Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Christie Mitchum
Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a fantastic enemies-to-lovers, new adult high school bully romance this one was! Isla Vaughn is a new writer for me, and I’m so thrilled that I discovered her.
Cole and Riley come from two completely different worlds. Cole comes from a privileged world, and Riley has been running most of her life with her mother. Now, their two worlds collide when they discover their parents are together. Riley is soon plunged into Cole’s world. She isn’t happy about it, and Cole most certainly isn’t. A kiss they shared in the past makes Cole dislike her even more. He has plans to destroy her and make her and her mother disappear from his life. Too bad he can’t turn his hidden desire for her off though! Riley has those same feelings for him too. Both have secrets they want to stay hidden which makes things even more complicated.
While the book is in the genre of enemies to lovers and a high school bully romance, there is also an air of suspense!!! The angst and chemistry between these two is off the charts which makes for great reading!
This is just the first book in the series, and it’s already so good! It does end in a cliffhanger, and boy what a cliffhanger it is! I know a lot of readers hate cliffhangers, but I love them! I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
