Rebellious Rook

The Kings of Wayward Academy, Book 4

By: Brooklyn Cross

Narrated by: Madison Mitts, Aaron Shedlock

The rook's heart is as cold as stone, but when the rock crumbles, the spoils are twice as sweet.

Death follows me around like a dark cloud just waiting to strike. First, it stole my mother, then my aunt, and now my father is missing. Even though I'm told to walk away, and even though finding him shouldn't be my top priority, the memory of him begging me to talk to him haunts my dreams.

Consumed with protecting me, the guys struggle to let me help find answers to the mysteries that only grow deeper. That is until a gift arrives on my eighteenth birthday that will blow up my world forever.

I find an ally in the most unlikely source. Liam doesn't treat me like I need to be protected and instead challenges me to prove my worth. So, when a high‑stakes game of poker can change the course of all our fates, I jump at the opportunity.

But, I quickly find that when you play for life or death, you need to be aware of the wildcard.

LOVED REN & HER KINGS

I read the complete series this year and its my top RH Dark Mafia Romances. I have been listening to audiobooks as they are released and the narrators did not disappoint. This is one of my favorite books in the series because of the character development of Ren and my favorite king, Nash. I loved how their slow burn enemies to lovers has progressed every book. I also loved seeing her develop her relationship with Liam and the other kings. Cant wait until the rest of the books are out on audio

Amazing

REN is definitely one of my favorite characters, looking for to the rest of the series coming to audible

Chapter 54!!! Hot hot hot

Okay there are no words....this book is so good. My favorite of the series so far. So much happens in this book. You get some answers, you fall in love with some characters and with for the death or torture of others. The way this book ends has my stomach in knots. I can't wait for the audio release of the last 2 books. I can't just read them, I have to listen to them because the Madison Mitts and Aaron Shedlock are absolutely phenomenal. Case in point.....Chapter 54, holy hell Aaron Shedlock. Holy Hell!

Next please!

Finally have all 5 guys. Spice was decent. Story was good. There was drama and found family and friendship. There was action and continued plot. I can’t wait till the next one!

Awesome Series!

I've never read anything from this author. I enjoyed every book. I had to read the last books since they aren't on audible yet. The narrators were fantastic!
