Cruel Bully

A Dark Mafia Academy Romance (The Syndicate Academy)

By: Bianca Cole

Narrated by: Autumn Ivy, Corvin King

He’s spent years tormenting me, but now he wants to own me.

I’ve spent years trying to avoid Elias Morales, King of the syndicate academy. He hated me on first sight, and I learned to hate him. A hatred that never had any cause, but defined us both. Elias may be the most devastatingly handsome boy at the academy, but he’s cruel to the core.

Senior year is finally here, and my escape is in sight. I’ll never have to see my tormentor again once I graduate. But, Elias doesn’t intend to let me go that easily. He wants to make sure I’ll never forget him, no matter how hard I try.

He blackmails me when he finds dirt on my family. Information that could tear our world apart. I will not let him destroy the one thing I care about. Which means I have to be his pet for the rest of the year.

He intends to own me and claim my innocence on his terms. He wants to leave me broken and destroyed in ways I never imagined were possible. I thought he hated me, but his actions don't make any sense.

They say there is a fine line between love and hate. I can already feel the line blurring as my tormentor lays his claim. The question is, will I walk out of the academy free or will Elias finally break me?

Cruel Bully is the second book in the Syndicate Academy Series. This book can be read as a standalone and has a happily ever after ending. This is a dark bully romance story and has dark themes, hot scenes, violence, content some readers may find upsetting, and bad language.

Love from hate

Another hit from Bianca Cole. I love how this author brings action and dialogue that keep the reader hooked to the story. The more I try to discover and explore new authors, I end up craving Bianca Cole’s writing style.
Narrators did an outstanding performance.

Awesome story.

WOW. OMG. Are the only words that come to mind. It kept me at the edge of my seat.

EXPECTED BETTER

I thought I was going to like the story since enemies to lovers bully are my favorite trope but this story disappointed me. I was expecting more of a story and was hoping the characters were going to develop throughout the story but they did not. I LOVE CORVIN KING and he ruined me for other male narrators. I did not care for the female character or narrator. Overall ok.

Spice is good, plotline is poor

The spice is good. The plotline has holes and I found myself a little annoyed at some of the writing. The narration by Corvin King is great, though all his characters sound almost identical. Autumn Ivy, her characters have a difference in their voice but a few times you could hear her get caught on a line. wasn't my cup of tea but I'm sure it's well liked.

Rush, unrealistic and uneventful

Story had so many holes and inconsistencies. The MFC is suppose to take over the Bratva on her own but can’t even stand up
To her bully?!?! The MMC is not just a bully he is border line murderous. He literally stabs her. Then it’s like a switch flips and he’s in love. There is no build up to it, just one day I hate her the next I have to have her. The story was rushed, The characters have zero development, and their personas did not match the plot. Also the male narrator never changed his inflection so the MMC was creepy. The story had potential but unfortunately it was not executed very well.
