ππππππ ππππππ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Raleigh High Series by Callie Hart
TITLE: THE REBEL OF RALEIGH HIGH
SERIES: RALEIGH REBELS #1
AUTHOR: CALLIE HART
GENRE: DARK ROMANCE
PUBLICATION: APRIL 27TH, 2019
Synopsis
Silver
Hit me.
Kick me.
Hurt me.
Hate me.
There’s nothing that the students of Raleigh High can do to Silver Parisi anymore. Over the past year, she’s had to endure more pain and suffering than most people are asked to bear in their lifetimes. She’s a pariah, an outcast, a ghost. She’s also never been one to take shit lying down, though…despite what half the football team might say.
With only one hundred and sixty-eight days left of the school year, it won’t be long until graduation, and Silver’s planning on skipping town and leaving Raleigh firmly in her rearview mirror…
Until he comes along…
Alex
Orphan.
Degenerate.
Reprobate.
Deviant.
Alex Moretti’s earned most of his labels, and he’s not ashamed of a single one of them. He’ll earn far worse before he’s finished with his new found ‘friends’ at Raleigh High. Having spent years being ground down under the boot heel of society, it’s time for a little payback. And if exacting revenge upon the heads of the Raleigh elite means he can also help the beautiful girl who hovers in the shadows, then that’s all for the better.
Oil and water. Fire and ice. The differences between Silver and Alex are broader than any chasm. To reach one another, they must take a leap of faith and fall into the divide.
And falling?
Nothing good ever came from falling.
Hit me.

My Review
The ink on the backs of Alex's hands really are an accurate representation of him: A wolf and a rose-savage and wild. Beautiful and tender.

Is the first, full length dark romance book within the (Raleigh Rebels) series novel by Callie Hart. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'
Going through my books I realised I never finished this series, after doing a recap, reread of this I still enjoyed it as much if not more as the first time I read it.
Get ready for Alex: The Rebel of Raleigh High' he's going to shake this school up Unpredictable, Unputdownable, Unique, Unexpected. Utterly captivating!!
Raleigh High is run by the entitled football jocks and the mean girls who think they fart gold coins. But one boy you don't want to cross is Jacob Weaving and his two minions. These boys are pure evil.
Those guys are untouchable. Their families own the school. They own the whole town. Hell, they even own the cops. if you fuck with them, there'll be hell to pay, and it won't be any of them settling the bill.
Nine months ago seventeen year old Silver's life changed drastically and in the blink of an eye her so called friends turned their backs on her. Scrub that, the whole school turned their backs on her. Now she's cast aside like yesterday's trash. She's the most hated girl at school. She's counting the days down until she can leave highschool behind her One hundred and sixty nine days to go.
Alex is the new boy in town with a rap sheet and tattoos maring his body, he's like a knight in shining armor riding in on the back of a harley he looks like he's off the series Sons of Anarchy. He has to keep his head down if he has any chance of taking his ten year old brother Ben under his wing as soon as he reaches eighteen.
One girl that he sits next to in class catches his eye. She's the girl everyone ignores. The one no one seems to see. It's like she's a ghost walking the hallways. it doesn't take long before he's told to keep away from her. He didn't heed all the whispers. She's a pariah, an outcast, a ghost. He sees her.
The oversized t-shirts she wears are a shield. A defense. She uses all that extra fabric to hide her body from hungry eyes.
Alex has got Jacob Weaving in his sights. He's going to pay for what he did to Silver. He won't see what's coming.
There will come a day when Jakey Boy's crown slips, and I'll make sure the whole school is on hand to witness it. His fall from grace will make Silver's decent look like she tripped and landed on the world's most comfortable feather mattress.
I never told her, but I vowed to myself about three seconds after meeting Silver that I was going to make Jake and anyone else who had a hand in hurting her pay.
I went into this ignoring the dark tag attached to this book, I even did the dark little happy dance, glad that I'd be getting that little dark fix, but as I’m reading and getting caught under the heroine’s and hero’s spell as their budding romance sparks nothing prepared me for all the hurt and darkness that was slowly creeping up on me. It’s not by any means an easy read. It’s graphic, even I had to get up and clear my head, admittedly I even welcomed doing the mundane chore of housework.
And admittedly I even shed a little tear π’ Silver's story is a hard pill to swallow.
And yet again being cloaked in a false sense of security as all hell breaks loose within the halls of Raleigh High, my palms got sweaty, my heart started beating erratically, cursing the author over the unfairness of the path she was leading me down, only to breathe a big sigh of relief when the storyline changed course.
I went into this one wondering how the author could spin this tale to make it stand out above all the other bullying books out there, also questioning how she would incorporate the dark aspect that's tagged to this story, and believe me she went above and beyond any bully book I've read..
I'm glad the author decided to do an extended epilogue, because it needed it, and sitting here gbsmaked over everything I'd just read I'm really wanting the next book to not be too far away.
On a side note let it be noted how much I loved her dad..He brought a wee bit of lightness that this story needed.

