This book is part of a four-book series surrounding Madison Kate Danvers. MK and her friend Bree snuck away from a party on Halloween night to watch an underground fight. A fight broke out between rival gangs and pandemonium ensued. Madison and Bree were separated and Mk found herself with three guys that seemingly wanted to help her out. One offered her his hoodie, the other said someone would pick her up soon and all three took off. The police arrived and found a key to the locked-down fairground where this fight was supposed to take place. Her father, wanting to set an example about holding everyone accountable for their actions, left her in jail for three months even though everyone knew she was innocent. Her father had political and other aspirations. After three months she was released but sent to her aunt in Cambodia for a year. Her aunt passed away and she found herself back home with the three guys who she thought had set her up. All the ways she had learned to calm herself with her aunt flew out the door as her dad was now engaged to one of the guys' mothers. This story has several tropes such as enemies to lovers love to hate, why choose, reverse harem (kinda) in this one, politics, rich and the poor. And many others I’m forgetting. It's also important that you search all trigger warnings in the book because it might have a few.
Our main character Madison acts like a new adult/ college age which she is.
Let me just list things about her.
She’s arrogant
Resentful
Vengeful
Pulls good and bad pranks
Maintains that she can give as good as she gets
Struggles creatively
Has a silly rich best friend
She came across annoying people at times.
The three main guys are:
Max Steele who we find out has gray eyes. He seems the most focused on the past.
Kodiak (Kody) who is the joker or good guy of the group.
And the Archer who is the most guarded and leader of the other two.
In the year Madison Kate was away, a brand new university called Shadow Grove University was built. As a way to close the divide in their small town. Additionally, Madison Kate's father was able to convince people to come to the college rather than to IVY league schools, which is an extremely difficult task.
Also at this school, no cell phones are allowed. There's something strange about this school.
In the process of building some sort of friendship between the guys and Madison Kate, a stalker gets thrown into the mix and everything just goes haywire. I won’t give anything else away. Four shiny stars are my rating for this book.
