⠀
Here’s the 411 about high school—well, at least for my high school, Clintwood Academy.⠀
⠀
💋It’s a fucking warzone.⠀
💋Everyone has a grudge against someone else. ⠀
💋It’s the breeding ground for losers, jealous broken-hearted girls, and acne covered fools with zero game.⠀
💋The disgustingly rich kids are vile, vindictive, popular, and the mecca of a social life worth a damn.⠀
💋Lastly, high school is simply survival of the fittest.⠀
⠀
And I was the fittest of them all. Once.⠀
⠀
Once, before I set up to take the fall for an attempted murder of one of the Fitz brothers, the golden boys of St. Jude High, our sworn rival enemy.⠀
⠀
Before I was played for a kiss and it worked. ⠀
⠀
Now, the Fitz brothers hate me.⠀
They suspect me.⠀
They want to destroy me.⠀
They know everything about me, and I hate them for it.⠀
⠀
And now, we’ll all be living together, like one big, happy step-family. With secrets brimming, hatred festering, and other feelings I have no business having for my step-cousin-brothers or whatever, haunting me night and day.⠀
⠀
Now, let’s kiss and be forever rivals…

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS

'Devious Kisses' is the first book of the 'It's just high school' series. This book is a cliffhanger and was all the flavours of heartbreaking and hot!! It is spoken in dual perspectives.

The way this author writes , I don't really know how to spell it out but she just twits me so much with her words that I feel every emotion with her characters and just get attached to them so deeply! The same was the case in Mia and Julian's story! I had been waiting for this story for such a long time and the wait was absolutely worth it, this book was the bomb!

Mia and Julian were one of the hottest couples I have ever encountered! Their chemistry was off the charts and the way they both gravitated towards each other despite the hate they had for each other was so freaking hot to witness! They both had a rough start , specially with Mia accidentally leaking some private information of Julian's to the media. From that moment Julian decided to destroy her.

The way they both fought was so marvelous. Mia wasn't the usual meek and shy girl, she fought back twice as hard making Julian confused and turned on simultaneously! I thought this book was going to be a Standalone, but the author announced at the last moment that there was going to be another book! Now I don't know whether to angry or happy. Angry because I can't wait for the next book! And happy because it is amazing that we get to see more of these characters!!! I'll definitely go with happy💗💗

This book is recommended to all the dark Romance lovers who are obsessed with themes like hate love and revenge!! This book is a must read for those!
