left me shocked and was glad to find out who mr E/stalker is... i mean wow the feels on that one were high.
Eventho the book ended with a bit of cliffhanger i think in a way its perfect.
Book 2 will hopefully start where this left off and we will ser what happens next.
♡ I recieved this book in return for my honost review and i am doing so willingly (because i love to do it) ♡

Alissa never had an easy life before starting at Santa Catalina University: Raised as an orphan, she had to hide her hybrid status from an early age. Her past made her into a survivor though, and she has learned ways to get the money she needs to survive. On top of needing to hide her hybrid status, SCU comes with its own challenges: men vying for her attention, feelings for a teacher and drawing a stalker to her being only a few of those...
I really enjoyed getting to know Alissa and her men, and trying to find out the identity of her stalker. I just wish this had been a longer book, because a lot of my questions remain and the relationships between Alissa and the guys only truly start to develop at the end of it. Still, the author did a real good job to keep me captivated and looking forward to the next book. Savaged has a strong fmc, a variety of men and an interesting storyline. I definitely recommend reading it.

Alissa is a hybrid, something that has to be kept secret. She’s started attending Santa Catalina University, a school for vampires and other supernaturals alike. There, she meets new friends, and maybe even a stalker. She meets people she hopes can help her learn to better control her powers, and is attracted to more than one guy - of course, feeling guilty that it’s more than one.
The overall plot of this story is good, but I felt like it waffled a little and wasn’t truly consistent, thus my lower review.
The story ends with a cliffhanger, which I personally don’t agree with. It’s a shared universe with multiple authors, and normally that means each book is a standalone with a different main love interest. It says “to be continued” at the end, which could do with the overall SCU plot that gets hashed out later on, but it definitely feels as if Alissa’s story is incomplete.

This book was so good that I spent the last thirty minutes left with anxiety of when I can get my hands on the next one. I don't like spoilers in my reviews so I will keep it as spoiler-free as I can. The multiple povs were perfect and I fell in love with every character. There is a cliffhanger at the end but it was so good and just left me dying for book two. I like that fact that there was a mystery we had to figure out along the way on top of everything else. I have read ALOT of RH and when I tell you the reveal about a certain character had me so excited. This is an RH with a new factor I've never read a book with before. If you're wondering what that is then read the book. If you're a fan of all things RH and vamps but feel like it's hard to find a new twist on it, you will not be disappointed.

Alissa is a new student at Santa Catalina Uni. As far as everyone is concern she is a vampire, but in reality she is a hybrid & must keep it a secret for her own safety. Whats even more problematic, she doesn't know what her other half is. Alissa has captured the eye of some of the male students, but not all of them maybe what they seem.
I enjoyed the overall premise of the story, but found some parts seemed to waffle on to much & others didn't give enough detail. I personally didn't really like most of the guys. Alissa is a bit of a hardass with small glimpses of vulnerable softer side.
The beginning I wished had been flushed out a bit more, but got stronger towards the ending. Ends on cliff hanger. I haven't read any of the other books in the series & wouldn't even have known this was part of a series, so definitely can be read as a stand alone.

My hands twitch with the effort it takes not to storm over there and tuck it back so I can see her face more clearly. I want to imprint every minute detail of her beauty upon my very soul.
Alissa is a badass vampire hybrid, with what she is mixed we don’t know...this makes it all the more intriguing. What we do know is that she is extremely powerful! She attracts the attention of many suitors, some of them being of royal descent. I really enjoyed this book so I hope we find out more about Alissa and the guys!
The only woman who could ever get me on my knees and she has no clue that I'm that willing. That obsessed with her.
This book was a fun read I definitely recommend it!

Alissa is a hybrid orphan who is trying to survive. She survived her childhood, and now is trying to navigate college. She is powerful, and from the beginning people begin to notice her in ways that she’s been trying to hide. She’s bold, she’s smart, and its hard to hide when you’re born to stand out.
I loved the beginning of this series, and can’t wait to see where it goes from here. This novella was a great start, with multiple mysteries: who is her stalker, why is her being a hybrid important, and how does she choose from all of these men that are pushing their way into her life ?!
The novella is short but very fast burn.

I love the SCU world so much!!
Savaged follows Alissa, who is a hybrid orphan, that is just trying to survive life. She had a horrible childhood and is now just trying to enjoy college. She gets noticed easily because she is so crazy powerful, even though she tries to hide it. She has a hard time letting people in and trusting them. Then she meets some interesting guys, and everything gets a little crazy!
I have so many questions!! I am so ready for book 2! I need to know who the stalker is, what kind of hybrid she is, does she really have to get engaged to Kings son? This is an amazing addition to the SCU world and i can't wait for more of Alissas story!!

I devoured this book!! So far I have loved every book that has been connected to Catalina University and Savaged is no exception. Alissa is such a fun FMC and I love that she’s a mystery, even to herself. The guys that are surrounding her are dynamic and I’m kind of loving that they’re not like built in besties, they’re going to have to figure out how to get along and how to share. That was part of the fun in this book! The instant chemistry and draw between Alissa and the guys is awesome. I’m really curious about the stalker and the revelation at the end. I feel like Bianca could have a whole lot of fun writing with what she’s got there! I’m really curious to know more!
January 7, 2022
What an amazing book by Bianca and this isn't the first book I got but wow is it good! This is in a shared universe with several fantastic authors and this one is a great addition in the series. I really want all SCU books. I enjoyed the writing and it isn't a very long book so perfect for an evening. Hiding her identity as a hybrid is difficult but essential to survive. She is offered a scholarship at SCU and finds her mates. All at the same time. Can life be so cruel? Or is there another option? I really loved the built up but wish the book would of been longer. None the less I need more asap and can't wait for the next part. Does end in a cliffhanger so be aware.

