RIOT HOUSE by Callie Hart
Release Date: April 29th   
    

  AVAILABLE NOW!!! 


  

  Blurb:
They might be richer than gods, but they’re morally bankrupt. As far as the boys who run America’s most exclusive international academy are concerned, I’m an unwelcome interloper, an inconvenience, and they’re determined to make my life a living hell. When Wren Jacobi sets eyes on Wolf Hall Academy’s newest inductee, all he sees is an easy mark. A reserved little girl with a target painted on her back. He knows nothing of my troubled past, though. Nothing of my mother’s suspicious death, or the horrific treatment I’ve had to endure at the hands of my psychotic father. And he has no idea of the lengths that I, unassuming little Elodie Stillwater, will go to in order to break the savage beast who dreams of breaking me first. There’s a wolf stalking the forests that surround my new school. Little does he know… There are far scarier predators lurking out there in the dark.        

  About the Author:
Callie Hart is a USA TODAY bestselling author of contemporary and dark romance. Her Blood & Roses Series is currently being translated into multiple languages all over the world. Having spent the last seven years living in Australia, Callie now calls Los Angeles home, where she enjoys hiking, spending time at the beach, daily hot yoga classes, and generally pretending to be a hipster. Callie is often asked, 'What is dark romance?' Her reply is always the same: Dark romance is a story that makes you fall for the anti-hero. It is a story that will make you walk a tightrope, question your sanity, and have you checking your moral compass at the door. If you love a good story about a very bad boy, then dark romance is for you.' Under her legal name, Frankie Rose, Callie writes young adult fiction that has been globally recognized, and has received numerous awards for her 'Halo' series.

First things first - the cover is sooooooo hot!🔥
That pulled me to it and then the Blurb. Callie's books teeter on the thin Gray line generally. A risqué author who pushes readers to go a step further into the darkness very skillfully. This book centers around the dreaded Wolf Hall Academy! 

description

"This place isn’t a regular school for regular kids. It’s a jail cell dressed up as a place of learning, where army officers who can’t be bothered dealing with their own kids dump them without a second thought, knowing that they’ll be watched over with a military-like focus. Wolf Hall." 
Imposing, cryptic and treacherous, the Academy and the building itself hides dark secrets and monsters in its shadowed halls and dark a coves. It's where Wren Jacobi rules with his posse of Pax and Dashiell

description

“Riot House boy?”
“Those three idiots have a house halfway down the mountain. They call it Riot House."
 

Here students are left by their military parents, forgotten and existing blindly. And in stumbles Elodie Stillwater, virtually banished by her father- Colonel Stillwater
The story centers around these young people trying to ward off danger from all sides. It's maze like plot springs new surprises every now and then. Villains and heroes are often mislabelled. Scathing dialogues showcase the cruelty of the the Wolf - Pack and why they got shaped this way.
The pace is a it slow in the first half but picks up speed around 60%.
Wren entices and lures Elodie in his web and it's a game of cat & mouse from then on.

"The old adage is true: it’s impossible to look away from a car crash. And I already know that Wren Jacobi isn’t just a metaphorical car crash. He’s a fifteen-car pile-up, and there are already people dead at the scene. I’m headed straight for him, though, and I can’t steer myself away. Worst of all, I’m not wearing a seatbelt, and motherfucker’s cut my brake lines." 
Their relationship precarious and perilous...but it also catches the attention of a predator hidden in plain sight, ready to pounce on them.

The Explosive secret had me gasping in horror and disbelief. Callie is going there folks!!!
Fasten your seatbelt cause the ride is bumpy and scary, diving headlong into a dark cavern.
4 stars for Black Feathers
