About the book:

Welcome to the world of Hawthorne Prep. A seemingly idyllic school where ivy clings to the thick stone walls and a wrought iron gate keeps out the townies who can’t afford to foot the hefty price tag.

Except…I’m one of those townies.

I don’t belong here.

Most of the time, I feel like an outsider with her face smashed against a windowpane while staring inside. It’s a lonely feeling. One I’ve gotten used to. There are times when I secretly wonder if I’ll make it through senior year intact.

But then someone comes along and turns my world upside down and inside out. He makes me feel things I never dreamed possible. There’s a possessiveness to the way he watches me, and it sets my nerves on edge.

Especially when it’s in front of my boyfriend.

The one I desperately want to break up with.

The very same one who will make my life hell if I try to pull the plug.

Steering clear of Austin Hawthorne is my only option. A little attempt at self-preservation. For both our sakes.

One night changes everything between us and has me believing in the possibility of something more.

Just as swiftly as I’m given hope, it all comes crashing down around my head, making me a pawn in a game between two boys who will stop at nothing to take each other down.

Betrayal. Blackmail. Revenge.

How is it that those three words now rule my life?

Gah! I couldn't put this book down!

"What is it about the inky-haired, green-eyed boy that sets my nerves on edge and makes my heart skip a painful beat every time I catch sight of him."

Delilah Robinson is stuck in a relationship with Jasper Morgan. He's not the guy she thought he was. She's desperate to break up with him but is fearful of the consequences. One night, things come to a head and she's rescued by Austin Hawthorne, the guy she's drawn to since the first day they met. Just when she thinks they'll have a chance, her life comes crashing down around her.

"You know what I think? That you want to be owned. But only by me. Are you really going to tell me that you don't enjoy my hands on you?"

Oh. My. Gosh! Delilah becomes completely stuck between a rock, a hard place, and an absolute chasm of crappiness. I thought she was stoic and strong, and yet, other times, she really needed to use more force and push herself to be heard. She had guts but then there were moments when she let herself be fooled and pushed around like a ragdoll. There were times when she was so goddamn gullible that it was horribly frustrating! I'm like, where is your backbone, girl?! Where's your common sense? Trust your gut instincts! Between Jasper (nasty piece of work), Austin (burnt and totally mistrustful of Delilah), her own mother (ugh, don't even start), and the stinking cesspool of kids at her school, it's a wonder she didn't run screaming off a cliff just to to escape them all. Aaannnddd.....just when you think she's hit the bell on the happiness-o-meter, something horrible befalls her. That ending! I could cry!

This story was addictive, anxiety-inducing, hot AF, and frustrating! LOL. I can't wait for the concluding part. Seriously.