Savaged is the 4th book in the SCU (Santa Catalina University series) and apart from this book & Silenced by Crystal North i havent read any other books in this 12 book series.
Vampire Hybrid - Alissa is like a fish out of water when she starts out at SCU. I liked her strong and sassy character that she gives off towards the students the majority of which hate her and the 4 hot guys (Prince Samuel, Kal, Wesley and Braxton) that are attracted to her. Only these guys complicate things for her. I really liked all the main characters but i especially liked Princess. A cracking read with a flaming killer cliffhanger ending!! Ill be on tenterhooks until the next book now

I really loved Savaged!
Alissa is a vampire hybrid orphan who is forced to attend Santa Catalina University. SCU caters to the hidden world of vampires. While attending Alissa finds her love for buggy racing, is attracted to hotties (including royalty) and finds out she has a stalker.
This book was a fast paced read that I devoured in one setting. The only downside was I wished it was longer and I absolutely am looking forward to the next.
I highly recommend reading this book because you will absolutely love Alissa’s story.

This is the first Bianca Riley book I have read and I really enjoyed it. I have not read any of the other books in this series and I did not feel like I was missing any information, it truly did stand alone.
Alissa was one of my favorite types of FMC, she is smart, feisty and independent. I really liked that all of the guys have very distinct personalities, it was easy to differentiate each of their voices. I think Brax is my favorite. The story moved quickly and was compelling, I didn't feel like there was a lot of fluff. The ending made my jaw drop. I cannot wait to read more.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s well written with tonnes of detail, I particularly enjoyed the twists, suspense and that ‘unknown’ element throughout the book. Alissa is a great character, love the car racing - completely kickass. Then add in the guys and and friends, it’s a great mix.
This is a unique series where every book is written by a different author about a different character - they don’t overlap. It’s completely intriguing.
Overall i really enjoyed the book, the cliff hanger ending left me demanding more.

Alissa is a half-breed vampire forced to attend a school where everyone hates her. She must keep her secret or else face the consequences of being a half-breed.
I loved how each chapter was a different POV from the different main characters. It broke up some of the monotony and added alternate views of events. The plot was exciting and Alissa is a very strong character.
There were several slow spots that drug the story down, mostly toward the middle after everyone everyone established. There is a lot of build up to events that didn't cause as much excitement as they should have.

Savaged is another fantastic book by Bianca Riley. I absolutely love Alissa and her sassy I don’t give a f*** attitude. I also love how she never backs down no matter what. I’m interested to find out more about what she is because it has me really intrigued.
I enjoyed the connection that Alissa has with the guys and I also like the fact that the guys each have different personalities.
I can’t wait for the next book to find out what happens especially after that mind blowing cliffhanger.

This is a such a fun read that I finished in one day! Alissa is unique in what and who she is, she just needs to allow her school mates and roommates in to see that; in other words TRUST. They all see a quality about her that draws them in, unfortunately being in the world that they live in Alissa's uniqueness isn't always accepted and add in being a girl she has double the uniqueness. This is a fun quick read with a OH FUDGE STICKS ending! I for one did not see that coming.

YES!! I devoured this story. I came into it pretty blind and was instantly hooked. Alissa is a secret unknown hybrid-vampire, attending Santa Catalina University. There she meets some interesting men...and chaos ensues. I am very invested in how this story will play out - I need book 2!! I have so many questions: Who really is her stalker? Why does the King want her engaged to his son? What kind of hybrid is Alissa? Will she end up with all her men? What happens next?

I enjoyed this book a lot. Alissa was a really fun (mystery hybrid vampire) FMC that knows herself and isn’t concerned about ruffling feathers. And then the men… lots to get to know and enjoy. I like the bit of spice and hope the next book has even more as they come together as a group.
I haven’t read any of the other books in the Santa Catalina University series, but I’m excited to and especially excited to read the rest of Alissa and the guys’ story, because that cliffhanger was a killer!

Great Read and Series Starter
I really liked Alissa, she’s no shrinking violet and doesn’t need any saving, for the most part. I also like the way the harem forms. These are not men that were looking to share lol. And they all have their distinct personalities. There were also some very interesting curveballs to keep me on my toes, especially the last one. What the heck. I’ve been left a little slack jawed till the next book comes out. Can’t wait.
4/5 ⭐️

This book was fantastic, I have read so many university and vampire books and all of the combinations in between and this book was a breath of fresh air. I also have to say that things escalated really quickly and our FMC was dealing with a lot of things all at the same time, so there were definitely no times where the story lagged which I appreciated. I am so excited to see what happens next especially after the ending involving the stalker.

This universe is fast becoming one of my favourites. All these talented authors are doing a fantastic job!
I could not out this book down and devoured it in a few hours.
Then stared into the abyss after that cliffhanger!
The plot of this is fast paced but the steam takes a while to build. I'm so intrigued by the guys (in particular Mr E - love this!) and how things develop between them all.
Eagerly waiting for the next installment!

I have to say that I fell in love with the storyline of Savaged! I was so engrossed with the story that I thought I knew what was going on with Alissa near the end and then I was thrown for a complete loop! I never expected what happened at the ending to turn out that way, but that just proves that this book is well written to keep the readers in suspense! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves a good RH :)

Very very good story. This was one of the first books I have read from Bianca Riley and it was so good. This book can be read alone which was great for me since I haven’t read the others…… yet. All part of the Santa Catalina University. Definitely will be starting them now. Very well written. And I got into it right In The beginning. Love the characters. No spoilers but does have a cliffhanger. So want to read more. Definitely a must read.
