Synopsis
The deadliest man on campus is out for blood. And I have just painted a giant target on my back.
Hitman. Assassin. Contract killer. Hired murderers have many names. And Blackwater University trains them all.
My brother is the last chance my family has to restore our name after a devastating failure. He was on track to become one of the best hitmen of his year, but he made a mistake. He crossed Eli Hunter. The most dangerous student on the entire campus.
So I made a desperate choice. I enrolled in Blackwater University to take my brother’s place as Eli’s target. Every wicked and depraved act he was going to inflict on my brother, I will endure instead.
Eli Hunter is going to do everything he can to drag me into the depths of hell. But little does he know that hell is about to become my own personal playground.

My Review
❀ 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 ❀
Is the first full length romance book within the (kings of Blackwater) series by new to me author Raven Wood. Spoken in dual POV's.
Someone on my friends list in here is reading this which is the only reason it was brought to my attention, the cover doesn't scream to my cover hoe eyes so I would've bypassed it, But thank god for the blurb because that's what grabbed me.
As soon as my happy little heart had gotten it off Amazon I sat down and couldn't believe how quickly I was pulled into the storyline so effortlessly. Jumping into this I didn't have any preconceived expectations, not looking at reviews I didn't really know what to expect, I haven't loved a female character like I loved Raina Smith.
God she was so out of her depth at Blackwater University, she stood out like a sore thumb, an assassin she was not, and it showed. But god she was tough in other ways. She gave poor Eli Hunter a run for his money, he's one of the Hunter boys, these boys you don't mess with, you don't even look them in the eyes because you could become their next target. They are feared, bowed down to, no one crosses them..
Until her..
She was out for blood, no one messes with her brother and gets away with it, and she just put a target on with back with a smile on her face whilst doing it. She went for the jugular and marred his prized possession.
Nothing could prepare him for her, no matter what he threw at her, she never broke, she never bowed down, the push and pull these had was hilarious.
I lost count how many times this had me giggling, I loved her sass, I loved how she pushed his buttons.

Synopsis
Six years ago, I saved the life of a mafia prince.
Biggest mistake I ever made.
Because now, the people who wanted him dead have realized that he is in fact still alive, and since I am the one to blame for that, my head is now on the chopping block too. In order to evade them, I decide to hide in the one place they would never expect me to be. A school for assassins.
Pretending to be a mediocre student, I hide my true skills and change my appearance so that no one will notice me. But there is one massive problem that I did not see coming. The mafia prince I saved is there too. And he recognizes me.
Keeping my identity hidden becomes increasingly difficult when he is doing everything in his power to force me to admit who I really am. If I don’t reveal my identity to him, he might actually kill me. But if I do, our hunters will kill us both.
So I only have one withstand his dangerous attention and hope that he loses interest.
But the problem with a lethally powerful man like him is that once he sets eyes on his prey, he doesn’t stop until he gets what he wants.

❀ 𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 ❀
Is the second full length romance book within the (kings of Blackwater) series by new to me author Raven Wood. Spoken in dual POV's. 'Rico & Isabella'
After really enjoying the first book and grabbing this off Amazon I'm jumping in
F#ck life
F#ck adulting
I'm reading!!
Holy crap I swear I held my breath through a few scenes in this book, the author came out swinging and I’m another victim that’s fallen, this book grabbed me by the throat too many times to count and like an adrenaline junky my angsty gritty little heart lapped up the words this author wrote.
It's definitely got a completely different vibe to the previous book, and I wish the author had really delved a bit more into the life she lived within the cult, because that shit was cray cray.
This one was that wee bit more grittier
Emotional, a girl with no name
And a boy hiding in plain sight.
I’m so glad I initially took that first plunge and took a chance on this series!
