„Dear Reader” by Tate James
BLURB
Dear Reader,
You want my advice? Never look a gift horse in the mouth. You don’t want to see the rotten teeth.
In this case, the gift is a scholarship to attend the prestigious Neveah University. The rotten teeth? Well, they came in the form of my brand new stepbrother and his little cohort of entitled, arrogant best friends. Four dangerously handsome and stupidly wealthy men who made up their minds about me long before we met. Men who are used to getting everything they want no matter what the price.
I was a big girl, I could ignore them. Then came the secret society hazing. Kidnappings. Crazy parties. Insane stunts. Mindblowing prizes. Even so, I could handle myself... until the secret and stolen moments with men I had no business falling for. It was enough to give a girl a nightmares.
Because, dear reader, this was only the beginning of my ordeal with the Devil’s Backbone Society. How do I know?
I read about it...
MY OPINION
„Dear Reader” is my first book written by Tate James. I took this book because I was curious about the title. Why „Dear Reader”? This was a main question.
Tate James is taking us to Devil's Backbone secret society. We meet Ashley who is joining to the Neveah University. Her stepbrother is already in that university . With Nate, she has an opportunity to meet also his friends – whos are rich kids with expensive cars.
At her first day at new dorm she found the diary of one girl who is dead. But it is really a diary? Does this girl who wrote it is really dead? These are the questions.
„Dear Reader” is a correct story. I won't write that this is a hot romance, because we have here only three big spicy scenes. Also story isn't dark. Some situations inside are disgusting, but in the end this is a normal book to me. If you ask me about star ranking, I will tell that this is 3/5 stars to me. This end? Cliffhanger which made me downloading „Watch your back”, the second installment in this series. And yes, I am reading it right now.
Sad thing? Why I always have to choose a nice hero who will make me cry? You will know which one is my fav when you read this book.
„Dear Reader” made me curious about all trilogy. Maybe I don't like a lot all heroes inside, maybe I was thinking that I will meet something diffrent in this book, but in the end this was a nice reading. Not awesome, but nice.
