Disobedient Pawn

The Kings of Wayward Academy, Book 1

De: Brooklyn Cross

Narrado por: Madison Mitts, Aaron Shedlock

Never underestimate the power of a pawn.

My life seemed pretty perfect until I turned twelve. Then everything was destroyed with a fainting spell, a doctor's visit, and a diagnosis that rocked me to my core. Now at seventeen, I am being shipped to a new country and school with no support from my father. I'm facing a tangled web of lies and truths that will test and threaten to break me, but I've never been the type to back down.

The Kings of Wayward Academy set their eyes on me, and the chess game begins.

We are the Kings of Wayward Academy, but this school is not like others for the filthy rich with pretentious attitudes. The most ruthless families in the world have attended Wayward for generations. The land is neutral ground, heavily guarded, and the laws are upheld by an unseen organization that no one dares to take on.

But boredom, for people like us, is a deadly disease. One that usually ends badly for anyone caught in our snare.

Then Princess arrives, Ren Davies, the new girl. Armed with her sharp tongue and striking looks, she has everyone taking a second look. I've never met anyone with a fearless streak like hers. It was inevitable that she would attract our attention. The game begins, and the bets are set. Which King will win?

There are just some games that were never meant to be won.

Best series ever

I’ve already read this series more than once. I cannot wait for the last book to come out this Friday and I am so happy. I finally got the audio. I can’t wait for the other ones to drop.

I read before I listened.

To preface my review, I have read and re-read this series! So I have already imagined what the characters would sound like, according to my imagination. Both narrator’s did a great job, however the female narrator sounds so breathy that it was kind of distracting. (I literally considered how many times she got lightheaded from forcing too much air through each word, while recording). I still loved listening to the story and look forward to listening to the next book.
