“What a Book!!! So many questions still to answer and I CAN’T wait for more.” ★★★★★ LoverOfBooks80
“Every turn of the page had me asking , “ what’s going to happen next “. Such a great read.” ★★★★★ Angela
I should have known that this was coming…I’d done the right things, chosen the right friends, kept my grades up, primped and primed and smiled when I was supposed to, and then I escaped the clutches of the man they’d chosen for me. What. An. Idiot.
Or not, I suppose.
If I spend the year at Pendleton Prep, I can go back on my merry way. The problem is that life here is not exactly what I expected.
I’m not just another student, here to serve her time and get out. Oh no, that would never do. I’ve been wrapped up and served on a platter for the Devils of Pendleton Prep.
They’re hot, stupidly hot, and involved in something I want nothing to do with.
More than one of them has her set in their sights, but she's already entangled in the world of the elite, they just don’t realise it yet. Where nine begin, only three will end... how far will they go to secure their place?

I am livid right now - Not that this ends on a serious WTEverLovinHades cliffy moment - But because of who is spotlighted in that WTEverLovinHades cliffy moment and who I think might have set her up
This leaves me wondering if I pegged everyone wrong
Could those closest to her actually be in on it?
Dear ol' Dad has some explaining to do as well as a few others that she should have been able to trust - That is if the events leading up to this final scene mean anything or the author is trying to throw me off again
But then this whole story has had me running this way and that
This first book sets the tone for the series
It's a secret society - a private college - a place where parents are willing to sacrifice their daughters as future Angels in the hopes they will be educated to complement a chosen Devil
Though not every Angel wants to be arm candy and not every Devil wants to choose an Angel
Can't get to the top without making sacrifices
We meet some of the key players
The men who will battle for the coveted position as a Devil - only 3 positions available
And the women who were chosen to be their Angel
We also briefly meet past initiates and those pulling the strings
As well as characters who may play much bigger roles as the story progresses
The plans are laid out only we are as blind to the end game as the players
We are teased with possible outcomes
We get to witness the desires, the jealousy, the smexy and steamy
Packer creates a sense of suspense and danger that is almost constant throughout the story. I was never quite sure what was going to happen next. The characters were well-developed, I couldn't help but root for Ivy as she tries to navigate her way through the deceptions and misdirections.
I need to know who threw the last punch
Was a certain someone(s) aware of how the night would end?
No way he would do that
I don't know who to believe I just know you better not hurt Ivy
A solid start that left me in desperate need of book two!!
H.L Packer is, quite frankly, a busy bee.
An avid reader as a child, her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave, her husband purchased her an e-reader, and that obsession was rekindled.
Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and had the opportunity to include her own words and worlds, the characters began talking.
Those cheeky characters quickly found themselves written down on the page, and her first series was in progress.
When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her running around after her free-spirited three children, and husband, or tending to the dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also reside with them.
A break can be found soaking in a bubble bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.
