Publisher's Summary

They might be richer than gods, but they’re morally bankrupt. As far as the boys who run America’s most exclusive international academy are concerned, I’m an unwelcome interloper, an inconvenience, and they’re determined to make my life a living hell.

When Wren Jacobi sets eyes on Wolf Hall Academy’s newest inductee, all he sees is an easy mark. A reserved little girl with a target painted on her back. He knows nothing of my troubled past, though. Nothing of my mother’s suspicious death or the horrific treatment I’ve had to endure at the hands of my psychotic father. And he has no idea of the lengths that I, unassuming little Elodie Stillwater, will go to in order to break the savage beast who dreams of breaking me first. 

There’s a wolf stalking the forests that surround my new school. Little does he know, there are far scarier predators lurking out there in the dark.

From a USA Today best-selling author comes a new, dark, and delicious world, where even the most corrupt of hearts has a chance at redemption. This book contains content that may be considered a trigger for some listeners and as such is recommended for adults.

5*

This was a great book. The story line kept me interested in what was going to happen next. Oh Btw I don’t know who that guy on the cover of the book is, But he is hot!

Dark and Entertaining

I loved how this story kept you on the edge of your seat wanting more. The dark lure of Wren, which who doesn't love a bad boy. Along with Elodie's no BS attitude through out the book was refreshing. I loved the narration even though I wished they would have allowed the male narrator to talk for Wren more vs the female narrator. I was nice to hear his voice pop in along with the female narrators voice. The narration throughout really helped bring the book alive. Would love to hear or read more about Riot House.

Great characters, and story

This story is anything but simple, and I listened to the audio straight through. That's a long time, however quite worth it.

love love love this book

I absolutely loved the narrators
I needed a good book and this was just that!!!!!
definity recommend

Wren who?

Love the story line. It kept me on my toes. I must admit the ending was swift but I can appreciate their are upcoming novels over Dash and Pax. Callie Hart did a great job, per usual, telling modern stories with a dark twist.

Great potential, ruined by female narrator.

The story line of the book was entertaining and even engaging for a YA story. It held my attention, although I could put it down and start up when it was convenient. The female narration could almost ruin it for you. Her voice is rough for a high school girl and her male impersonation is worse. I almost returned just because of the poor narration. The male performance was strong, and good. Callie Hart is a good, strong writer which is why I didn't completely zero out the star ratings.

Narration was amazing

I really enjoyed the narration. The only thing I did not like was the ending. I felt it was rushed towards the end. I noticed the second book is about Dash, so this means it will have so many unanswered questions.

Enjoyed

I really enjoyed the story. Narrators did an amazing job. Ending was kind of abrupt, and I was surprised there wasnt some kind of epilgoue. Still plan on checking out the next book in series.

Riot House

Riot house was a short in the Bully Me anthology. I decided to wait for the whole book so I could read it all at once. I'm not a huge fan of cliff hangers.

This book is told from duel point of view which I really like. I like knowing what both characters are thinking and feeling.

The minute I started reading Riot House I was reeled in from the very beginning. I didn't want to put it down. This book features Wren and Elodie. Elodie is sent to Wolf Hall in America away from her father. He is in the military and is very strict. Wren has been at Wolf Hall all his life and decided to make Elodie's life miserable.

Elodie has dealt with a lot growing up, and she's not going to let Wren and his friends take her down. Her father taught her out to defend herself and she uses it to her advantage.

I love how their secrets came out and they were both able to develop through the book. We learn a lot about the backgrounds and pasts of both of these characters. I was not ready for this book to end and I'm very excited for Pax and Dash's story!

I loved the narration of this audio book!

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

This book is everything.

The narrating is spot on!

5 black heart stars are not enough!!! Gah Callie writes the best dark romance. Elodie’s character is so strong and well written I love her so hard. Wren is deliciously depraved. He’s an a@@ but totally redeems himself.

Intense and compelling!

This was a fantastic read and this audio does it complete justice. Both CJ Mission and Jillian Macie are excellent, their performances convincing, varied and of fantastic quality. I loved it! 💖💖💖💖💖
