He was my best friend before he was my enemy.

I’m a nobody at Black Falls High.

When the school’s mean queen forces me to my knees in front of the student body, everything changes.

Now, I’m back on my former best friend’s radar.

And this time, he has his new crew and “no” isn’t part of their vocabulary.

When a night out puts me in a compromising position, I’m at their mercy. If they don’t keep my secret, it could destroy more than my friendship.

They own me.

And my former best friend is making it his mission to ruin me.

But not if I ruin them first.

In Ruins is a #whychoose romance with four hot-as-fire guys. Due to dark content, this audiobook is recommended for 18 and older.

Whoa! I was skeptical about this being a high school book but I went through the whole story in one sitting! It gripped me literally from the first chapter and never let up. It keeps leaving you wondering what is going to happen, and you know its going to be bad but you aren't sure how its going to play out exactly. There was of course all the high school themes- mean girl and her crew, jocks, and other stereotypes. But it was done in a way that didn't feel like I was reading about immature people. I disliked alot of characters, but that angst kept me going. There is alot of talk of sex but there isn't alot of it in this book, I'm sure the RH stuff will come. I'm looking forward to jumping right into book 2, and then I know anxiously waiting until book 3 comes out. I cant wait to see some groveling :)

better than anticipated

At first I really wasn’t into the story. The MC was whiny but I figured out that it was the narrator portraying her like that. After I got pst that the story line picked up and the MC became spunkier. Interested to see what happens in book two!

Intrigued

Such an excellent enemies to lovers story delivery intrigue, angst, and love's first tumultuous feelings. A reverse harem romance told from the point of view of the heroine, Rosie, as she discovers love with three heroes, one of whom was her childhood friend. But expect the unexpected in this story; there are familial boundaries, mean girls, and distrust that darken in her path. Absolutely captivating story that could not stop listening to.

While I prefer duet narration, this book didn't necessarily require it since it was written from one point of view even though there was a great deal of dialogue from male characters. My only quip was the voice actress maintained the same voice for each female character and equally each male character. While narrative was good, range was limited. Overall, I still enjoyed the voice acting, and it did bring the story to life.

So good!

Sara Puckett is an amazing narrator. She brings such life and emotions to the characters. Definitely one of my favorite narrators. This book is different from what I normally read or listen to. It pulled me in fast and I did not want to stop listening. It is an intriguing story. I am constantly waiting for something to go wrong and then it does just not what i was expecting. I definitely have mixed feeling about the guys. At times I do not like any of them and at other times I did. I can't figure them out and feel Rosie's turmoil. Fox and Rosie were so close as kids and then nothing. That ending, I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.

Intriguing story

Wow, this is a dark and twisted bully romance, it is high in angst and it got under my skin at times but I found the story so mesmerizing that I could not put the book down. K.G. Reuss is a gifted author, I enjoyed her writing style, she created interesting and complex characters and storylines. Fox and Rosie lived next door to each other since they were kids, they were best of friends, until Fox abruptly ended their friendship. They both attend the same H.S. Fox is one of the most popular, he and his friends, Cole, Enzo and Ethan practically rule the school. Rosie was not part of the “in” crowd, she blended into the background. But somehow she finds herself falling on radar of the most popular kids in school, first the mean girls lead by Juliet go after her. Then her torment is brought up to another level when Fox and his cronies choose her for their next conquest. The author does an amazing job building up the characters and their relationships, including Fox and his friends. She gives you enough details for the moment but holds back enough making you want to know more and wonder what the deal with them, as well as with Fox. Rosie is the only one we really get to know, I was rooting for her the entire book and was happy to see her grow as a person. This is a great reverse harem bully romance, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, heartfelt and emotional moments, some thrilling ones too and sexual tension that is through roof. This book may take you out of your comfort zone at times but stick with it because it is so worth it. K.G. Reuss, thank you for this awesome book and for the emotional rollercoaster ride. I loved the ending and am looking forward to what comes next in this series, I hope it comes out on audio soon.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Sarah Puckett is a talented narrator and versatile voice artist. She covers the roles for all the characters, gives each their own distinct voice which makes it easy to follow along and tell who is who. Her portrayal of the characters is spot on, she grasps their personality as well as their attitude, making them sound just as I am picturing them to sound. You could hear how much heart she puts into her work as she captures the characters emotions and projects them into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

Awesome Story & Narration🎧 Captivating & Intense!

Ok I have read a lot of HR books and this one is at the top of my list.

This story once you are done with all 4 books has so much character growth and detail that I feel in love with them. And I can’t wait to see what the horseman get up to next!!!

K G Reuss is a wonderful author. I have read everything by her that I can get my hands on. She does write a little dark. So if you don’t like being in the dark her books might not be for you. IMO! So go to her website and look at her trigger warnings before starting a series.

Just remember that if you can handle the dark come on over we have cookies!!!

One of my favorite stories ever!!!!!!!!!
