Breakbattle Academy Series by Ruby Vincent -> Restarting April 20th, 2021

[Alaina]

Welcome to Breakbattle Academy.
The first school of its kind where survival of the fittest is not a saying, it's your reality.

Ruled by those who are elite in name, beauty, and cunning; Breakbattle takes the war of the classes to a whole new level.

The next four years of my life will be a fight the likes of which I can't yet comprehend, but first I have to survive orientation week.

The Elite Class has plans for me. They will test me until I break, but there is nowhere for me to run.

Secrets and lies lurk beneath the made-up facade, and I don't mean Breakbattle.

I mean me.

There is something that I have to do. There is someone that I'm after. He doesn't know that I'm coming. He doesn't know who I am. But nothing will stop me from seeing my plans through.

Not my family. Not the Elite Class. Not the pesky fact that I'm a girl.

Breakbattle's all-boys campus is getting a new student. Don't call me Zela.

Call me Zeke.


Orientation Week is a reverse harem high school bully romance. This is the prequel and features language, dark themes, and sexual scenes. If you're cool with that, dive in!

[Kelly]

I'm going to start soon.

30%: (view spoiler)[Uh, yeah, she makes a good point - why do people need to be such assholes. The school could've done something about these "battles" and there should be a limit too. (hide spoiler)]
52%: (view spoiler)[This whole school seems so freaking weird. I'm just wondering when they are going to think he's a she. (hide spoiler)]
78%: (view spoiler)[uhhh what is happening to her? also is then when people find out she's a girl? (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[Oh man, F Class - ouch! Okay I'm intrigued to continue on with this challenge. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

25% - (view spoiler)[I'm not hooked yet and the pretending to be a guy thing is stressing me out. Same with the battles and tests that are going to happen. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I'm so curious to see how they'll figure out she's a girl. I've read your review before finishing the book so I know it's not going to happen in the first book ^^ (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

Alaina wrote: "30%: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yeah it's really weird that they didn't install a quotat for battles after the problems they had before. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

Finished - (view spoiler)[I actually enjoyed this book more in the second half. I loved the twists toward the end (Derek being dead then not, the F class & her plan that was to get close to Derek) I really want to know why she wanted to get close to him! (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

Alaina, do you want to keep reading and make this a series thread ? :)

yesssssssssss x1000

[Kelly]

Thanks! I'll start the second book tonight.

[Kelly]

33% - (view spoiler)[That director & Elite teacher can go to hell. I'm glad Landon apologized but then he challenged her. (hide spoiler)]
37% - (view spoiler)[Melody and Cam together and Adam's reaction... I'm feeling sick. (hide spoiler)]
46% - (view spoiler)[I really hope Cameron won't be in the "harem" even though authors usually like to redeem the bully. I LOVE the banter between her and Derek (hide spoiler)]
55% - (view spoiler)[She is not ok. And why is she obsessed with Derek? (hide spoiler)]
85% - (view spoiler)[I'm thinking she'll be accused. (hide spoiler)]
100% - (view spoiler)[Yup. That last chapter was horrible and made me cry. I can't believe they had her beat up & violated like that. I don't think they were ok with that assholedid but still! It was too fucking far. So glad she has Derek and Adam on her side. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

21% - (view spoiler)[So she still pretends to be a boy in public. I wasn't sure what would happen. I don't get why Landon is so mad at her even after hurting her like that. I get that she lied about her identity and kissed him but if someone should be mad it's her. (hide spoiler)]
55% - (view spoiler)[Landon hasn't apologized yet but they're making out. I'm glad Adam is with Melody (hide spoiler)]
83% - (view spoiler)[She finally told Derek what happened to her. I was wondering about that. I like how the different relationships are evolving. It was just a little weird that Landon was ok sharing her when he seemed possessive a little while ago. (hide spoiler)]
100% - (view spoiler)[HER SISTER? No... just no. Derek was probably my favorite and now the author is telling us no... I don't appreciate it lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

56% - (view spoiler)[Just do a damn DNA test already!! (hide spoiler)]
73% - (view spoiler)[I feel like the author enjoys teasing the reader and then not writing the smut scenes lol (hide spoiler)]
78% - (view spoiler)[It's so ridiculous the whole fighting over tutoring. I kind of want to roll my eyes a bit. I can totally picture it in a parody. (hide spoiler)]
100% - (view spoiler)[I knew she wasn't going to be his sister... It would have been gross to put chemistry and tension between those two if they were actually siblings. I didn't see the rest of the drama coming though (Cam dying and her being arrested) (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

