Thanks, @devneyperry for the gifted copies!

One manor. A prestigious university. A conniving Queen Bee. An Ice Princess. A poor girl escaping her past. 

All of them living together under one roof: Clarence Manor, where Ivy rules as an evil queen while hiding a world of pain. Elora, her best friend, so broken. Everything she believed to be true is a lie. Cassia, the odd one out, the girl who drives a beat up old car and has no idea how she managed to rent a room at the manor. 

It’s their senior year and as the months pass, the three of them find solace in the most unexpected men: Ivy with her brother’s best friend, Elora with Ivy’s older brother and Cassia with Ivy’s twin. 

And all the secrets and the lies keep surfacing, even with them doing their best to keep them hidden. 

Oh boy! What a messy mess but what fun to follow all the machinations, the lies, the betrayals… This is the kind of book that you can’t talk much about because you’ll be gasping with each secret revealed. And, wow, there are plenty!

The audiobook is narrated in duet style by Samantha Brentmoor, Vanessa Edwin and Megan Wicks as the girls and Robert Hatchet. Told from the girls POVs, you get phenomenal performances by all. Samantha will initially drive you up the wall, giving you an obnoxious, conniving, bitchy Ivy while little by little peeling away those layers to show you an extremely hurt and broken and vulnerable person who only knows to lash out. Megan is absolute perfection as the ‘icy’ Elora who’s guarded and who is living with the weight of enormous secrets and who is completely in love with a man she believes she can’t have. Vanessa, with her soft dulcet tone, embodies the ‘fish out of water’ Cassia, who won’t let anyone break her again. These ladies have as their partner the multi-talented Robert, who gives us Tate, Zain and Edwin (as well as all the other male voices) with very distinct performances. Bravissimo to all!

What you get: an ‘Ivy League’ school full of billionaires, three women with unbearable secrets, three men who will become their rock and their safe haven, ‘trials’, night clubs, study groups, horrible accidents, truths and secrets revealed and hard earned HEAs.

Devney Perry never misses!
