Here Lies a Saint: A Dark Bully Academy Romance Kindle Edition

Being rich is great until you become the saint of Arcadia.

Gentleman.
Charmer.
All-star.

They call me a saint, but if they knew the lies, the fallacies, and what truths I hide, I’d be labeled a proclaimed sinner.
I lie, do all the bad deeds, especially if it does right by her.

She’s the darkness but also the light.
He’s my downfall but also my redemption.
Two opposites, but somehow everything I’ve fought for.

Earning her, saving him, it’s all I can think of.

Saint or sinner, I’ll win her.
Death or life, I’ll protect him.
Truth or lie, I’ll save them.

Arcadia isn’t prepared for the war its wrought.
Good thing I’m a fighter.
No one said I’d bow down to an unworthy king.

Book two in a great twisting plot; however, some of the editing and formating really pulls you out of the story. It'll be interesting to see how some of these characters can possibly find redemption.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense and Wild Ride
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2020

I foolishly believed Here Lives a Corpse was just the riveting introduction to this series but then along came Here Lies a Saint to continue the wild ride this motley crew's determined to take me on.

Intense, steamy and brimming with secrets upon secrets these amazing characters kept my head spinning constantly. I loved that these characters are constantly changing my mind and making me fall even more for all of them. I must admit a certain guy took me a bit by surprise by the lengths he'd go to protect those he loved. The emotion woven througout this book kept my heart in a constant vice grip while the heat this group generated practically singed my fingers.

With so many twists, turns and secrets coming to light Colt and her guys pulled me further into their web and have left me rather impatiently waiting for the next book. The first book in this series captivated me but Here Lies a Saint completely left me speechless and tied up in knots wondering what's next.

From the very beginning I was dying. Cassidy’s prologue and first chapter, I couldn’t breathe. This book tore me up in all the best ways. There are still so many secrets! This book is so entwined with surreptitious plots that it’s hard to say anything without giving things away to new readers.

What I can say, is that I am obsessed with this story and world that the author has created. I want to know who Colt is and why all these things have happened to her. I may want her memories back more than she does, in fact I’m pretty certain that I do. The Emeralds Vestige has been around far longer than Colt, but it seems as if everything leads back to her. Colt is still a force to be reckoned with and just as fierce as she was in Corpse, even with the numbing. You do find out answers to some questions you would have had after book one (not going to spoil it, but it is so hard)! But let me tell you, this book may reveal some but it makes you question more than I ever thought possible.

Bridge, Pru, Just, Lux, Ten, Ross, and Jordan all seem to have Colt’s best interest in mind, even if they all go about it the wrong way. Her relationships with her seven guys is more tempestuous than ever with all of the secrets that apparently everyone has. There are a lot of MM scenes, and they are seriously steamy! 🔥🔥🔥 I’m diving into Here Loves a Sociopath now, and I’m so excited!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020
I read book one and felt it was a bit of a mess, but I was intrigued enough by the idea of a secret society to continue on to to book 2.

*may be spoiler-y*
I found this story, with all 800 of its subplots to be a little overwhelming. Ideas aren’t introduced slowly and built upon, but rather random facts are just thrust onto readers without any back story. For example: Colton’s memory loss. We go a book and a half thinking everything is fine and dandy, then all of a sudden someone casually mentions Colt has lost her memory. After that it’s mentioned like 5 more times and becomes a huge part of the plot. I’m confused why this never came up before considering we had chapters from the boys POV. I can’t tell if the author just randomly added this, or what.

I also feel that this series is really struggling to be an RH. It honestly feels like Lux or Jordan are building themselves a harem of men who like men, rather than Colton having a harem of men interested in her. This book had more steamy scenes with just men than steamy scenes involving Colton, who is supposedly our main character.

Lastly, the plot barely moves past the last book in my opinion. So much of the book is sex and sexual tension that the plot, and the secret society really take a back burner and progress at an absolutely glacial pace. At this rate, the series will need to be at least 8 books before a harem is formed and the main plot points are resolved.

I can’t decide if I will read the next book, because the series seems like it’s a bit of a mess.

I'm speechless!!!! I thought the first book in this here lies series was out of this world but book two has just knocked the wind right out of me!!!!

I have even more questions now after reading this book, yeah we get some answers but boy we get a lot more thrown our way. We focus on the society more in this one, the school and bloodlines that are involved in it. We don't just get Colton's POV in this book we get Jordan and Lux too, and wow I think I've fallen in love with both those guys!!!! The sex between all the characters is always on fire but between Jordan and Lux wow wee!!!!!!! You get a lot of MM scenes in this book and ooft they are sexy as hell. All the male guys even down to the twins had me fanning myself a fair few times lol so Dominant I love it!!!!!

Colton is getting closer to finding answers about her brother's death, and after that ending in the first book, she's also out to get them for her best friend's death too!!! You find a lot of the new characters you think are there to help well they become enemies and vise versa, and again this book leaves us on a HUGH cliffhanger!!!!! I cannot wait to read more in this series!!!!!!