4% - (view spoiler)[Pressing charges for that video would be a good idea. (hide spoiler)]
28% - (view spoiler)[The girls bragging about being with her boyfriends is so annoying! (hide spoiler)]
33% - (view spoiler)[I'm glad the expansion didn't happen. (hide spoiler)]
55% - (view spoiler)[I'm a little tired and bored with the whole Network/For All plot but it's almost over. I have an idea about For All, I might be wrong though. (hide spoiler)]
66% - (view spoiler)[Cameron was her half brother ?! Damn (hide spoiler)]
76% - (view spoiler)[This is so sad. She spent her life looking for her biological family and now she's seeing the brother she could have had if things had been different. (hide spoiler)]
100% - (view spoiler)[Well I was wrong xD I didn't see any of it coming. I'm glad she didn't try to get to know her dad who's a complete psycho, btw. The ending = babies everywhere lol (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Dang girl, I feel so behind on this lol

[Kelly]

Alaina wrote: "Dang girl, I feel so behind on this lol"

they go by pretty quickly so you'll be fine ^^

[Alaina]

haha thanks for the motivation

[Alaina]

I will dive into the second book after I zoom through this other standalone. I can't wait to dive back into this series and read your comments!

[Kelly]

I just finished the last book. Overall I really enjoyed the series. I hope you will too. Now I have to write the reviews but I don't want to so I might just read something else instead.

[Alaina]

holy cannnnoli, okay I'm like almost done with my book then I will dive into this series.

[Kelly]

I just saw that Adam's mom & dads had their own series. I had no idea! I don't know if I'll read it but I'm curious.

Take your time lol !!! I’m hoping I can squeeze this series in this month. I’ve been on an RH bully trend lately and seeing this showing up in my feed so much lately is like a sign from above but also a big tease lol 😂

LOL okay I will take my time! You should join this!

[Alaina]

25%: (view spoiler)[wow that teacher is a dick. (hide spoiler)]
33%: (view spoiler)[I'm sorry.. but a fucking chair? This battle system is getting ridiculous. (hide spoiler)]
70%: (view spoiler)[...so we are back to the chair? (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[It was about time they found out she was girl! I wonder what's going to happen next now that they know.. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

20%: (view spoiler)[why should other schools suffer this crappy system? (hide spoiler)]
41%: (view spoiler)[..wait how do they not know about the suicide? (hide spoiler)]
61%: (view spoiler)[I feel like messing with Michael's racing might be taking it too far, but what do I know? (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[ugh, these elite douches are annoying to deal with. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

28%: (view spoiler)[how does one go from wanting to hook up with Landon... to hooking up with Cole? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

52%: (view spoiler)[why is she wanting to get so hot and heavy with these guys? like calm down. (hide spoiler)]
72%: (view spoiler)[Oh no, I hope it wasn't true but if it was... that guys is a douche and doesn't deserve Jordan. (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[wait the... how is he/she under arrest? UGH, I need the next book NOW!. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

44%: (view spoiler)[..and yet, we haven't heard a thing about who killed Cameron? (hide spoiler)]

I agree with everything you said about this book. I'm glad she has Adam and Derek.. but I wasn't sure on how I felt about everyone else.

Ugh, her and Landon. I just don't get it. Why want him to apologize but then completely forget about it once they started kissing? Also the whole sister brother thing made me cringe. Where's the proof?

OMG YES! WHERE WAS THIS MAGICAL TEST? Also talk about a whole bunch of secrets coming up... hot damn. Not sure how the next book is going to go after that ending either.

[Kelly]

LOL yeah every time he was mentioned I wanted to yell at them to order a test. I'm curious to see what you'll think of the last book :)

ahahah well you know hormones and stuff

ugh, I just read about the video.

[Alaina]

66%: (view spoiler)[SHE IS CAMERON'S SISTER? YOU'VE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME RIGHT NOW. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

85%: (view spoiler)[is it weird that I wanted him to be like.. oh, you look like someone I used to know? Or is that just way weird and my problem? Either way that guy is a dick. (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[wait, what? that's how it's going to end? I honestly don't know how I feel about that...I'm glad that they all got their happy ending-ish but eh, it was okay. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Honestly, I kind of forgot already how it ended other than they stopped other schools from being like this one. (hide spoiler)]

LOL I mean I just finished it and I'm like.. what? What just happened?

[Alaina]

Should we try another one of her series next month?

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Finally getting to this series!!!

