Book Review: Pretty Vicious

 

Laurel just wanted to survive college, keep her father fed, and fly under the radar.

Delivering pizzas was supposed to be the safe kind of side hustle, until the night she witnesses a murder at Ashford House, the most elite and secretive fraternity on campus.

Now she’s a prisoner of The Order, a blood-bound society that controls everything from politics to police. They rule with ritual, obedience, and violence, and they’ve decided Laurel doesn’t get to leave.

At the center of it all is Carrson Ashford, heir to the powerful Ashford legacy.
Cold. Commanding. Infuriatingly magnetic.
Under the rules of The Order, he “bonds” her, marking Laurel as his.

Body. Mind. Soul.

But Laurel isn’t here to be claimed. Not without a fight.
To save her father and her future, Laurel must navigate a twisted realm of initiation rites, brutal secrets, and a bond that may destroy them both.

In this world, there’s one rule: obey or die.

But love doesn’t follow rules. And neither does Laurel.

★ Dark academia meets Southern Gothic in this emotionally intense, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, morally gray, twisted college romance filled with secrets, violence, and impossible love. Perfect for fans of Penelope Douglas, LJ Shen, Shantel Tessier, and Sierra Simone.


My Review
Laurel finds herself in a wrong time and place situation. She is lucky that Carrson claims her as his own. Although, in the beginning it may not seem like Laurel is lucky. Laurel is one feisty FMC. I love that she did not back down considering the situation that she found herself in.

I found the history of Carrson very intriguing. His father is horrible. Thank goodness that Carrson is not like his father.

Do you need this book. This is a rhetorical question. Of course, you NEED this book! Once you start reading it, you will be hooked. This book is one wild ride. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Um, can we take a moment to talk about the ending. Lexi, what are you doing to me. I need book two ASAP.
