Black Frost Academy #2
Devious Queen: Black Frost Academy #2
From book 1: I don't belong here, I know it the second I step into Black Frost Academy for the first time. The opulent setting screams of money and is shrouded in secrets but this isn't my world. Bound by a promise made to my aunt that I'm determined to keep, I lockdown my fear and embrace the fresh start I've been given. All I have to do is keep my head down and stay out of trouble, which isn't easy for someone like me. But then I meet them - The Gods. And finding myself the recipient of ice-cold distain. Inexplicably lands me in the crosshairs of two rivals. With the school divided, I'm caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Where bullies are pitted against each other, and infatuation takes a deadly turn. With neither side willing to concede, enemies and allies alike wait with baited breath for the winner to claim their prize. The girl that doesn't belong here. Me.

oh god I’m crying tears of joy!! that was an incredible ending to Bo and her boys story. I miss them all already!!
Rafe, Frost, Knox, Deacon and Axel own my heart and soul.
The plot twists, the lies, the betrayal and the secrets quite literally sent shivers down my spine.
The amount of times my jaw dropped while reading this is insane. 😧Those spicy scenes and the group activities were beyond hot. The boys dirty talk and the MM action got me all kinds of flustered 😮💨 Also Bo telling them what to do and what she wanted was HOT AS FUCK, she got them boys down on their knees!!!! 🔥
Bo is a fucking queen, the amount of shit she went through was heartbreaking but she came out on top of it all. She continued to fight and to stand up for herself no matter how much people tried to bring her down. She didn’t take shit from anyone and it made me high pitch squeal when she put those vile scum in their place. I fucking loved it!!
It’s true, The Queen Will Always Take The King 🖤

This was a completion to the previous book, and I'm glad it was complete in a duo, rather than trying yo drag it out to a trilogy or more. It's perfect as a duo.
Having said that... I'm not sure what it was but it felt like something was missing...but I dont know what. It's a RH but perhaps the chemistry isn't as powerful with all of them? The twist with jade is harsh but well done.
The ending was wrapped up well, with all the side tales also tied off nicely.
A solid academia read, but, there's nothing that will make it stand out above others.
Written well and consistently, with a great strong female lead.
Wirth a pick up to have something to read when you're off work. Or at the beach, or just looking to get lost on a book fir a while!

DAMN!! What an intense, thrilling, sexy and violent ending to this phenomenal duet. I loved every deliciously bloody and extremely steamy moment of this story. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through, biting my nails with anticipation of what was going to happen next, and then there were moments throughout that literally had my jaw dropping on the floor.
Bo is heartbroken with the loss of Frost (and so am I). But even with her heartbreak she continues to show us how strong she is and how fiercely she will protect her family. Her men surround her with love and understanding trying to help her cope with the loss of one of their own.
This story is well written, keeping you captivated and intrigued (and sometimes screaming out loud), and turning the pages quickly to see how it was all going to playout in the end. And what an explosive and totally satisfying ending that was!! Jam packed with action, suspense, angst, drama, heartache, pain, violence and some very steamy moments, this story will take you one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride that you never want to end.
Loved it!

It's the return to Black Frost Academy and the conclusion of this dynamic duet. What an explosive book to end Bo's and the crews story. Hold on tight to your seatbelt's because this is a wild ride...
Lies, secrets and betrayal have reached breaking point and every obstacle is in Bo's path, but with her men at her back and Bo standing front and center, they're a force to be reckoned with. This was emotional, tense and utterly heartbreaking at times. I will sorely miss Frost, but this isn't the end.
There's change on the horizon with new characters coming into play and new doors opening. It is only the beginning. Things are on the horizon as Black Frost Academy closes it's doors.

horrible
This book was such a train wreck that you just couldn’t stop reading and not in a good way. I finally had to stop halfway through this book because I have so many questions to start what happened to her aunt? How did Frost die? Where did rocket come from? What actually happened?
This book has so many plot holes and so many different types of plots that I’m convinced when the author was writing this book she had a fishbowl tropes and plot and she picked 20 and then try to make them all fit together.
And honestly ? Bo is not strong. She’s rude and expects everyone to tiptoe and cater to her. I do not understand how this book has so many five stars.

So many twists and turns in this book! The FMC goes through so much and still comes out strong in the end. The guys are so devoted and protective towards the FMC and the steam is top notch! After the heartbreak of the first book I wasn’t sure I would be happy with the outcome, but the author proved me wrong and I wished I would have had more faith in her. This was amazing and I look forward to her next series.

Absolutely smashed the crap out of this one. Every loose end was tied, the darkness that Bo endured during Black Frost was well worth it for her to have her men stand by her in this fantastic sequel. Tatum style of writing has progressed and grown with a maturity that is evident in RTBF. The character growth is paramount to the story and the supporting characters eb and flow throughout. Knowing Tatum we have not seen the last of some of these, her world building is paramount in her books.