32% (view spoiler)[I don’t like being in the dark on her reasoning for needing to attend and make the E class. Love that math s her thing. Can’t wait for her showing more of these guys up. Though I think she’s highly understating her capability to go undercover, (hide spoiler)]
42% (view spoiler)[Wait wait wait, did she really just run out of there crying over that, smh, she is so underprepared (hide spoiler)]
79% (view spoiler)[Wait what the heck just happened?????????? (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[Yeah I'm totally intrigued now. Why the hell does she want to get at Derek, what's the connection??? And what's with these memories and voices in her head? I knew the pranks would be worse than she expected but I didn't see them trying to get members to hide a murder, I mean that's just a whole other level of F'd up (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

29% (view spoiler)[All these mentions of her needing to get close to Derek but why?!?! When are we gonna find out already. (hide spoiler)]
61% (view spoiler)[Ok what just happened? What was that accident? At this point I’m almost getting frustrated with all the unknowns lol

Also Cameron dating melody is really messed he hell up. I’m hoping he doesn’t end up being one of Zela’s guys. Wonder how long it’ll take before someone finds out or she tells them, I’m thinking it’ll be Adam first 🤷🏼‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]
72% (view spoiler)[Oh man it’s gonna be on. Please let her get a win against this guy for once. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[I’m almost a little upset they tried to frame her I mean it was so obvious that’s where this was going. But damn she got her ass kicked while cole and Landon just stood there. Honestly I don’t know if I’m ok with them just standing by like that, thinking she was a boy or not. I mean everyone is so quick to blame yet Landon never stopped to think why Zeke was even still around at the school if he was guilty, I’m so disappointed in him. And I hope Zach feels like crap, he really has rage issues that he should get control of. Finally the secret is out but what does this mean now. Is she outed to everyone or will the guys not say anything, who will she come back as, zeke or zela? (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Starting....(view spoiler)[I’m seething and so enraged still with Landon. I think because he and Zeke had that moment, I guess I just thought he was a better person. Man if he doesn’t show some serious groveling,,,,,.... 😈😈😈 Please let Zela turn the tables on all these asshat lol. I’m so happy she can truly trust Derek and Adam, not to mention the relief cuz her secret is out to them now. (hide spoiler)]
31% (view spoiler)[Wow so that’s how it’s gonna be. Screw Landon Cole and Michael 😡 (hide spoiler)]
56% (view spoiler)[Well at least adam gets his girl. Jordan is gonna be sooooooo upset (hide spoiler)]
66% (view spoiler)[What's this connection with Derek? Obviously she doesn't hate him and he didn't do anything to her or does it seem like she's ever even met him so what's the deal? Are they related, cousins? Ugh I dont know, it's hard because even though Zela is clueless it's clear he does feel some kind of way about her. Yet she's so blinded by the Trio or Landon, Cole and Michael that she's once again not seeing everything clearly. Glad she's fighting back though, you go girl! (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[Well shit. I stayed up until 3 AM and it was so hard not starting the next one but damn did I need sleep lol. What is with these cliffhanger endings lol. Stressful for sure. Also I'm not sure how I feel about the Derek revelation! Could it be true, the author did a great job twisting that situation and making the obvious a jumbled mess. Pooooooor Derek but damn now poor Zela, did he really not hear her following him and that small yelp? I'm so worried, what will Cameron and his guys do to her? I'm afraid especially since he knows Zeke is a girl. Off to the next one, Literally CANNOT WAIT! Didn't expect to get sucked in to this one. (hide spoiler)]

Ahah yeah that series was so addictive!! Especially with those cliffhangers. I think one night I couldn't stop reading ^^

(view spoiler)[Yeah I felt so betrayed by Landon when he watched that beating without doing anything to help her. With that cute as hell scene where they first kissed I was so mad at him. (hide spoiler)]

OMG seriously, glad I'm not alone lol. I really got sucked in and I each book ends worse than the one before, stopping is not an option. Sooooo glad I have a long weekend coming up because after this I'm going to need sleeeeeep ;) I can definitely see how you both read them so fast now!!

(view spoiler)[Hoping she still makes the boys suffer a bit. Though I think I'm so ready for the downfall of Cam that somewhere along the way my anger at them has dulled, but only a little lol (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

(view spoiler)[Cam's downfall.... you'll see. It's coming in a way... just not how you might think.

