They the Pretty Stars

Court High, Book 1

De: Eden O'Neill

Narrado por: Kasi Hollowell

In Maywood Heights, stars burn bright. They fall even harder.

They call them the Court, an elite boys club who rule Windsor Preparatory Academy like gods among men. And, of course, they're led by Hercules himself.

Royal Prinze - yes, that's actually his name - walks around both the school and the town like he owns them. His affiliation to the prestigious Court only gives him more clout. These boys do anything they want. They take anything they want, and they f--k anything they want...in that order.

Then there's me.

I came to Maywood Heights to live with my virtually indifferent father because my sister went AWOL. She chose to stay with him after our parents' divorce when we were kids, and I haven't seen or heard from her since summer began. The last thing I imagined when enrolling at her school was that she'd be connected to a group like the Court and boys like Royal. She's nothing like them and so much better than Royal and his elitist attitude.

So, why then are they saying he's her best friend?

Warning: This enemies-to-lovers high-school romance contains some dark themes and light bullying. The book is not a stand-alone and is book one in a four-part series of full-length novels. Royal Prinze is the only hero of this tale...good luck getting him to share.

Great listening experience ☺️

Great narrator voice that matches the character she's portraying perfectly. perfect tone and rhythm while she's reading too so I didn't find myself droning out from my ADHD attention loss. amazing first book in the series-- which let's be honest, the first book rarely IS good for any series. A bit of mystery mixed with some romance, heirarchy and all manly hotness rolled into one. ugh I loved it.... and the puppy?! She's my favorite character 😉. Dog mom here!

Exciting High School Drama

I received this audobook free for an honest review, as a member of the Pink Flamingo Productions Review Team. First, this is a cliffhanger. Second, it is an excellent story about unusual high school drama. At least from my optic, it is unusual. The poor girl goes to a rich school and is partly an outcast. But because of her missing sister's relationship with the "Court", she is sometimes accepted by the cool kids and sometimes not. Her relationship with the head of the Court, Royal, is tumultuous. However, the secret of her sister's disappearance is the overall mystery of this story. And the relationship between December and Royal is the romance mystery. The author does an excellent job of building the story and making it suspenseful. The narrator did an awesome job with the characters and their personalities.

Enjoyable narration. good storyline

Some frustrating moments where you just want to shake some sense into the main character but otherwise a good storyline.. Good narration too, it’s not easy for one narrator to do the male and female voices that doesn’t make you cringe.

Average

Book 1 wasn't super excited but good enough to try book 2. Narrator was good

More than just a YA story