The queen will reign
Well I didn't see that coming. Bow and her Mary man have caused a lot of trouble in this town. But when the truth comes out the girl who has been called trash has more power in this town than anyone else. And the ghost from book one come back hell breaks loose and more things come to head. Long lost siblings are known and people who are involved in certain things practice. The queen has spoken.

The best stories have a smart, strong female, who is able to fight when she has to. This story had sexy, dominant guys do not rule her, but strengthen and support her. The action, writing, story, characters were mesmerizing and perfect. It was exciting, fun and so sexy!!!
An amazing story that you will love!

Eh
God this shit is all over the place. I hoped the writing would get better in the second one. It was good don't get me wrong but the relationship between axle and raff came out of nowhere and she doesn't lead up to anything it just pops up. If she had build up to anything it would have been so much better

brilliant
Absolutely loved this series. Such a strong leading female character. Some things I thought could have been expanded on and others better explained in the transition between books though for example where does the name rocket suddenly come into play ? Etc. it had me double checking that I had t skipped a book 🤷♀️

Tatum just crushed it. This was such a good story. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. At times this story made my heart hurt. I really connected with Bo. She can hold her own. The love within these pages radiates.

What can I say about this is definitely worth the read!
I just can't not read anything by the author, she quickly climbed up in my favourite authors and her books will be ones I definitely re read! If you haven't checked out her other books GO DO IT

I loved these two books. Bo and her men were an incredible story. The sex scenes amazing. I just couldn't give them a 5-star review because of the copious typing errors. They hindered the story a bit for me.

I wasn't sure at first if this book was necessary, however I am glad she made it. But that said..... Wow that was alot, like maybe too much wtf happening. There were so many twist and turns and random bits everywhere, it was just alot.

I recently read the first book in this series and enjoyed it, wanting more, but I can’t remember how it ended or what it was about. I had to go back and reread the first book, and I highly recommend you read this one right after the first one.
We begin this book with Bo and Deacon; they still seem to be a chaotic place with everything that happened in Book One of this series. The book is steamy and might make you a little hot and bothered. Ah, the author does include a dream refresh of the insane sequence at the end of the last book.
Bo is struggling with all the toxic changes in her life, and she tries to embrace the good with her men. I’m unsure if she is going crazy, but life seems complicated. I do love that twist the author tossed in unexpectedly. That revelation wasn’t enough; the author also has to add a new surprise. There is a sizzling amount of steamy scenes with multiple partners, male on male. Of course, the less complicated male and female intimacy but this book is a reverse harem, and the author explores its inner workings.
This book gets a little more deranged as things start to fail, epically in Bo’s world. However, I like how the author wound up to the intense action and then held the edge-of-your-seat suspense with no clues as to what would happen. The epilogue of this book is steamy. I like how they wrapped up this intense bully-dark romance. Bo is a badass woman, and I love her strength and femininity.

Return to Black Frost Academy is the last book in the Black Frost Duet.
There is a new MC introduced, Kylo, who does not become part of Bo's harem.
WOW. There were so many twists and turns and more secrets revealed in this one. Bo and her guys just keep taking hit after hit after hit.
The story is so fast paced you will burn through the pages.
And what can I say about Chapter 16. It's 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
There is still angst, but you do get more background story as things are revealed.
Overall I loved this book and I am now looking forward to the next series Broad Creek, based around other characters from this series

Riveting!!
Wow just wow. So are you ready for a whirlwind of a story because this is one. One thing don't mess with Bo or her men. She definitely has no problem throwing down. She is definitely fierce. I loved her. There were several things that definitely took me by surprise and such awesome surprises they were. I loved her men, they would do anything for her, protect her, love her and take care of her. Oh and I absolutely adored Ms. Jeanette, she is the bomb. I really enjoyed this book, so good. I recommend this book but definitely start with book one first.

YESSSSSSSS! yes yes yes yes! This book was everything I needed it to be after how the first book left me in my feels. I love Bo and her take no ish from anyone attitude. Her men are *chefs kiss*. I honestly dont want to say too much more cause I dont want to spoil it for anyone, but I literally felt every emotion while reading this book. I love when an author can make me feel the real feels. And the spice? wheeeeeeeew *fans self*. This book kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next.

I have no idea how I'm going to review this without spoilers lol. This is the second half of Bo, Deacon, Knox, and Rafe's BFA story. When I tell you I didn't expect the twists and turns.. MAAAAAN THEY THROW YOU FOR A LOOP! Tatum did amazing building up this world, and her characters feel like real people. I can't wait to read more reviews and see what everyone thinks!
