Dark Ties: A Dark High School Romance (Broken Saints Society 1) Kindle Edition
He calls us his broken saints.
And that's what I am...or was. Broken. Until Gage Astor stole my heart and introduced me to a whole new seductive world--one with secrets and intrigue and money.
So much money. Money buys everything, even your reputation at Brighton Saints Academy, an exclusive high school for the elite.
I'm Remi St. James, and I'm new money. I don't belong here, but the Broken Saints accepted me, molded me, shaped me into a stunning creature that slays life.
Enter Sawyer, Palmer, Rush, and Emry. The secret society amid Brighton Saints. The most beautiful and powerful. The only thing more valuable to them than money is secrets.
And oh, Brighton Saints is full of secrets.
We all have secrets...
After I'm initiated into the Broken Saints, that's when the fun (and fear) really begins. I see things and hear things and do things no high school girl should ever be subjected to. And they make me believe it's all my idea...
I'm a toy to them. It's all a twisted game, and I don't even know if I want it to stop... I'm in too deep now. There might not be any hope. Gage is a god here; he won't let me leave his society. When he says you're his, you belong to him. Body, mind, and soul.
Just like all of his Broken Saints.
So I have to play their game. For now. I have to find a way out...before I lose myself to them completely.
*This is the first book in the Broken Saints Society series. A dark high school romance.

I loved this book and its twisted tale. I have so many questions, I hope book 2 answers these. There are a few spelling mistakes, but not enough to deter you from this dark romance.

So ... I wouldn't say the description really gives you an accurate depiction on this book or the sequel. I don't want to give too much away, but in order to make a decision on whether this is a book you want to read, let me tell you what it isn't, at least what it isn't by the end of book 2. This is not a romance. It is not a bully romance. Nor is it a story between 2 characters.
The description makes it seem like Remi is the main female character in both books 1 & 2, but there are 3 perspectives in this story, Gage, Remi and Sawyer (who is also a girl). I would say for the first 1.5 books of this series, Sawyer is the more complex and interesting character, with Remi being kind of sweet, gullible and easily manipulated.
If I was going to compare this story to another, it bears similarities to the movie Cruel Intentions, except the "step sister" isn't evil, but nor is she particularly good. Oh and they lead a secret sex society. This is revealed right at the beginning so it's not really a spoiler.
If you think Gage is going to meet Remi and instantly fall in love with her and over the course of this book and then the next work towards being redeemed, this is not that book. Book 3 could change that dynamic, it remains to be seen. What I can say is there's lots happening in the background and everyone has secrets.

This was certainly an interesting story.
Not what I was expecting but this book was still filled with intrigue, secrets and conspiracies.
The main character is kind of hard to discern as it follows the story of the Broken Saints Society. The main three characters, Cage, Sawyer and Remi are all really different from the norm. Cage is really just wanting love, the kind without conditions but he also has his secrets, agendas and schemes. Sawyer is another elite who kinda despises men, except for what that can do in the bedroom; she uses sex as a weapon and will not let anyone have power over her. Her and Cage have a very twisted and toxic relationship but we don't really see anything eventuating but the games they play.
Then there is Remi, she is the play toy that Cage has picked out to be the newest member of the society. She is kinda naive but she also knows what's she is doing and because she wants to escape her own life, she just let's herself be played with and drowns in the society's games.
There isn't a definitive storyline or plot, so I'm not sure how the second book will go. I'm not completely enraptured by this book, but it's was an okay read.

This is a very twisty, secretive and dark book, and not for those who want a HEA! Sorry, I'm a sucker for them too but nope, you will be disappointed.
What you will love is the seductive nature of these young adults who manipulate and control the school around them, and dance around each other with games and pretty words that hide a dark soul. I am hoping that Remi gets the guy she wants, and Sawyer too, but I really don't know where this is going to go!
I am so excited for book two!!

Wowzer! This book is not for the faint of heart that want a sweet romance or a love conquerors all story. If you're a fan of the movie cruel intentions then this is its hot and heavy sister.
Writing wise it's a good first book with a few errors that are easily overlooked and don't detract from the story much. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Dirty Ties is a Dark, Twisted, and Sexy Stunner!!!!
Check your morals at the door and toss your judgments in the trash bin.....either will just get in the way while reading this story.
The halls of Brighton Saints Academy are ruled by an elite group of teens with lethal amounts of money, intelligence and sex appeal. These teens are the elite of the elite, ruthless, manipulative and on fast track to a high powered life of luxury and sin. High school can be a treacherous and difficult place for any normal teen to navigate but the Broken Saints up that ante to catastrophic levels. When the stakes are this high and the rules mean nothing, the games can get….deadly.
There are no holds barred in Dark Ties. It’s sex fueled, intense, and twisty ride from the first word to the last. I never knew just who was playing who or what exactly the end game would be but I couldn’t help but enjoy watching these master manipulators play their devious games.
Dark Ties was a guilty pleasure for me and I couldn’t be happier with where it ended up. Bring on the next in this scorching series!

Well oh my gosh this extremely dark with an undercurrent of mystery and suspense. This story is like addiction so worry but have to keep reading. It’s also extremely sexual and naughty, but this is just another Element comment on their uniform already

It’s a god idea with a good writing. The characters were pretty well rounded and in depth, at least sawyer, gage, and remi. I didn’t feel like I got a good idea of the other three as much. I also didn’t get a good feel of the world they live in. There was little interaction with anyone outside of the group and the story teased at darker themes without actually going to anything dark, twisty, or taboo. They are supposedly a secret society that runs the schools and one day wants to run the town... but all I saw them have any control over was sex... with each other. And, if they have to give their bodies to someone in the group to join, and sawyer and gage were the first to join, wouldn’t that then mean they should have given themselves to each other at the creation of the group? So... how have they not had sex with one another? It just made it seem like the rules were made up just for Remi.
I will read the next book because it’s an interesting concept. I hope it get a little more dark and complicated and that the members of the bss start to work together towards any common goal. I hope to get more connectivity to rush and the others and see the groups dynamics in conjunction with outsiders.