Yeah she makes them grovel a bit and she has a plan for each of them if I remember correctly. lol if you end up forgiving them it's okay, I won't blame you! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[No matter how it happens I can't wait, hope it's what he deserves. At this rate I imagine I'll bust this series out today, I can't stop lol (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

5% (view spoiler)[ Wish I had my emojis on this PC because I am livid. This is too damn far even for Cameron. And all these guys just standing by while she got stripped like that and holding her down...... I mean kidnapping her was bad but this assault cannot stand. SHE NEEDS TO BRING THESE F*CKERS DOWN!!!!! I don't think she should have taunted him or told him her master plan, she should know him better than this by now. Then again she keeps underestimating the slime-ball. And ugh Derek, my heart. (hide spoiler)]
19% (view spoiler)[Wow way to get cockblocked lmao, his mother though was hilarious!! (hide spoiler)]
34% (view spoiler)[Derek!!! Ugh the pain, I'm still not sure how I feel about this but that was harsh! (hide spoiler)]
41% (view spoiler)[This is hilarious and too funny. I was wondering if he was really her brother, I mean how much research did Zela actually do lol. Really hoping she is 100% wrong because I really love Derek and she does have non-familial feelings for her no matter what she says! (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ What. Just. Happened?!?!?! 😱😱😱😱😱 so many whammies at the end, damn if this author doesn’t know how to pack a punch, I’m kind of speechless. I’m glad the Derek issue is out and he’s not her bro. I hates being strung along not know8ng, can’t belive she was sooooooo adamant and secretly scared to be wrong. I still think it’s crazy she didn’t want to know for sure 100% smh. But that does leave the question, who is dereks father? Funny thing is I clearly forget to do more thoughts after 40% but if I’m being honest most would have been about how much I hated Zach and he was quickly taking the place of most hated Cam had the title for lol. And now 😱🤯 though having said that, I will not be at all surprised if this involves zach. Zach and what Zela said at that meeting. How it’s all connected I’m not sure. Kind of sad the series is about to be over, I feel so invested after all these lol. Also I still think it’s impossible to believe a girl could secretly live as a boy for years at a boarding school, but that aside I’m really looking forward to the next one. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Ok yeah u got me there, defineitly didn’t foresee him dying or should I say, being killed 😱😱 Glad I joined u guys, I’m loving these lol (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

lol yeah I didn't expect that either. I'm glad you're reading them and enjoying it :)

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

20% (view spoiler)[Wow. Her mom is amazing at using words to make things go her way lol. I don’t think her mom is making the right decision though by not telling her or at least telling her why she won’t tell her her fathers name. I me@n if he’s a serial killer or something just tell her, bet she won’t want to more then lol. Not sure what her reasoning will be but ummmm just a thought, but was her returning to school as Zela more lackluster than I expected. The school itself allowing her to rerun seems off. I’d say that’s proof that girls can compete and win against the guys (if they’re so stuck to this archaic battle system) and should be allowed to fair and square. I’m more sad zela. Ow lost her clubs and teachers as she’s on the girl side, I can’t believe even the school clubs are segregated (hide spoiler)]
46% (view spoiler)[ There’s so much still to go in the book and many a thing to find out and yet there’s still way too many answers to questions I need. Not to mention the many storylines that need to be wrapped up. I have a feeling e sh*t is going to start hitting the fan in 3...2...1 (hide spoiler)]
66% (view spoiler)[ omfg WHAT THE wHAT?!?!?!? Cam was her brother, DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!! I mean at least she knows now and I still think her mother not telling her was wrong. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[I’m happy how everything went for them but i dunno I think the end was a little blah. I mean their other friends tapered off in this book and so that only left a few characters including Zach (who was obviously involved in something) and Hunter (who was just always around in the background somewhere). I’m glad the battle system is over, that was literally dangerous and while I’d like to say I can’t imagine something like that happening, in this world I totally could lol. I think because she was outed, so much changed in this book and since it was all so rushed in a sense the end seemed to come out of nowhere. In other books being in the guys side she had classes with them, battled them and could go to their rooms, here aside from lunch most their meet ups were in secret lol.
As for her dad, what a shithead. I get why she didn’t tell him who she was but I think I would have especially after what he did. I’m sorry he had one kid left living and he ruined any ch ace by being human garbage. Think he should suffer knowing who she is, but I may be wrong. He may not give a crap she’s his daughter, what do I know lol.
I always want a longer epilogue and I wished we had one here. The glimpse into the future was nice but it was overload of information especially with them naming all these kids, I wasn’t even clear how many they had or what. Either way I’m happy with their HEA and I’m glad they found a way to live that works for them all. Still feel bad girl has four men and has yet to even try to get them all together, or maybe she has?!? That’ll be in Part II 😂😂😂 Good series, I was hooked. (hide spoiler)]
