A new adult dark academia romance with a scarred hero and a school full of secrets from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken

She spent seven years mourning him.

He spent seven years hating her.

Neither of them knows they're hunting the same secret.

They call it the Dean's List.

Not because of grades.

Because of sins.

At Brighton University, someone keeps a ledger of the powerful. Professors. Legacy families. Future politicians. Every affair, bribe, betrayal, and crime is carefully collected, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy the people responsible.

Delilah Quinn wants nothing to do with it.

She changed her name, rebuilt her life, and has one year left before she can finally leave her past behind.

Then Jude Mercer walks back into her life.

The boy she loved.

The boy she buried.

The boy who knows exactly who she is.

Jude spent years paying for a crime he didn't commit, convinced Delilah betrayed him. Now he's back, determined to uncover the truth and make everyone responsible suffer.

Especially her.

But revenge gets complicated when old feelings refuse to stay dead, and the deeper they dig into the Dean's List, the more they realize the ledger isn't exposing strangers.

It's exposing their families.

Someone has been waiting for them to come home.

Someone knows what really happened seven years ago.

And if the Dean's List finally comes to light...

It won't just ruin lives.

It will reveal that some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

Review: Spicy Disaster - Lani Lynn Vale

Spicy Disaster Spicy Disaster by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars                                                                                         

Spicy Disaster by Lani Lynn Vale is book 6 in the Don’t Date Him series and focuses on the characters Odin and Constance. Constance is a single mother raising her young child Mary who has medical issues which means that she needs constant blood transfusions. Having been allocated to jury duty she comes across another juror, Odin.  

Odin had to give up his whole life and appearance when he committed a crime and was relocated. Having to give up his career as a doctor, he has been whiling his time away being a donor recipient for Constance's child (not that she knows) and when he is thrown into her path due to jury duty, things get complicated, especially when it seems that Constance doesn't like him because of her past history with motorcycle clubs. 

I liked that both characters were surly to begin with, especially with each other and that it took a while for us to get into the romance of the book. There was certainly some pettiness from Constance which at times was hilarious. Both characters have complicated pasts which comes to light slowly throughout the book. We see what Odin did and why he was punished but you feel sympathy for him and the journey he has had to take.  

I also liked that this book had a little bit of mystery thrown into it too which kept you guessing on what was happening. Overall, this was another great addition to the series. 

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

BLURB


Everyone talks about finding the one that makes their heart skip a beat.

Personally, I’m not looking to develop any heart problems.

I definitely don’t have to worry about developing any when it comes to the one man who knows how to get on my every nerve.

Odin Mayer is the most offensive, black-hearted, no-good, very-bad, surliest man I’d ever met.

He was Grumpy with a capital G, a biker to boot, and never missed a chance to make me see red.

Just as I’m convinced there’s no good side to Odin, he shows me differently, saving me when I didn’t ask him to.

And, of course, I have to spend the next few weeks with him after we both get chosen for the same trial to perform our civic duty.

Jury duty was not on my Bingo card.

Nor was falling for the jerkoff.

But there I was, somehow lingering in the middle space between fuck you and I want to fuck you.

Odin knew what he was doing, too.

Teasing and taunting me at every turn.

Then he had to go out of his way to be a hero, and I forgot that I was supposed to stay away.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… 

The day I was found in the woods covered in blood, I decided the world would know my wrath. 

I was betrayed by the people I trusted the most, so I crafted a plan. During the daylight I attend college, but at night I have my vengeance. 

Spine Ridge University is my playground, and I can make any student bend to my will with the snap of a finger to get my way. 

Until two depraved boys of the Tartarus House, a secret society filled with debauchery, discover the trail of bodies I left behind … and decide they’re going to help me. 

I don’t play by the rules, but my twisted games only make Xavier and Orion that much more possessive of me. They yearn so badly it haunts me, and their filthy proposition soon becomes irresistible. 

We’re a perfect, macabre match and a killer’s dream come true. 

But time is ticking… 

Because Atreus, an obsessive cop, is hunting me down. His righteousness is just the right amount of unhinged for my kind of crazy, and we can’t stay away from each other. 

A thrilling game of cat and mouse was just what I needed to stay on my toes … 

Let the carnage begin.
