Publisher's summary

In Saint Gabriel City, there are the Four Families, and there are those who are owned by them.

The Spencers, the Hargraves, the Ferreros, and the Knights rule the City together with their exorbitant wealth and iron fists that no one dare challenge.

Each Family has an Heir, and they are raised together to one day assume control of their respective empires, trained to crush anyone who stands in their way under the heel of their unmeasurable power.

At least, there were Four Families, and there were four Heirs—until three of the Families banded together to murder the Knights in cold blood one fateful summer night.

Their daughter was only 11 years old.

And the other Heirs—three sons—were only 12 as they watched their best friend die on the floor of a soulless beige conference room next to her parents.

Seven years later, the remaining Heirs have taken their place at the ultra-exclusive Holywell Academy where the City’s elite strive to earn a coveted place in the Families’ kingdom by rubbing elbows with the exalted sons.

Only what Bennett Spencer, Noah Hargraves, and Zach Ferrero don’t know—what the Families have failed to realize after all these years—is that Jolie Knight didn’t die that night.

That little girl has been hiding just across the river, right under their noses.

That little girl is all grown up, and now she’s the Academy’s newest scholarship student.

That little girl is me, and I’m going to burn this City to the ground.

This is a New Adult, college-aged dark academy romance. It is the first book in a trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger. Our heroine will have multiple love interests, and she will have a HEA with all of them at the end of the series. As always, this series is for the 18+ crowd and contains a whole boatload of foul language, very steamy scenes, and violent themes. If that sounds like your kind of adventure, then come on in.

Wow! My new favorite Author and Series!

there are only two other authors I love as much, and with over 450 audio books in my library, Elizabeth Dear had joined a very small Fav List. Loved this MC, so strong and smart. The story was well paced, well written, had my heart pumping crazily several times! already started on book 2!👏🙌🫶

Great start to a series

Narrators are amazing

What a ride!

Finally a book where the tuff heroine is tuff and kicks but. I can’t wait to see what Jojo does next!

Awesome!!

It's been a long time since I've really been into a series. I love this! Listen to it NOW..... you won't regret it!

Amazing

What an incredible start to a series! Interesting and relatable characters and a very strong independent female lead which is very hard to find, except not here or in Elizabeth’s other book Mave Fortune. Moving on to book two.

Even better in audio!

I loved this book when it was first released as an ebook, it is even better now that it is available in audio. I loved the way Stephanie Kay portrayed Jolie and the few chapters we had read by the male narrator Gregory Salinas.

Well worth the credit if you have read the book prior and are looking for a re-read experience, as well as for those new to the story.

Wow

I honestly don't think the blurb does this book any justice because I actually put this off for awhile since the blurb just didn't interest me very much.

I swear there is just something about a bad@ss FMC out for revenge. Not once did the author go back and forth with her personality and I soooo appreciate that. This book had me hooked from the start.

I did find it hard to believe the guys who were supposedly her best friends at one point didn't recognize her because she only changed her hair and eye color but it's still a 5 star read. I'm really looking forward to seeing how their story plays out.

I absolutely love this series

this series is one of my top reads of 2023! I have my full review on Goodreads but I will say if you love a strong fmc who is out for revenge this book definitely checks all the boxes. Sometimes when I fall in love with a series the audiobooks don't always live up to the book but this definitely did Stefanie Kay and Gregory Salinas did an amazing job! I can't wait for book 2 to come out!
