Publisher's summary

In Saint Gabriel City, there’s a war brewing.

The Four Families have ruled the city for generations, but they made a huge fucking mistake when they murdered my parents and didn’t manage to kill me too.

I’ve revealed my true identity, taking the city and Holywell Academy by storm, but the heads of Spencer, Hargraves, and Ferrero continue to underestimate me. They think I’m an annoying little gnat trying to play at being an Heir, and that will make it all the sweeter when I take everything from them.

But their sons—the boys who were my best friends for 11 years—they have different ideas about me than their parents do.

Zach wants me back—and maybe just plain wants me.

Noah longs for our friendship, but feels hurt by my lies.

And Bennett—he’ll resist my attack on his legacy until the bitter end, but he’d still rather die than lose me again.

And me? I’m starting to think I need my boys back with me after all.

But they’ll have to choose—it’s me or the families.

Because I came to burn it all down, and nothing is going to stand in my way.

This is a new adult, college-aged dark academy romance. It is the second book in a trilogy and does end on a cliffhanger. It is also a “WhyChoose” romance, which means our heroine will have multiple love interests, and she will not have to choose between them in getting to her happy ending. As always, this series is for listeners 18 and over, and contains a ton of foul language, very steamy scenes, and violent themes.

If you’ve listened to Storm the Gates (A Knight’s Revenge, book one) and want to see how Jolie’s story continues, dive in!

book three please!

I love this series. Our FMC is fierce without being overdone. The guys are distinguishable and the plot is legit. It's written the way so many others try and fail to.

This series is so good!

I loved the multi-cast, dual-style narration of the second book in one of my favorite series. The narrators captured the essence of the characters and brought the story to life.

The story unfolds finally!

The first book had me wishing so bad the Heirs knew who they were messing with! They were assholes to JoJo yet they had her back when things got bad. The foundation is nicely laid out for JoJo’s mission. I loved it when her plans start coming to fruition and the relationships between her and the Heirs starts to take form. It’s heartwarming and a little angsty. Anxiously looking forward to the next in the series!

Narration could be better

4⭐️
3.5🌶️

While this wasn’t a bad series, I feel like the hype it gets is a little overboard. The narration was okay, but overall it doesn’t add to the story. If anything, it detracts from it. The female narrator does great with the mean girl voices, but when she does the FMC, she comes across as bratty (not a fun bratty). It’s a full cast narration but done as dual narration instead of duet. And most of that is done by the female narrator. Maybe I would’ve enjoyed it a bit more had I read it instead of doing the audio. Overall, it was a good story.

Sometimes sex can weaken a story

I was turned off by the sexual relationship she had with all the men. To me it weakens the storyline.
