AUTHOR: Jaymin Eve & Tate James GENRE: NA Romance PAGES: 252 RELEASED: 26 December 2019 SERIES: Royals Of Arbon Academy #1 SYNOPSIS: You have been chosen. Those four words change Violet Spencer’s whole life, when against staggering odds, she's selected in the "princess ballot." Arbon Academy is affectionately known as the school for Royals. Only the rich, powerful, or heir to a throne gain entry ... except for the one scholarship student accepted every five years. It's a worldwide lottery, and one that Violet entered without giving it any serious thought. But the media got it wrong and Arbon Academy is much more than a simple college for future leaders. It’s a dark world of politics, intrigue, and dangerous guys who will stop at nothing to get their own way. Despite her best efforts at remaining off the radar, Violet finds herself a pawn between two of the most powerful monarchies in the world. Prince Rafe of the Switzerlands and Prince Alex of the Australasias are bitter enemies both on the soccer field and in the political arena. Monarchies rule the world now, and every waking breath is a competition for the princes. Control the ball. Control the world. Control Violet. Whether it's through love or hate, someone will ultimately win. I was kindly sent a copy of this book for review from Wildfire Marketing Solutions in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. A new adult dark romance with a side of dystopia that'll have you hooked from the first page.
Orphan Violet Spencer has been given the chance of a lifetime - she's one of 5 million chosen in the Princess Ballot to attend Arbon Academy, the most prestigious school in the world, learning alongside the Royals of the world. Violet's plan for the next four years is to keep her head down and get her education. She wants nothing to do with the Royals. That's until she arrives at the school and befriends Mattie and her twin brother Nolan - both Royals with Nolan the Crown Prince. Soon, she's hanging out with the Royals and a number of Crowns. But there are secrets running beneath the floors of Arbon and Violet's trust will be tested as she discovers the true colours of the Royals she has chosen to trust her life and heart with. Little does she know how deadly the world of Arbon Academy really is... I had no idea what to expect when I went into this book - I hadn't even really read the synopsis before diving in. But it was SO GOOD! I couldn't put this book down, only stopping because it was 3am and sleep was getting the better of me. Jaymin and Tate drew me into the world of Arbon Academy almost instantly and I didn't want to book to end (also because it ended on a cliffhanger and I don't want to wait until the end of June fore the next book). All of the characters were super intriguing, with the authors slowly teasing more and more of their story throughout the book. On top of that, the world was so interesting, being a futuristic dystopia of our own world after a Monarch War has seen a worldwide rebuild with altered borders and resources. It kind of feels a bit like The Selection by Kiera Cass, but also not - similar vibes of being a reformed version of our world. With twists and turns along the way, I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to see where Jaymin and Tate take the story in the second installment - things were just kicking off on the final page, so anything can happen in part two! Get your hands on the this if you're a new adult dark romance fan with a side of dystopia and dive into this world of secrets, Royals and lies! |
