MF, with some MFM. This is not a “why-choose” series.

My Review

ღ 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞 ღ 
Is the first full length dark romance book within the 'Churchill Bradley Academy' series. Spoken in 'dual perspectives' by two new to me authors. HERO: Eli HEROINE: Arabella


I’ve picked up, and put down at least 5 books so far UNTIL this book!! This pulled me in straight away and kept my attention throughout which surprised me considering the length of it.

What kind of gold digger of a mother marries a wealthy man within a week? Who? Arabella's mother that's who!! And he comes with a son. A son who is going to wreak havoc on her life until she goes crawling back to where she belongs.

To make matters worse she's shipped off to the same academy he attents. Churchill Bradley Academy where the usual clique rich kids run the school.

It all started with a DARE..But that one dare turned sinister where one boy took it further than it's ever been taken before.

This was so wrong on many levels, but she was given many options to pull the plug and type RED. Where lines became blurred, hate, lust, love. And it all stopped being a game.
Beyond hot 🔥 where all her carnal SINs were wrapped up in a masked man who taunted her to let her inhibitions go.

Usually we have the mean girls vying to take down the new girl, this had a new spin, here we had Eli Travers her monster of a step brother and the jocks who wanted her too.

A leaked tape, promiscuous pictures, all fingers suggest that Eli is behind it all. Ending on a cliffy. I'm definitely invested enough to jump into the next book..

TITLE: DARE TO TAKE
SERIES: CHURCHILL BRADLEY ACADEMY #2
AUTHORS: L. ANN & CLAIRE MARTA
GENRE: DARK HIGH SCHOOL BULLY BOOK
PUBLICATION: FEBRUARY 14TH, 2023

Synopsis

Arabella Gray
Studious. Good Girl. Liar.
I warned her. I told her I would break her if she stayed.
Who knew watching her shatter would taste so sweet?


Eli Travers
Outcast. Artist. Monster.
He vowed to make me pay—to ruin me.
Only now it's my own sin that will break me.

The monsters of Churchill Bradley Academy are stirring and deadly dangers haunt the halls.

In this new game of cat and mouse, secret lovers and sinful dares, will all innocence be lost?

My Review

ღ 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 ღ Is the second full length dark romance book within the 'Churchill Bradley Academy' series. Spoken in 'dual perspectives' by two new to me authors. HERO: Eli HEROINE: Arabella


Just be aware that these do have to be read in order. Even though it's pegged as dark for me I don't find them dark at all, but overall I still enjoyed this.

Well this was shamelessly inhaled, this picked up right where the previous book left off.

The authors switched up the angst even more in this one. The whole school is against her pitting her up against Eli, the heartbreak, the fear, all alone in a place she doesn’t belong. No one to lean on. Eli has ceased fire, he wants to get to the bottom of things.

The DARES are escalating, but they are from an unknown source, students are getting hurt. Arabella's at the end of her tether.

She still has no idea who Sin is!! So I'm keen to see what that little tidbit is revealed and how she reacts to that betrayal along with all the other betrayals.

And yet again we're faced with another cliffy, this one more brutal than the previous one, but usually where I’d be cursing the authors, there’s no waiting game to play with each book released. Win win.

TITLE: DARE TO FALL
SERIES: CHURCHILL BRADLEY ACADEMY #3
AUTHORS: L. ANN & CLAIRE MARTA
GENRE: DARK HIGH SCHOOL BULLY BOOK
PUBLICATION: FEBRUARY 14TH, 2023

Synopsis

Arabella Gray
Studious. Good Girl. Liar.
She's become my addiction—I feed her my pain.
When the threat of losing her awakens the monster, there is no one left to save her from me.


Eli Travers
Outcast. Artist. Monster.
I fell in love with my stepbrother—the Monster.
I crave his touch and loathe his name. He took everything I gave and twisted it with hate.

The past rises from the dead and stalks the living. Shadows will overtake the light, while blood and darkness coat the walls of Churchill Bradley Academy.

Can new found love save them all, or will the monster win in the end?

My Review

ღღ 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋 ღღ Is the third full length dark romance book within the 'Churchill Bradley Academy' series. Spoken in 'dual perspectives' by two new to me authors. HERO: Eli HEROINE: Arabella

Even though this series has been dragged out I'm still invested enough and enjoying it enough to keep going. This kicks starts off where the previous book left off.

AND OMG Not far in and it's FINALLY revealed who SIN is..Here I thought He'd have to do some serious grovelling, but that's not the case, etched on his skin is a nicely done puzzle piece.

BUT still the threats come through from an unknown person/or persons but before when she had no one in her corner she now has Eli & Kellan on her side with others joining forces.

Until Eli’s switch is flicked and he’s spiralling out of control, his inner monster is unleashed with things going too far.

He has some major grovelling to do (yet again) the ping ponging too and fro with these two is relentless.

This was more emotional, more angst, more trepidation.

I’m unsure how the authors are going to wrap things up in the next book because I thought this finished perfectly.

TITLE: DARE TO LIVE
SERIES: CHURCHILL BRADLEY ACADEMY #4
AUTHORS: L. ANN & CLAIRE MARTA
GENRE: DARK HIGH SCHOOL BULLY BOOK
PUBLICATION: FEBRUARY 17TH, 2023

Synopsis

Recluse. Artist. Angry.
My Nasty Little Monster
I became his obsession. His love became my prison.

Arabella Gray
Brave. Good Girl. Broken
Our love was twisted with hate.
Doomed from the start, destined to fail.

We thought we'd defeated the monsters of Churchill Bradley Academy. Turns out they were hiding in the shadows, thirsting for blood.

What will happen when the past refuses to stay buried and the monsters come back out to play?

My Review

ღღ DARE TO LIVE ღღ Is the final full length dark romance book within the 'Churchill Bradley Academy' series. Spoken in 'dual perspectives' by two new to me authors. HERO: Eli HEROINE: Arabella

As a whole, back to back reading, this gets my 5 stars..

God I’ve never read anything like this series before, or inhaled anything as quick as I have with these books. This is the first time in a very long time where I've read just for me, no time line to read it by, this was such a refreshing stress relief. I know this series won't be for everyone, there's a few triggers, Eli can be volatile and at times not very likeable, but delve deeper and my heart beat in synch with his, he had my full attention. I loved all sides of him.

They do have a lot of sex, like a lot a lot
Hate sex, like sex, love sex, dare sex, but every single time it's fresh, it's new. It was never repetitive.

This series had my emotions wrapped up so tight, up and down like a rollercoaster, the bullying, their falling out, the death of close friends, the terror, it could've gone a whole lot darker but it was just enough to keep me invested in this series.

Now my biggest dilemma is what to read next!!.
