Synopsis
If I’d known then what I know now, I’d never have tried to reclaim my crown.
After fleeing London and the scandal that tore my family apart, I’m left broken, confused, and mourning a life I never realized was so fragile. I’m used to being on top. I’m used to being admired, and now I’m desperate for a way back in.
I think I’ve found it when I see Aston Cole—my first crush, my first kiss—at my new school. But Ash isn’t who he used to be. He’s the king. And me… well, I’m not going down without a fight—even with the lies and secrets filling the school halls around us.

My Review
THE DESTRUCTION OF ROSE:
is the first full length mature YA book in 'New to me author' Rachel M. Raithby's 'Albany Nightingale Duet' series.
WOW! This depicted young love perfectly and captured the entire range of angsty emotions that come with a YA/BULLY novel perfectly- it had everything a romance reader could ask for.
What a great start to a wonderful new series! All fans of bullying books will be jumping on this one! This author took ‘Revenge’ to a whole new level! And only one Queen is fit to wear the crown! I don’t know who I was scared of most, Rose herself, or Roses mother! Old hands at bringing people to their knees! Forces to be reckoned with!

Rose was the crown wearing queen B at her school, St Paul's Grammer in London until that is swiped out from under her feet and her and her mother leave behind a mess of criminal destruction. Even her best friend and boyfriend turn their backs on her in her time of need.

Leaving Rose floundering in its wake facing an unknown future in a country she hasn't set foot in since her younger years when she fell in love with the first boy who kissed her at the age of thirteen when her parents sailed away on a luxury holiday and Rose was sent packing to her Grandparents in New York, on the Upper east Side.
If life wasn't hard enough she's now having to start at the bottom again at a new school with a whole new crowd. But maybe it's not going to be so bad when she claps eyes on the boy who stole her heart many moons ago, Ashton Cole. BUT He's not the same boy he used to be. This Ashton doesn't want anything to do with her..
But that's not how this story goes..
Get ready for a crazy ride!! Because at this new school there is already a Queen with two soldiers (Ashton & his stepbrother Grayson) flanking her side.