Synopsis
SILVER
Kiss me.
Hold me.
Claim me.
Love me.
It’s hard to remember what life was like before the dark-haired, dark-eyed devil waltzed into Silver’s life and set fire to her soul.
The town of Raleigh is gradually returning to normal after the painful losses it suffered. Jacob Weaving and his football f#@k boys are nothing but tainted memories in Silver’s rear-view mirror. The halls of Raleigh High don’t even inspire the same terror that they used to…
But…
Falling in love so hard, so fast was always bound to blind a girl. Silver has been too wrapped up in her inked-up hero to notice any of the signs: all is not as it should be at Raleigh High. The Raleigh High elite haven’t forgotten the girl who dared defy them…
And now it’s time to make her pay.
Kiss me.
Hold me.
Claim me.
Love me.

My Review
α¦ πππππππ ππ πππππππ ππππ α¦
Is the second, full length dark romance book within the (Raleigh Rebels) series by Callie Hart. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.' This kicks starts right where the previous book left off, so it's best to be read in order.
Is the second, full length dark romance book within the (Raleigh Rebels) series by Callie Hart. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.' This kicks starts right where the previous book left off, so it's best to be read in order.
Heed the warnings, know your triggers, read with caution, this series isn’t light and fluffy, it’s dark, gritty, emotional and this author does not hold back, this touches on extremely sensitive subjects.
I'm so glad I'm working my way through finishing this series because so far it's ticking all those boxes. I love how you think things are going to go one way but then the author switches the switch and everything is turned on its axles. I can't even compare this book/series to any other I've read before.
This had me by the throat, in its clutches and didn’t let go, the twists and turns, and throughout it all these two were a solid foundation. Their love was strong, his need to protect her was boundless.
I’m so happy we get to see this side of Cam, (Silver’s father) he’s hit me with the feels with the lengths he’ll go to protect his daughter, I’ve giggled more times than I can count with his non stealthy antics breaking and entering and Alex coming to his rescue (more than once). The bond these two are moving towards is making me love the shit out of this author for bringing Cam into the storyline how she is.
He was her pillar of strength when the whole school was against her, painting her as a liar, teachers not believing her story, this book was shrouded in so much emotional turmoil when one girls cries for help were ignored by the ones who should’ve been protecting her was utterly heartbreaking.
TITLE: RECKLESS AT RALEIGH HIGH
SERIES: RALEIGH REBELS #3
AUTHOR: CALLIE HART
GENRE: DARK ROMANCE
PUBLICATION: JANUARY 19TH, 2019
Synopsis
“When will we have given enough? When will we have lost enough? If there’s no one out there keeping track of how much pain we’re dealt, how much we’re asked to bear, then that’s the most terrifying thing, Silver. ’Cause if there’s no one keeping track...then there’s no one out there to make it stop.”
Pain is a currency the residents of Raleigh are rich in.
For Silver Parisi, life should be simpler than ever now that Jacob Weaving is behind bars. However, corruption runs deep within Raleigh's town limits, and power and money will turn even those sworn to serve and protect in the end.
Alex Moretti's never had anything to lose. Kicked from foster home to foster home, beaten, broken and abandoned, he's used to fighting for his own survival. The brutal challenges he's had to face have hardened him. Made him a savage force to be reckoned with.
But even the strongest amongst us have a breaking point...

My Review
So I had been kicking myself with not finishing this series, I'd only read the 1st book and then had forgotten others were to come, but reading it like I have back to back was the best thing I could've done.
This series is going to be one of my top ones to date, it had everything I could've wished for and more, I didn't think I'd come away feeling as though I was saying goodbye to family members I'd never see again, these characters burrowed themselves so deep within my core, it was hard closing out of that last page.
The end..
Now I have to go on a search and find something similar to this series.
