So, it's a very typical RH plot: “badass heroine goes to a fancy academy where the heroes rule the school, she pretends to be weaker than she is, everyone underestimates her.” There’s some bullying, but not from the heroes, and she handles it easily. Now, she’s 19 or 20 and she’s out for revenge (which involves attending the city’s fancy college under a fake name, because sure, why not!). When she was 11, the other families murdered hers.
Jolie was in one of the families, and best friends with the sons of the other 3.
This is set in a fictional city where everything revolves around 4 mafia-ish families (but there’s no mafia terminology). But this author is good at writing that type of heroine in a way that makes me like her, and somehow is NOT annoying! Usually that’s annoying, and that kind of heroine is too perfect, which is boring. What do I mean by “power fantasy?” Well, it’s one of those stories where the heroine is kickass, takes 0 shit from anybody, and basically rules her corner of the world. Anyone who likes Hannaford Prep: The Complete Series or Pacific Prep: The Complete Series would like it, but it’s better than those. This a college / academy RH that’s dark-ish, but not really (there’s murder and mayhem, but the main relationship isn’t dark). That little girl is me, and I’m going to burn this City to the motherfucking ground. That little girl is all grown up, and now she’s the Academy’s newest scholarship student. That little girl has been hiding just across the river, right under their noses. Only what Bennett Spencer, Noah Hargraves, and Zach Ferrero don’t know-what the Families have failed to realize after all these years-is that Jolie Knight didn’t die that night. Seven years later, the remaining Heirs have taken their place at the ultra-exclusive Holywell Academy where the City’s elite strive to earn a coveted place in the Families’ kingdom by rubbing elbows with the exalted sons. Their daughter was only eleven years old.Īnd the other Heirs-three sons-were only twelve as they watched their best friend die on the floor of a soulless beige conference room next to her parents. The Spencers, the Hargraves, the Ferreros, and the Knights rule the City together with their exorbitant wealth and iron fists that no one dare challenge.Įach Family has an Heir, and they are raised together to one day assume control of their respective empires, trained to crush anyone who stands in their way under the heel of their unmeasurable power.Īt least, there were Four Families, and there were four Heirs-until three of the Families banded together to murder the Knights in cold blood one fateful summer night. In Saint Gabriel City, there are the Four Families, and there are those who are owned by them.
